Smith, the new British Attorney-General, has paid this high compliment to the Prime Minister. He said: _ "The London Globe said this of the Prime Minister: 'Itwill not do for him to attempt to find cover for his Government Government behind the rampart of the dead.' "In other words, it is said that Mr. Asquith is attempting to cover up the delinquencies of his Government behind the rampart: of those who have died for this country. "Whether you agree with the Prime Minister or disagree with him, whether whether you admire or do not admire his public record, he is at least a man who has grown grey in the public service, service, and who has contributed three brilliant sons--not soldiers until this war arose--to the trenches, two of whom have already been wounded, and all three of whom are serving in infantry battalions. He is a jman who is to-day bearing a burden of responsibility responsibility the like of which has never fallen upon the shoulders of any English English statesman in all the history of this country. "To say of such a man that he has attempted to find cover for his Government Government behind the rampart of the dead is a gross travesty of his speech and a statement which is discreditable discreditable to journalism."
