the city is still standing Regarding the re-
volt it may be said that all revolts are not
caused by misgovernment, but by those who
lead the rank and file to think they can do
governmental work
Paragraph six is largely assumption, in that
it makes Germany, France and Russia emerge
from world war stronger than expected
with great prestige, regardless of defeat,
which must come to some of them.
In paragraph seven continued insult and
nsnuation are hurled against British gen
erals, and they are charged with. even de-
stroying "the French generals plans by in
decision" Such a statement must come, to
be reliable, from the General of the French
Joffre, or clever military expert, and even
then could be questioned.
Ireland is blazing into revolt, land the
government cannot understand or deal with
facts at all; and can only talk" Those who
revolt without the support Of any facts
should consult those who understand acting
from the facts; and thus revolt and govern
ment are not within the reach of all. Trinity
students and the informed part of the popu-
lation resisted attempt to take money
from the Bank of Ireland.
Paragraph nine: British prestige has be-
come a byword in the marketplaces of the
world" Consult the statistics of trade and
the quality of goods sold and you will find
that "byword" fades and that the prestige is
real.
Paragraph ten asks question: ais Eng
land awake" is the question asked every re-
turning traveller in France and Russia Yes
and no. England has Galipoli and Bagdad
to answer for All the fleets of the Allies
took part at Gallipol They are equally re-
sponsible. And all took part in the decision
to retire. No one surrendered, and all must
share oboquy if there be any. Verdun is
not settled yet
Paragraph twelve: "The colonies sent their
sons to slaughter in Gallipoli, Anzac, Flan
ders and Ypres because the British will not
see, will not understand"
The other soldiers are getting killed as
well as them in the war; and this shows
either a small attempt at trouble creating
among the colonists toward the British gov
eminent or to put Britain in contempt with
the Allies. This trouble breeding by Re-
publican American newspaper is accepted at
face value.
The Frenchmen are made to say. What is
the meaning of all this British talk about
crushing Germany" The French govern
ment declared war against Germany before
Great Britain did; they must have had some
idea of doing crushing to Germany or they
would not have started. Now when the work
seems hard for them they need not ask Great
Britain wha. all this talk is about.
London wandering in darkness, with
neither statesmen nor generals, looking up
and expecting Zeppelns of which they have
TO adequate defence" Il is doubtful if there
could be an adequate defence We know that
London and Britain had as many aviators as
any nation, and many attacks had been re-
pelled.
"The Allies may win the war; and yet Eng
land may fail to readjust herself, TO find her
self" Britain has adjusted herself before;
she had as opponents four nations in 1916
and adjusted herself afterward; and it is an
assumption to say she will be in worse shape
than the others.
Britain recognizes that the Germans are
brave and strong and in the past has as
sisted them in many ways, and don't claim
a complete monopoly of Gods attention or
care.
"Kut-el-Amara is sign and signal or
symbol. blazing Dublin is an evidence and
& revelation" II God sent Kut-el-Amara as
a sign and symbol He also sent boatoad
of provisions. which got stuck in the mud OF
the river a few miles away; and this shows
good intention on the part of God toward the
British. Blazing Dublin was quenched by
His favor and rioting suppressed.
