Wa Minister. last week delivered q speech
in the classmates of the Verdun citadel which
moved the defenders to tears. He was the
guest of General Dubois, who with other
mudstained officers had come in from The

fees and glory. After a dramatic pause
during which all heads were bent, the Brit
ish War Minister raised his hand with a
gesture that made all officers leap to their
feet and lifting his glass, he said: $40
