Marriage is a fine thing and teach

case of Eta Chamberlin stands out.
Poor pay, the unsympathetic atti-

Lloyd George s declaration that
Great Britain must put out every
ounce of strength before it can win is
unquestionably the truth Over one
entire year has been spent in this ter
rible war. Yet, with great superiority
of men and resources the entente al
lies have not been able to hold their
own against the central powers be-
cause of the superior military prepa-
ration of the latter. The allies real
ize more than ever before the mighty
advantage with which Germany and
Austria entered the war There is no
use in concealing the truth. Not oniy
Britain, but France, Russia, Italy and
the Balkan nations must exert them
selves strenuously if they are to win
inside of two years.

II. G. Wells has had dream that
before the end Of the war the mastery
of the air will have been won by the
allies. 1t may come true Certainly the
allied air forces are making great
strides. The first tangible result of
the agitation have been attacks on
German factories by squadrons of more
than 60 aeroplanes. The aviators of
the allies are now being trained syste-
matieally to fly in big squadrons. Mill
tary officers arc beginning to realize
that if a fleet of 60 aeroplanes that
flew together to attack a German for

factory 60 bombs, 80 of which were of
large calibre, 600 aeroplanes might have
