THE NATIONAL TEMPER.
The result of the great struggle, says Sir W. Ryland Atkins, M.P., in the "Contemporary Review," depends upcn the efficiency and success of our arms and the temper of the country. The importance of tho temper of a nation engaged in war cannot be overrated. The spectacle of united leadership in a unique crisis has struck the national imagination. In Oxford in September one hardly recognised one's own college, then "disguising itself as barracks. And so at Cambridge in November. A Masonic function, maimed of its ordinary rites, and with the unaccustomed toast at the supper of "Brethren now fighting for the Flag," brought back tho recollection how the one thing on all men's tongues was the best way of training British youth for the Avar. Every class is giving lavishly. Again, the national temper is seen in the absence of crime. During January, no Assizes were held for the County of Buckingham for the first/time within living memory, for there was no crime to be tried. The same is true of the
County of Huntingdon .... Ger many will find that Cromwell's Iron sides have como again.
