ANTWERP ADVENTURE.

CHURCHILL'S DEFENCE. Australian and N.Z. Cable, Association. (Received November 27, 12.10 p.m.) LONDON, November 26. Colonel Winston Churchill, concluding his article in the "Sunday Pictorial," on the Antwerp expedition at the beginning of the war, argues that no more important results have been achieved in the present war by forces so limited, and for losses so small, than those rewarding the almost forlorn enterprise to relieve Antwerp. He declares that to the five days thus gained, we owe the victory of the Yser, and the safety of Dunkirk and Calais. There has been no more remarkable example of Ihe llexibility, celerity and baffling nature of the amphibious power which Great Britain alone wields, but which she blindly under-valued and condemned.
