Former First Lord of the Admiralty Tells Dundee Au
dience Almost Incredible Additions Will Be Made
to the Fleet for the Special Purpose of War.
Special Corretponilence to Tnr. Buv.
Inih)n, June 5. Winston Churchill,
retiring First Lord of the Admiralty, In
.1 remarkable speech to his constituents
r.t Dundee to-day strongly defended his
conduct of the Admiralty nnd made a
strong plea for combined action on the
part of Englishmen at home to rally to
the support of their brothers on sea and

' he predicted a victory In the Dardanelles,

tofore contemplated.
Mr. Churchill In speaking of the great
volunteer army that lurd Kitchener bus
organized, numbering how more than
3,000,000 men. declared that If Kngllsh
men could do this, more than America
could do In her great civil war. then the
time was far off when Hrltaln would
have to resort to compulsion to reach
tho highest elllclency of her lighting
' forces at homo and abroad.
In concluding his speech Mr. Churchill
paid a stirring tribute to Lord Hnldane,

Ills efforts to
warn other Krltlsh Cabinet members of
tho dangers of that system. "There
never has been a time," said Mr.
Churchill, "when he has not supported
every provision for the defence of this
country, military or naval."
Mr. Churchill's speech, parts of which
have already been cabled to Tin Sun,
follows:
Took the Itlamr.
"I waa sent to the Admiralty In 1911,
after the Agadlr crisis had nearly
brought us Into war, and 1 was sent
with the express duty laid upon me by
the Prime Minister to put the fleet In a
state of Instant and constant readiness
i for war In case we were attacked by
Germany. Since then, for nearly four
years, I have borne the heavy burden of
being, according to the time honored
language of my patent, responsible to
Crown and Parliament for all the busi
ness of the Admiralty, nnd, when I say
responsible, I have been responsible In
I in u real sense, inai i nave nau inc
blame for everything that has gone
wrong. Those years have composed the
most important period In our naval his-
tory, a period of preparation for war.
a period of vigilance and mobilization
and a period of actual war under condl-
tions of which no man had any expe
rlence. I have done my best and the
erchlves of the Admiralty will show In
the utmost detail the part I have played
In all the gre.it transactions that have
taken place. It Is to them I look for
my defence.
"I look also to the general naval situa
tion. The terrible clangers of the be
ginning of the war arc over. The seas
have been swept clear; the submarine
menace has been fixed within definite
limits: the personal ascendency of our
men. the superior quality of our ships
on the high seas have been established
beyond doubt or question i our strength
has greatly increased, actually and reln-
lively, from what It was In the beginning
of the war, and It grows continually
every day by leaps and bounds In all the
clnses of vessels needed for the special
purpose of the war. B tween now and
the end of the year the British navy
will receive reenforcements which wpuld
be Incredible If they were not actual
farts. Everything Is In perfect order.
Nearly everything has been foreseen, all
our supplies, stores, ammunition nnd ap
pliances of every kind, our supplies and
drafts of officers ntul men nil nre there.
Nowhere will you be hindered. Yon

"I have two things to say to you
about the Dardanelles. First, you must
expect losses both by land and sen : hut

shops Is hurrying Into the water. Loises
of ships, therefore, as long as the pre
cious lives of the officers and men nre
saved, as In nearly every case they have
been losses of that kind, I say, may
easily be exaggerated In the minds both
of friend and foe.

out narrowly and carefully considering

mount need of our army In France and

1 not only mistaken, they are presump-
tuous.

