Revolution in Sight.

The war found her unprepared not
only from the military standpoint,
but politically. The Liberal govern
ment was apparently riding for a fall.
There had been all but mutiny in the
army The Irish had become more
turbulent than ever. Sir Edward
Carson had established his 'Provi-
sional Government of Ulster" and
revolution was in sight. India was
seething with sedition. Even Can
ada had shown signs of tiring Of the
restraint of mothers apron strings.
Industrial unrest was at it's height.
Altogether things were in a very
bad way.
Now most of these troubles have
disappeared. Some of them remained
longer than others, it is true. It has
been a year of readjustment. Lib
erals and Conservatives, Radicals and
Tories, now sleep in the same bed.

at once the surprise of his enemies

Becker's career as policeman was
a temptuous one. He was leader of
the "strong arm" squad, which had
charge of controlling vice in the
Tenderloin district, and especially
gambling. He was in numerous
scrapes of different kinds; charges
of persecution were filed against him
many. times, and there were equally
as many charges of showing discrtm-

Through all his troubles, Becker's

beside him throughout his trials and
