O INSIDE HISTORY ` ._____., 1 Sir W. Robertson Nicol, who has frequently ex- pressed in the cQl_unins of the British \Veekly what was generally accepted as Lloyd George’s views, gives in last weck's issue of that paper the following his- tory of the crisis: “Lloyd George was not anxious to accept the oflice f the War Secretaryship. Although at once con- ronted with ditliculties, he was able to_ef`fect some- iiiig, but under the present system, under which o f nierside `snt`fcrcd.se\'ci'cly from tire, niuch more' sc- vcrcly than'in the present instance although the finali- cial loss was not so great. .\t that time 155 buildings were burned, most of them residences. and their oc- cupants were rendered homeless and many of thcin pennyl0ss_ The financial loss was estimated at $225,000 with $90000 insurance. From that loss the town has rt-covered and on the .scar that lay from one side of thc toiin to the other there have been built better and more modern homes, homes indeed which are a source of coinfrirt and pleasure to their owners and of pride to the citizens. This has been the invariable history of town and city tires, as it is thc invariablc history of loss and of sacrifice, the iiivariablc history of human progress-building on ashes, sometimes by others than the original occupants, but building, building always. \\'hile sympatliizing with the sufferers in the present great loss we may hope that front these ashes also there shall arise better and greater business sections " than those destroyed and from the progressive spirit \. sho\\‘n heretofore by the men whose “turn at loss" came this time we have good ground for the hope that this scar shall not long remain uiihealed. 0 A tot GERMANYS PEACE UFFER - hi yesterday's Guardian we published the text of the (iernian note to the lintcntc Allies expressing her willingness to enter into peace negotiations. The note is significant in many ways. lt is a distinct climb- down from the high and mighty tone adopted whilc the (iernizhi hosts were marching upon Paris during the early weeks of the war, with only a small and hur- riedly mobilized French army and the “contemptible C C oiitiniiously tlnvarled. lieinoiistrances and meiiior- displayed by these hoys is charac- teristic ot’ many another boy if given a chance.