on a illlTerent b.isU now, but before I
come to trie new Government and Its
prospects I must ask your leave and
your courtesy to say a few words In Jus
tice to tho old.
Government's t ohlevenien t.
"There was a Government which
sought peace long and faithfully nnd to
tho end, but which, nevertheless, main
tained our naval defence so that all the
neeils and dangers wero provided
against, there was n Government which
plueeil In the Held six times an tniinv

reeoru iih hi future times, when the
wounded world looks buck with Its
searching scrutiny upon all the events
which have led up to this great cntas
trophe, will show to nil time that Britain
was absolutely guiltless of the slightest
stain,
"And before I leave It f would ask
your leave to say n word about a great
friend of mine, well known to you In
Scotland and passed now out of public
life, Lord Italdane. I deeply regret
that he has ceased to fill the great office
which he adorned. No more sincere
patriot has served tho Crown. , There
never has been an occasion In the Cabi
nets of the last seven years In which I
have sat that as the need arose Lord
Italdane has not from his great knowl
edge of the German governmental sys
tem warned us to be on our guard
against the dangerous side of their na
ture. There never h.is been a time when
he has not supported every provision for
the defen;e of this country, military or

"He It was who entered Into those Intri

conclusion, notwithstanding the dim

ported by artillery, made heavy resist
ance. Along the Isonzo front frequent
nlzht alarms from the enemy's
trenches, accompanied by rifle and ar
tillery fire, have been noticed. We did
not respond to these nttacks. The Au
trlans have attempted to recapture
our positions on the left bank or the
Isonzo Itlver by repeated night .at
tacks, seeking to drtve us back to "the
right bank, but they were always re

Special Cable Demtch to Tns Srx
Paris, June 22. The comments of the
French press on the Pope's Interview
published In La Liberie are lets openly
hostile than might be expected under
the circumstances.
The Temps heads It leading editorial
"Spiritual Neutrality." It believes that
the French faithful who await the sooth
ing of their outrnged consciences by
tho Pope's superhuman authority will
be deceived.
"Has not the Pope heard the German
boasts of plentiful food?" It asks.
Then by what subtle proee-ss of rea
soning enn pontifical piety balance Ger
man starvation against the crime of
thn Lusltnnla? French Catholics will
find the Pope's promised syllabus after
the war and his brief for Ixmvaln small
futurn and the triumph of right and
liberty. The too Impartial acceptance
of the German cause by tho Vatican
does not prepare the Church for the
role she should havo In the future."
The Joumnl dr Pebnta declares that
the Pope' humility In refusing to Judge
the crimes of the war runs the risk of
being misunderstood.
"It might even be Interpreted as an
excessive Indulgence for crimes and their
authors." the newspaper says.
'The Allies do not expect the Tope
to take sides In the European struggle,
yet those who revere the Pope as conse
crated to authority are astonished by a
neutrality which cannot distinguish be
tween tho victim of Injustice wnA those
who commit Injustice."

LonpoN, June 22. The Official Press
Bureau Issued to-night a report of the

from the headquarters In the Mediter
ranean by way of Cairo, under date of
June 20. It says In part:
"Between 7 nnd 8 o'clock on the eve
ning of June 19 the Turks expended
some 450 high explosive shells on our
left centre trenches and were seen mass
ing for an attack. The heart of the
enemy failed him and the nttack de
generated Into a fire action.
"At 7:30 o'clock one of our brigades
attacked the Turkish trench but was
unsuccessful. The Turks In a counter
attack effected a lodgment In tho line

"The Turkish prisoners captured state
that their officers expected the bombard
ment with high powered shells would
clear the British out altogether and
were much disappointed thnt so little Im
pression was mnde upon our trenches.
Although the tronches were much dam
axed they were held. The Turkish dead
Is estimated at 300 on the front of one
brigade nnd 1,000 Is a low estimate for
all parte.
"Two Freneh divisions on the right
attacked and were forced back. They
stormed the position but were flrlven
out. When reenforced by the British
they took 00 yards of the enemy's first
line trenches, which they held. The
enemy lost heavily, one battalion being
practically wiped out.
"On Tuesday the second French di
vision stormed and captured all the
Turkish first and second tine trenches
opposite them, Including the Hnrcot re

tinuous fighting a substantial success
