How is England equipped to stand the strain of war? ls
the empire powerful enough financially and in-
1* dustrially, to endure through the struggle?
Can the British of 1914 bear battle as did the
_ _ affirmative. '

Mr. Perris has given intense thought and niinuie
and keen investigation to his subject. His conclusion is ‘that England today is as superior materially to England
aiu century ago as the latest dreadnought is to the war-
hips of Nelson.
The author wrote the preface of his work last `May. He
affirmed tltat “the nation which had had the strength to pass this test ot’ the march of inilustrialism in the nine- teeiith century will face without fear the worst that the future can reveal. England, if site has no monopoly of the means to wealth. holds her moral primacy."
From victory amid the smoke of Waterloo England turn-
ed to new victories amid the smoke of engines.

The coinparativc strength of tho various nations in air-
» craft is the subject of an article in the current nttmber of thc American Review of Reviews. The estimated strength of thc warring countries in this branch is sct forth as follows:

lt will he seen front tltcsc figurcs, thc authority for
which is llcnry Woodhouse, tlic editor of` Flying, that the _-tllics in craft of tlic air are considerably stronger than Gt-rnuiny and Austria combitied. It is to bc reitiembereil that thc respective governments art- increasing the nttiu- bt-r of tht-sc flying machines and balloons its rapidly as possible ni the present timc. This is very iicccsary. as Ilic strongest of them arc frail and thc hard itsagc of' war is calculated to play_havoc with tltcirdeiicatc parts.

ceeiled all expectations, and at tltc present moment wc have over 500.000 recruits in training. Certainly before the end of the year we shall have a nilllioii men under arms apart from those on the continent, ami apart front
the recruits that will still _be coming n. The proclaiming of the Moratorium
quickly saved a panic, and before ati- other two ntonths has elapsed I an- ticipate that most of the credit machin- ery will be at work again. The prob- lem is to deal with the trade bills that we hold against foreign coitntries. but as Lloyd George says, Iltis is a balance on the rigltt side, for it is not it liabil- ity front its to them.
I miticipatc that the liloratorium will
be lifted by degrees and in classes of debts, for example: thc first to bo lift- ed will be the ordinary debts to trades- men and then the debts between retailer aitii wholesaler and so forth. At the commencement the banks seem- ed dlsinclined to help. bitt Lloyd George by a few public remarks. and it good deal of private pressure is bringing them into lint-_ ’l`he crux of the financial situation. as for as I can sec. is in the loss of trade. export and import, with Germany and the other (`onlincntal nations acfuzilly fighting. The falling off lu this last month was .Lil-4.000.000. We shall have to make this good front the point of view of employment in two tvnysz by collaring German trade iii other coinitrics and by starting dcvelopnit-nt and improve- iucnt schemes ttiutiicipiiliy. Already the iiiatiiifacturcrs have numerous cn- iiiiirics l`roiu all over thi-_ world ask- ing for iiuotzttions I'or goods, hitherto ntailc in Gertnany and Austria.
\\'ith regard to the second-metltotl
of making good, we have started ii number ot’ big housing scltemes b_v moans of loans to mtiiiicipalities front the Government.
Generally I am quite confident. that
this country is in a better position to weather thc storm econoinicnlly and morally than Germany.
The rally of the colonies and Ittdlit
to Britain is producing a magnificent effect here. 'l`ltc gifts tnado by the (‘iiitadiiiii 'Proviiii-cs, the stories of thc ontliiisiasni which come to tis. and the men themselves make us fecl very safe itntl liappy.

LONDON. Sept. 25.-The past week
_ L .has brought a great blow to the nation ' in the form of a naval disaster. the sig-I
nlficance of which lay not in the three old cruisers that were torpedved. bill in the loss of brave bluejacketu. As.- however, the nation has steeled itself to take a'few inevitable blows while de lin some at the enemy this one
boniuiable seanune method of des-
inaii fleet cannot do, namely, keeping open the North Sea for Maritime com- merce. ln kcepiitg open our t1‘l1d6 routes and in guarding our shores from invasion. otir fleet is rendering untold service of which we do not hear much until a reverse or a brush- up occurs. _
Although this is only tlte eighth
week of tlte war, the Germans have managed to pile up a record of uifamv which bids fair to make Kaiser “Lil- lielm ll. earn the title of Attila ll. The, civilized world was shocked on Mon- dav to learn that Illteints Catlieilral. one of the iitost venerable and historic monumental sanctuaries in Christen- dom. had been destroyed by the en- emy. The dastardly nature ot’ this offence against civilization in delib- erately nttatzking a church, was in- creased by the fact that a Red Cross flag was flying ovcr thc Cathcilral, as German woiiniled were bein!! CHFUII for within one section of it. 'i`o mait_\‘ of us lthelms is familiar through an old poem which is the story of a curse, and it will be interesting to‘so_e if the Pope's message of rebuke to thc Kais- er--which is as near it curse as is cott- sistcnt with a tnessugc to it iiou~t`i-,Ilt- olit,--will operate.

France the struggle l`or scvcrnl (lays past has hoen one which has shown little marked result, though there is every reason to believe that it is ri tull- ol-\var~ which will result in one bull that will topple over the enemy.

No clearer proof of what thc war
