~ Britain’s Outlook

The long weeks of foreed inac-
tion on the western front, -con-
trasted with thé rapid advance
of Germany in the east and her|:
forcing of her peace terms on
Russia, Rumania and Finland, do
not tend to make the Allies more
cheerful, And just at this junc-
ture we are informed that British
shipbuilding has fallen down sad-
sy. and even now the great ship-
yards -on the Clyde are idle
because of some labor difficulty,
And while General Maurice com-
forts us by saying trat the Allied
superiority in men is diminishing
steadily on the western front,

Bonar Law gives us some more .

of the same kind of comfort by
assuring us thatif the Germangy
choose tu attack the Allies at
Saloniki it may be impossible to
resist them. And meanwiile Sir
Edward Carson atlacks Sir Erie
Geddes for removing Sir John
Jellicoe, suggesting to the public
mind that a mistake has been
made in this most important
matter, It is stnall wonder that
the average Britisher, listening
to this tale of woe, is ready to
believe almost anything. But
the war Is not over yet, and des-
pite all her bragging we do not
think that Germany relishes the
idea of trying to smash her way
through the western linea, And
it is evidently now or never, And
if Germany fails to smash the
' Allied line it is only a question of
time before the Allied troops
will be across the Rhine. The
German high command officials
are anxious to frighten Britain
with the threat against India, but
they know only too well that if

_ their western line does not hold,

their. entire program of Russian

conquests will be utterly worth-|]
"less,

Germany cannot win save
‘by smashing the western front,
and al her spectacular successes
elsewliere have not perceptably

improved ‘her chances there,

-The-Allies have not lost the battle
‘and they are not going to Jose it.

The fact that 150,000,000 English- p:

‘speaking people are -pledged to
see. it: through | in a fact we can
not afford to ignore. - ‘Britain and
the - Uniled States ‘have never
before fought. shoulder to shoul-
der, but they are doing it ‘now, |,
and the fact. is one: oniinovia to

To the Tuscania’s Dead.

{Your weapons yet unsheathed you rest

Comrades, benehth our British watera
sleeping, °
To whom death came thus early on!
the tide,
There eomes to us the sound of wo-
men’s weeping
For those in whom we share their
country’s pride.
You struck no blow in that high cause
you cherished
While day by day you learned the
soldier’s trade,
Yet was your task accomplished when
you perished,
Calm-eyed and undismayed.

Me

Not yours to know the joys of high
endeavor
Amid ‘the crash and thunder of our
war,

for ever
And home and kin shall know your
light no more,
But in our inmost hearts is writ your

story,
Nor pride of place nor ‘honor shall
you yield
To those who yet shail » win a crown of |;
glory

On some victorfovs field.

And to-the hearts whose pride it is to
render

Their best and dearest in these cruel |

days
There speeds a message infinitely ten-
der
From us who know the price that
freedom pays.
We knew you not, whose heart was
atrong to aid us,
But let the manner of your passing
tell
Our common kinship to the sires that
made us. ; -
Hail, brothers, and farewell!
