NEW YORK, June 25.-(11 a. M
A period Of criticism is developing
among the allies which reveals the
form Of popular disappointment at
the indicisfve progress of the war. In
Germany, too, though military gov
ernment quickly suppresses all COM
ments not favorably regarded by the
authorities, there are growing ind1ca-
tions that triumphal termination OF
the war is beginning to be doubted.
Pessimism is in fact growing into the
dominant International note.
Disbursement has prevailed in
England since the failure of the Anglo
French forces to develop the promised
spring offensive, and since the inabil-
fty of the allies to make progress to-
ward Constantinop1e became increas-
fngly apparent The most recent ex-
preston Of the feeling Of gloom was
uttered in the house OF commons this
week by the Hon. Freddy" Guest.
General French's personal tide and a
member Of parliament. Captain Guest
returned from the front to speak in
the house OF commons In favor OF
Iloyd-George's bill increasing author
ity of the minister of munitions. He
suggested British forces might have
been overwhelmed during the past
six weeks il it had not been for in
describabIe .gal1antry of the French.
While this statement emphasizes
Frances accumulation of ammunition,
the French people are nevertheless
becoming as dissatisfied with the de-
lays of victory as the British. Criti-
cisms of General Joffre have been
audible and the higher command is
being blamed because the Germans
seem to have come to a permanent
rest within French territory. Yester-
day this feeling Of gloom grew voci-
ferrous in the chamber Of deputies
