AN UNWIELDY CABINET. NEWSPAPER OPINION. UnITKO PUVM A«800I*T.()5. (Received 10 a.m.) London, May 2. Leading articles and correspondence in British newspapers generally insist on the significance oi' Kut, the rebellion in Dublin, and the .Military Service Bill fiasco coming in a single week, and attribute the disasters tu the unwieldy Cabinet, which should be reduced to a small body of strong men who ought not to be hampered by executive offices. Some opine that non-politicians should be introduced, as the country was distrustful of the Government by a little knot of front-bench politicians who distribute the offices among themselves. A few extremists' tentatively support a Lloyd-George-Carson-Milner Cabinet as an alternative to Asquith's. URGENCY OF COMPULSION. PRESS COMMENT. (Received 10.0 a.m.) London, May 2. The Daily News expects the Government to .waste no,, more time in formulating further proposals. 1 hey should announce that a Compulsion Bill will be introduced this week without any suspensory clause, thus immediately bringing in all the unat* testeds and marrieds. Messrs Henderson, Roberts, and Brace have assented to this policy, which many Laboritt's approve.
