action was unprecedented" declared
Premier Lloyd George in the house
of commons this afternoon during the
course of the debate resulting from
Maurice's attack on the veracity of
the premier and the chancellor, Bonar
Law.
He didn't act fairly. He should
have made his charges before the cab
met"
There was record-breaking atten-
hour drew near for the opening of the
debate on the situation created by
General Maurice's letter, questioning
the advisability of Premier Lloyd
George and Chancellor of the Elk
chequer Bonar Law.
The galleries were packed: Among
the notables were the Archbishop OF
Canterbury and Lord Stamfordham,
the kings secretary.
Premier Lloyd George was cheered
loudly when ne arose to speak.
Neither myself nor my colleagues
are connected with the publication of
General Maurice's letter." declared
Herbert Asquith, former premier and
leader OF the opposition, in opening
the debate in commons.
cit is absurd to describe my mo-
ton (for a parliamentary investiga-
ton of the Charges against the pre-
mier and chancellor) as vote of CEN
sure.
IF l felt it my duty to censure the
government. I would have done it.
"A select committee is a far better
procedure than judges with compul-
sorry powers Asquith said.
Ex-Premier Asquith said he thought
it was not the business of parliament
to constantly inquire into the conduci
of successive phases of the war. The
house of commons, he added, had
more than enough, of such inquire:
already.

ROTA NEEDS MONEY
Funds Necessary to Entertain Soldiers
in Topeka Sunday.

A committee meeting of the Rota
club was held today at noon at the
Chamber of Commerce to complete ar
rangements for the party to be given
for the soldiers Sunday afternoon and
evening at the Chamber of Commerce.
The food to be served at the supper
for the soldiers has all been arranged
for, and nearly all of it will be given
to the cause without charge There
are still a good many expenses to be
met in connection with the party and
the club is asking for contributions of
money from anyone interested in the
plan for entertaining the men who
come to. Topeka for the weekend
from the camps. Any sums, no matter
how small ARE acceptable. They may
be left at the Santa Fe Watch COM
pany with Mrs. Alonzo S. Thomas.
The club women are giving their
time and work to the cause and are
donating also a great deal of the food
for the supper. The bills for the in
vitations and for necessary hired labor
in giving the party, as well as the cost
of ice cream, will make a sum of
money necessary. If the amount con-
tributed in response to the appeal the
women are making for funds, exceeds
the expense of the party. the remand
er will be used to defray the cost of
the next party at which the soldiers
will be entertained.

Paris. May 9.-Within five minutes

days of three aces who among them
had accounted for more than forty
five Germans. Lieutenant Chaput,
with sixteen Germans to his credit,
was killed Tuesday, while Sub-Lieu-

tories, was killed in the region of the
Somme yesterday. Captain Metre
met death while directing an infantry
attack from very low altitude. He
was struck by a machine gun bullet

AIRMEN ARE RESCUED
Two Exhausted Naval Aviators Picked
Up at Sea by Ship.

An Atlantic Port, May 1.-Two
naval aviators in a state of exhaustion
after remaining afloat with their
damaged hydro-areoplane five miles
off Miami, Fla, were rescued by a
coast steamship which brought them
here today.
The aviators had fallen into the sea
with their plane when its mechanism
went wrong, and told the captain of
the steamship when picked up that
they could not have held on to the
craft much longer.
The rescuing ship took the naval
aircraft aboard. 1t was put ashore at
the quarantine station here, the two
pilots also coming ashore.
