LONDON, May 9,-The Lloyd George ministry 'won a notable victory in the house of commons today.' By a Vote of 293 to 106 the house voted down a motion introduced' by former Premier Asquith, providing for the appointment of a special committee to investigate charges ms/de by Major-Gen. F. B.

' Asquith Spaaks. In his address Mr. Asquith said: "i suggest to tho libuso that it Is lit the .common lhtercst-of tho government themselves, the army, the state, the allies and of unhampered prosecution of tho war to set up a tribunal of lrtqulr|i',< which from Its-constitution and power. would lie ahl-v to ' -glvil [JMSftpr^hir SKteHtatrve jmTgmoiif,' I* hbpo that In regard to soma of those matters there has been a genuino and |honcst! ilfldm'SlliKdMg." !

During hat time ho never challonged those il'a'tbrhonts, when ho not merely had jie'eess to official information, but to ho ministers themselves,1' Continuing, -with reference to Gen. -ourlco's charges, the premier said: 'ft was his duty to go, first of all, to J he cabinet or to the minister tin- i'dgned and point out the mistake and ,sk him to correct It. Nevor a syl lable was there until I saw hie letter In the newspapers. I say I havo been .'treated badly. Perhaps Gen. Maurice thought It was his business to approach his own chief of staff' first." The premier favored a judicial inquiry because judges were accustomed to give, a short, sharp decision. Mr. Asquith had askb'd him what liad happened since TueBday, to which he replied: "Since Tuesday It has become clear from the statements of th'e press which support Mr. Asquith that no do- clslon.of any secret tribunal would be acceptable, but thoso who aro egging on thb former premier, prodding him and suggesting that ho ought to do this or that to embarrass the government will go on exactly as they have be* fore. Tho government have, therefore, decided t'oglVo the facts ln public and lot tho public judge." The premier said Mr. Asquith spoko as if the whole press was supporting tho government. Mr. Asquith had his own press, too, although he seemed to think all the violent press was that with which Mr. Asquith did not agree.

Maurice and declared that statements made In his recent speech, to which Gen. Maurice's charges referred, were made on info'r nintlon received from Gen. Maurice's department.

In agreement wim" "Field Marshal Haig, the war cabinet having interfered in no way in the' irtatter, although It approved of the dispositions. Whon the premier loft tho house he was loudly cheered. Tlie premier, discussing Gon. Maurice's action, said he had ascertained that Gen. Maurice had never made representations to the chief ot staff'on tho subject. "Yet," the premier continued, "this is so Important that' a select committee must bo set up to inquire into it: so important us i to ' justify Gen. Maurice trammeling on tho King's regulations and Bet up an example of indiscipline to the whole army." Both he and Mr. Bonar Law were anxious for an examination of their statements by a perfectly impartial tribunal. There was a mass of confidential documents involved and he maintained that a select committee was not tho best tribunal to investigate facts when passions wero aroused. The house of commons long ago camo to a similar docislon when such questions as elections were involved, Mr. Asquith had depreciated a select committee to investigate Mesopota. mla for reasons which the premier considered right'.

Subje&t of Distinction "I do not know whether Gen, Maurice had thai In mind whon ho talkod about fighting strength. It must draw a distinction between tho combatant and the non-combatant. Let mo say at onco that I do not accept distinction when he talks about fighting strength, as to who are combatants nnd who aro non-combalants. (Cries of "Oh! Oh!") Aro thoso men who stopped tho advance of tho Germans at Amiens the other day combatants? They are not if you begin to make distinctions. . "Are tho men who aro under flro every day making roads and tramways and railways, who suffer severe casualties, combatants or non-combatants? Does anyone mean to tell me that they aro not part of the fighting strongth of the army?" After reading from a document which, ho said, came from Gen. Maurice's department nine days aftor tho premier's speech, tho sentence: "From the statement Included it will bo scon that tho combatant strongth of tho British was greater on tho first of January, 101S. than on tho first of January, 1917." The promlor continued: "1 havo -been charged with misleading the public and leading tho public to boliovo that at tho tlmo of the attack on the allied positions on the westorn front, wo had a. slight superiority in Infantry, a superiority in cavalry and a superiority in artillery. The wholo of theso figures woro based on statements made by Gen. Maurice." With reference to the extension of the British front, aftor doclaring that Gon. Maurice, though at Versailles, was not In tho council chambors, said: "Thero was. .not -vsingl.0 yard taken ovor as. the result, of .tho Versailles council. Although Gen.

