THE ANNIVERSARY---AND AFTER
H Never in the history of the world was a. war undertaken with such national unanimity as that in which since 11 o`clock at night on the 4th August last we have been
House," were the words with which Sir Edward Grey concluded his speech on 3rd August; “ and if,as seems not improbable, we are forced to take our stand upon these issues, their l believe when the country realises what is at stake-what the real issues are-the magnitude of the impending dangers in the west of Europe-we shall be supported tlrrouglrorrt, not only by the House of Cornrnons,
the crnlurance of the whole country."
Both in (‘anatla and in the lfrrited Kingdom, as well as in
party ceased. As Mr lloratlo llottomley the well-known journalist anti publicist puts lt: The spirit of Brotherhood, unity, courage and self-sacrifice possessed all. None of the belligerent (loverrrnreiits-not even excepting that of Gernrany-entered into the struggle surer ot' national sup- port and public confidence than did the British. From being almost hopelessly discredited it sprang into instant popularity. lt seemed that Ministers had suddenly become strong~as il', contrary to all former experiences, and in spite of the swift developinent of the Great Tragedy, this war at least would not be messed and muddled. And we werr- ecutirrned in that view when we found Lord Kitchener at the War ()lllce and Lord Fisher at the Admiralty. " Now,” we said, “ we may indeed sleep peacefully in our ht-ds. The war is in the rlglit hands at last, and the politicians .wilL.uoi_..ii.\.Lort'er:e..._.They have agreed not to quarrel, and, in face of real danger' to the State, to drop their' parrot cries and unite in the coinrnon cause."
'l`heu carrie the fatal calnr. Slaggered at thc enormity
of the tragedy which had broken upon the world, we haird- ed ourselves over to those in authority, saying, “ l)o with us what you will; take our money-but go in and finish the war." And 'they replied, “ All is well; leave it to us.” 'l‘li\is were we lulled into a sense oi' false security, never really understanding how near we were to annihilation; going about our business, and o\rr pleasures, “ as usual "- unrl leaving everything else to “the Government." True, we had rr kind of inkling that we had been taken somewhat

the First Lord of the Admiralty lriruself tell us that we would " dig it otrt like gals from their hole "Y Alas! little
that Lord Kitchener was being thwarted on every hand hy the 'l`it-o llarnacle.~: of the War Olllce and the Army l‘orrrn:il-nor that Lord l"islrcr‘ was at bitter' loggerlreads with lrls civilian (lliiefs.
'l`hc war was being run on‘ copy-book maxinis ami
political slribboletlrs that had done duty for fifty years. Instead ot' realising that we were in for a struggle to the
one of “lending our French ally :i hand.” Thus, after six niorrlhs, we had neither nrerr nor mrrrrltiorrs; Germany's ll0l`lS WSH* Open to receive food and material of wa s les
The Uflllsll l>€0Dle rose to a realisation of the serious
ness of the situation, with the result that ri coalition Gov- ernment was forrned rind the work ot' organisation begun in errrnest, with the result, also, that it has taken us llll to~day to he able to say: "\Ve are now at length prepared." We are a highly rererrperative and very resourceful people, and the rurnivcrsary finds us ready.
Again on the authority of Mr Bottomly, who speaks
under the reserve imposed by the censor, we may make two definite statements: The German navy will soon bc forced to fight-when it will either surrender or be armi- hilated; and the German army will soon be out of France and Belgium. Tire rest is for Lord Kitchener and the military and naval strategists to determine. Oh! yes, we know what Lord Kitclrencr said at the Gulhlholl-but Lord Kitcliener has to say many things whlclr sound rather disappointing-till they are critically examined; that ls why they are written down and carefully revised before they rrre spoken. Let us, however, help you to read into his words one or two declarations which, coming from him, and at such a tlmc, are more eloquent of early victory than anything we have ever written. llow does this strike you? ln Flanders "we are presenting a solid and impenetrable fmlll Hi-lfllllst Ute cllcruy." Doesn't sound mrrcli like the (lorinarrs getting to (‘alais. does lt? And, remember. these words were uttered after leaving a conference with French and Joffrc. And there was more in that conference than the world yet knows. It was not called to discuss the weather! Brit, to quote the War Sphinx again, what of the llardnrrelles? " We are pushing the campaign to a euccele. ful conclusion." That means that we ure nearly through the Drirdanelles, doesn't it? And, once through, you know the rest. And munitions? "This very important matter is being dealt with in a highly entllflctory manner," S0
there is no further trouble about munitions. Do you realise that?
The truth is that the problem of this wonderful war
is "UW “°lV€‘l- A Year ago we were, metaphorically ns well as literally, all at sea. We hadn't a general or nn ndmlml Wh” ‘Wi ev" Hee" H European war: and an their south Afl'|CI1fl.

