Albert Donnell made the subject. Christ and the Red Cross, one of absorbing interest to his hearers at the morning service at the Congrega- tional church.

J. T. Wilbur of Glasgo while driv- ing through Slater avenue in his au- tomobile one evening recently, was pe1ted with stones on Factory Hill by crowd of lawless children.

Asquith Defends
Kitchener's Part
In Gallipoli Fiasco
On No Man in History Has
Heavier Burden Been
Cast, Says Ex-Premier

London. March 20.--An energetic de-
fence Of the late Lord Kitchener was
made in the House of Commons to-day
by former Premier Asquith, who re-
piled to the criticisms levelled Mt his
government in the recently published
report of the Dardanelles Commission.
Winston Spencer Churchill defended
himself.
"Lord Kitchener was a mastcrful man
and disposed by nature TO keep his own
counsel" said Mr. .Asquith. "But 1t Is
2 mistake to suggest that he did not
consult military opinion as TO the con-
duct of the war. When war broke out
the General Staff were sent to the
front. Their places were taken by oih-
GERS who had been in retirement. The
best and highest authority at that time
was Lord Kitchener himself. Upon no
man in history mad heavier burden
been cast, and nothing fills me with
greater indignation than the attacks
made on Lord Kitchener whose menu
cry is in no danger and will live;
Mr. Asduith said the Dardanelles eF-
pedition was primarily naval one, be-
cause Lord Kitchener proved TO tne
satisfaction Of the War Council tha'
troops were not available. ne au-
verse view Of Lord Fisher, then FIRST
Sea Lord. was not founded on technical
naval objections. but upon his prefer
ence for a different sphere of opera
tions.
The delay in sending troops. Mr.: AS
ouith continued. was due to the Rus
sian position. then bad. and pressure
brought to bear by both the British
and French commanders IN chief 10
keep their troops in France.
Mr.. Churchill admitted that the com
missioners had swept away many seri-
Gus and reckless charges, and that inc
burden of responsibility which he had
borne alone for the last two years was
now shared with the most eminent men
the country had produced in genera
lions. He therefore welcomed the re-
mort as an instalment of fair play
The decision with regard to the Dar-
danelles, he said. was based on the
plans of experts and the readiness OF
experts to execute those plans.
The suggestion by Sir Marx SYKES
that no good purpose would be served
bv the Dardanelles Commission in con
tinuing its labors was received by the
House with cheers.
