Apart from the anti-Kitchener ( Xortbcliffo press, the newspapers j generally consider that Mr. Asquith has dissipated Lord French's nTiisa- J tions. They draw special attention j to Lord French's eulogy of Mr.! Asquith three days after the Liberal Government's fall, while Lord French now states that he engineered its fall in order to save the country from ruin. The Westminster Gazette recall? French's eulogy of Kitchener in the House of Lords on June -20. 1016, and says nevertheless persecution has again lifted its ugly head.
