LONDON. Aug. 15.-The Daily Mats
correspondent at Petrograd telegraphs
tina the criticism against Great Britain
In Russia is becoming SO general that
the British Ambassador, Sir George
Buchanan. found 1t advisable to-day to
receive newspaper men while on a short
visit to Moscow and explain to them the
situation in the west. For many weeks
all classes of people In Russia have been
asking why Great Britain did not act In
the west. Recently the criticism has De-
come more bitter.
The Ambassador admitted that II was
quite natural for the Russians to ask
why the Allies in the west have not done
more. but explained that at the same
time inquiry should be made into the
possible injury to Russia II the Allies
should begin a great advance In the west
before being certain OF their ability 10
push through to the end.
Many people have been astonished.
he said, that the French and British
| armies have not undertaken the decisive
movement tina has been expected Tor
so long. The whole matter, however.
he explained, is one OF Ammunition
and runs.
"Only thase who have seen the Ger
man defensive works or detailed photo

estimate their strength. Furthermore
IL II n mistake 10 SUPPOSE that the
enemy has greatly decreased his forces
IN the west. The reenforcements sent
10 Russia were mostly new levies, stiff
fened by troops from France and Flan-
ders. whose places were straightway
filled up"
Respecting the Dardanelles operations.
Sir George Buchanan made some inter-
csting disclosures. He said that when
Turkey declared wal Russia appealed
To Great Britain TO make a demonstra-
ton In some quarter that would draw
OF a portion Of the Turkish forces in
the Caucasus. 1t was with this pur-
pose in mind and with the object -.
opening the D~ardanelles I'm order to al
low Russia to export grain n to re-
ceive supplies that Great Britain
sent a large number of troops and a
great quantity of munitions TO the Gal
lipoli Peninsula. This campaign. he
explained, had greatly weakened the
British forces In the west n had CON-
PEELED them to delay their advance.
The statement was sympathetically re-
ceived On the whole. says the corre-
spondent,
The Noroc Iromyd. "A semi-Oficial
organ OF ~Petrograd. approves OF Sir
George ~Buchanans remarks, and SAWS
that II Great Britain had done nothing
more than use 80" navy to prevent the
German fleet from meracing Petrogrld

patiently until mobilization of NUM-
tions in Great Britain permits o. a de-

TEXT OF NOTE IN REPLY TO AUSTRLA'S
PROTEST AGAINST SHIPMENT OF ARMS
POINTS MADE ny U. s. NOTE

The reply OF the United states TO
Austto's protest against the ship
ment Of ,oar munitions points out,
among other things:
That both Austria and Germany
during the Boer war made a practice
of shipping munitions to Great Brit
ain under conditions similar to those
which they now protest against.
That the prohibition Of the sales OF
munitions by neutral powers to bel
ligerents would compel every nation
to have In readiness at all times suf-
ficient munitions to last them
throughout any war In which they
might be engaged.
That sue a policy would force
world militarism and work against
the cause of universal peace.
That without the right to purchase
munitions from other nations the
United States would be seriously em-
barrassed In the event OF being
drawn INTO war.

A large number of Irishmen left Eng
land and Scotland on Saturday to evade
Sundays registration and went to ports
OF ireland where the act does not apply.
A majority OF these apparently were
laborers who annually come to England
to help In the hnrvests. Other were
residents OF Glasgow. Liverpool and other
big northwestern towns.
Big crowds watched hundreds depart
Ing from Greenock and hooted and
shouted. "Cowards. I hope you'll be sub
marined.' Some of them were handled
pretty roughly by the crowds. Where
possible the assailants were arrested.
Many persons who believe that the
national register will lead inevitably TO
compulsory service and believe that II Ia
best TO go before they're pushed" have
enlisted during this week end. II seems.
too. that the registration act has has

"a Peace Time Fad"

The article charges that the entire

cocted purely to enable the Government
to shirk or postpone its duty of impos-
ing compulsory service. The writer, who
is a regular contributor to the paper.
declares that the Government has made
tha- Register masquerade as a war meas
ure. while II is in fact precisely the
reverse. Merely a peace time fad.

"decked out afresh as an evasion OF
compulsory service"
1T enormously complexities the i'm
perative issue" he continues. Three
fourths OF it's work Is wasted work. The
whole thing Is n sham"
The Coalition Government is accused OF
lacking In. courage and cl.srne>s OF
foresight and purpose necessary at such
a crisis In the country's history. 1t Is
entirely destitute OF the faculty OF lead
ership, the writer says.
The Daily Maj gives prominence TO a
manifesto of the promoters Of the move
ment for national military service. The
document is used as n preteXt for the
editorial declaration that national milf
tary service Is extremely urgent and
that II must be followed out in order TO
organize effectively the efforts TO prose-
ute the war effectively.

LONDON. Aug. IS (Monday) Lord
Northcline opened his campaign for con-
scrlption by an article in his paper, the
Daily Mail, this morning violently as
sailing the national registration scheme
as a sham, planned by the coalition gov
ernment to avert compulsory service.
Lord Northcliffe intends to make the
question of CONSUMPTION a national issue.
His opponents. those who do not be-
lieye transcription either necessary or
desirable, make the charge that he Is
not sincere In his protestations. that his
rca' aim is to bring about the downfall
OF the coalition Cabinet and the entry
into power OF a Ministry pledged TO In
troduce compulsory service.
