...cabinet is threatened with disaster. Dissensions on the matter of the new military service law have arisen. M. Lefevre, War Minister, favors a two years service rule, while most of his colleagues think eighteen months sufficient.

During the war he was on trial in the United States Court, for treasonable utterances contained in his pamphlet, "The Great Madness," but was acquitted. He is an accomplished orator and debater, and is at present lecturing in the Rand School of New York City and the Boston School...
