BRITISH MAKE A RAID
CAPTURE MACHINE GUNS
HITS. LLOYD GEORGE
General Maurice AssaH> the Brit
ish Ministry.
Former Director of Military Opera
tions In War Office Says Leaders
Have Misled People.

London, May 9.-The government
has decided to treat Mr.. Asquith's mo-
ton on the General Maurice affair as
vote of censure, and has issued a call
to it's supporters to attend the house of
commons Thursday for a division.
This is taken to imply that the pro-
posed inquiry, whether by judges or
parliamentary committee, has been
left entirely to the judgment of the
house.
London, May S.-One of the sensa
tiOns of the war has been developed by
the publication of a letter by Gen. T.
b. Maurice, deposed director of mill
tary operations in the war office, charg
ing that the government has misled
the public with regard to the conduct
of the war and the strength of Field
Marshal Haig's forces.
AS a result of these charges, pub
lished in the morning. papers, former
Premier Asquith has given notice that
he will move for the appointment of
committee from the house Of commons
to investigate the Maurice affair, in
stead of leaving the matter to two
judges, constituting a court of honor,
as proposed by Andrew Bonar Law,
government spokesman in the house.
General Maurice, it is indicated from
government sources, has made himself
liable to disciplinary action by the
military authorities. At the same time
the press declares the charges are so
serious as to warrant searching par
liamentary inquiry.
The letter charges Bonar Law and
Premier LloydGeorge with having
made misstatements in the house Of
commons with reference to military
matters, and says they are the latest
in series recently made by the gov
ernment in parliament.
Il was at Versailles" he declares,
the council, to which it had been re-
ferred."
General Maurice then traverses Pre-
mier Lloyd-George's assertion on April
8 that the British army in France was
considerably stronger on January 1,
adding:
''That statement implies that Haig's
fighting strength on the eve of the
battle beginning March p had not
been diminished. That is not correct" !"
MY reasons for taking the very
grave step of writing this letter." he
says, "are that the statements referred
to are known by large number of
soldiers to be incorrect, and that this
knowledge is breeding such distrust of
the government as can only end in i'm
pairing the splendid morale of our
troops at time when everything pos
sible should be done to raise it.
81 have therefore decided, fully
realizing the consequences to myself,
that my duty as a citizen must over
ride my duty as soldier, and I ask
you to publish this letter in the hope
that parliament will order an investi-
cation of the statements I. have made"

loss of the naval tug Cherokee, which
foundered off Cape Hen,open, Del,
