DUTY TO FRIGHTEN THE PEOPLE

United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph— Copyrlutit. (Received June 16,10.10 t a.m. I LONDON, June 15. "Nobody with the slightest knowledge would deny that the situation in Europe is far worse than it was in 1914," said the Secretary for War, Mr. A. Duff-Cooper, at a trade lunchcon. "Yet we are joking and laughing and refusing to face the facts. We are allowing people to preach that it is wicked to defend women and children from gas attacks. We are told we are frightening ihe people. I think it is the duty of ihosc in authority to frighten the people."
