,Shrapnel has great and valuable uses, but
for smashing up the formidable intrench
ments of the enemy it is not of much more
use than sprinklAg them with watering
can. These things were pointed out, but
they were not sufficiently needed, and the
consequent loss of life has been grave and
lamentable.
The revelations which have been made
about the existing muddle in the manufact-
ure of war supplies have to great extent
been the cause of the political excitement
of the last two days. The episodes of the
Admiralty only served to bring the situa-
ton to a head. Among all parties there
is feeling that the government requires
to be reconstructed and strengthened,
though the precise direction of the con-
templated changes is still undecided.
Let us always remember, however, that
whatever Transformation the Ministry
may undergo, this paramount question Of
the supply CT shells will not be settled
though it should be facilitated, By a re-
arrangement of ministerial appointments
In its broader aspects it touches the whole
problem of the mobilization of the nation
Lord Lansdowne touched the real heart
Of the issue when he said in the House Of
Lords yesterday that we wanted "some
better organization of our resources, which
would enable us to use every man fit to
serve the country in such a manner as to
turn his qualifications, whatever they
might be, to the best possible use"
To accomplish such an organization we
require far more comprehensive ma
chnery, both for general and detailed con-
troll, than is at present available Lord
Kitchener has rendered Incompatible ser
vice by raising the new armies, but he can
not work miracles. In a struggle of this
magnitude it has long ceased to be really
possible for the Secretary of State for War
to raise and train the troops and also to
equip and supply them. The central fac
tor in any political changes now in prog
ress is unquestionably the absolute neces-
sity for relieving the War Office from the
general control of war supplies, which has
become a task requiring to great extent
separate direction. Toward this end
events are now moving, but the need has
become urgent, and prompt decision is
imperative.
What this country has done in the war
on land so far has been due more than
anything else, not to organization, which
has been seriously defective, but to the in
domtabe spirit and galantry of our
troops at the front. Their spirit remains
unbroken and astonishing, but we must net
tax it too far, or we shall have cause to
rue the result.
The need for employing the whole re-
sources of the country, in raising more
men, and in furnishing war supplies,
eclipses all considerations of party, and
to that purpose our entire national ener-
gies must henceforth be devoted.

Northclfe has done all that Greeley or
Dana desired that Pulitzer planned that
Hearst attempted. In word, he is the sue
cessful composite of what every great Ameri-
can publisher or editor wanted to be. Whether
he is a crisis monger, merchant Of clamor or
prophet of panic and depression as his enc

voice Of democracy, safeguard Of public lib

his friends and supporters attest), one fact
is certain: He is the lvelist and most vital
human entity in England man, alternately

that he has wrought. must be regarded as the
