A. J. Balfour Replies to Criticisms on
the Governments Work.

LONDON, Jan. 10.-A. ]. Balfour, the
government leader in the House of Com
mons. at luncheon given in Manchester this
afternoon. made a speech in which he re-
pudiated the accusation that he was a
'thick and thin supporter of the War Of
fee"
He declared that even If an angel from
heaven told him 1t was possible in great
war to carry out everything as written out
on paper. he should know that the angel
was dwelling on his imagination. 1t was
not true. he added. that the War Office
had sent the British army into the field
with guns which placed them at hope
less disadvantage with their enemies. He
did not claim that the army system was
perfect. but the critics ought not to ig-

or the present war, between which and
the problems that the continental head
quarters STATS had TO deal, there was no
parallel For the first time in the history
or the world. the country had to meet an
enemy entirely mounted. and it true
that II Great Britain had entered into the
war with a vast number or mounted SOL
diers IL would have long before been con-
concluded. Hereafter Also IL would be
recognized that guns are not as mobile as
horse soldiers and that field artillery must
be made part OF the regular equipment OF
the regular army But seeing that the
British War Office had not Jagged behind
the best military opinion OF the day, il
was ludicrous TO charge 1t with want of
prescience. He was sure justice would be
done In due time TO the administrative
system or the army. The last thing the
government desired was any undue con-
cealment OF unpleasant facts"
