LLOYD GEORGE UPHELD
British Premier Victor Over
Maurice Charges by 1877 Votes.
British Line Extended at French In
sistence Before Council
Discussed 1t.

London.-Premier Lloyd George beat
even all his own records as a crisis
master in his counter attack against
the offensive of Gen. Frederick B. Maui
rice in the house of commons. The
house by a vote of 293 to LOG rejected
the motion of former Prime Minister
Herbert H Asquith that a select COM
mittee of that body should investigate
General Maurice's charges that the
war cabinet had deceived the nation
as to the condition of the army in
France.
The vote involved the fate of the
government, since Mr.. Asquith had evil
dently concluded that he would be able
to form another cabinet if he could
overthrow Mr.. Lloyd George.
There was no crisis left when the
premier was half through his speech,
and before he had ended there was
nothing of General Maurice left ex-
cept a very discredited name. Mr..
Asquith refrained from prejudicing
the house of commons in any way and
on the whole adopted very gingerly
tone, but, having leaned on broken
reed, he came down with it.
But who could have thought that. an
able, cool headed, highly experienced
soldier official would have impugned
the accuracy of statements which he
himself was responsible for supplying |;
which he never thought of impugning
until he was superseded in his post,
although he was in daily contact with
the premier in the course of his duties
at the war cabinet or who would have
stated that he was present at the Yer
sailles council when the decision to
lengthen the British line was taken,
whereas that decision was agreed be-
tween Haig and Petain before Any
Vel sailles council ever met, and on
the occasion when the decision was
ratified there Maurice was not present
at all?
These were incalculable improbable
ties, seeing the career and the repu-
tation of Maurice. He seemingly lost
his head when he lost his job.
The premier has greatly strengthen
cd his position by his handling of this
apparently thorny matter. When the
premier began to speak 1t was evident
he faced a house largely dubious, If
not suspicious, but before he sat down
he had it cheering vociferously.

The Lloyd George ministry has won
vindication in the British parliament
at a time when defeat would have
meant a government crisis. A motion
by former Premier Asquith asking for
the appointment of a special commit
tee to investigate sensational charges

rice, published earlier In the week, was
defeated by vote of 293 to 106

GERMAN U BOAT
BASE BOTTLED UP
Obsolete Warship vindictive Sunk
Across Channel in Brilliant Ex-
plot by Daring British Forces.
osTEND HARBOR is CLOSED.
Venture Is Accomplished IN Perfect
secrecy-British Losses Are Light.
zeebruege Still Barred Against
Passage by Submarines.

London.-German submarine opera
tions from the harbor of Ostend have
been stopped for a time, If not rem
dered impossible, by a daring raid
made on the harbor by the British. An
official statement issued by the British
admiralty says the channel leading
out of the inner harbor has been COM
pletely blocked by the hulk of the old
cruiser yindictive, which was manou-
vered into position under heavy fire
and then sunk by bombs.
The German official statement con-
cerning the raid says the attempt was
a failure and that the hulk of the old
cruiser lies outside of the navigation
channel. This report may be com
pared to the one issued on April "a,
on the day following the raid on Zee
brugge, which said that no damage
was done to the mole or harbor there.
Subsequent events have proved that
the damage done by the raid on April
% was of serious nature.
1t is stated that the obstruction in
the channel at Ostend will tend to
eventually close the harbor through
the action of the tides and the rapid
sitting up of the harbor.
If Ostend and Zeebrugge are re-
moved as ports from which the U boats
may be operated the Germans appar-
emily will be compelled to withdraw
their submersibles to their home ports.
In this connection 1t is interesting to
note that a week ago it was announced
that the greatest mine field known to
naval operations had been planted in
the North sea to combat the subma
rines. 1t was officially stated that the
area of this mine field would be 121,-
782 square miles and that it would be
completed by May Is. Some months
ago Admiral Jellic0e of the British
navy announced that the submarine
menace would be met by August 1,
and it is possible that he had the
blocking of the harbors of Zeebrugge
and Ostend and the laying of an i'm
mense mine field in mind when he
made his statement.
While the naval arm of the entente
nations was busy blocking the Ostend
u boat base of the Germans the mill
tary forces were engaged in local fight
ing in the Ypres and Somme sectors.
The French made a notable advance
at Grivesnes, where they took the part
of the town which had been in Ger
man hands for three weeks. Along the
front to the north there were scatter
ing engagements, notably at Ayeluy
wood, north of Albert, where the con-
tending armies are striving for the
strategic ground. There were also
small operations in the KENNEL front,
southwest of Ypres.