preparatlorls of Germany-about her wonderful spy System ln our mlds_t, and her devilish disregard, not only of her pledged' word, but of every one ofithe humanities of war? All these things had to be learnt and mastered.
Still, that is all over now. Whilst France and Russia,
and Serbia and Japan have been holding the ground, the British Empire has been pulling itself together.
‘ And you cun‘t beat the British Empire.
THE UNEQUAL BURDEN
The complaint ls frequently heard that the war burden
is not being equally distributed; that the willing and the

And the remedy prescribed for all this News and Edit. Night Phones . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 132 G 133 nhl;-king and meanness is compulsion. Do away with the
voluntary contribution system, say the complainants, and let the Government levy a special war tax to provide guns, munitions, provisions, etc.; do away with volunteer recruit- ing and let the Government 'introduce conscrlption. 4 In this way the burden would be equallsed; the shirker would he compelled to do his duty; the mean man would be com- pelled to contribute according to his means.
Tire remedy would be effective; it would reach down to
Managing Editor . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . .. . . . J. R. Bufrloli the meanest man in the community; it would bring out
those who are sheltering themselves behind wouien's aprons; it would increase our armies by many millions of men-but it would do more than that. lt would introduce

militarist system which we are to-day spending blood and treasure to wipe out. "
In every age of the world the burden has been bome by
he willing onesr ’l‘here‘ls'n`ot'a` 'ch'ur1:h',"or'a"`school,'or' ii" charitable organisation in the country that has not found this out. They have all been founded on the freewlll efforts of the willing ones.
To-day the Empire is fighting for its life. The willing
ones have cheerfully offered themselves, their services, their gifts, and thank God there are enough of them to redeem the Empire. Tire others will share in the shelter and the liberty that will be bought for them by the blood and the sacrifices of better men.
Gt-rmarry has worked it the other way. There are no
volunteers in the German army; there are no freewlll
but by the deterinirration, the courage, the resolution, and ,0m,,.mgS by me people to feed the poor, to sustain the
army. The Government has provided for that. The other day our despatches told us that an Imperial order had been issued conllsraiing all the copper, silver and nickle utensils in the homes of the people. They belonged to the flovcrurnent ami were not to be disposed of without official permission.
We own our homes and all that they contain. We give
of them freely, as necessity may arise, for the good of our fellow-men and the upkeep of the flag under whose folds we enjoy British lilmrty. If there are those-and there 're-who are content to be parasites, to be i'ed and sheltered, to be fought for and sacrificed for, the Empire
can al`t`ord to carry them-and to pity them.
lt may be that the parasites may become too numerous,
that the burden may become greater than the willing slroulders can carry. And it may be that the shirkers may have to he compelled. ln that case we may be obliged to
resort to special taxation and conscriptiorr, brit when lrlrzrtq happens the most beautiful element*ln'oir_r`lJ°oa§lctl_llrilislr
liberty will have been clouded.

A corrcspornlerrt of the Guardian who has been, and
still is, ii Liberal, directs our attention to the magnificent condition of the roads all over' the Island this year. Ile says he has occasion to drive extensively and never \vitliirr the last thirty years can he recall the roads being ln better condition. For the most part thc roads have been widened, turnpiked and graded in a manner reflecting the greatest credit on those in charge. llc iirstanced especi- ally the Malpequc ltoad, which he said he used to be afraid to trust. his horse on and now, he declares, it is in splendid condition.
