DECORATIONS

As the facts about the ammunition trouble which Great Britain has had grow clearer it seems more and more probable that the redistribution of duties among the members of the British Cabinet under which Lloyd George became responsible for the supply of munitions was something more than plan to relieve Lord tch- ener Of oyerwork. There was failure somewhere to see that trench warfare demanded enormous supplies of shells that would make the dirt ny and if was not Lord Kitchener's failure whose was it? In this country our only recent example of War Minister who failed or was accused of falling is Gen Ager man who was more scapegoat than sinner. Everyone win remember the canpaign that was earried on against him and the designation that resulted Were this coan- try concerned in shelf shortage such as that which is stirring Great Britain now something like the process which brought about the fall of Alger would be in full blast. but mey do things another way in England. There they give the responsible Minister the garter and less to do Here his decoration is the sack.

 Some time ago a delegate from the metropolis was motoring through a country district when he came to a farm where some men were at work on a huilding operation Stopping at the farm for water, the motorists en- gagged in conversation with Uncle Josh.
 'I see." remarked the former point ing to the new building you are mak- ing some improyements.p
