POLITICAL crisis involving the .security of the Llovd (ieoriro covoriiiiu-iit has arisen in Great, Uriain A over the letter written by deneral Maurice, formerly chief director of military operations in which ho questioned the veracity of tho premier and 1 he chancellor of the ex chequer. In the house of commons a parliamentary tilt between Andrew Bonar Law, for the government, and former Premier Asquith resulted in the government's ac ceptance of a motion by Mr. Asquith that the house discuss the form of inquiry to he made into the statements of Gen eral Maurice. The government, regarding the motion as a vote of censure, lias decided to stand or fall on the vote taken after the discussion of the subject. Oeneral Maurice unquestionably reflects the attitude of the British general staff over the appointment of Gen eral Foch as commander-in-chief of tho allied forces for the unification of commands has been obstinately op posed since Lloyd George saw its need and suggested it long ago. Its influence was powerful enough to prevent the coordination of forces essential to victory, until the British defeat in March The British general staff is drawn almost exclusively from the aristocracy a product of the feudal caste system surviving in England. Until the present war, the officers of the British army were all drawn from the aristocracy and for centuries the army has boon looked upon as one of the few fields of activity reserved for the youths of the "higher" classes. The sentiment of the aristocracy toward Lloyd George is well known for Lloyd George is a fundamental demo crat and attacked the feudal land' system that nurtured a privileged class, mulcted inherited wealth by income and inheritance taxes, and curtailed the perogatives of that tory brake, upon democracy, the house of lords. In addi tion to the traditional hostility of the aristocrats toward the enemy of their class, the British officers naturally felt humiliated and resentful in being made subordinate to a French general. "When stern necessity forced their re luctant consent, generals like Maurice could not restrain their vexation and irritation and as there are in England', as in America, politicians willing to sacrifice the welfare of country upon the altar or personal ambition, a cabinet ens it has been forced to get rid of Lloyd George if possible. Jlinuenhurg lias said that the British soldier, he had only contempt for British gener alship and British generals have not distinguished them selves as generals during the been developed on the western trout under the caste sys tem there is little opportunity -for genius to assert itself. General French made a costly failure of the offensive he attempted. The British general staff has made a bloody time ot thwvears ot ctlort. local victories, at disproportionate sacrifice of life, in it- grand otlensives m the Soiumc, at Arras, at pros and tit Cambrai. And the present German offensive, which in flicted the worst defeat in British history and narrowly es caped annihilating the British army., after a retreat of 35 miles and the loss of three Years gains, can only be regard ed as confirming the inefficiency of tho British staff. Altho tho allies knew in planned an attack upon an of Arras, little preparation rt. The British litlli army serves, was loll to hold an extended line against which the Germans struck with lorty odd divisions, breaking the line in four places the first day and till but aunihilat ing it. No second system ot doienses nad upon. The blame for defi. t must be shared by the general staff, as well as by General (lough, commander of the fifth army, who has been math the goat. General Maurice, during the German offensive at Ypros, vented his chagrin over the appointment of a for eign generalissimo in reflections upon General Foch, re marking that British success depended "in the arrival of Bluecher in time" hinting that relief would not arrive, when even as ho said it, French forces were saving the day and preventing a major British defeat as they had already prevented one at Amiens. There is a reactionary class in Fnghind which does not want; Germany decisively defeated and autocracy des troyed If. t in the world-wide democratic triumpli their own perquisites in England be curtailed or destroyed. This class, of which Lantlsdowne is representative, seek a nego tiated peace fop the preservation of privilege. Llovd George is under a constant source. In addition, the general staff is seeking to avoid the blame of its record of government The vote in parliament will show which is strongest the army clique or the people.

BUTTER ICE ICECREAM POULTRY (EGGS KAISER AT PAGE FOR THREE DAYS T The kaiser "The Beast of Berlin" will he screened at the Page theater Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. As an added attraction there will be as 'elKht-piece orchestra under the leadership of Mr. Harcke who con ducted the orchestra during the eight day engagement of the kaiser at the People's theater, Portland. See what the New York papers say about the production: Globe "The Kaiser" Is full ot scenes and incidents which grip the heartstrings Irresistibly. The Broad way theater has in this production a moving picture that appeals with ex traordinary force to American men and women whose bloo dls red and and women whose blood is red arid not sluggish. Evening Sun This remarkable almost daringly startling production is more powerful than the strongest of recruiting speeches. It is the great world melodrama adapted for the screen, and the audience received it as such.