"I am not suggesting for a moment that our French allies wero acting unfairly. There was considerable foment n France last year on tho subject of the line held by tho French army. The French losses hud been enormous and they liad sustained (the fjreut strain of the fight for three years. "Thero was a larger proportion of French manhood put Into the line than in any other belligerent country. Thoy had a front of 326 miles. Wo held 120 miles. But tho Germans wore massed much more densely against our line and our linos wero much more vulnerable. Tho Fronch were pressing us to extend our lino in order that they might withdraw men from tho army for the purpose of agriculture. Their agricultural* output had fallen enor mously and it was essential that thoy ahould withdraw men for the purposo of cultivating their soil. "Tho chief of tlie Frenoh staff and Gen.

' ' Everyone,..sald the premier, would admit that those were sound proposals. Tho cabinet accepted them without demur. They hnd never departed from those principles one iota during the negotiations. There was a meeting . at 'Boulogne between Preriiler "Lloyd-.George, Gen, Robertson, ' M. Palnleve and.. Gen. Foch, which had been summoned to discuss important questions concerning the foreign office. M. Pamleve raised the question of an extension of the front. Robertson Deals. Mr. Lloyd George was not in tho least prepared for that and he told Gen. Robertson that it was a.matter he must deal with and the whole matter.was dealt with by Gen. Robertson. In consequence1 of this subjeot having been raised and discussed at this conference. Field Marshal. Plalg got the Impression^ that, some decision had been.arrived ali by the cabinet without his consent. Consequently, Gen. Rob- ortson drew up the following, memorandum; •<*«At"t'-n* rirc-f|rt'Bouiogne-'.conferanep •between the pfene minlstet\'.M.''>Pa}ii'* leye, f*e*i. Foujifa'wl myself, the question of mttendijig our front was raised .by tho FVexjch'jreprL'St'iitatives." .'Mr. Lloyd George Interjected: "Having regard to tlie assertion that we pvari-uled ftiold. Marshal Haig and Gpn. Robertson, I want the house to note 'those woWfe.'' ■• The memorandum continued: "The reply given.was that,-while in principle, we, of course, were ready to do whatever should be done, tbe matter was one. that could not be discussed In. the absence of Field Marshal Haig or during the continuance .of tho present operation and that due regard must also, be had to the plan of operation for next year, "It was suggested as best for tlie field 'marshal to come to an arrangement with Gen.' Petain when this could be. done. I am aware that no further formal discussion has taken place and the matter, therefore, ;0an- not be regarded as decided. . Further.: I feel sure that tho war cabinet would not think of deciding such an Important question Without obtaining Field Marshal Haig's view and I am replying to him in lite above sense, ' ■" "That was on Oct. 18," said the premier, "and the war cabinet, fully approved of the communication! Field Marshal JIalg replied.at.once,that that threw a new .light, on the Boulogne discussion;" The .premier, complained that, although It had been repeatedly asserted that Field' Marshal Haig was not con- thc now light, was never mentioned. ■ Discuss Question. On Oct. 24 this question was first formally discussed, with the war cabinet, There was further pressure from the French' government and Gen. Robertson gave his views concerning the line the British ought to take. This conclusion, was rsjeorded in the minutes of the war cabinet asioljows:' . j "After-bearing the chief .of staff, the jfoltowlng decision was recorded: 'Tho jwar cabinerTtpprpved. the; suggestion •of'&o^lef'brstaff'thathe should reply to Field .Marshal Haig, ln the fdl- 'lowing.sense: The war cabinet Is pf the opinion that in.deciding to what oxtent tlie British trqops can take over the line from tho French, regard must be had to' the.necessity for" giving them a reasonable opportunity for leave and training .(luring the winter months and for.the plan of operations for next year, and, further, that while the present offensive contlnues.lt will not be possible to commence taking over mo.rc. The .general military policy for.next year ls now under consideration and will subsequently form the subject of a conference with the air lied governments. In these circumstances the "yar cabinet fears.,that until this policy Is settled It will be premature to decido finally whether tho'British front can be extended by four divisions or to a greater or-a less extent that this.'' That was communicated to Field Marshal Haig and never departed from." . Cambrai Incident The premier continued: ■ "Afterward came the Cambrai incident and the' Italian .disaster, which necessitated our, sending troops' from France. That made it difficult fpr the field marshal to carry opt the promise he had made to Gen, "Retain for a certain extension, which was not as largo as the one which subsequently, took place. It .