LONDON, Dec. X.—In a public ad
dress last night Lord Bereford scath
ingly denounced tho government for
what he termed "the gross misman
agement and tho senseless muddling of
the government in its conduct of the
war." Bereford further declared that
the situation of the nation was alarm
ing in every ifray and unless there was
a change th© country would bitterly
regret the policies at present dieting
tin* affairs of the empire.
Tile attack of the distinguished ex
naval officer has created a sensation
and his bitter arraignment of the au
rities has been the subject of more
• mment than has been heard since the
famous statement of Lord Roberts
that the long prophesied day of Kng
land's downfall had commenced at the
utbreak of the war.
