KITCHENER BLAMED
BYLORD CHURCHILL
Calls Minister of War Response.
Bile for Failures.
DEFENDS TWO EXPEDITIONS
Declares DardaneIIes Attack Was
Framed by Experienced Technical
Minds-Sir Markham Also
Hits Kitchener.

London, Nov. 17.-Winston Spencer
Churchill, former first lord OF the Brit
ish admiralty, against whom more Bit
ter criticism has been launched than
any other man in the English govern
ment since the war began, made his
speech OF defense on Monday in the
house of commons.
Mr.. Churchill put full responsibility
for the disastrous Antwerp expedi-
ton upon Lord Kitchener. the secre-
tary of state for war, and the French
government.
The former first lord of the ad-
miralty also denied personal responsi.
bility for the Dardanelles enterprise.
The proposition to send an expedi-
ton to the Dardanelles to open up
the way to Constantinople was pro-
foundly, maturely and deliberately con-
sidered." declared Mr.. Churchill.
1t had been charged that Mr..
Churchill acted too quickly and TOO
much upon his own initiative in send
ing the expeditions to Antwerp and
the Dardanelles.
AS to the Antwerp enterprise. Mr..
Churchill said
The idea of sending a relieving
army to save Antwerp from capture
by the Germans originated with Lord
Kitchener and the French govern
ment. That the expedition arrived
too late to save the Belgian city was
not my fault"
Mr.. Churchill declared that he al
ways consulted the first sea lord Of
the admiralty before making any off,
cial move.
Following Churchilrs sensational
speech Sir Arthur Markham made the
most violent attack on Earl Kitchener
yet heard.
Markham told members of the com
mons he was convinced Kitchener
was responsible for both the Antwerp
ind Dardanelles plumbers" and that
he also was guilty of Withholding in
formation. Il am convinced" added
Sir Arthur. that while Kitchener. who
accepts no advice, remains at the war
Office we will not win this war"
Il think l ought not to leave the
country without referring to certain
incidents at the admiralty in the di-
rection of the war which occurred
during my period at the admiralty.
said Mr. Churchill.
He declared that the Dardanelles
enterprise was framed merely by ex-
perienced technical minds. The at
tack was decided on at a war council
held on January %. at which Lord
Fisher was present.
1t was a legitimate war gamble for
a prize of inestimable value. which
had a reasonable chance of winning
on that basis"
Mr. Churchill declared there was no
reason to be discouraged with the
progress of the war.
We are passing through a bad
time" he said, but it will probably
be worse before it is better"

PRESIDENT DISCUSSES
PLANS WITH CABINET
Talks of Defense and Special Tax Pro-
posals - Additional Revenue Is
Needet ~ Government.

Washington, Nov. 15.-President
Wilson discussed with his cabinet on
Friday the legislative program for the
coming session OF congress and mat
tiers of public policy. 1t is understood
that unanimous approval was given
the presidents suggestions which are
10 be carried In his annual message.
These include:
National defense program for army
and navy
Ship purchase legislation for up
building of the merchant marine
Giving United States industries in
one line authority to have co-opera-
tive selling agencies in foreign coun-
tries.
Conservation legislation to develop
natural resources.
Amendments to federal reserve act
to permit member banks to join in
establishing a foreign bank.
Revenue legislation to meet needs
Of the government.
1t was the gossip during the day
that Mr.. Redfield might leave the
CdblHels ana I0aL MS successor would
be Secretary Houston of the depart
ment of agriculture. Carl vrooman
of Illinois, now assistant, was slated
for secretary of agriculture.
In connection with fiscal legislation
planned it is understood the presi.
dent has agreed with his advisers
that it will be unwise to use any of
the Panama canal bonds remaining
unsold to meet the emergency needs
OF the treasury or to provide funds
for the defense program.
Experts on treasury matters have
pointed out to the president that it
well be necessary next year to get
800, 100000 additional revenues for
the ordinary needs OF the government
Fiscal experts in congress are work
ing now on plans for new legislation
to raise these funds through special
taxes without being forced to reopen
the Underwood tariff for a general in
crease of duties.

PASSES BAD CHECK
COUNTERFEIT MAN OF CLOTH
swINDLEs RACINE WOMAN.
Pretending He Was Arranging Series
Of Religious ReviVals, Stranger
Puts Over Forgery.

Racine.-A man who gave the name
Of Thomas Kelley and posed as an
evangelist went the limit in securing
So by crooked methods from nrs.
Martha Enos. After defrauding the
woman out of the money he knelt
down in prayer in the home, and while
he was rather crude in his praying,
managed TO deceive the members of
the household.
According to the sorry of Mrs. Enos,
the man stated that ne was an evan
gelist and had arranged TO hold re-
ligious meetings for two weeks. He
wished to secure a room for that
length of time and decided to take the
one shown him.
The rent was 50 a week and he
rendered check for $40 in payment
for two weeks. Mrs Enos did not
have Sc TO give him in change and
went out and borrowed enough from
neighbor.
After inquiring what time the fam
lily retired so as to return before the
doors were locked, he knelt down and
offered prayer. Members of the
Enos family took part in the prayer
service and nothing further was
thought of the matter until after the
man had departed. Then they began
to feel suspicious and informed neigh
bors of the occurrence. AS his pray
Ing was rather bunglesome the neigh
bors feared Mrs. Enos had been de-
frauded and was told to inform the
police, witch she did The fellow
failed to return and has not been seen
since.
