"NATIONAL EQUANIMITY."
DISTURBED BY DARDANELLES LOSSES.
LONON, May 31.-
The "Timed," in a leader, "says the loss of the battleships in the Dardanelles is a grave matter, which has struck deep at the national equanimity, which was already seriously disturbed. If the nation thereby realises the position more plainly, the losses will not. have beon wholly in vain. It is necessary that all should cease speculating on the early end of the war, and face the existing facts without anger or fear. While present conditions obtain we will probably lose other battleships, ft is certain that the new Government is carefully considering the Dardanelles problem. Britain is paying heavily for her unpreparedness and her subsequent reluctance to face the full requirements of the position. She has awakened now, and is realising that every other consideration must be subordinated to the necessity of beating Germany.
