PREMIER'S ADVICE TO CRITICS.

London, Oct. 17.

THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH.

The Prime Minister speaking at Hadields works. Sheffield, emphasised the equal necessity of exercising economy and increasing production. The test-question whereby the Gov- ernment would stand or fall was whether, viewing matters broadly, the Government, could do more to save the temporary expenditure which marked the transition from war to pencs without imperilling the greater and more permanent interesis. He pointed out that permanent expenditure must remain far higher than before the war owing to increased interest, amortisation and pay. Those were increased in all forms of Spate service. The bread subsidy must soon disappear. The delay in siguing peace with Turkey was attributable to the fact that it was not known whether Atoerica was going to share the burdens of civilisation outside the United States. He was rather pleased the Americans were brought face to face with his because some Americans used to accuse the "great grabbing British Empire" of setting a piece of land at He thought Americans now every available opprinny. realised that Britain was undertaking a great civilising daty at a great cost to vizelves, It was the task and mission Providence had sent us and which we were discharging in various parts of the world. He begged men of bur kith and in in America to join in that task, otherwise he did not know what was going to happen to parts of the Turkish Empire. Neither we nor France cold undertake it all People who had been living in the shadow of great tyranny for centuries were appealing with uplifted, hand to America to come and Zelp to protect them! He hoped the appeat would not be in vain, We were undertaking a similar re-ponsibility ourselves and found that we were approaching the limit of our strength ad it was not wise for us to go further. It would be the Leight of unwisdom for us to disarm until the Turkish problem was settled and it was vital to the British Empire and the world that it should be settled properly and promptly. By December 1. 95 per cent. of the conscripted soldiers would have beca returned to their homes and by the time the Conscript Act expired there would not be a single conscript not returned to home. • Alluding to criticism of the Gotyrnment.

TYPHUS IN SIBERIA,

Tokyo, Oct. 1.`

A message from Omsk says Siberia is threatened with one of the greatest typhus epidemics in history. According to reports of the American Red Cross Mission, which has been in Western Siberia for the past four months, there have been 130,000 eases among Siberian troops since January and now There are 6,000 fresh cases daily. The reverses of Koltchak are attributed to the lack of sanitary facilities. Typhus is also spreading among civilians whose numbers are swelled by hosts of refugees from the Bolsheviks, overcrowding the cities, and living in fields. Thousands are digging holes in the ground to escape the intense cold. The mortality amongst children, estimated at 30 per cent, is increasing. Medical supplies and clothing are nonexistent. The American Red' Cross is superintending the construction of quarantine camps for soldiers and refugees.
