"BACKBITERS WHO ENCOURAGE THE ENEMY.”
p.m.
July 29, 1.05 A point in Mr. Asquith's speech to which the papers give pro minence was the rebuke "Backbiters who depress the Allies and There was an immense 'demonstration at encourage the ensny,' the word "back bitere," and an echoing cheer when Mr. Asquith thanked the Press for its patriotism "with one or two melancholy and notorious exceptions."

Parliament has been adjourned.
