Hence .his use of poison gas, his abu4 of air the la^Vs of God and man, his wholesale murder of the helpless wherever he finds them, and all the deviltries hv which he has dirtied war on sea and land and in the air. For all of which as a nation he must be destroyed from ofl; the Life is and always will be a battle for the nation as for' Ij the individual, and it is because we allowed ourselves to be deluded by all the modernistic bilge about th e power of speech to settle all things in. dispute that we now find ourselves not so ready as we should have been. It was,m vain that Winston Churohill and a few other leaders- with a faith in sin and no faifh whatever in the German-told us just what was being prepared for us. Even we in our insignificant role here tried editorially to do our, bit in the same way, and only achieved for our pains, as did they, unpopularity and the name of "militarist." If in the. past we peoples of the Empire have preserved an ostrich-like attitudfe to the disagreeable, let us ■ now face the deluge we have brought upon ourselves in the spirit of our forefathers, because, i f w€-d,o, we have un- , questionably the capacities and the resources to ride the flood to final vcitory. - i. The German Navy can scarcely again be a serious factor, and the bomber 'h a s proved its o|wn impotence against "the battleship. The Hun, it is true, ha's made progress in France, but at a price, he cannot afford to pay, even although he m ust win quickly or not at all. For the British and French arm ies have so far only retired in good order, th e y have not yet struck, and the extended bulge presents possibilities in the way of a, counter ^stroke.-vyhich .plight, very well result in a . third Marne.
