THE NATIONAL CABINET

A GREAT EXPERIMENT MUCH DEPENDS ON ITS COURAGE London, May 27. The "Times," in a leader, says:— Much depends' on the spirit of individual Ministers. Faced with the new situation, the Cabinet is a tremendous experiment, and we can only trust and believe that its self-saorific©, patriotism. and readiness to sink the small issues which were conspicuous features in its formation will carry it _ safely through the far greater trials which are ahead. The future depends on the courage of the new Government to rise to the greatest opportunity in history. We hopo its watchword will be "nar tional service, in its broadest senso." LORD FISHER AND THE ADMIRALTY. London, May 27. The "Express" states that Lord Fisher has intimated that he will only return to the on terms, namely, the inclusion of his own nominees in the office at tho Admiralty, and his complete and untrammelled control of that Department. Lord Fisher was ordered to return to his post, but did not do so. The public would be wise in withholding judgment on the Dardanelles expedition, which was inevitable. Its first fruits are Italy s two .million troops, while Rumania and Greece tremble ill the balance.
