LONDON, Sept. 29. In the House of Commons, replying to' Mr Joynson-Hicks, Mr Asquith refused to make a statement on the Dardanelles position and prospects. He said all had been stated whicii the Government considered consistent with military exigencies. I Sir John French, in reply to the Lord -Mayor's birthday congratulations, I says: "Tne expression of the citizens of London's goodwill is the greatest encouragement to the troops to push ouv immediate success to a really decisive issue, comjbintiy- with our Allies." The Daily Chronicle says Cabinet is considering Lord Kitchener's estimate for a largely increased army' in 1916, Mr Balfour's memorandum on sea power, a distinguished economist's report on the Empire's; economic resources, and an expert report on Britain's financial and trading position. Cabinet will shortly receive Lord Lansdowne's committee's report in connection with f the National Register. The recruiting officers are making renewed efforts to stir up slackers and great recruiting Tallies have been fixed for Saturday. Recruiting sergeants admit that Sir John French's despatch has done more in 48 hours than all the silver-tongued oratory of tlie country's leaders, and they are doing their utmost to profit by the outburst of patriotism.
