gains in the Nerdun sector were not repeated on any field. Slowly and alincst insensiOly the hosts were driven back by the Entente. But they were driven back; they were obliged to admit that they were not invincible.
 The promise of submarine victory speedily had to be postponed and again p~stpored. And in the mean tioe within the confines of the German empire insufficient food. with strenuous effort gnawed uncessagsingly through the armor of solidarity that the years of discipline had en caacd the German people, E.gh ana tow rich and poor.

DISINTEGRATION.

News now indicates that in Ger many the masses are beginning to revolt. There are signs not want ing that they feel that they have suffered enough The mutiny of the sailors and insubordination of sold iers as well as the complaints of the union laborites that their orga- 'nizations arcbeing suppressed indi- cate that there is turmoil within.
 Germany has been like solid rock up to this to all her foes. The lowest peasant and the highest noble supported the Kaiser with unanimity of loyal sentiment that was little short of amazing.
 Within England within France and even within Russia there were discordGnt voices. But within Ger many everything was unity and na- tional solidarity. Germany's ene- mics affected to despise them for this: the truth is that it compelled reluctant admiration. It was mary .allous although if it's cause is to be

Long," Not even when those wars were one of great and glorious and lasting achievements but did the people achieving them cry for peace with the longing that could not be suppressed.
 We are therefore fully justified in expecting it among the nations in this war also, for there has never been a war so calculated to arouse every sentiment of revolt against the continuance of it's barDar.sm md it's inhumanity. Certainly in dications are now clear that this stage has at last becn reached by not few of the German people. It is therefore only a matter of time when it will be the dominan' force within the nation and exert itself effectively upon the situation which the German people have got to real ize and to face in the end

PASSING IT ON.

John R>dmoud is apparently sa- tisfied that the so-caEcd Irish con vention is to be 9 failure. And JoLn Redmond is q profess!ona politician so hc is not going to stand by and accept the burden Of thai failure himself. at least not willing ly. He wants to pass it along.
 It is an ancient custom ill Ire land to blame everything on the un:onists. They were held re5pons- lble for the evils of lardlocd!sm. for the cvictions, for the several things that might be used as st2pp ing stones for a rise to national aspiring parliamentary p9rty.
 Things are different now That difference is mainly brought about by Sein Finn And t,.e chief differ ence is due not 10 the uniCIiSt or nationalist individually or collective ly. but to the general disrepute of parliamentary politics and ooliti- ci"ns
 The convention was doomed to failure. Only in a country where The most implicit confidence was retained in the professional po!iti- cicEs coulG it have been successful. II was no: meant to be wh2t it was held out to be from the start. John Redmond knew it; Lloyd George knew it. But they do not appear to have known that the Irish people unionist, nationalist, Sein Finn all of them knew it as well.
 It was meant to fool the people CT a majority of the people. But the fact is that they could not get by with. Hence the Redmond fret fulness against the unioaists.
 It has been one of the longest of long suits of nationalist politics to maintain in Ireland a deep, lasting distrust between uniOniGts and na- iionalist Thereby tn" fcrVor of both was strengthened for the bene- fit of politicians. But the SCin Finn organization, if it has done no other good has compelled a realization that they are all one people, with different viewpoints, it may be, but all Irish just the same.
 The United Irishmen attempted the same thing; the Young Ireland movement also endeavored to bring this about-but the clever manipu- lation of religious antagonisms kept the two still apart. The Sein Primers however are more success full and their success, remarkably enough has been brought about not by exposing the error of unionist ways, but the cheap farce of the nationalist party politicians.

sought out there is hardly anything admirable to be found in it.
 Most of the other nations in the war were from a military point of view unprepared. And they turned with amazed and terrified eyes to Germany as race of supermen. American, English and French newspaper writers with the super fciality Of their class made un- friendly comment upon the German marvels in industry, militarist orga nization and technical conceptions which helped to further the gen cral notions that these were indeed d race Of exceptional people.
 There was not one that recog nized the fact that these things were brought about by an intense discipline, an intense education along specific lines and Hn intense energy that was tireles2 ard per sistent in it's desperation ot hard work extending over a number of years with one sole purpose in view and one Day when the results of that labor would be ultimately re- alized in the Sun of German great ness and world supremacy.
 Any man, community or nation that sets out with a distinct pur pose of accomplishing one thing. with that end and aim always i? view. at work, and at play, with that end and aim the reason for tireless labor that knows no remit ing, that man, nation or community will do as Germany has done and achieve as Germany has aschieved.
 The labor of those years, the dis cipline of those years. the concentra tion of those years bore fruit in the success of Germany and in no single instance was it's overwhelminS reult more definitely to be seen than in the national solidarity that German displayed to an amazed and. be it admitted. to q terrified world.
 Now when the war is pro wing somewhat changeful and unccr tain. the discipline of the years begins to wear off and things may be about the point when disintegration be- gins. The year 1917 has not been replete with the striking victories that marked the campaigns of 1916 The Verdun battle may have brought the Germans nowhere. but it centered attention upon the de- termination. the vigor of purpose and the g2llantry of soldiers that had before been everywhere victor ions. The Rumanian conquest was however glittering with the sheen , of brightest victory. Brilliant in conception and masterful fn it's me thod, the drive of Mackenzen's s forces brought a year of victory to close with unusual ecl2t.
