The tiovernnient Is being strongly urged not to wail to eo what line of action Greece will take or the number of men Italy may send tu the assistance of Serbia, but tn throw into the tight at once all available forces ere It 1h too late. Apparently the public outcry hus ha I aome effect upon the Covernnient. but if the Salontca expedition should prove n failure there Is certain to be trouble. If Premier Asqutth and hie colleagu. are to regain their former popularity . the expedition to Serbia will have to be an unqualified success. Otherwise the agitation for it committee of public j safety or a war council composed of i live or seven men In whom the nation can trust will break out witn iw-eteeu vigor, old party difference will be swept awav and the politician who ll now ill i crxditcd will be the leader. SAY PUBLIC 18 DVPED. Baalish I'aprri lleclare Brltala Mistrusts It l.nvernnient. special tattle ftrsptitch to Tne Sr v London, i ict. IS, The Daily Mail ac cuses the i.iblnet of "daily outrageously hoodwinking the public" and of sup pressing the truth about the war. "Thing have gone mo far." says the paper, "that eonie. I'ublnet members are now afraid to let the truth be known. We say plainly, and take the responsi bility for saying It, that It Is not true, a every Herman knows and every Turk knows, that we have won a great vic tory at the Dardanelles. It Is not true that the Hermans have shot their last bolt In Ktissia. It Is nnt true that there is any evidence of decline In the Turkish mo ale ! "Wo ate convinced that If only a por tion of the truth were known to the pub lic there would be a thoroughly Hrlt tsh uprising In favor of voluntary or any other form of national service. Tht British will rally round any man or group of men in whom they have nonfldence. They can huve no confi dence, however, in those who are hiding tha facts. If the I lovornnient continues to do that we beiieve that when the people know the extent to which they have be' n duped and deceived by twon-ty-two politicians who are supposed to ad mt a violent cataclysm will survly arise, for which liiglish history has haJ no precedent for HoO years.'" The Manchester tiunrdinn. one of the most influential liberal newspaper In tha country, demands that the country bo told frankly the position with regard to the war. "We have too much reason." says this paper, "to believe that many d'.sugr. e able facts are being kept back. The pontifical BUPtlioHty to Parliament Which is being assumed by the ilovern mont and the Intent cloud of secrecy in which It has velkl the conduct of the war have Injuied and ure Injuring the vital Interests of the country. "More Candor, more discussion In Par liament and more control by Parliament ire need d if new life is to be breathed into the conduct of the war." The Kiunss editorially volOM alarm over the proa pact of disruption in tha Cabinet on the question of conscription. Altuough a strong advocate of compul sory service, tie paper nevertheless r -ganis it of minor importance as com pared with other questions facing tic Cabinet. Tin JfaprtM pleads spiritedly for unity, sayings "The Cabinet is face to face with a military situation of the gravest char acter. I'pon its decision may rest the whole future of tile empire. At such a time the Cabinet should not be torn by dissension and threatened disruption. "Kvery moment of its time should be devoted to the great decision that brooks i delay, i 'ompulsory service has had . wait many weeks. Can it riot wait now until the nation's leaders have made i tinal and Irrevocable decision on the greater point? Indecision and dissension 'n the vital question will soon render 'impulsion or tiie voluntary system equally impotent." Whatever the difference among the Ministers may have been on the Issue of conscription, present indications are that they have been suifk pending the result ..f Lord Darby's new system, t" which all parties seem to bo Inclined to glvu a fair chance. The rimSSj one of the protagonists of .ompulsory service, says that Ixird Derby's scheme offers a lei tor prospect than ever before and that the whole na tion will be mobilised for the vital busi ness It has at hand Tin paper adds that lrd Derby "has gone about the work in the right way and along the ight plan. He promises to give a true system of national service as tar as such Is possible without any legal obligation to serve. "Thut legal obligation ran always be added if nersnaary. and there seems to little doubt that the Ministers will trankly Introduce the compulsory sys tem if laird Derby's effort falls."
