The Origin Of Fires

An arson trust in Omaha, whose

now by Fire Warden Morris.

TONS"
The trail of the fre-bugs, it is un-
derstood, leads close to the 100000
fire which devastated the Berg and
Hartman properties in the Continental
building at the northwest corner OF
Fifteenth and Douglas streets a
month ago. The fire warden's sus-
picions have been focused on NOV
ing picture theater which has recently
been ahre twice. The smell Of gaso-
line and some empty gasoline con-
tanners were found in the theater after
the last fire.
Fire Warden Morris does not at
tempt to impute motives to the mem
bers OF the arson gang. He admits
that he does not know as yet whether
revenge or connivance with others
actuated the frc-bugs. But he is busily
pushing his probe and is working TO
establish the guilt or innocence Of
suspected persons.

Asaxh Defends Kitchener's
an ass'sx = Part in Dardanelles Blunder

Kitchener whose memory is in no
danger and will live"
Mr. Asquith said the Dardenellcs cx-
petition was primarily naval one,
because Lord Kitchener proved to
the satisfaction of the war council
that the resources to make it a Joint
military and naval undertaking were
not available. The war council spent
three weeks in examining the country's
available resources i'll men and in OBJ
tanning opinions of experts. British
and French naval expert opinion iav-
ored the enterprise. The adverse
view of Lord Fisher, then first sea
lord, was not founded on technical
naval objections. but upon his pref
erence for a different objective in a
totally different sphere OF operations.
The delay in sendi.. troops, Mr..
Asquith continued, was due to the
Russian position, which was then bad
and pressure was brought to bear
by both the British and French COM
manders in chiefs to keep their troops
in France.
Mr.. Asquith asserted the Darda-
nelles operations had saved the sit
uation in the Caucacus, prevented
for months the detection OF Bulgaria
to the central powers, kept 100000
Turks modified, destroyed some of
the finest troops in the Turks army
and contributed to the favorable re-
suits witnessed in Egypt, Mesop-

HE DID NOT sHUN ADVICE

defense of the late Lord Kitchener
was made in the House OF Commons
today by former Premier Asquith,
who replied to the criticisms leveled
at his government in the recently
published report OF the Dardanelles
commission.
Lord Kitchener was a masteriul
man, endowed with formidable per-
sonality and disposed by nature to
keep his own counsel" said Mr..
Asquth. But it is a mistake to sug-
gest that he lived in isolation and did
not consult military opinion as to
the conduct of the war. That is un-
true. but it is true that during the
early months of the war he acted as
his own chief of staff
When the war broke out members
of the general staff were sent to the
front, Their places were taken by
officers who had been in retirement.
The best and highest authority at
that tine was Lord Kitchener, himself.

ton than the attack made on Lord
