the big problems OF the war and warning
It that II it did not mend it's ways at
once the United States would take

paign has caused a sensation here.
Col. f.. VI. House, head OF the Amer
ican mission. who was quoted yesterday

cerning the temper of the American

rulers have muddled the war This
newspaper declares the letter, while ad-
dressed to the Prime Minister, is in
truth written to the nation. and adds
III we do not heed it We shall deserve
any fate that may befall us
The P0H NnH gazette says: 1.-The
present Goveynment has been almost a
year in office, and 1t would not he toe
soon for the Premier to see whether i,
cannot be revised in the interests OF
greater energy and clearer perception OF
what is meant by war"
The Westminster Gazette says
"Other distinguished men have felt like
this. but none Of them hitherto has en-
pressed his sentiments in this blunt
Nernacular or made refusal of such high
office the occasion for lecturing the
Prime Minister on the shortening OF
his administration Those who
make others scapegoats are always il
fear of being made scapcgoats them
