GOVERNMENT UNDER FIRE
Liberal Members of Commons At
tack Conduct of War.

London, July 90 Several bitter at
tacks upon the Government for It's
conduct of the war were made by
Liberal members in the House OF
Commons yesterday when Premier
Asquith's motion to adjourn Parlia-
ment until September ID was under
debate. The motion prevailed and
Parliament will be adjourned from
July 20 to September ID.
Sir Henry Dalziel, Liberal member
for Kirkcaldyburghs, in moving an
amendment that adjournment should
be only for four weeks, explained that
he did this because he was not salts
fed with the situation in Flanders,
where it had been understood there
was to be great advance during the
spring and summer, and in the OAR
danelles.
Sir Henry said he coved keep 81
lence no longer, as he had not the con
fidence in the Government that he had
nine months ago. He could not un'
derstand why the industries of the
country had not been modified and
he wanted to know whether anyone
at the War Office had been cashlerec
for the failure to supply sufficient
munitions.
Sir Arthur Markham, who second
ed the amendment, said the public has
lost all confidence in the War ofhce
which, he declared, had proved mis-
erably inefficient in its conduct OF the
war.
