NEW YORK, May 1O.-The issue of
militaristic resentment against the or
ders of the British civil government
has been been raised by Major Maui
rice's public accusation of lying
brought against Lloyd Georges minis
try. No democracy thatdeliberately
misleads public opinion can CONTINUE
to exist; but General Mauries has not
yet proven that the civilian authorities
have deceived the British people con-
corning the ture facts of the army.
This is General Matrices second re-
lent adventure in impetuous criticism.
His first was his attack on General
Foch during the German offensive
in Flanders for not ordering French
reserves northward as rapidly as Gem
eral Maurie believed should have been
done.
If General Maurice had not been re,
moved from his post because of this
offense, it is highly improbable he
would not be attempting to overthrow
the Lloyd George ministry to justify
tme right of militarists to challenge
the power of the civil government.
The charge of the mis-statement of
which General Maurice brings against
the prime minister relates to declara-
ton in the house of commons Mon
day, a month ago. If the matter is
as serious as General Maurice tries
to make out, it is difficult to explain
on the theory that his action is sole
ly for the good of the army.
| General Matrices work as direc-
tor of military operations formed the
link connecting the British govern
ment at home with the army COM
manders in the field 1t was General
Maurice's duty before his removal
to have brought before the prime min
lister privately any mis-statements
about the army in the house of COM
mons and uot to use the newspapers
now for that purpose after his re-
sponsibility had ceased.
General Maurices retirement from
i his former position was undoubtedly

ASQUITH'S MOTION REJECTED BY
SUBSTANTIAL MAJORITY AND
MAURICE'S CRITICISMS ARE UN-
NOTICED.

LONDON, May 10--EX-Premier AS
Guith's motion for the appointment of
a select committee to investigate the
charges made by General Maurice was
rejected in the house of commons last
night by vote OF 293 to 106.
Sir Edward Carson, leader of the
Irish Unionists appealed to r. As

ST. Edward said that if the YEA y

the house there was no longer any
possibility OF carrying on the govern
ment.
Premier Lloyd-George was cheered
loudly when he arose to speak. He
said he had been treated unfairly 1t
was the business of General Maurice
to come to the cabinet and point out
where the ministers had made mis-
takes, he declared.
Denying that the strength of the
British fighting force had been misrep-
resented as stated by General Maurice
Mr.. Lloyd-George asserted the figures
which he had given were taken from
official records at the war office.
Since that he had made inquiries on
this point, he added, and the figures
were not inaccurate.

due to a large extent to the instantan-
eous criticism of the United States
unequivocal position toward General
Foch America, therefore, is. respon-
sible for the turn General Maurice has
sought to give to events.
His public attack on the British gov
eminent is Challenge to democratic
governmental responsibility It should
strengthen the Lloyd George minis
try, but if the government fails on
the issue, any succeeding premier
will be compelled to disavow suspic-
ion that he is an army appointee.

Finally we got word that the Ger

prepared for it. They had not been

not only an artillery officer: he is a

man would have come had he asked
for volunteers to, face the German bar

he got not only volunteers, but men
inspired by his example.
We'll. we worked that gun all
through the attack. How we'll. we did
we do not know, but one of the Ger
mans captured by our infantry said
that in one of the villages in which
they were assembling. and on which
our gun was trained, his regiment had
so per cent casualties before they ad-
vanced. We had thrown thirty 300
Founders into that village.
"A lot of funny things happened that
night. One was about that little prize
fighter I mentioned-Harvey. He
used to be a waiter on the liner which
took us to France, and he got to like
this battery so much that he asked us
to take him along. So we recruited
for him, and in the camp in France he
was a conspicuous figure in his wait
er's uniform.
when Capt Barker noticed him one
day and found that Harvey was once a
waiter, he took him for an orderly

an excellent orderly.
But Harvey had been a fighter, too.
The day of this attack Harvey. as was
his custom. followed the captain about
and in the evening. when the captain
went to the gun, Harvey came also.
He asked IL he could be of any use,
and we put him to fixing up fuses on
