A MAN AND EVERYBODY.
We like the man who is certain about something in spite of everybody else. There is something refreshing about him. i
, There is a man who is certain that the earth is flat, in-spite:of everybody else's idea thai it is round. There is a man who is certain that Bacon wrote Shakespeare. And were there not Three Tailors of Tooley Street who were certain that they were All England? - This time it is Field-Marshal Sir George Milne, Chief of the Imperial General Staff. What he is certain about is that there will be another war. "in spite of everybody else's idea of perpetual peace." We hope the rest of the world will not be downhearted. We are not as certain about anything as our well-in-formed Field-Marshal, but we believe that in the case of Everybody's Idea of Peace and' Sir George Milne's Idea of War the victory will be with Everybody. If he will let us say so, we are sure that to be defeated in such a cause will please nobody more than FieldMarshal" Sir George Milne. 1
