Even well-informed quarters are at loss to know what will be the final outcome of the "revolt” of the junior members of Government, who have been demanding the removal from office of three Cabinet members, namely Mr. Hore- Belisha, Sir Thomas Inskip and Lord Winter- ton.
The political correspondent of the "Daily Mail" says it is now certain that Mr. Chamberlain will re- construct his Cabinet following his visit to Rome.
It is also practically certain
The assault upon the position of Mr. Hore-Belisha is expected to as-that Mr. Robert Hudson, Secretary sume an intensive character, parti- for Overseas Trade, will lose his cularly as his own Under-Secretary post. As some commentators are of State, Lord Strathoona, has putting it, either seniors or juniors threatened to resign
Mr: will have to quit office. Hore-Belisha takes his departure. It is not unlikely that the junior There is talk of Sir Thomas In-ministers may vacate their posts skip being appointed Lord Chancel-before the fate of their seniors in
office is decided.-Trans-Ocean.

London, To-day.
The crisis which seems to be de- veloping in the British Cabinet ad- vanced to a new stage yesterday when the National Liberal Group in Parliament passed a protest resolution against opponents of the Secretary of State for War, Mr. Hore-Belisha, who have asserted that he is incompetent and incapa- ble of conducting the affairs in- cumbent on his office.
Mr. Hore-Belisha later visited the Prime Minister, Mr. Chamber- |lain, and held a lengthy conference with him. No report on the out- come is forthcoming.
Yesterday afternoon, Mr. Cham- berlain visited the King to report to him on the situation.
According to reports, a meeting of the Parliamentary Under-Secre- tary in the War Ministry, Lord Strathcona, and the Parliamentary Under-Secretary in the Ministry of Colonies, Lord Dufferin and Ava, with the Prime Minister has been scheduled for to-day and it is be- lieved that the friction in the Government will be the main topic discussed.
Political circles believe that the question will be decided in the near future but Government quarters maintain strict, silence regarding the situation.
The King will leave London to-day for Sandringham to spend Christ-
with the Royal Family. Trans-Ocean,

SENTENCED AND EXECUTED
Berlin, To-day. Sentenced to death yesterday, Peter Forster who escaped from a German Concentration Camp by killing the guard was executed.
Forster escaped to Czecho- Slovakia and the attempt by the German authorities to extradite him met with no response from the Benes Government. The new Government turned him over, to the German authorities several days ago.
An accomplice who escaped with him was captured several days afterwards and executed-Trans- Ocean.
