New York Sun The attack -upon David Lloyd George by Alfred G. Gardiner, editor of the London Daily News, is appar- ently the beginning of a deliberate campaign to drive the Minister of Munitions from the Cabinet, "The country," says Mr. Gardiner, the most brilliant and aggressive journalist in England, "has made its choice be- tween Asquith and vou. It heard much about Asquith from your friends of the press, You escaped insult, You will escape exposure no longer." The Minister's "friends of the press" Mr. Gardiner has in mind are Lord Northcliffe and his allies, who have shaken the Cabinet more than once and have had a good deal to do with rousing England from her lethargy and reforming the ad- ministration of the War Office. Mr. Asquith's supporters may criti- cise the methods of Lord Northcliffe, but it cannot be denied that his agi- tation has resulted in a more vigor- y : , Dress, FROM FRONT WITH A SHRAP. London Chronicle. > ! On alcoholic drink we have been in the habit of spending over £150, 000,000 a year. This does nothing to maintain our efliciency. In the vast majority of cases it injures health and character, But if it is the men who spend most on drink, their wives, daugh- ters, sisters, sweethearts, have their own foible -- clothes! It seems as if we spend between four and five humMired million pounds a year on' dress. Look at the costly circulars which the big drapers pour into ail well-to-do households by every post, tempting us to buy the newest pat- terns in 50 guinea furs, night gowns in "crepe de chene, French knots and finished ribbons"; combinations, "trimmed with valenclennes lace and Insgrtion, fine embroidery motifs with ribbon beading at waist, hand made"; monstrous high-heeled boots, cramping our toes, contortions called hats; coats and skirts rushing from the extreme of constrictions to an embarrassing fullness, just to warrant our purchasing a new outfit every few months. We women must sternly say to ourselves in this national emergency that, whether rich or poor, we will not spend an- other penny on dress beyond what is imperatively required for warmth or cleanliness, After dress, comes servants. We are monopolising the time of over a million men and women 'in the army of domestic servants. that we employ. These must cost us, in food and wa- ges, between sixty and seventy mil- lion pounds a year. In so far as they are tending young children or the infirm, they are necessary. This does not justify the households in which there are actually more. ser- vants than people to be waited on-- even three or four times as many be- low stairs as in the drawing room. Let us shut up our superflious rooms, put away the multitude of things that need dusting and polish- ing, simplify our meals, wait on our- selves; and thus set free several hun- dred thousand additional workers. Then there is the wild rush of all classes after vacant-minded amuse- ment. Millions of pounds are still being spent 'on perpetually recurring visits to cinema shows. The music- halls and theatres, Sunday excur- sions, holidays at the seaside, trips by motor ear, week-end golf, and costly meals at restaurants are ab- «orbing an alarming proportion of our income, There is something very disgust- ing in these revels at a time when, for us, men are being slaughtergd by thousands, and women work night and day in the exhausting toil of the shell factory. The customers of these hotels, restaurants and public amusements are taking up the time and energy of something like a 'mil- lion men and women -- the men and ous prosecution of the war. Mr. Lloyd George has been in the van of | it. He has done wonders with the| munitions factories.

PETTY CRITICISM. Mr. Asquith's Salary a Trouble to Some People--Why Should It? Everyman 2 The result of the parliamentary debate on the salaries of M. P.'s is distinctly disappointing. The Gov- salary where two were being drawn. This was characterized as mean by Sir Edward" Carson. The: House agreed with him, and £40,000 which the Government proposed to save is still to be paid to members. After this, surely there will be no fdrther demand that Ministers should be con- tent with reduced salaries. If you agree to pay two salaries where one only is earned, it would scarcely be logical to object to pay one salary when that is more than earned. Min- isters have never had to work as hard as they do to-day. You read of Mr. Asquith arriving at Charing Cross from the Malian front at 4 a.m., holding a Cabinet Council eight hours later, and then attending the House. That is not bad for a man of sixty-fouf; and so far from having his salary reduced he is entitled to payment for overtime. Five thou sand pounds a year to the holder of the -mightiest. post in the world is scarcely excessive. Many a trader makes more in ordinary times, and now tliey are becoming millionaires. According to the press of last week, there are three Mr. Singers each drawing £150,000 a year from sew- ing-machines, and by some Mr. As- quith is grudged his thirtieth part of this. for presiding over the greatest empire of all times at the most criti- I ------ Davies' Davies' Tea Now Selling at 33¢ Pound : summer oottage at Brophy's Point | early in May. | spent Friday in town.
