LONDON. oct. ls.-The Daily Mail ac-
cuses the Cabinet of daily ou%trageously
hoodwinking the public and Of u p
pressing the truth about the war.
Things have gon so far says the
paper, that some cabinet members are
now afraid TO let the truth be known.
We say plainly. and a X the RESPONSE
bility for saying II. that 1t Is not true.
~ every German o and every Turk
knows. that we have won n great VIC
tory at the Dardanelles. II is not true
that the Germans IA shot their last
bolt in Russia. II is not true that there
is any evidence of decline in the Turkish
morale!
W. are convinced that II only a por-
ton of the truth were known to the pub
lie there would be "A thoroughly Brit
ish uprising In favor OF voluntary or
any other form OF national service.
1.-THE British will rally round any man
or group of men In whom they have
confidence. They can have no confi-
dence. however. in those who are hiding
the facts. IL the Government continues
to do that We believe that when the
people know the extent to which they
have been duped and deceived by TWEEN
ty-two politicians who are supposed to
lead Us a violent cataclysm will surely
arise, for which English history has had
no precedent for $50 years"
The Manchester Guardian. one of the
most influential Liberal newspapers in
the country. demands that the country
DO told frankly the position with regard
TO tho war.
" have too much reason Gays this
paper, Ito believe that many disagree
able facts are being kept back. The
pontifical superiority to Parliament
which Is being assumed by the Govern
ment and the intense cloud of secrecy
In which 1t has yelled the conduct of
the war "A injured and are injuring
the vital interests of the country.
More caRdor, more discussion In Par.
lament and more control by Parliament
are needed If new life is to be breathed
into the conduct OF the war;
The Express editorlally voices alarm
over the prospect OF disruption in the
Cabine, on the question of CONSUMPTION.
Although a strong advocate of compul-
sorry service, the paper nevertheless re-
CARDS IL of minor Importance as COM
pared with other questions facing the
Cabinet. Thu Express pleads spiritedly
Tor unity, saying
The cabinet is face to face with a
military situation of the gravest char
acter, Upon its decision may rest the
whole future OF the empire. At such a
lime the CABINET should not be torn by
dissension and threatened disruption.
Every moment of its time should be
devoted TO the great decision that brooks
40 delay. Compulsory service has had
10 wait many weeks. Can it not wait
now until the nations leaders have made
a final and irrevocable decision on the
creates point? lndecision and dissension
on the vital question will soon render
compulsion or the voluntary system
equally impotent."
Whatever the difference among the
Ministers may have been on the issue
Of CONSUMPTION. present Indications are
that they have been sunk pending the
result of Lord Derby's new system. to
which all parties seem to be inclined to
give a fair chance.
The Times, one Of the p%rotagon!sts OF
compulsory service, say that Lord
Derby's scheme offers IA better prospect
than ever before and that the whole ma
lion will be modified for the vital busi-
ness It has at hand. The paper adds
that Lord Derby has gone about the
work in the right way and along the
right plan. He promises 10 give n true
system Of national service az far as such
Is possible without any legal obligation
TO serve.
That legal obligation can always be
added IL necessary. n there seems to
DE little doubt that the Minister'S will
frankly introduce the compulsory sys-
