When Lord Kitchener stated, during the winter, that the war would really begin in May, peo- ple began to hope that by late summer the worst would be ver and Christmas would see peace, Here we are at the twentieth day of May and there is no sign of an immediate advance on any large scale. Even people who are naturally optimistic are beginning to have doubts as to the possibility of a speedy of hostilities. Instead of a rapid advance, we have ex- ending perienced a check on the ex- treme left of the western front, and, in the east, the Russians appear to have had a serious set-back. On the = surface, there are not many signs which make for encouragement, though in the last few days tl:2 Allies have made comparative- ly big advances in France. In of stances, some people are in- clined to question the ability of Lord Kitehener to handle such view these circum. a huge campaign successfully. Some have been digging up his past history and find that he has never conducted a really big campaign. His successfui campaigns in the past have been chiefly against an inferior foe, and in South Africa he simply completed what Lord toberts began. In the first place, it is wel! to remember that no military commander, in any age, has ever been called upon to under- take such a huge task as has been laid upon the shoulders of | Kitehener. In this, he is in aot worse position than any of the other leaders. The present war is being carried out on a scale and under conditions never experienced before. The total number of men engaged on both sides at Waterloo was only about 600,000; today that The field of Waterloo occupied only a very is a mere fraction. few miles of territory; the present fields cover several hundreds of miles. In fact, Waterloo was a mere incident. | FRED STORK’S HARDWARE aegine Thursday, May 20, 1915. $.S. PRINCE RUPERT 8.8. PRINCE q On Fridays—®9 a. m.
