army for the defense of Great Britain was not
necessary. Our navy could perform that task.
and it was a purely defensive force. We were
a non-militarist nation, and before this war
any Government of Great Britain proposing
to pile up munitions of war, after the manner
of Germany, would have been driven from
power without shrift. All our interests de-
manded peace; we were committed TO vast
social reforms, and we were thinking of them
and not of war.
We went to war because we were in honor
bound so to do; TO defend Belgium whose
neutrality had been violated and her people
sacrificed; to prevent France being reduced to
a third-rate power; to prevent all Western
Europe being given over to the German con-
queror
Before this war came we estimated our
mUnitions-supply for garrison in India and
for expeditionary force of 100000 men, and
no army has ever gone forth TO war more
splendidly equipped than the force which went
from England to Flanders in the Autumn Of
last year. But it was not enough. We found

Germany's Preparedness
impossible in England.

Germanys sinister preparedness enabled ner
armies to occupy some of the most important
industrial centres of French Flanders and Rus
sian Poland; and Woolwich, Sheffield and
Birmingham have had to take over the work
of Lille and LodZ.
And yet, at the present rate of progress 1t is
certain that we shall ere long produce enough
to supply ourselves and to give further help
to our allies-that, in fact, shall overhaul
and surpass the German supply of munitions
during the next phase of the war.
With time on our side, We shall prove equal
TO this gigantic task; but we cannot perform
miracles. 1t would have been a miracle If We
had had munitions enough for the unexpected
demand. In spite Of all scepticism we have
done greatly more than might reasonably have
been expected.
But what about that big Kitchener army Of
yours? The Germans say 1t is bluff. They
assert cynically that IL is rational economy
to minimize your output Of munitions when you
have no men to handle them"
Lacking in men? A fasco in recruiting? No
reproaCh could be more ludcrOusly undeseryed
and at variance with the facts. The self.

populations have trained or are training $50 600

total strength of the British standing army

How the British Fleet
Has Stopped German Commerce.

Well, that is the one thing it cannot do. II
takes two fleets to make battle. To meet
the German battle squadrons in the open sea
is what we have been asking for since the
beginning of the war. If the interested neutral
thinks We should meet it by ramming our
dreadnoughts against the ring of mines behind
which it lies In hiding. hardly know how
shall counsel together. Mines are mines, and
they can lay intrepid dreadnoughts low at no
cost save that Of the making.

for him to pay his depositors, who
had become alarmed by the failure of
several private banks. He made vain
attempts to borrow $4,000 to tide
over the emergency.
