British Undaunted by
Crisis, Says Asquith

LONDON, June 24.-Speaking at a
luncheon Of the Aldych Club to-day,
former Premier Asquith said there was
no use in cloaking the fact, or mini
mizing its gravity. that the Allies had
reached most critical point in the
fortunes of war. But nothing that had
happened on the Western front since
the last week of March, he added,
would in the slightest degree weaken
British allegiance to the great purpose
for which the British people were
fighting or their determination to press
on to the final accomplishment of their
aims.
Mr.. Asquith evoked cheering when,
in speaking of the strain of the pres
ent period, he said that this afforded
opportunities for the "cruder forms of
sensation mongering, which found a
ready market among people of low in
teligence and high credulity."
Mr.. Asquith in the sentence quoted
undoubtedly referred to the recent
Pemberton-Billing libel case. The ex-
Premier was alleged to be one of the
$4,000 British men and women in a
list of those said to be addicted to
vice compiled by the Germans for the
purpose of blackmail

Britain Likely to

LONDON, June 14.-The question of
establishing second Cabinet in Great
Britain to deal with domestic affairs
and relieve the War Cabinet of the
pressure of that work will be brought
before both houses of Parliament next
week. The subject has been discussed
in the press, and it has been rumored
the government has decided on two
Cabinets, one domestic and the other
war.

the present war Cabinet is not likely
to agree to any Such definite division
of the functions of government, al
though it is understood some changes
in the present machinery are planned.
"The Times" says questions of purely
