It is intensely gratifying to know that the old British tenacity is still as strong as ever, and that the Highlanders of today can emulate the daring of their grandfathers at Waterloo by charging solid columns hold- ing by the stirrup-leathers of the Scottish cavalry. The heart of every Briton must thrill as he reads of these things, but what the man in the street is waiting for is a real ding-dong sea fight. He is wearying to hear that the British bluejackets have knock- ed the German fleet to smith- ereens. Meantime, the naval warfare has been pretty much a game of chess, with Sir Joh Jellicoe proving himself a past-master in the game. In no war of the past have the high seas been so clear for the merchantmen of a_ belligerent country. When the time for striking does come, Jack will be right there as of old.

For the German naval man Jack has a supreme contempt. The German conscript is mere- ly a soldier helping to garri- son a floating fortress and will never be a sailor. Jack Tar is born with the tang of the sea in his blood, while the German is brought from the factory and the plow; forced to serve his three years; and then goes back to his ci- vilian vocation again. Gunnery plays a much more important part in naval war- fare today than in the past, and in this the British navy is sec- ond to none, but, as of old, sea- manship and courage are the supreme factors in a sea fight pnd British seamanship and courage must win. “wooden walls,” when he the enemy PEENERERRRRM RRR EERE REE MHD Punting Seating, and sheet metal work Western Plumbing Co., Ld ee eee eR OONORe Se eee RHEKKAKKKKERAKTKEEe BEAUTIFUL BREAD NOT TOO LIGHT!

The Germans have lost in France, Belgium and East Prus- sia, together with their vast losses in concert with Austria in Galicia, no fewer than 1,000,000 The Austrians in their con- flict with Russia and Servia have likewise lost another 1,00 ww men in killed, wounded and pris- oners, the latter being particu- larly numerous, owing to. the readiness of the Slav elements— about one-half of the total Aus- trian armies—to surrender to their fellow-Slavs. This leaves the Teutonic bellig- erents with four millions, to some extent made up of last-line re- sources—children, and men over 60 years of age.
