LOOKS TO CABINET MEN

Iopdon. Nov. 3.-Premier Asquith's
admission that serious errors had been
made by Great Britain in its conduct
of the war met with mingled praise
and criticism in the English papers TO-
day- They were united. however. in
declaring that the war must be prose-
cuted to a successful conclusion.
The general opinion rs expressed in
IIondon was that the premier'ss an
nouncemeut that small war commit
tee" of the cabinet would have control
of operations hereafter presaEed
change Cor the better. IL rs understood
that this war committee will consist OF
the premier. Lord Kitchener Loro OF
the Admiralty Balfour. Minister OF Mu-
nItions Lloyd-George. and Chancellor
OF the EXcneQUer Mckenna.
Government Found Wanting.
Initiative and energy on the part OF
the government have been conspicu-
ousIy lacking" says the Times in the
following editorial:
The situation. as Premier AsQuith
said. calls for perspective. patience.
and courage. We agree with this. And
we also believe that all these qualities
are being shown by the nation. but
there are other qualities no less neces-
sary for which the nation looks to its
rulers. They are foresight. initiative
and energy. and they have been con-
spicuously lacking in the past. In tho
future the war will continue to depend
upon them at least as much as upon
any qualities of the rank and file"
Asauith Is Praised.
The Daily News praises the prem
ier's frankness. saying:
ITO the overwhelming majority OF
the nation the premier's speech will
be welcome. both for its candor and
sanity. The prime minister did not
slur over any failure. but he did keep
our failures in just perspective and
true relation with the vastness of our
achievements triumphant navy, the
raising of an unprecedented army. the
financial support we have given our
allies and the industrial activity upon
which the allies cause will ultimately
depend. Mr.. Asquith declined to
apologize either for the government or
country and the general verdict will
be that no apology. is called for.
Premier Asquith was praised by the
Telegraph.
Mistakes and miscalculations un-
doubleday occurred and the premier
did not attempt to discount them. No
war in history has been free of them.
The policy of our enemies is full Of
them. The nation, We believe, is lit
tie inclined to lend an ear to the
acrimonious disputation. 1t wants to
see the war pushed on with all
energy. The nation lays to its heart
the counsel given by King George in
his farewell order to the armies in
France: Keep the goal in sight and
remember the final lap wins"
