of the Speakers.
BY AssoCTATED pREss

London, Nov. 8.-Debate on the

situation.
He wanted to know If proper ar
rangements had been made to make
the Saloniki landing a success and
criticized the delay in aiding Serbia.
He declared he had been informed
that fifteen million men had been
killed or disabled in this war, and If
the conflict continued indefinitely
revolution or anarchy would ensue in
Europe.
Viscount Miller blamed the censors
for doctoring the news to make it
optimistic.
The Marquis Of Lansdowne defend
ing the governments declared that il
was not from any lack Of cafeA1e
study that the government had found
itself disappointed if the Balkan sit
uation. The Balkan policy was found
ed upon the hope that the Balkan
states would - each other, but old
jealousies prevented this.
The earl of Curzon referring to
the censorship said the government
was endeavoring arrange to create a
closer contact between the press and
the fighting forces and give the pa
pers more news.

1t is the second, third, fourth, fifth
and sixth verses of Chapter SO:
"'2. Son Of man speak to the chill
dren of thy people, and say unto
them, when I bring the sword upon
a land, If the people of the land take
man OF their coasts and set him for
their Waterman
"'3. If, when he seeth the sword
come upon the land he blow the
trumpet and warn the people,
"4. Then who soever heareth the
sound of the trumpet and taketh not
warning, II the sword come, and take
him away, his blood shall be upon
his own head
"'5. He heard the sound Of the
trumpet, and took not warning, his
blood shall be upon him; but he that
taketh warning shall deliver his sSuI.
"'6. But If the Waterman seeth
the sword come and blow not the
trumpet, and the people be not
warned; If the sword come, and take
any person from among them, he is
taken away in his iniquity; but his
blood 1 will require at the watch
mans hand"

Cannot Support the

Washington, Nov. S.-Representa-
tive Claude Kitchin, Democratic lead
er of the house, told President Wilson
today after long, conference with
him that he could not support the adj
ministration's program for national
defense and that he would oppose the

and not as majority leader.
Mr.. Kitchin was with the president
more than an hour during which Mr..
Wilson outlined to him the army and
navy plans for the next session and
for the next five years and sought to
influence the majority leader to be in
harmony with them. Mr.. Kitchin
stated his views frankly directing his
opposition chiefly to the naval pro-
gram.
Cali I can say" said Representative
Kitchin as he left the White House,
"is that very much regret that

meet with my convictions, particularly
with reference to the navy"

for opposition to the naval program.

AMERICAN NOTE rs POLITE
BUT HARD IN SUBSTANCE

Manchester, Eng, Nov. S.-The
American note to Great Britain is
polite but hard in substance in the
opinion, of the Guardian, which says:
aWe must not let preoccupations
prevent us from trying to understand
the United States viewpoint. AL
though we shall be unable to concede
It's contentious, much will depend
upon the spirit in which it is dealt
with officially, privately and publicly
Let none forget that the cordial
friendship of the United States will
not be a luxury, but necessity OF
British policy when the war is over
Pointing out that the rules for
blockades were made before railroads
were built and that lawyers and dip
lomats always have forgotten the
railroads when revising the rules, the
Guardian contends railroads have
made Holland. Denmark and Norway
q part Of Germany and that if there
were no interference with the transit
Of goods through these neutral coun-
tries, then Germany could not be
blockaded.
sTn effect" the Guardian continues
"The American arguments If they
were accepted as they stand, would
abolish the commercial blockade Of
any continental power. Only islands
which have neutral side doors, OF
could be blockaded commercially.
"Does the United States question
the right Of interference with Ger.
man trade imported through neutral
ports? If their answer is yes, Their
our answer must be one Of resistance
to a view Of law which would work
out very unjustly to us as an island
country and which America did moi
recognize when sh was at war. The
only concession we could make or
principle would be to agree to dis.
cuss the whole question with the
United States at the end Of the wal
when the time came to re-write the
entire law of naval capture.
eff, on the other hand, the United
States does not assert this principle
then the matter between us is one
rather of detail than of principle. II
