Donohue, war correspondent of the London Chronicle, formerly a Sydney pressman, has arrived on a holiday. He says : "T have a very big, lasting affection m respect to the muchmaligned Turk. He is a grand man ' naturally, and not cruel. On the other, hand the Bulgarian is an unmitigated brute. The Turk is a' splendid . fight- ; ing man. His disasters were due to the fact that he was neither led iior fed. Mr Donhue is especially emphaticin his declaration that the war was not lost. The horrors of the last phase, of this war wero even more horrible than the first. Regarding national training Mr Donohue says he does not believe in'' conscription, but believes m Australia's defence methods. Tho results m the" Balkans prove that training must be .. carried out. Tho only way to keep * peace is to be trained into possession of tho ability to fly q,t the throat of aggressors with a chance of hurting.
