ATTACKS
SPEECH BY PREMIER
ON EARLY MISTAKES

London, Nov. .13.-Indications of an
approaching bitter attack on David
Lloyd George as premier, because of
what he termed his brutal frank"
speech is Paris yesterday, became evil
dent today.
Former Premier Asquith, plainly
greatly excited, demanded in commons
this afternoon when the premier would
make statement explaining his very
grave" speech.
This Is the first time Asquith has
taken a position apparently hostile OF
critical of Lloyd George since As
quith was retired as prime minister
Lord Northchffe one of Lloyd
Georges strongest supporters in the
past, arrived back in England only
yesterday.
The press today generally criticized
the utterances Of Lloyd George, led by
the Northcliffe press.
Asquith's demand was greeted with
cheers in commons. 1t was apparent
that bitter debate will follow in which
Lloyd George will probably be forced
to fight desperately to maintain the
position he has taken as regards the
joint allied council
