a gradual growing Of discomfort over
the way military events have been
handled, for the public has been fed

grown to distrust official declarations

Throughout all England there hangs
a pail of pessimism. Not so much as
to the final outcome OF the great Eu-
ropean war and the ability of the allies
TO fully conquer the Germanic nations.
but a pessimism bordering on the keenest
of resentment which follows full real
cation that serious biunders endangering
a nations standing in the eyes of the
world have been made
Great Britain now is bitter. Her
newspapers are numerically f1aying the
cabinet for its failure TO act promptly
and effic emily in the near eastern situa-
ton. British statesmen and people are
voicing their anger that the rdanelles
campaign was attempted, one which, it
is openly declared, may cost the support
Of all Balkan nations with the exception
of Serbia. The coalition cabn over
which Premier Asquith presides is
blamed and censured in the broadcast

and Premier Asquith has broken under

Although the present ministerial crisis
in England is blamed upon slow action
in handling military and diplomatic
problems, the CONSUMPTION issue has been
brought to the fore by determined band
headed by Lord Northcliffe and several
members Of the cabinet itself, 1t being
feared that the volunteer system WIN be
the means Of defeating England. II she
ever is defeated. General apathy exists
in recru ting and il is believed that the

The cabinet as whole has been loath
to accept the conscripti on idea.
The absolute necessity of raising
great forces of troops is the problem
which now Is most worrying England
from a military standpoint. The men
of England have had but little to stir
their patriotic fervor. The censor has

over practically the whole of the east

places should be more greatly men,

Field Marshal Won Hindenburg Is hold

such a move is found necessary. The
Russians before Dvinsk. however. are
putting up the strongest kind Of re-

the past three weeks has been snail

Both Russian and German armies are
making elaborate preparations for the
winter. German armies at many sec

stationary until warm weather again

not get too severe and they are forced

BALKAN ARENA.

The world generally IL fastening its
eyes on Serbia, where the compare
lively small Serbian army Is vaiiantiy
resisting the enemy, which Is pressing
from all sides.
VIII the Austro-German armies, es-
timated at 100000 strong. and the Bull
garaan armies Of invasion, estimated at
nearly 100000. be able to crush the
Serbs, once they take their positions
In the mountains to make their final
desperate stand to prevent the two en-
eEnies from forming junction.
This is the question causing grave
concern in the allied capitals, and this
feeling has been heightened by the
Serbian declaration that her forces are
in grave peril. notwithstanding all
natural advantages. and that allied
troops must give assistance II tho In
vaders are repealed.
German Progress Slow.
German progress against the Serbs.
notwithstanding the great prepon-
derance in the number Of troops
operating in this arena, Is slow. Even
Berlin admits this. At tho farthest
point. 1t Is declared. the Germans arc
only twenty miles south of the Dam
ube, while the average gain In about
two weeks lighting has been only ten
miles. This in itself is an illustration
of tho stubborn resistance put up by
the Serbian armies. One fact to be
considered in speculation as to the
final outcome of the campaign against
the Serbs by the Germans. Is the fact
that up to date practically no ground
has been seized by the invaders other
than that expected to be taken at an
carly date. The Germans are meeting
difficult foe. It is a characteristic
Of the Serb to fight to death. once he
has entered battle. and this determined
attitude Is mon;fest in present battle
with Won Mackensen's men. The Serbs
Will fight with clubs. rocks, and even
their fists. after they have lost their
guns when they come in close contact
with the foe. They now realize that
every foot of ground must be contest
ed. and bitterly, too. II the Germans
are held back until reinforcements of
adequate strength can be sent by the
allied nations. They now are living
in the hope that the French and Brit
ish soon will reach their main line to
give assistance.

Whether or not Rumania and Greece
may be persuaded to take the side of the
entente nations in the present great
struggle against the central powers has
been an all-absorbing issue in Petro-
grad, Paris and London during the past
week. With the critical situation for the
Serbian armies admitted, the entente
powers have awakened to the fact that
assistance must be sent at once and
small expeditionary forces will not
