FOURTH WINTER OF WAR.
CHEEKING MESSAGES
LONDON, December 2
The Christmas number of the Overseas Club organ contains the following messages:— Lord Derby: The fourth winter finds the army unimpaired in strength and morale, while signs aie evident that the reverse is the caee with our enemies. I am confident this is the last winter before peace
Sir William Robertson: I am convinced the issue largely depends on staying power. Therefore, I am confident 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 fires of peril and sacrifice can ever be broken?
General Birdwood: We have not yet reached the point when the greatest demand is to be made on our fortitude and resources. It is natural after three years of devastating war that some should cry "Let's call a draw." There cannot be a draw with a nation who has banished chivalry from its banner and honour from its creed.
