It hopes to oust Premier Asqutth nnd put
War Secretary David I.loyd George In his

the Dally Chronicle had the following to say
about tha situation!
"Humors are flying about of an Impending
reconstruction of tho government They
seem to spring from a state of mind rather
than from reality, but It Is undeniably true
that the House of Commons Just now Is
very critical and dissatisfied with the Gov
ernment Tho 'ginger groups' point to the
Balkans nnd the submarine menaca as evi
dence of the Government's Incapability to
wage war with foresight nnd vigor. At the
other extreme tho opponents of conscription
assert that our shipping troubles and soma
of our food problems have been caused by
tha wholesale withdrawal of mon from pro
ductive employment, nnd that as we enlarge
tho army we mako Inroads Into our reserve
and economic, strength."
