The British Government Crisis.

Storm clouds once more hover over
the British government. Premier Lloyd
Georges tenure is threatened by po-
litico- military crisis, which may result
in far-reaching changes. This. ut time
| when eo-ordinated plans of allied gov
state of perfection 1t is but natural
that America. realizing full well the
evils of distraction from the common
| task in the present war, should look
with interest. if not deep concern. upon
| most recent events in England, where
Gen. Maurice, questioning the ve-acitv
| of the premier and his ministers and
defying military discipline that he might
do so, has opened the door for censurc
of the government and its consequent
resignation.
The present situation is the direct out
growth of slowly crystallizing events.
1t marks most pronounced outcropping
of political ambitions of certain group
led by former Premier Asquith, who
would once more step into power. 1t
existed for nearly a yea: between the
war council, headed by the premier, and
the army. 1t is to settle the question
as to whether Premier Lloyd George is
to perpetuate his policies unmolested
or whether his enemies are to dictate
British endeavor IN the future
When former Premier Asquith stepped
down, surrendering the reins to Lloyd
George, he promised to do nothing to
embarrass the present government anC
refrained en- several occasions from
bringing test votes on important issues.
His former high position, however, made
Asquith the rallying point for discon
tented elements in parliament. The
time, however, never has been really
ripe for Asquith to answer the demands
of the malcontents, but the Maurice in
cident gives him this opportunity, in
asmuch as the activities of the army are
so closely coupled with it.
Enemies of Lloyd George constantly
have charged gross Interference with the
army's strategical and technical plans
by tine war council, a Lloyd George
creation. This was charged in the Byng-
Cambria affair and later when the 9TH
Army retired before the Germans on
the Somme "The army is being run
by politicians, not military men," has
been the popular cry of the prcmier's
enemies
But Premier Lloyd GEORGE is fighter
He will fight as he has never fought be-
fore. TIL" government Will reply to
Maurice charges; will answer political
enemies The policy of secretiveress
viii be cast aside in so far as expadi-
ency will permit, and the premier will
reveal the true status Of affairs
America wants the strongest possible
war government in control Of her ally's
affairs. From this distance the Lloyd
George coalition government looks
stronger than any that could be substi-
trted for it under Asquith's leadership

Nicaragua Joins.

It is a somewhat striking coincidence
that simultaneously with the formal
signing of 4 peace pact between the cen
trail powers and Rumania Nicaragua
should declare war on Germany and her
allies. Nicaragua is the twentieth ma
ton to join the anti-Teutonic alliance.
Not mich help can be expected from
her in tie big fight, but her accession
to the side of antiEun bclligerents is
nevertheless significant In the condi-
tons that prevail today there should be
NO neutrality. Germany's hand is
against all the wcrld, and it will be nee
essary eventually Cor every nation to
align itself ir sympathy, if not in fact
against the powe: that menaces civil
xation.

Asked as to work for the next Con-
gross Mr.. Hays replied:
1--WE must have forward stepping as
we'll as forward-looking program for
labor, for the farmer and for business"
In oTher words, a progressive program.
This is the note. AS The Star stated
some time ago. the word "standpatter"
no longer applies to anybody. Perforce,
there are no "standpatters" left. Every
body has been obliged to "get move
on" The war has started many things,
and the politicians, as others, must obey.
All now, on both sides Of the fence
democrats as we'll as republicans-are
"progressives."
The coming controversy will relate to
the forms Of progress, and the length Of
the steps taken. In what things should
we progress, and how far 60. at the
start? We cannot nope to build the
new Bone in day. So many readjust-

will be no easy matter to lay and chart
the new course. The capitalist, the wage

be consulted: and whatever is done must

the interests of ALL And the next Con-
gress, be it remembered, will meet on
the eve of The next presidential cam

The Next Congress,

. Chairman Hays Of the republican ma
tional committee is taking his office scri-
ously and filing it industriously. He
has just returned from western jour
ney in behalf of the third liberty loan.
He visited sixteen states. and naturally
discussed with local party leaders the
political situation.
He tells an interviewer:
"There is no politics in this war, and
there will be no politics of any kind
that will in any way touch the war;
This has been the report of all Wis
itors, east and west, north and south
Expressions everywhere on the subject
are Of one tenor. The people without
regard to party subscribe to the policy
Of adequate war supplies ond vigor-
Gus prosecution of hostilities.
Continuing. Mr.. Hays says:
"The country is republican. The
democrats hold the balance Of power be-
cause the republican party was divided
The party now is united--everywhere
Tn" next Congress will be safely repub.
lican."
The division which brought defeat to
the republicans in 1916 was in the west
and the near west. If Mr.. Hays has
discovered reunion out there his mes,
sage is Of genuine cheer for his party
and il he has assisted in the reconcilia.

Teachers' Pay.

! The Senate appropriations committee
in considering the District bill should
take par.ic"1 ur cognizance of the ,situa-
ton in the public schools and provide
! for an increase of teachers pay that will
be sufficiently substantial to hold
| them in service during the coming fiscal
year. The House made provision for
| an advance which is totally inadequate
in the lower grades, and unless there is
material net increase in the scale the
schools will be very greatly handicapped.
The teachers of the lower grades in
the schools cannot live on the pay that
is given them, with everything they
need already costing more than ever,
with other additions to their burden in
sight. Not even with the longevity in
creascs nor the horizontal advance can
these teachers of the lower grades main
tain themselves. They are by specific
restriction written into the deficiency
bill at this session virtually excluded
from taking positions in the government
departments. Congress owes it to them
Ito pay them enough! to live deccntly mas
much as this means Of betterment is
denied them. That prohibition was i'll
effect a mandate to remain in inc school
service here. If it is not accompanied
by substantial advance Of pay it is an
act of tyranny, for which there is no
justification in the state of the public
Treasury, and the effect of which can
only be to drive these teachers out Of
Washington into other educational
fields Calamitous results will follow
failure on the part of Congress to pay
these teachers what they really earn and
what they deserve and need.
