NO ROOM FOB DOUBT. There is no doubt of this among our Allies. There is no longer any excuse for doubt among our enemies. There is reason to believe that our enemies thought us divided, decadent, unready of effort, contemptible in military resource. If they have .any sense of reality, the facts must have shattered that illusion, and they must now appreciate the formidable menace they have provoked and the intolerable burden they have-assumed. It is to be hoped that this awakening has come to them, or will come to them soon; for it will bring the world nearer to the achievement of that purpose which, as the King said, must precede our laying down of the sword. —"Daily News."

EFFECT OF HEAVY ARTILLERY

The effect of heavy artillery is chiefly moral; its huge shells are intended to terrify rather than to kill. But these ponderous weapons are wasted against men who christen theirs, projectiles "Black Marias" and " JaeH Johnsons" with that inimitable touch of derision which puts an excellent heart into all. The same spirit -of robust optimism breathes in the dispatches of the Com-mander-in-Chief of the British expeditionary force,- and has deeply impressed the world. —"Manchester Guardiau."
