On Tuesday and Thursday Mr. Morley was ex- posed to
a running fire of questions about the expedition against the Zakka Khels, the cause of which appears per- fectly clear, and its undertaking justifiable, to all but Mr. Morley's detractors. In answer to Mr. W. Redmond, Mr. Morley said that he hoped there would be no discussion of the policy of the expedition until the forces had at all events made some advance. As for the alleged issue of an order that correspondents might not accompany the troops, Mr. Morley promised to find out what had been done, and whether the prohibition, if it existed, could be modified. We fear that Mr. Morley must be getting a very unpleasant impression of the captiousness of some of his Parliamentary critics, but we are glad to say that his characteristic courage and coolness are equal tci the ordeal.
