.ASQU|TH ADMITS
MANY BLUNDERS
Call for More Troops BegetS
Severe Arrangement of
War Leaders.

LONDON. Dec. p. - Premier
Asquith made his long expected
statement on the allies military
position in the house OF commons
Tuesday.
His speech brought 10 the front
grave charges against English mill
tary plumbers in the Dardanelies
campaign. The premier admitted
that many mistakes had been made.
He declared that although the Brit
ish lighting forces in the various the
aters now amount TO more than
100000 men the wars demands
were such as necessitated calling out
the empires "recruitable maximum"
Although the premier did not put
himself on record as either for or
against CONSUMPTION. John Redmond,
leader of the Irish nationalists. at
the close of Mr.. Asquith's speech,
flung a bombshell by declaring that
the nationalists would oppose con-
scription by every means in their
power.
Generals Arraigned.
John Dillon followed with a Sc
we're arraignment of the British war
leadership, inquiring:
What is the use of sending out
more troops to be led by men like
those responsible for the Suvla bay
and Anzac failures?"
The premier's statement of the
need of the army for every fit man"
included a warm tribute TO the over
seas soldiers. He took pains 10 men
ton particular the men eager TO be
attested who have made application
from far distant places-Hong Kong,
Rhodesia, California"-adding
This has been a commentary on
the lethargy of some of those here
at home No more splendid exhibit
ton of patriotism and self-denfal
could be conceived or one more
calculated to carry conviction to the
hearts of our gallant allies"
Refers To Derby Scheme.
Referring to the Derby scheme,
Mr.. Asquith said the report from
Lord Derby had only been sent TO
him Monday evening and was now
being considered by the members of
the cabinet. Any statement must be
deferred. He indicated however.
that another chance would be given
those who had not yet responded,
saying:
Those who have been disposed
to hold back may now seize the op-
portunity set them by the mass of
their fellow cOuntrymen."
Turning TO the military situation,
the premier said that the retirement
from the Dardanelles positions
with the notable exception of the
position at the tip of the peninsula
had been taken on the advice of
Gen. MOnro and Lord Kitchener.
Praises Retirement.
The retirement" he continued.
was an operation Of peculiar haz-
ard, for the least misjudgment might
have led TO serious loss. II was car
ried out by the navy and army COM
bined in a manner for which no
praise could be too high and which
will give the services enduring fame
in the annals of warfare.
with the exception of a relatively
small proportion of the stores and
a very few guns which had 10 be left
behind and were destroyed, the
whole force at both places was re-
moved with perfect serenity.
The total casualties-it seems al
most incredible-in the whole opera
.tiOn were two military and two naval
wounded"

Councilman Hagerty started the
agitation for further regulation OF

that a provision be placed in the
parking ordinance setting aside GER

was supported in the effort by sew

finally dropped.
Hagerty advocated setting aside

He asked City Attorney Eli r.

had thought the council had gotten
the jitney bus question "Out of their

To Reduce License.
The committee voted favorably
upon the petition of A. w. McIn-
tosh. proprietor of the automatic
baseball games on s. Michigan St,
who asked that he be placed under
"a different license classification.
There is no ordinance under which
the new game is classed except that
including carnivals and circuses
which provides for an annual fee of
500 which the petitioner claimed
TO be too high The city attorney
was instructed TO draw up an ordi-
nance making the license fee $25
for the first game and $40 for the
second and others, the same as for
billiard tables and bowling alleys.
Whether Jay St will be hereafter
called Fairview St, or Fairfield ST.
is unknown, although the council
approved the ordinance changing
the name. The street which is
short one runs along property be-
longing to a realty company and the
representative was not certain which
OF the names the company wanted.
He promised TO inform the city clerk
before next Monday.
An ordinance providing for the
sale of certain machinery out of use
at the waterworks plant was also
approved by the committee.

E. K. CheSterton Would Revise SociallSm's
MeaninuleSS Speech

If the poor Of one country thought about the
poor of another they would think OF them a.
people of that country. The international SYM
pathy would be national sympathy. and.
therefore, not cosmopolitan one. An English
laborer would not say: The proletarian prob
lem is very acute in Poland" He would say:
Il think it's a great shame the way those poor
Poles are treated" He would not say: The
proetarian programme is hopeful in the de.
partment of the Seine" He would say: I
hope those French strikers will win" He would
not say: The prolstarian victory under the
Prussan electoral system is somewhat unex-
pected." He would say: "Golly: there's some
thing in those German sausages after all.
The working man thinks in terms OF natio1'
atty, being a healthy man. To prefer ones
own habits, home, tastes and memories to
widely different ones; to be surprised, agree.
ably or otherwise. at the sight of widely dit.
ferent ones; to prefer the familiar, even II you
admire the unfamiliar-this is much one OF
the Rights of Man bread itself You will
never get any strong or simple men anywhere
to that man is a voter before they see
that he is Chinaman; or to recognize q man
as a delegate before they recognize him as Q
niger. You will never persuade men close t.
such q reality as manual labor to think only
Of the ticket in mans pocket, and never OF
the hat on his head, or the boots on his feet
or the hair on his face. or the tongue In his
mouth. You certainly cannot do 1t by using
one material metaphor which is manifestly
contrary to the facts and talking about "sol
idarity' as II we were all born stuck together
with glue.
