swift campaign. Some of these temper

Some time ago great scare was
caused by the absence from London OF
responsible members of the ministry
They were "week-ending," as they have
a perfect right to do, but there arose a
sudden crisis, and voices were raised
afterward inquiring what might have
happened had the crisis developed into
an immediate outbreak. Today every
man is at his post, and ministers are
constantly in consultation. But it is the
foreign office that is chiefly concerned in
the momentous crisis in the near east
The short, idle day that is the jest OF
everybody who does not enjoy govern
ment Office conditions is short and idle
no more.
Normally the foreign office is a quiet
place after 4 pm. The majority of the
clerks have departed with the exception
of one or two precis writer's and the
permanent undersecretary' shorthand
writer, who, with the undersecretary
usually remains on until O'Clock, when
parliament is sitting. If you were to 60
round to the foreign Office at or
o'clock, when peace reigned supreme,
you would find the gray building in
Downing street dark, silent and empty,
save for the presence or the commits
sionaire. who is always on duty.
But just now the foreign office is the
busiest of all government offices. and late
into the night. and sometimes right
through 1t. light shines behind the blinds
of the windows. The entrance is astir

there is no special indication. except
