In it.: yt-sterilay's issue the Examiner says: “ The error was, of course, attributed to lnadvertence But what is to be thought and said when it remains ii|icorret:ted‘? Are we to conclude that the Patriot desire: that its readers shall remain niisiliformed and shall gt to the polls next fall with ti false impression in this regard? “ The matter is not of itself of much moment. _ . _ But it is the reputation of the Patriot about which we art solicitous. If wrong on one point, and avoiding the con- fession aiid correction of its error on that point, wha is the public to think of its statements upon other points'!‘ The Patriot is thoroughly discredited as a reliabli critic and honest controversialist. it persists in its allegations that the taxation of thi farmers has been increased, though we have shown tha the exact contrary is the case. The bankrupt aggregatioi of so-called Liberals all btit ruined the country, and nov that the Mathieson Government has succeeded in placini our finances on a solid t'oundation the Patriot would 'likt the Grits to have another opportuiiit_\' of putting theh hands in the Treasury and blasting our fair prospects But never again for the farmer- Awaf, Grits, awa'! Awa', Grits. awa`! Ye‘ll do uae gudc at a’. Our .fairms flourish .fr_e.5l1, .and fillf.. And hoiinie bloom our roses; But Grits would come like frost in June, i\n` wither a' our posies- Awaf, Grits, awa`! A GREAT NEWSPAPER opinion was widely expressed that the charge had been bringing about the fall of the old party government and tht- substitution of a coalition. The political crisis arosi with extrordinury suililciiess. ()n Wednesday. May 10 .\lr. Asquith aassurc'l ii questioner in the House of (fum nions that “thc ndniissiun into thc ranks of Mliiistcrs ol lcading menibcrs of the various political parties ill tht lloiisn" was not in coiitciiiplniioii, and he was not awarc that it would im-ci with general assent. 'I`l\iS Slaiclllelli was absolutely truc at the time it was made. But in ri short week, although neither party had abated its dislike of the principle of a Coalition Government, both were brought face to face with vitally changed clrcum stances. The growing conviction that the Government was failing, with existing niacliinery. to supply the army with an adequate quantity of munitions had been steadily undermining thc very difficult position in which it found itself as the result of the party truce. A memorable dis- patch from the Times correspondent in France. which was published two days later, brought matters to a head. This question alone would have been sufficient to precipitate a crisis. Thi- trouble which arose at the Admiralty (thc pro-lrai-ti-d cu-operation of Mr. Churchill mid Lord Fisher appears to have become impossible) on the following day made it iloulil_v plain that things could not go on as they wi-re. Both the Government chiefs and the leaders of the Opposition realized that the only patriotic way out of thc difficulty was the formation of the strongest coalition that could possibly be brought together. The salient points in the memorable Times’ dispatch, which was dated from Northern France, May 12, were as followsz- “Tlic result of our attacks on Sunday last In the dis- tricts of Fronielles and Rlchebourg were disappointing. We found the enemy much more strongly posted than we expcctcd. We had not sufficient high explosive to level his parapets to the ground after the French practice, and. when our infantry vuliantly stormed the trenches, as they did in both attacks. they found a garrison undlsmayed. many entanglements still Intact, and maxims on all cities ready to pour in streams of bullets. We could not main- tiiin ourselves in the trenches won. and our reserves were not thrown in because the conditions for success hi an assault were not present. "The attacks were well planned and vallantly conducted. The liifantry did splendidly, but the conditions were too hurd. The want of an uiillnilted supply of high explosive was a fatal bar to our success. "We have had many casualties this week, but if we have not won all we hoped. we have detained in our front a force equivalent to our own, and have greatly facilitated the French offensive on our right. This offensive swept on towards the Arras-Lens Road like a flood. , "By dhit of the expenditure of 276 rounds of high ex- plosive per gun in one day. all the German defences, except the villages, were levelled wltli the ground, and. though we must expect that German reinforcements will be sent from other parts of the long Western llne. we have good hope that the Frelburg Army Corps and other German troops will be destroyed and that the gallant French Gen. erals who are leading this powerful and valiant ittackwlll gain it great success. "Ou our slde we have eeslly dofated all attacks on Ypres. The value of German troops ln the attack has greatly de- teriorated. and we can deal eaelly with them ln the open, But until we are thoroughly equipped for this trench war. fare, we attack under grave disadvantages.

Mr. Tennant °eplied that he would make inquiry, On Tuesday morning Mr. Kellaway repented his ques- tion, mid Mr. Asqulth replied, "The statement was cen- iored at General Headquarters in France.” In reply to a `urtl\er question Mr. Tennant stated explicitly that the nessiige never went before the Press Bureau ln London at all. ~ On the adjournment, however, Mr. Tennant stated that ie had since learned that the message “was also consid- -rcd by the Military Operations-Department of the War )fflce" and that “he believed that certain pnssagesf. ` were :ensored there." ln reply. the London Times said on Wednesday morning: “As to whether the message was censored at General .-Iendquarters ln France, we have no private information. Phe Prime Minister may know more about the matter than .ve do. ln any case we readily accept his statement that .lie message was so censored. “To the facts as finally stated by Mr. Tennant we need only add that the"m'e‘s'sage"reached The Times marked Passed for Publication with the usual red-ink stamp, ihowiug that It had been dealt wltli In this country. But up feel bound to express our astonishment that the Gov- sh? ernment. after postponing the answer for a day in order to 57 nake inquiry, should have then given currency to so grave i charge against the honor of The Times and have admit- ed seven hours later. without a word of apology or regret, hai it was entirely unfounded.” On Wednesday iilght, the Prime Minister made the 'ormal aniiouncenient. in the House of Commons that "steps are in contemplation which will involve the recon- struction of the Govemment on a broader personal and oolitlcal basis." Naturally this coup d'ettit on the part of The Times did lot commend itself to many of its competitors and crltlcs,] ind subsequently the Censor was induced to bring a vharge against it that it published an article stating that he French were calling out tlielr last reserves. The l`he Times pleaded that this was no secret and not giving nfurllialioii I0 the enemy Which had already published he fact in its own papers, and the Court dismissed the charge. . As a result of the whole of these incidents The Times 'las proved once more that it is the most powerful organ if public opliiion in the world, still maintaining its repu- ation earned under the great Delaney of being able to .nuke and unmnke Ministries. ______0______ POSSIBLE TROUBLE _ When the European war ends. whoever wins, our Mex- lean policy iii likely to hccoino instantly acute, says (‘ol- |ier's.
