MR. ASQUITH AND THE
SHELLS.
THE TROTH AT LAST.
TOLD IN KITCHENER'S
BIOGRAPHY.
General Sir F. Maurice, writing in the Daily Nacs, deals with a con troversy which he thinks Sir George Arthur's "Life of Lord Kirchener" has definitely settled.
It will be remembered, he writes, that Lord French, in his "1914 made-rericus charges against Lord Kitchener, Mr. Asquith ard Sir
Horace Smith-Derrien, in respect of certain actions taken by them during the early months of the war. Lord Kitchener being cezd, and Sir Horace Smith-Dorrier an officer sull in Service, could not reply.
In a speech at the Connaught Rooms Kitchener "everything." the all im. of ammunition on June 3rd, 1910, Mr. Asquith portant question produced his authority for that stalez ent. It was a letter from Lord Kitchener dated April 14th, 1915, which ran as follows
My dear Prime Minister-I have had a talk with French. He told me I could let you know that, with the present supply of ammunition, he will have as much as his troops will! be able to use in, the text forward movement.
LORD FRENCH'S DENTAL.
should not have been mentioned? Is it conceivable that Lord French should have been "in strong hopes of a great advance" if he knew that he was woefully deficient of shells? If it rested there the case for Lord Kitchener and Mr. Asquith would be overwhelming, but it does not.
On May 7, jest one week before the battle of Festubert began Lord French wrote to Kitchener:
I would rather say, nothing to you now about the bog business, but if Lord French now comes on the things remain quiet I suggest going scene. In a preface to the second to breakfast with you on Thursday edition of his "1914," he denies morning at 8.30 ara.... The am- having made any such statement to munition will be all right- Byd Kitcheuer, and refers to a cos: Just a week inter Lord French was Mr. turn out endeavouring to Asquith's Government on the ground that it had failed to supply him with the ammunition he required for his battle!

Lord Kitchener must the prosecution of a great war but if his command. As Horace Smith-Dorrien, it has already be labouring under a total mis anyone still believes that after the teen shown that Lord French's apprehension as to out conversation, outbreak of war there was lethargy recollection of the positions and which, I understand, le alleges took and inaction in the provision of muni recrements of his own troops and his place at-York-lauseion March 21.-tions by Mr.-Asquith's Government account of the enemy's strength at 1915.
