MR. ASQUITH'S APPEAL TO THE

WORKERS.

POSTPONEMENT OF HOLIDAYS

(Australian and N.Z. Cable Association)

London, July 13. In the House of Commons, Mr Asquith announced that owing to war needs the Government proposed the postponement of all holidays. The Allies' offensive, which was only just beginning, required a great and continuous supply of munitions. There was ample for the present, but the daily consumption was enormous. He therefore appealed to the workers and the public generally to postpone holidays in order that the attack brilliantly begun could be carried to a triumphant conclusion.
