IN BRITAIN. "A HIGH AUTHORITY."

FURTHER QUESTIONS'IN THE COMMONS. , (Received June 29, 11.15 a.m.) ■LONDON, June 28. In the House of Commons, Sir A. Markharn repeated Lord Cecil's question regarding a "high authority" who had informed Mr Asquith that the shortage of munitions was causing him anxiety. Tho questioner said it placed a slur on Sir John French if it is not answered, as Sir John French was the only other possible authority.. Mr Asquith said it was most, undosirable, in the interests of the public service, to raise the question." Mr A. A. Lynch interjected: "Is it of no interest to the nation that young soldiers should be sacrificed to incompetents?" There was angry dissent at MiLynch's question. ■•..-..■■ .:;
