THE SHIP'S LEAKAGE.

Sir,—A pretty spectacle our countrk presents at this crisis, -with the wrang* Img of politicians filling the air! To such a pass, our premature democratic Dig processesh have brought us. The ancient Romaic were wiser than thfi modern Britons. In'time of war, they appointed Dictators, and the cackling and braying of politicians subsided. W« are full of admiation for the literature; and art of the ancients. Why may we?not take their political and patriotic s measures as our example? We want ai reincarnated] Cromwell (the greatest Englishman who ever lived) to be oui supreme director, instead of a' shillw shally Government that knows no highe* wisdom than compromise. It has all ways happer.s:d that a Conservative GoW vernment has saved England, and maj •the present crew of wranglers give to a solid Unionist Government. Thkgf must be pretty hopeless when such i strong man and patriot as Mr. Lloyo George threatens to resign, for he i; England's hope to-day, and one would be glad to see hira Associated with Mr! Bonar Law. A Liberal Government i( very well in the "piping time of peace,'! but when "the blast of war blows tf our ears" such a Cabinet cannot up its sinews." We have now come, a( I believe, to the. supreme crisis of th( war, anditbeohves everybody to act ac' cordingly.—l am, etc., .' OIVIS BRITANNICTS.
