!gnth About War NOW Demanded.
London, June 25.-A demand that
the nation be told the truth about
the war" is voiced by the Times. The
paper declares there is no immed-
ate prospect Of compelling the Ger
mans to withdraw within their own
frontiers; that it will take months
to provide the British forces with
the big guns, high explosives and
machine guns necessary.
The country" says the Times,
has got to face the probability of
prolonged and unprogressive cam
paign in the west.
"To put it brief, the allies on both
fronts are being held with no pros
pect of an early change Moreover,
the outlook in the Dardanelles, Of
which the less said the better, long
ago ceased to offer prospects Of
swift and easy diversion in the mid
die east"
(The London Times is one Of Lord
Northcliffe's papers which have wag-
ed an energetic campaign for greater
publicity in connection with the war.
Northclilfe's attacks upon the British
government are credited with being
largely responsible for the formation
OF the new coalition ministry and the
appointment of David Lloyd George
as minister Of munitions.)
