THE BRITISH PEOPLE.

ALL NOT DOING THEIR SHARE

(Received May 24, 2.30 p.m.)

• LONDON, May 23. The Right Hon. James Lowther (Speaker of the House of Commons), in a speech at Penrith, said that everyone in Germany was doing his share, but the same could not be said of the British people. The Government, which so far as the world knew was carrying on the war efficiently and successfully, suddenly found it necessary to reorganise themselves. Even now the gravity of the situation was not revealed to the public.
