GENERAL WAR STAFF
SOUGHT BY BRITAIN
Newspapers Say England Is Re
lying Too Much Upon Earl
Kitchener.

London. Nov. 1.--Simultaneously
with the newspaper demands for a
smaller cabinet which apparently re-
suited in Permier Asquith's adopting
as a compromise the constitution in de-
finite form of an inner war council,
there has arisen in various influential
quarters an advocacy of creation of a
general staff on the German plan.
The Weekly Nation, in an article on
this subject says it believes the lack of
such a body has been responsible for
all the graver errors of the war. 1t
points out that the German general
staff is placed ave above the greater
commands in the fighting armies and
is in a word the brains of the German
army.
The Nation adds that such a staff
was suggested by Lord Haldane, for
mer minister of war, after conferences
with the ablest heads in the army, but
that unfortunately on the outbreak of
the war, Earl Kitchener dissipated and
destroyed it and from that moment the
government relied on the single initia-
tive Of kitchener"
The Nation Concludes by stating that
it is high time to reconstitute the gen
eral staff mot as a makeshift, but as
an established center of the great
thought that the army and navy can
command"

LINER HESPER|AN
SUNK BY TORPEDO
Naval Experts Say Fragment of
Metal Found in Hull Was
Part of German
Missile.

Washington, Nov. Secretary
Lansing announced today that the navy
department had definitely established
the fact that the fragment of the en-
CINE Of war which sank the Allan
liner, Hesperian, was a part of a tor
pedo.
The German government has per
sistently denied that the Hesperian
was torpedoed. In the opinion of uni
ted States naval experts, the fragment
could not have been a part of a ma
rine mine.
Secretary Lansing said the result of
the navy departments investigation
would be Immediately communicated
either to the German government di-
rectly or to Ambassador Bernstorff,
Plans Not Known.
The secretary volunteered no infor-
nation regarding what form the COM
munication to the German government
might take. Germany has made to the
United States disclaimer of RESPONSE
bility for the sinking of the Hesperian.
In a note to Ambassador Gerard on
September Id, the foreign office said
that on the face of the evidence then
at hand Germany was satisfied that the
Hesperlan was not sunk by a German
submarine.
The fragment of metal examined by
the navy department experts was said
to have been picked from the deck OF
the Hesperian after the explosion. The
Hesperian sank early in September off
the Irish coast while making her way
to port after having been disabled by
the explosion. The fragment wa sem
