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 far they have been retiring in good

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.

While from a military viewpoint

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.

PEABODY, Mass., Oct. 28.--A fire
swept through the three story brick building occupied by the St .Iohn’s 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-

Suddenly- there was a cry of fear

The flames it is supposed, started in
the basement and according to s me was caused by the explosion fha steam boiler from which the building wus floated. There is doubt, however, as to the exact origin of the fire.
The llodles of the dead generally

MONCTON, Oct. 27.-Many friends

Bowness; leader of the Moncton Citizen‘s Con- cert Band, suffered a severe paralytic stroke, while leading the band ab the entertainment in honor of Private Le- Blanc in L’Assomption Hall last even- ing. Mr. Bowness had just sat down after leading the band in a selection, when suddenly he remarked to those about him that his left arm seemed to have become numb and useless and ho thought that it must have “gone to sleep."
Further enquiry convinced those to
whom he spoke that he had suffered a paralytic stroke. A physician was hastily summoned and Mr. Bowness was removed in an auto to his home on Wesley Street, where` Dr. F. J. White is in attendance. Tile patient is in a critical condition, although, contrary to the rule in many such cases, he has not lost 'his power of speech.
