MR. ASQUITH'S AND LORD KITCHENER'S SPEECHES
FAVOURABLE IMPRESSION CREATED IN FRANCE. BRITAIN'S MAGNIFICENT EFFORT. (TIUES AND SIDNEI SUN SERVICES.)' (Received September 20, 8.30 a.m.) LONDON, 19th September. The Times correspondent in Paris says the speeches of Mr. Asquith and Lord Kitchener at the opening of the British Parliament have produced the most favourable impression. The stern resolution is expressed that France must continue the war to the end. Despite the sacrifices that have been made the speeches are regarded as a fresh augury of victory. The French opinion concerning the British achievements has crystallised in a remarkable article in Le Temps. An ungrudging tribute is paid to Britain's magnificent effort during the first year of the war. The paper says : "Lord Kitchener has accomplished an enormous work, unprecedented in history, wSti remarkable method and clearness of vision." Commenting on the question of conscription, Le Temps says : "The hour has come when it is necessary to adopt a clear categorical attitude in order to convince the country of what is necessary to be done for its own salvation. Voluntary enrolments are only expedients.".
