Marquis of LansdoWne Re-
views Situation in Balkan
Theater of War.
GREAT BRITAIN'S MOVES
ARE DECIDED CAREFULLY
Idea of Smaller Cabinet Receives
Support in the House
of Lords.

LONDON, October 2T.-Replying to a
question by Earl Loreburn in the house
of lords as to the progress of the cam
paign in the Balkans, the Marquis of
I.ansdowne, the unionist leader, who holds
a seat in the cabinet without portfolio,
said:
Il must say with great regret 1 am
afraid We must admit that the progress
of the campaign in northern Serbia has
been such as to render it highly i'm
probable that the Serbian army will be
able to withstand for any great length
of time the attacks to which it Is ex-
t,v.sed from the Austro-German forces on
the north, aided by the stab in the back
which Serbia is receiving at the hands
of Bulgaria"
Smaller Cabinet Supported.
While there was no criticism of the
conduct of the near eastern campaign,
there was general demand when the
house of lords met for information, and
the suggestion of smaller cabinet to
have charge of the war received support.
Lord Lansdowne. in his reply, gave a
general review of the Saloniki opera
lions, while Earl CurZon of kedleston,
lord privy seal, made the statement
that Premier Asquith had under con-
Sideration the matter of smaller eX-
ecutive.
Lord Lansdowne explained that the
British force landed at Saloniki, which

the request of Serbia and at the in

Voices Disappointment.
We ere disappointed in the Darda-
nelles enterprise" said Earl Loreburn,
and he added that he did not know
whether that enterprise had COM
Eenced with or without the advice of
the naval and military authorities and
one could not help asking whether this
new venture would be a repetition of
that. The greatest danger by which
this country would suffer, the speaker
said. was unpreparedness and indie
cision.
As to the Saloniki expedition the
Marquis of Lansdowne said:

sions which possess Earl Loreburn.

Of those who have convinced themselves
that Germany had decided to refrain

the report OF the captain and the pas
sengsrs OF the Cunarder Orduna to the
efrec, that "A submarine. without any
warning. fired torpedo AT her wheh
she was thirty-seven miles south oi

The feeling that the submarine issue
with Germany had passed its dangerous
stage. because of the presumed intention
OF GERMANY to avoid attacks Oh the
liners used by Americans, had become
quite general here, The fact ihat the
German Amba ssador was understood TO
have expressed the opinion that Ter
many would not attack any more pas
senrer ships contributed to this hopeful
expectation. though as IA matter OF ta''
IL lacked any Official assurance oi any
kind to support ii,
Reports of the attack on the ordunt'
