War Minister Opposes
Dropping Bombs on
Foes Cities
Aerial Work Goes On
Allies Far More Active Be-
hind Opposing Lines Now
than Are Their Foes

London. June 26.-No intention Of
yielding to the widespread demand for
reprisals on German towns for the
enemy's air raids on England was
shown in the debate on the subject IN
the House Of Lords to-day. Baron Sy-
denham, former chairman Of the air
board, and the Earl of Derby, Minister
of War, both expressed the opinion
that the country would frown upon such
action.
Baron Montagu, of Beaulieu, one OF
England's best known air authorities,
sharply criticised the entire system OF
defence in London and called for an in
dependent air board under a strong and
single central control. 1t was absolute
humbug, he said, to talk of London
being an undefended town. and he de-
clared the Germans had perfect right
to raid IL.
Lord Strachie raised the question
which brought about the discussion.
Lord Sydenham. the Hrst 20 speak, dep
recated the whole policy Of reprisals.
lie SAID he felt sure in future
years the British would be thankful
thew had not lowered themselves TO the
level Of the Germans Furthermore, It
was not generally realized that bomb
ing reprisals of a military nature were
Of systematic and daily occurrence De-
hind the German lines. lie invited the
government 20 tell the country some
thing about these operations.
In behalf Of the government, the Earl
Of Derby expressed belief that the
whole country would associate itself
with the suggestion that England
should not try to initiate German
brutality. He added, on the au-
thority of the head of the aircraft
service in France, that for every bomb
the Germans dropped behind the Brit
ish lines the British dropped hundred
behind the German lines.
This bombing, he said, had solely
military object, and the government

Mesopotamia Commission
Puts Main Responsibility
on Sir John Nixon
Former Viceroy Scored
Minority Report Accuses Lord
Hardinge and General
Duff of Obstruction

Iondon. juno 26.-The report OF the
Nesorotamia Commission. appointed 10
investigate the responsibility for the
inadequacy of TIE preparations for tha:
exreditior. was issued tonight.
The report fnds that the main re-
sporsibility for recommending an ad-
vance in 1915 with insufficient trans
port and equipment rests with General
Sir John Eccles Nixon, the former com
mander Of the British forces in Meso-
potamia. while the others sharing re-
sponsibility are placed in the following
sequence: In India, Baron Hardinge,
the former Viceroy, and General Sir
Bequchamp Duff, the former com
mander-in-ch Of the British forces
in India, and. in England, Major Cen
eral Sir Edmund Barrow, the Military
Secretary of the India Office; j. Aus
ten Chamberlain, Secretary for India,
and the War Committee Of the Cabinet.
The report finds that the expedition
was a justifable military enterprise,
but contends that it required during
its inception and development the most
careful watching and preparation. The
division of responsibility between the
India Offict in Londca ard the Indian
government, the former undertaking
the policy and the latter its manage
ment, was, the report declares, IN the
circumstances unavoidable. The scope
of the objective of the expedition was
never sufficiently defined in advance
to make each successive move part Of
well thought out and matured plan.
What the Mistakes Cost
The report shows the mistakes and
nscalculations incident TO the attempt
TO advance on Bagdad, which involved
tho surrender OF more than a division
of the finest fighting troops, while the
casualties in the inefctual attempt TO
relieve Kut amounted to about $4,000
men.
The report says that the general ar
mament and equipment were not up 10
the standard OF modern European war
ware and were quite insufficient for
the purpose. Up to the end of 1915
the efforts made 20 rectify the de-
| fciency In river transport were wholly
inadequate. The report concludes:
Looking az the facts, the want OF
foresight and provision for the most
fundamental needs of the expedition
reflects dscredit upon the organizing
aptitude Of all the authorities con-
