IS THAT
MEANS LIFE OR DEATH
l.ord Charles Beresford Says il’s not
a Question of Days but of Hours
and that Britain Must llave Men
ai llead of Government who
Understand Wa
l'.
LONDON. Oct. 27.-The Times pub-
lishes the following to-day from Lord
Charles Beresfordz-
War requires quick decisions and
prompt actions. Both have been sin-
gularly wanting since the war com-
menced. The policy of walt and see
is fatal to success in war.
Owing to lndecision and vaccllatlon
the Government on every important
occasion has been too late. The
ministers, having no lnitiat.ive of their
own, walt for public opinion to drive
them. At the same time the ministers
withhold from the public information
without which they cannot form a just
opinion.
We did not stand by our friend
Serbia until too late. We neither
stand by our friends nor stand up to
our enemies. We attempted to bribe
Bulgaria by offering her other people’s
property, thereby copying German
methods, We attempted to bribe
Greece by offering her a portion of
our own property. Necessarily we
are humiliated when Greece refuses
to accept it. .
If we continue our present proced-
ure we shall head straight towards
disaster before the latent energy of
the nation is awakened. Recrimina-
tions and deploring the past are not
of mu`ch use at the present moment,
except in so far as they prevent a re-
currence of crass mismanagement.
That mismanagement is partly the
result of strategy and of political
control of the executive. Thousands
of our best men have been lost ashore
and afloat because politicians have
assumed the executive.
The war up to now has been con-
trolled by politicians, not by men who
have studied and understand war.
The Dardanelles expedition produced
the present serious complications in
the east and in the Balkans, which
involves great danger to ourselves.
it opened up the whole eastern ques-
tion when all that was required was
concentration fn the west.
If we are to win the war, certain
matters must be settled at once.
It is not a question of days, but of
hours. We are in a crisis which
means life or death to us.
Why are not drastic measures taken
to secure all the Germans in our midst,
naturallsed and unnaturalised; why
do not we at once commandeer all
German land, money, securities, etc.,
throughout the Empire?
Why _has the defence of London
been neglected? it appears to be ad-
ministered on similar lines to the
censorship, with a divided responsi-
bility, nobody knowing who really is
responsible.
Why have not the government taken
up the question of the rise fn the
prices of food and coal in order to
prevent exorbitant prices being charg-
ed to the poor?
' At this moment the government has
no policy and no objective. The late
attorney-general left the cabinet be-
cause there was no policy. no decision
on any point.
We began the war with two great
assets-the fleet and our wealth. The
second asset is being squandered by
millions without business supervision
or adequate return. We shall be bank-
‘rupt if this goes on.
We blundered before the war and
have been blundering ever since.
What else could- happen when the
war is being managed by politicians,
not by men who understand and have
studied war?
We have a cabinet of twenty-one,
only one of them understands any-
thing of war. We can only beat the
Germans by fighting. 'i-‘alking_ls use-
ess.
There ought to be six or seven men
who understand war, to control the
war and nothing else, on the same
principle as the German general staff.
Three men who show they understand
the gravity of the position-the minis-
ter for war, the minister for munitions
and the late attorney-general should
be among that number.
A frank, careful statement should
be made by the prime minister, sur-
veying the whole war and letting the
people know the truth. Everything
the enemy knows should be told our
own people. We cannot go on as we
are doing without shaping straight for
disaster.

LONDON. Oct. 28.-Outside of a
German official statement, which re-
cords the advance of the Austro-
German forces and the capture by the
Bulgarians of Sejecar Knijevats, both
on the Tlmok river north-east of Nlsh
and the heights of Pirot, almost direct-
ly east of Nlsh, there is little or no
authentic news of the invasion of
Serbia. There are reports, however,
that the Serhians have recaptured
Uskup. which is not improbable if, as
Salonlkf despatches report, the French
now hold the line to Krlvolak, Rado-
visk and Strumitza, for with the army
there and the Serhians at Veles.
Uskup would form a dangerous sali-
ent. For the moment the danger spot
for the Serhians is the north-east
corner, where they are being attacked
from three sides and must eventually
fall back toward the southwest. Thus

PARIS, Oct. 27.-The moment is
long overdue, says Gabriel Honotaux,
the famous French diplomat and his-
torian, when the tone and methods of
the Allies’ diplomacy must be radic-
ally changed. The world must be
brought to realise that the enemy is
asking us to make peace and we are
refusing it because we want our own
peace ln our own time.
lf the world knew all we know, if
lt realised all we can do, our diplomats
would no longer be confronted with
disdainful suspicion and the chilling
looks of the marble or wooden faces
that surround us.
The day of good intentions and
flabby negation is done. Henceforth
we must have statesmen worthy of
France at its head. If intrigue, pusll-
lanimity and powerlessness deprive
the country of strong rulers, the coun-
try wlll know how to act to obtain
them.
While our army has done magnifi-
cently and is the admiration of tho
world. our diplomacy. weighted by the
hesftations of our Allies, has faltered
in the wake of events. it has lacked
foresight, initiative and ideas.
Even working defensively it has
obtained no results. For instance
what has it obtained from the United
States, Spain. Holland or Sweden?
It has failed to foresee the inten-
tions of Turkey, Bulgaria, Greece and
itoumanla.

propaganda has been non-existent or
ineffective. lt has discouraged all
friendly advances. It has obtained
only a sterile crop of checks.
While from a military viewpoint
things have been going better daily,
Ithey have been going continually

facts.

Captain Ellis Ashmead-Bartlett, the
British press representative in that
campaign, said that although the
Allies were firmly established .fn the
Dnrdaneiles, he did not think there
was any chalice of a further advance.
"The Turks are too numerous and
skilful," said Capt. Ashmead-Bartlett.
“Despite their losses there are now
not less than 800000 Turks under

PEABODY, Mass., Oct. 28.--A fire

Parochial School to-day, burning or
driving to death. in the panic that
followed the alarm, probably thirty
of the 600 boys and girls, who a few
minutes before had assembled for
their daily lessons.
An hour later, twelve bodies had
been removed from the vestibule,
where the jam of terrified little ones
had resulted in the greatest loss of
life.
The police had estimated the dead
as high as fifty. Many others were
injured in their flight down the stair-
ways and a few jumped from the
windows of the third floor.
Tile students, who ranged in years
from seven to thirteen, were in charge
of sixteen sisters. When the fire
broke out the sisters marshulled their
charges as for a ilre drill and started
them from the building. '1‘he proces-
