He asked why work on a British Zeppe- lin had been stopped in January, and whether the Admiralty had dropped {the policy of attacking Zeppelins by _‘ aeroplanes. I v Besides the claims to hospitality which the Entente Allies declare they have on Greece, Lord Kitchener or the Entente Ministers are likely to draw the attention of King Constan- tine and his Government to the' fact that the Constitutionalism of Greece was guaranteed by France, Russia and Great Britain, and that it was obtained only after Great Britain had ceded the Ionian Islands to that coun- try, and the three powers had agreed to contribute $20,000 yearly for the personal use of the King. This, it is contended, binds the Greek people to the Entente Allies, and should King Constantine .over~rule the constitution it is suggested in some quarters that King Constantine would be reminded that his retention of the Throne of Greece depends on the continuance of friendly neutrality towards the En-i tente powers. Allles Remind Greek King it is They Who Practically Keep Hlm There During the course of debate in the House of Commons in London recentâ€" ly, A. J. Balfour, First Lord of the Admiralty, laid down the principle that he would not reply to criticisms on the conduct of the war, on the ground that “all criticism of the con- duct of the war must, until after the war is over, and indeed long after. be a matter almost impossible to deal with, because the facts are not and cannot be known.” The House of Commons formally agreed to a vote of credit for $2,000,000,000, asked for by Premier Asquith.

Very little damage has been f done. In every case our artillery has ' taken advantage of its superior weight ; and retaliated with a heavy fire. which Ehas effectively silenced the German I batteries. “Our patrols and snipers continue to maintain their general ascendency over the enemy. On several occasions oflicers’ patrols have penetrated the German wire entanglements and se- cured valuable information as to the condition‘ of the German parapets. Few indications of hostile patrols have been found. The training of our troops is progressing well, and continues to receive every attention.
