BRITISH FREEDOM OF CRITICISM

things democracy cherishes go by the
boards.

the enemy. There is not the same kind
of free press, if that free press will
aid the enemy. Everything is bent and
twisted to the one stern object of win
ring the war that democracy itself
may live
But even with this theory and this
practice. there still exists in England
an extraordinary frankness of criticism
not TO be tolerated for one moment
in Germany, strikingly exhibiting the
difference between democracy and
autocracy.
A king can do no wrong That is
the Prussian of il.
Administrators can do wrong That
is the English of il. And this despite
the fact that certain newspapers. maga-
zines and speakers have been muZzled
by the British authorities
There are three striking instances Of
free criticism in England, of profound
interest to every American who wishes
to see his country win this war.
Early in the conflict. when Sir John
the Germans and Kitchener was still
the hero par excellence, the military
critic, Colonel Repington. had the cour

Nobody need turn up contemptuous
nose at the announcement, either. The

that about s1,500, 900, 900 could be saved
by the reclamation of all the old stuff

THE TIME.

This Is a great time to lie afive.'
You hear that said often You have
said il yourself, without doubt. 1t Is
great time. The two most powerful
ideas of the race are in collision as they
have never been before; we feel our
selves to be fighting for freedom against
oppression. The torch OF human I'D
erty that has somehow been Kept ailght
through the dark ages, and has plaZed
so brilliantly in the great moments OF
history, the torch that has been our
light, and whose flame has been ted
with precious blood, must not be ex-
tingushed. Again, whatever the cost'
we must see to It that 1t keeps blaz-
ing. Let it go out now and work ana
the suffering of the ages goes for moth
ing
All of us people who up till now
have gone our more or less tranquil ana
uneventful way. with no thought or
making history. with no especial care
for world facts and the great need OF
nations, we must do our best to Keep
that torch burning.
That is why this is great time 10
he alive Even our small and least
considered acts take on the shade OF
greatness. All we do tends to help or
to hinder the immense work OF rate
Your very meals are consecrated 70
freedom, or are inimical to 1t. Your
careless words may be filled with I'M
portance, may work for bitter harm or
tip the balance toward ultimate success
You are "in 1t" quite as much as the
soldier in the trench, and II you are
a Stacker or a coward, IL you prefer
personal ease to work for the great
end II you grumble or despair, If you
whine and murmur, you are a traitor
to your duty and your opportunity you
have no place in this great time.

BEAUTIFUL FOREST DOOMED.
War COmpels Stripping Of Timber from
English Landmark,

all its timber toward meeting one of the
war needs. The wood covers 311 acres.

feet. There are many thousands of
trees, large proportion being ripe for

trustees that they must make choice
now as to what shall be done. They are
given the option Of at once bringing the
whole of the timber into commercial
use, or Of having It Communicated by
the department. The speaker of the
house Of commons and his eldest son
are the trustees Of the estate and Mr..
Lowther will be at Penrith next week
when a decision will be arrived at.
The stripping will be a big task. One
estimate made on Monday afternoon by
a gentleman who is an expert, is that
to fell the whole of the timber and make
it available for early use would involve
an expenditure of not less than 1000
pounds. Last week fourteen public
school boys who have been camping in
Lowther park were employed in assist

as a preliminary to the telling and
they have not yet finished. Engines and
mills will be needed for the saving, in
addition to the big requirements in the
way of horses and manual labor.

town has no occasion to hide her head In
shame. Maryland has answered the call
for men for the fighting ships-answered
it to the full. Has any other state done
quite so well 7 Not one. we are assured

done better. The indications this morning
were that Maryland stands out with the
splendid distinction Of being the one state
TO furnish the full quota called for by the
Navy Department within. the prescribed
time limit. Baltimore is proud of the boys
who have stepped out" and answered the
call. About 20 per cent. Of them were
born and reared in this city. but Baltimore
is proud Of all Of them-those that are
from the counties-those that have come
from across the boundary lines they are
our boys.
These 800 have volunteered they have
not waited for the selective draft. Their
names are to 60 on the big bronze tablet
which Maryland will place in the State
House at Annapolis. These young men
have answered the highest call Of citizen

country, the call to fight for a righteous
idea. They are the Saint Georges who
