BRITISH INETuCIENCY.

There Is TO be radical change in
the machinery Of the British govern
ment The council, consisting Of
twenty-throe members, is 70 be re-
placed by one Of not more than five
members, who are TO have charge Of
the war ana an things relating to the
war
From the first the British govern
menl has been inefficient II has
acted too late, blundored too ogro-
Fiously fumblod when skin was ex-
pectcd and demanded
The first great blun3er was when
The troops sent to the Galipoli pen
insula were not promptly reinforced,
Tho campaign ended disaslrously. af-
ter the allies had lost moro mon
killed than the total necessary 10 In
sure success, had they boon sent TO
the peninsula other than a few thous-
and at a time for the purpose Of fill-
ing rops
The next great blunder was whom
only few thousand men were landed
bl salouild to assist the SertAans. Ser
bia was oyerrun, ana the thirteen
thousand British soldiers could rem
der no effective aid.
Then there was The unfortunate
Townshond expedition which got in
sight Of Rngdad and was compelled
10 surrender at Kut-el-Amara. By
tlis fiasco British prestige suffered
enormously IN the east
Enough men we're sent to each Of
these places to insure success, If they
had only been sent In time. They
were sent too late, and for the pro-
crastnation the British government
was responsible It delayed, and
fumbled, and failed.
Now comes the Rumanian flasco.
Rumania was induced to enter the
war on assurance that she would DO
amply supported by the allies. Rus
sia was 70 attack ana dld attack
furously and successfully, ana the
British ana Frcneh attacked in the
west But nothing worth while was
done In the Balkans. The forces
from Saloniti were feeble in their
offensive, ana the armies under Fal-
kenhayen and Mackonsen have NOV
cd toward bucharest with little OPP
position.
Naturally the people Of Great Brit
ain are weary of the failures. The
fine phrases Of Asquith arc not sat
isfactory substitute for success. Lloyd
George has asserted that he would
resign unless q more effective system
of government was uauEuratod.
Some sort Of change is 10 be madc,

1--WE must admit freely that much
Of our talk about art is entangled in
technical phrases This often acts as
a veil to hide from us the more subtle
but real charms of art. The notion
that art is something abstruse and
hard to understand, the possession of
the few has kept us from realizing
the great truth that art is really only
human history made imperishable.
The story that art tells is the most
fascinating ever told. It is the story
that every human being with any pre-
tense to culture or education must
know. 1t is the chronicle of human
history in forms Of permanent beauty.
We must know It to enjoy nature,
painting the opera, literature. Art
ana Archaeology.
