THE MAN IN A HURRY.

Why the recent British cabinet up
heaval, the changes in military and
naval leadership, the seeming de-
parture from typical British calmness
in the face of an emergency?
: Are Britons frightened? Are they
beginning to have doubts Of the ulti-
mate result of the greatest armed
clash Of the ages? Are they ''getting
cold feet? Decidedly not Just as
Rome is the Eternal City, so to every
He believes, as an article of faith,
that it cannot be destroyed 1t is i'm
mortal, and all the war lords Of the
universe could not overthrow it. Left
to himself, the average Britisher
mighttbe content to plod along, taking
his time at the job, serenity confident
that the end would come in due
course, and that end a good one.
But now Great Britain is in a
hurry. There are of course many
reasons for this haste to put an end
to the job, but the principal one is
Alfred Charles William Harnsworth,
Lord. Northcliffe.
Lord Northc1iffe is Great Britain's
man-in-a-hurry. He has always been
in a hurry. And, as the controlling
factor in the London Times, the Lon
don Mail, and other great publica-
tions, he breaches the gospel of hurry
to millions. They have caught the
contagion. Their goal is victory, and
they want to get there quick. If any
man or combination of men entrusted
with civil or military responsibilities
fail to get results, then try other COM
binations.; That is the Northcliffe
policy, and it seems to have become
the policy of the British people.
David Lloyd George, as the most en-
ergetic and dynamic of British states
men. naturally appealed to Lord North
cliffe and his tremendous popular fol-
lowing.
Lord Northcliffe has always been in
a hurry. He injected the, spirit OF
hurry into the ponderous machinery
Of British Journalism. He was in a
hurry to own a newspaper, he was in
a hurry to own string of journals
| he was in hurry to get rich, he was
in a hurry to win title, and now he
| is in a hurry to end the war.

"COMMON SENSE. -

'"These are the times that try mems
souls" Such were the opening words
of pamphlet issued lao years ago
today, bearing the title Of Common
Sense" and written by Thomas Paine,
an Englishman who had been stay
maker, an exciseman and a; Dissent
ing preacher in his native land, and
who had emigrated to America in
1774, becoming editor of the Penn
sylvania Magazine. Common Sense
was perhaps the most powerful po-
litical pamphlet ever written. The de-
mand for it was so great that all the
available presses gould not turn it out
fast enough, but more than 100000
copies were soon sold. BY reading it's
terse, decisive sentences the people of
the Colonies were fired with a deter
,mination to achieve complete indie
pendence.

SHOWS STRENGTH OF HILLouIr
AND WEAKNESS oE MAYOR.

A variety OF deductions may be drawn
from these figures. They would indl-
cate. first. that Hylan leads In that
section OF the extreme east side OF
Manhattan, from Houston Street north
to oath Street. with Hillquit close
second. They would also indicate that
Mayor Mitchell in this section OF town
is running fourth, behind Bennett, but
both OF these candidates are far behind
the other two. The strength OF Hill
quit and the weakness OF the Mayor
stand out az a striking feature.
In the Socialist column there Is
opportunity for much speculation on
the part OF political sharps The poll
Indicates that this party promises to
sweep the lower part of the east side,
particularly in Republican Leader
koenig's home region. The change OF
political affiliations from last year
shows that In the Sixth District Hill
quit Is drawing nearly twice as many
votes from the Republicans as from
the Democrats. But In Leader Muir
phys Twelfth District the oppo-
site condition prevails. There the So.
clalists are drawing far more from
the Democratic side. 206 Democrats

Another interesting deduction Il
