FRENCH AND KITCHENER.
(By Electric Telegraph—Copyright) (Ausfc. Si N.Z. Cable Assn. & .Reuter) LONDON, Juno 3. Continuing, Mr. Asquith said £#ord French’s intended movements of the Army prior to Kitchoner’ B visit filled the Cabinet with consternation. They would Lave left France in, the lurch at the moment of extreme need. The French Government shared this alarm. Between September, 1914 and 1915, the forces in the field were increased fourfold, and the munitions nineteenfold. Manufacturers promised a much larger output of munitions than they actually supplied. Mr, Asquith concluded by reading Lord French’s private letter of May, 1915, stating that in the whole history of the war no commander-in-chief has been helped in a difficut task by the head of the Government as I have been supported and strengthened by your unfailing sympathy andl encouragement.