-was then that the presence of the French president camo In.and he is not an easy gentleman to refuse. (Laughter:and cheers.) . "He was very Insistent that the British army should take the line over. We stood by the position that that was for decision by the: commander- in-chief. We never swerved from that position. "At last: Premier Clemenceau' suggested that the question should'be examined by the military representatives at Versailles, and. that tho Versailles council', should decide, if thero- were any differences of opinion. The military representatives at Versailles examined the question and tlie only .interference, if it -was., interference, was that they communicated witntho chief• of staff,-who we thought was In France at'the time, and'Fleld Marshal Haig, to urge on them the importance of ***C:ir caspj.for V»ar8a'Has,..8p.jas .to •rtialjp'.the. -(irongtat »o-is'b)o:cage..for. the.British. That was the.only interference, so far as tho British cabinet was concerned. Tbe. military representatives at Versailles suggested a compromise between tho. British and French view, comparing It with. the recommendatlou that-steps ought .to betaken by the French army to.assist the British if attacked. ■ Versailles Council ''That recommendation Was to come up for discussion at the meeting of the Versailles council on Feb. 1. Before that meeting, Field Marshal Haig and Gen. Petain entered Into an agreement for the extension of the front tp Varissy and Field Marshal Hale re* ported that to the Versailles council. No further extension of the line occurred.' "That .is the. whole story and I want to make it perfectly, plain that Field Marshal Haig's action in-taking ovor the extension had tho full approval of the British cabinet, having regard for the pressure froip the French authorities, Field Marshal Haig had no option but to mako the extension. Ho was, ln our judgment, absolutely right in that course; Naturally, he would have preferred'not to have done It. "What Idas been the result? There have been previous rumors full of mischief, full of harm, so far as the British army is concerned,'that we, in spite of remonstrations of Haig and Robertson, forced them to take a risk they ought never to havo taken. Does, anyono suppose that Field Marshal Haig would for a moment have accepted such .responsibility? "I am not sorry that this opportunity has been given to dispose, once for. all...of these rumors. But the real lesson of this discussion about tho extension ! of the line was the importance of the unity of command; it would never have arisen but for that. I United Army Now '.\ "Instead of separate army commands we now have one united'army and one commander responsible for the whole and every part. I am glad of that. But it was not so much a question of length of line. It was a question of the reserves massed bo- hind them. There are two general considerations to which I must refer. I would like to say something about the effect of such action as Gen. Maurice's on the discipline -of the army. It was a flagrant breach of discipline, which I regret, Mr. Asquith failed to depreciate this.-- "If there was a vote of censure on tho government we could not possibly continue operations, If It carried ,and Mr. Asquith would then be responsible for the government" (Cries of.

Stevenson was in tho chair and called on several of those present to give their experience's and opinion regarding the campaign. The concensus of opinion was that It would not be Neleon-llko to fall down ln tho work and that if the members wore given more time in which to canvass, thero would be no doubt that the citizens of Nelson would subscribe the amount asked for. The chairman explained that this was necessary as so many members had found It impossible to cover their whole district and ho believed much more would bo obtained when tho canvassers had had tlmo to cover all the city. This brought out further discussion and several of tho men made emphatic statements that they were not satisfied to quit until more effort was made.
