The War.
THE events of the past week in France and Russia, as recorded in the cablegrams which have been received from time to time, have given people a good deal more confidence in the progress of events, and there is a distinctly less pessimistic note in the remarks one hears regarding the situation.
However, while there is much room for gratification at the progress that is being made, we should guard against being too elated at the success, for such an advance as has been achieved could only be made at a cost of great loss in life and ammunition, and of great exhaustion on the part of those who made it. If the ground gained can only be held, we may safely consider that the War is appreciably nearer conclusion.
The news will surely result in a more determined effort being made to supply sufficient men and munitions to push on more quickly to victory, and any thought of resting on our oars is to be strongly deprecated.
