tion government was formed.
The last week has seen steady growth
OF the newspaper attacks on the govern

the slowness. the lack OF foresight and

David Lloyd George is the only candi-
date advanced for succession. He com
manded Lord Northcllffe's support some
time ago in his speech charging the gov

Speculation over the attack on the en-

papers credit the central powers with
plan to bear down on Saloniki from thre'
sides, the Germans forming the cen

various reports on the situation in tn,
