THE BRITISH CRISIS.

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

alship and British generals have not distinguished them
selves as generals during the

General French made a costly failure of the offensive he
attempted. The British general staff has made a bloody
time ot thwvears ot ctlort.

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

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

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. They hissed the "villains"
from the kaiser to Von Tirpltz, and
cheered madly Orlo Eastman as Pres
ident Wilson.

America who does not believe that
we are going to win the war let him
