MR. ASHMEAD BARTLETT'S lECTURES
WHAT HE THOUGHT OF THE COLONIALS. By Telegraph—l'ress Association—Copyright London, November 26. Mr. Ashmead Bartlott, in a- lecture, remarked that it was undesirable to say anything* about expeditions of the future. No one knew much; even the GoVernmcnt did not know. Future expeditions would depend very {argoly on tlie operations in the Balkans. However, whatever happened, tho conduct of the Australians, New Zealanders, Indians, and Maoris had done mucli_ to bind tho Empire. He did not think there was any reason for pessimism; if wo had failed in one quarter, we would mil in another. Mr. BaTtlett referred to the Australians and New_ Zealanders as men who thoroughly enjoyed fighting. They were wonderful with tho bayonet at close quarters, and it was a pity they had been wasted on the Turks when they might have been killing Germans. They would sooner kill Germans. Tho real tragedy on Gallipoli was that these wonderful men had been used against a race who, handled carefully,/ might have been in the war on our side.
