BLUNDERS IN WAR
Rationalist Blames Kitchener for
Hot Going to Aid of Liege
and Serbia.

LIND AND SILLIMAN CONFER WITH GARRANZA Left to right: General Obreffon,
who left the same night to direct the campaign at Agua Prieta against Villa; John W.
Roberts, special newspaper correspondent; Consul John E. Silliman, General Auguilar
and John Lind.
LONDON. Nov. 12 Arthur Lynch
nationalist, today in the House of
Commons, made a strong attack upon
Lord Kitchener, who, he said, had
plundered In not moving to the de
fense of Liege, again on the question
of munitions, and once again in
Serbia.
"The blunder in the Dardanelles,"
tie added, "was at least a blunder of
a man who meant to do something."
i He contended that the war was
delng conducted with signal Incom
petency and that unless there was a
change the country was moving
Straight . to disaster. He would
weep away 70 per cent of the higher
British command, beginning with
Field Marshal French, who had been
In command fifteen months and
''had made no progress."
In the last offensive, continued
Mr. Lynch, the allies broke through
the German lines, but in the superior
command decision was wanting to
take full advantage of the moral
victory. The government he declared
had no plan of campaign. The pica
of a successful war of attrition was
absurd. The war must be won in
the field. The men were good and
munitions were there. It was leader
ship and direction which were lack
ing. Limit to Endurance.
After several members had spoken on
various aspects of the war, Arthur A.
I'onsonby, liberal, closing the debate for
the critics of the government, said that
while the situation was not so bad as it
was painted there was a limit to endur
ance, and that the chancellor of the ex
chequer could not but look with the grav
st apprehension to the future. After the
Kir, ha declared, the foreign office would
have to be cleared out from top to bot
tom. Sir Edward Grey, secretary for foreign
affairs, assured the house that if the
government had not done as much as it
should have liked for Serbia It had not
been from any want of good will. The
French and British governments had
offered to send 160,000 troops to Salonlkl
to enable Greece to fulfill Its treaty obli
gations to Serbia. x
Sent Men Available.
They had sent the men who were avail
able at once and had begun to make
reparation for the transport of troops
from other places, but these could not be
obtained without due regard for the mili
tary exigencies. Then Greece changed its
mind.
After consultation with France, how
ever, It wa decided to continue the dis
patch of troops to Salontkl. It was due
only to the limitations imposed by the
war that more had not been sent.
The house formally agreed to a vote of
jredlt of 100.000,000 ,000,000,000) asked
tor by Premier Aequlth.

Large Part of Swiss
Army Will Go Home
BASEL., Swltxerland (Via Paris), Nov.
12. A considerable por.ion of the Swiss
army will be sent home from the Swiss
frontier November 13, as It appears that
the government Is convinced no danger
of territorial violations by the belligerents
now exist.
The expense of maintaining upward of
200,000 men under arms has been a try
ing burden.
The government has been kept In a
state of constant anxiety month after
month by what was believed to be confi
dential, trustworthy information concern
ing designs against Switserland by one
or another of the belligerents, all of which
turned out to be inaccurate. However,
ample forces will be retained at strategic
points.

NOTE TO GREAT BRITAIN
COLOGNE (IVa London), Nov. 12.
What Is said to be an Inspired dispatch

the American note to Great Britain,
says:
"The energy with which the president,
after the settlement of the controversy
with Germany, has taken up the settle

acknowledged unreservedly here.' There
could be no more convincing documentary
proof of the importance of American
Interests and the extent of the British
violations of right than this note.
"America It must be conceded, has
spoken thoroughly and energetically.

strong is the political determination be

Luther Drake Makes His Maiden
Speech Before the Electrical Men
A new master of oral expression has

Luther Irake, who electrified delegates
and business men at a banquet of the
Nebraska Electrical association at the
Fontrnelle Thursday noon.
Mr. Drake was pursuaded by rare di

"bon mots," which he did In a manner
that would make William Jennings, who
Is also an electrifying speaker, writhe
la envy. In fact the "Julos" (grape and
electric) expert never spoke en "current"
topics to greater effect, than Mr. Drake.
"He Is simply Masda," remarked Gen

BERUN (Via Indan). Nov. 12.
Rumors that Serbia has applied for a
separate peace suddenly have sprung Into
general circulation, but so far as can be
ascertained they are without the slightest
foundation.
The Associated Press, on Investigating
the rumors, found one amusing explana
tion of them. The bells of the Protestant
churches had started pealing simultane
ously and someone seeking the reason for
this conjured the theory that It was the be
ginning of Serbian negotiations. The con
jecture soon devoloped Into a report, the
fact being Ignored that the bells were
being rung on the occasion of the meet
ing of the synod of the Prussian Evan
gelical church.

highly evident how Mr. Drake charged
the assembly with Ms battery of spon
taneous wit Those present say this was
Mr. Drake's Initial effort, yet are posi
tive that only years of pratlce and care

as displayed by the new luminary.
The banquet was a part of the program
of the Nebraska Electrical association,
