BSERVERS in this country can take their pick of teasons for O the fall of the Asquith Ministry or dismiss it in Lord North- cliffe’s phrase as “the knockout of the gang of aged and inept mediocritics who have prevented the British Empire from exert- | ing its full force in the war.” | There have always been plenty of hard names available for war- | time Ministers who found themselves, as months wore on, with never a victory to announce, One thing is certain: Political leaders, party factions and a deeply disturbed public in the United Kingdom are all desperately} feeling around for the Right Man, And they will continue to seck| him, think they have found him, fear they have made a mistake and) seek him again, until the grim, terrible chapter draws to some sort | of close. } It is all very well to talk about Cabinets and War Councils. But} what a people at death-grips with an enemy really gropes for is one man—one dominant personal force upon whom it can centre its pa and stake its fortunes, | From this distance it looks as if in England that astute and wiry | Welshman, Lloyd George, would have next chance to prove himself the | man. But does anybody think Lloyd George could outlast a year of | ' deadlock or disaster for British forces in the field? | ees Se eet eager ee “BRITISH CABINET | * saat A meet hit * !

Tho coloseal bleeding-mill on the war front has two doors, through which, from cither side, fighting nations thrust their tens and hundreds of thousands of victims weekly. But nobody pulls down the mill or even slackens the grind of it.
