IN BRITAIN.
THE REAL SCAPEGOAT
THE BRITISH PUBLIC
(Received August 2, 9.25 a.m.)
LONDON, August 1. Lord Derby, at a recruiting meeting at Stockport, said lie had received a letter from Sir lan Hamilton, in which he wrote:—"Get more drafts sent out to reinforce one of the finest divisions it has ever been my fortune to meet." Lord Derby added:—"We shall force the Dardanelles, but only at the cost of life and of very heavy fighting. Time is our powerful ally. Britishers should not only be loyal to the King,' but to all leaders. It is despicable to blame individuals or the War Office. The real scapegoat is the British pub-, lie itself because it refused to, heed the warnings of the past." ■'■'■'\i .
