SECOND EDITION. LORD FRENCH’S STORY.
MR ASQUITH’S ANSWER. ga.ff.HMi and N.Z. Cable Anociatiom LONDON, June 3. in a speech, said that Lord French’s intended movements el the army prior to Lord Kitchener's visit filled the Cabinet with consternation. They , would have left France in the lurch at a moment of extreme need. The French Government shared this alarm. Between September ISU4 and November 1914 the forces fa the field were increased fourfold, and the munitions nineteenfold. The manufacturers promised a much larger output of munitions than they actually supplied. Mr Asquith concluded by reading Lord French’s private letter of May, 1915, stating: “In the whole history of war no commander-in-chief has been helped in his difficult task by the head of the Government as I have been supported and strengthened by your unfailing sympathy and encouragement.’’
