GOVERNMENT TO STAKE
LIFE ON ONE THROW

The motion will be debated in the
house Thursday and the government
has decided t o stand Oh fall on the
vote taken after the discussion. The
government looks upon the motion
as a vote of censure and has called
its supporters to the house for a vote
tomorrow.
The action of General Maurice for
mer chief director of military opera
lions in impugning the veracity of
ministers of the government has
created a political situation which is
of vital Importance to the cabinets
existence according to the views ex-
pressed by several of the morning
newspapers. Newspapers which have
consistently supported the present ad-
ministration rally to its side. insinu-
ate openly that Premier Asauith and
his followers are back of General
Maurice and that the affair is a ma
euver to GUST the Loyd-George cabi-
net, and put in its place a cabinet
headed by Mr.. Esquith- Viscount
Grey and the Marquis of ~Lansdowne.
Thursday debate, the Daily Telegram
thinks, will be the most serious of
any the government has had to face,
involving the question of it's continu-
ance in power. The paper is convinc-
ed that the ministers acted in perfect
good faith when they made the state
ment which General Maurice contra
diets and believes they merely repeat
ed information supplied by their mill
tary advisers.
Scores Asquith.
The Daily Mail, which strongly sup
ports Premier Lloyd-G George, and is
strongly inimical to former Premier
Asquith, say the debate on Mr.. AS
quith's motion will afford him the
needed opportunity for an attempt to
bring about a parliamentary crisis.
It remarks:
"The nation has no confidence in
the ~discredited and dilatory politicians
and their pacifist %hangers-on, who
were driven from office eighteen
months ago"
The conservative Morning Post says
that the premier's own act brought the
pass. He refused it declares, to take
the advice of soldiers; the Germans
took advantage of the situation and
the Premier threw blame on. the sol
diers. The Post adds:
"The hand of Nemesis is now
stretched out. Lloyd-George will need
all his nimbleness to avoid being
cracked on the wheel of destiny. He
has had his chance and has proved
himself unfit for the work in hand.
But nobody can rejoice who considers
the alternative and the prospect Of
fered."
The Radical Daily News, which is
opposed to the Premier, r~eioices that
the government will not accept the
Asquith motion but will treat it as a
of censure so that parliament on
Thursday must take a decision involv-
ing the life of the government.

Deported Without Any
Trial or Hearing.

(6y Leased Wire to New Mexican.)
WASHINGTON, May s.-Unofficial
advlces received here tell Of an or
der for the expulsion from Mexico by
the carranza government Of Root H,
Murray, the representative of the com
mittee on public information, who, In
that capacity has been In charge OF
work conducted by the American gov
eminent to offset German propagan-
ds. At the same time, the unofficial
advices say, one of the correspond
ents Of the Associated Press in Mexi-
Gu City, w. &. Weigand was also or
dered to leave. The expulsion Of both
men, it is said, was ordered under the
thirty-third section Of the Mexican
constitution which provides for the
summary deportation Of "pernicious
foreigners" without trial or hearing
some of the experiences of Ameri-
cans expelled from Mexico under that
section have been described as little
short Of narrowing.
Murray was the correspondent OF
the New York World and one Of the
best known newspaper men in Mexico.
When it was determined t o take
steps to properly inform Mexicans OF
the attitude of the United States in
the wal and thus attack the German
propaganda in Mexico which for
months has been described as ram
pant, Murray was selected by the com
mittee on public information to carry
on its work. An order for his expul-
sion is taken to substantiate reports
that German propaganda had gained
the upper hand in Mexico official cir
oles. The state department was with
cut official advices from Ambassador
Fletcher on the subject but had re-
ceived the report unofficially. Other
sources Of information here in touch

coST-PLUs CONTRACTS
HAVE BEEN CHALLENG

HNEN - 49, - - - -
Washington, May THE cost-plus
pany, at Newark, N. j., for construc
ton Of 100 steel ships Of 5000 tons
each have been cancelled, Charles NJ
Schwab, chairman of the emergency
fleet committee told the senate com.
merce commission in an investiga'
ton of the company's work. New
contracts were substituted on a flat
basis of 100000 for each ship.
Cost-plus contracts at the Hog
Island and Bristol, Pa. government
yards we're continued, Mr.. Schwah
said. The substitution for the New
ark, N. J., bay yards was designed
to speed up construction, which it
was said, is far behind schedule.
Another reason for changing the
contract. Mr.. Schwab said, was that
it had been reported that officers Of
the submarine company were inter
ested III profits obtained by other
companies selling material to the
fleet corporation. Mr.. Schwab ex-
planned he had not confirmed these
reports.
BY annuling the contracts, Mr..
Schwab said the government would
definitely limit costs and also place
upon the contracting corporation the
risks of construction. In fixing $780,
00O as the price of ships, Mr.. Schwab
said, the corporation allowed for va
rious Increases over the original es-
Inmates of cost.
The old contracts placed material
at $3.50 moo which the new one in
creases by $4,000: the labor cost
originally estimated at 5000 600 was
increased 40 per cent and the over
head expenses originally s2O0,0 900
was Increased to $4,000. The fee
of $4,000 makes the total Of $780,
non. Mr.. Shcwab gave it as his
opinion that the new contracts
means that the ships actually will
cost less Than under the cost-plus
contract and that construction will be
speeded IN. The question of delays
at Newark was not discussed at
length. The company, it is said. eX-
neeted TO overcome all difficulties
coon. Further hearings by the com
mittee viii not he necessary Chair
nan Fletcher announced at the coil
clusion Of the session.
