THE TESTING TIME FOR BRITAIN
CHRISTMAS MESSAGES TO THE OVERSEAS PEOPLE. London, December 2. The Christmas number of the organ of the Overseas Club contains the following messages: — ■ Lord Derby: "The fourth winter finds the Army unimpaired in strength andvmorale, whilo signs are evident that the reverse is the case with our enemies. I am confident that {his will be the last winter before peace." Sir William Robertson: "I am convinced that the issue largely depends upon our staying power. I am therefore confident that victory will be ours." Lord Milner: "The Mother Country and her children'are one to-day in the common hour of danger. "Who will venture to say that the bond forged in the fires of peril and sacrifice can ever bo broken?" General Sir W. R. Birdwood: "We have not yet reached the point when the greatest demand will be made upon our fortitude and resource. It is natural that, after three years of devastating war, some should cry, 'Let us call it a draw.' There cannot be a draw with a nation which has banished chivalry from its banner and honour from its creed." —Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
