It's great to sail before tho mast and be a Boisheviki, no matter if the ship Is fast or If it's slow and leaky, for none may come upon the book for breach of regulations and no one labors but the cook upon these sea vacations.

 The bo'sun shouts, "BelGy! belay!" in accents deeply throated. The crew in chorus answers "Nay!" AfflrHa- tive outvoted. And next appears the bucko mate who bellows, "Fun the anchor" They quickly make him pull his freight and trim his running spanker On everything they take 6 vote preceded by discussion; they make the hapless captain goat md call him names in Russian.
 They vote what course the ship shall steer and who shall box the com pass, and when they want their rum and beer they raise an awful rumpus Before they brace the mainsail stays they have to take a ballot. The chairman calls for ayes and nays and hammers with his mallet. And every day they hold debate in deep delibera- ton, and modify and masticate the rules of navigation.

Alden. Persia and the North West Frantier of India. Already Great Britain has captured nearly eight hundred thousand square miles (800 O00) of German colonies; Togoland CaIneroons, South West Africa, Kia- chou, Pacific Islands, and over a quarter of East Africa. Already there fore, she holds a very solid asset against the territories captured by Germany In her first f1amboyant rush.

She has undertaken all the machinery of the blockade and censor ship on an unprecedented scale, and though this has drawn upon her the criticism of neutrals, it may fairly be said that considering the nature of the undertaking and It's vast scope, lt has been worked with unprecedented eff ciency. Here and there. by one detail or another, irritation has been caused; but to the disintercsted spec.ator of the enormous whole. if such spec tator could be found-the abiding miracle is that it could be done at all.

In Hamburg and Bremen to which the world -end steamers" with a tonnage of millions, two years ago were bringing annually a larger share of the worlds wealth, we hear today, of food riots.
 If France had been asked. in the early days of the war, what help she would expect from England, she would have replied in all probability the help of the British navy. and perhaps an eXpeditionary force of 150.000 men" It would hardly have occurred to any of the allies that the greatest naval power should be asked to play the part of the greatest military power. But that was the implied expectation of many hasty minds in neutral countries. Nevertheless, behind the shield of the navy, in less than two years, the origi- nal six divisions of the British army Q20,000 mem became over five million (5,041 ,000) before the introduction of compulsory service. The training of the officers alone was a gigantic task. 1t may help Americans to realize the the ma gnitudo of this effort if one points out that the United States, in proportion to the population, would have to raise an army of about four teen million mon. completely officered, to compare with it.
 Moreover if one is asked for dcfi- mite results at this particular stage and, before this great new army has really got to work, one may point out that the movements of the Allies are

 A recent visitor to America who was asked by the newspaper reporters after their usual fashion. what had im- pressed him most in his first glimpse of New York, replied: The spectacle of the German ships imprisoned in New York harbour.

 All this has changed almost instan- taneously, by the silent power of the British fleet. We have heard much of what Germany could do by pressing a button. If it be asked what the British Empire is doing in the war, it would be almost enough to point to that frightened fleet in New York harbour: for whatever else may happen in the
