TALK ABOUT THE WAR.

•'}":• With the will to conquer, we are certain g: of victory.—M. l'olncare. ' The women of this country can help ns |.'. through to victory.Mr. Lloyd George. t'i Do not let doubt creep Into jour mind ,;*: .... the essential condition of victory M h patience— M. Paul Cambon. All the easy talk of peace Is but froth tpon the water when such a storm as this 5- la raglng.-Mr. Austen Chamberlain. jc. We are central, but if the name of ?, "frxemsjl Is to l.c changed again, we canS Bot guarantee to hold the printers.— ;i Tort Times.'' •j There are many of us who would poll a ;-' trigger at the Germans If we had a trigger to pull. The War Ix>an gives everybody a £- trigger.—"lxindon Star." B For us. hlzh or low, In whatever pro ;.; fesßlon we belong, there must be no boll--8 days till the great task is Anally accomI.•' plished. - r. Walter Long. ,'.-'. In the tenth month of the war we perV;', eelve that It Is with lis savants, engineers. /-;- artisans, and not with Its soldiers, that fjj6 Germany wages tbe most redoubtable war. ■1 i Senator Humbert In the "Nation." "'ii' Have yon noticed that Dr. Dernburg. :-■.-. Who says <;ermany has proved that h Britannia no longer rules tbe wares, aak» ! M to get Great Britain's permission for aim to go home?—" Philadelphia North American. ' There is perhaps nothing In all the archives of time more surprising than the failure of Germany to succeed as an Imperial rower. More than once she had Empire— unorganised Empire— within her grasp, and each time she let It W. She shattered the Western Empire of Rome, but she failed to establish herself nn the ruins. She could sclxe, but she conld not hold; the German people bare atter had the genius either for colonisation or for Imperial policy.—Sir Gilbert Parker.

Although the German sense of humour is elementary. It Is at least set ln motion hy eontempatlon of its own egregious diplomatists, a Dutch acquaintance, who was In Berlin for several week, not long »B°. tells mc of a uiuslcball show, at the Winter Garden. I think he naltf. To a supposed high Government official, oh the •Uge. comes an envoy from the Allies, •tatlng that tho latter were ready to give In on Germany's terms. England was prepared to surrender ber fleet and pay » nug6 " Indemnity. France would disband her array J and do ditto, Belgium was content to f remain under the German doable eagle, ' etc., etc. Tlie high German official expresses his satisfaction. "Bat stay." be -, »ayi, "there is one further condition. The ; ' Allies must take over the entire German dlplomatlc service. Tell them that." TM envoy disappears, to Teturn ln a twinkling. "The Allies will fight to tbe bitter end. ,' he announces, and tbe audience rocks with ! laughter.—"London Opinion." ,

It Is time the deadly red-tape of official England should be unwound. There are ' other places also where I would unwind It with a knife!— Dr. Horn Black, ln the "British Weekly." The true victory will not lie so much In the tactical gains on the battlefield to-day as in the quality of the men who have to carry on the work of the nation after the war Is over.—General Sir Robert UadcnPowell. i A Brussels printer has been fined £40 by the Germans for having printed a prayer ln which the phrnsc occurred, "Deliver ua from our enemies." This Is curious, as we understood that the Germans were now the friends of lhe Belgians.—•'Punch"." In an egg-laying competition ln New South Wales a white Leghorn established a world's record of 288 eggs. (.'an this patriotic fowl hare heard of our urgent need for shells?—" Books of To-dny and To-morrow.'' Some of the beat abelU uaed by the French lv this war have been turned out by American bedstead makers, firms baring no connection with military affairs of an army The Germans have complained bit terly' the efficiency of these particular American shells.
