Manifestly this noriod ha been much too short wherein to compete with the staff ef flclcncy of a military machine of 40 years' standing. ( Bui If Britain's successes In the field have not been overly brilliant,; no one will dispute that her achieve-; ment in recruiting, organizing, train-; ing, and equipping an army of more than fivo milloin men since the war began and on the voluntary prlnci-j too has been one of the niar-i history. Adding to this number those who have been brought In under tho re cent conscription act somewhat less tha na million and those employed In the munitions and naval ship building Industries, the second an niversary of the war finds approxi mately eight million men and wo men directly engaged in war work or In other vords, one person out of ev ery six in the United Kingdom. This feat is all the more remark able when one considers that Brit ain was not a military nation.

Germany's armies are today Just as much unsmashed as they were two years ago. Tho otit pOBts may be regarded as negligible. Of llttlo moro account, Jn their border aspects, have been the mis fortunes of the allies In Galllpoli, Mesopotamia, and tho Balkans. The last year on tho western front hns been ono of the stale-mute. There have been tremendous losses on both sides, but the lines or tho opposing armies follow much the same course as they did In August of 1915. Ench has bitten a few slices out of the other's territory: certain important positions have been captured and some of them have been recaptured, but ono requires a lar:o-scalo map and fairly good eye-Bight to detect the changes. Tioth armies, their louses rocruited. remain unbroken. Under tho now style of Intensive trench warfare which has been stead ily developing on this front during tho two years, the defenses of each' have apparently become Impregnable The objective of tho "big push" in these latter days Is not so nV'ch to break through to tho Rhino, or to the channel ports, as It Is to Inflict the greatest possiblo damago upon tho other Bide. "Attrition" has become tlie motto on the western front for both armies. Granted enough powerful guns, with sufficient ammunition, concentrated upon any ono sector, either may at any tlmo clean up tho Intervening wiro entanglements, demolish tho op posing front line trenches and occupy their ruins only to find further pro ! gross blocked by more Intrlcnto nnd I more elaborate defences In the rear. Ypres, Loos. Iloogo nnd oven Verdun ar no longer of especial consequonco ; In tho military sense. They nre merely geographical points with much more geography, even more strongly defended, spread out be hind them. Great Ilrltaln still Is paying the penalty of unprejiaredness; or If yen don't llko It put that way, Germany still Is reaping the fruits of prepar edness. That Sir Douglas Halg has failed seriously to dent the enemy's lines Is no greater reflection upon his military skill than the failures of his predecessor. General French, were upon his. True, he has had moro Hen, and. within recent months.: thanks to tho organizing genius of, Lloyd George, more, munitions hut ! be hns had a longer line to cover. The Urltlsh now occupy trenches extend-! Ing from the Channel of Maricourt : with the exception of a very small -sector held by tho Flelglans a totnl t distance of more than 100 miles, or ; nearly one-fourth of the entire west-! ern front. Furthermore, he Is main-: talning henvy reserves, subject tot any cnll for help from the French. i Uut Hnlg's armies are suffer'nc from the same defect ns those of his predecessor: they are Inadequately officered, especially In staff depart ment. In nearly every Instance stnea the war started, where the Prltlsh; armies have met with reverse or have! failed to attain the Immediate oh-; Ject of thrtlr offensive, this has been ! direct'- traceable to Inefficient co-! ordination of stiff work. The rea-j son is verv simnle: H ha he?n a game of amateurs ncainrt prnfes-: sionals. England lost many of her! most capahlo and promising officers j In the early day, of the war She has not only to fill their places, but to train others In sufficient numbers to supply an army that Is now ten vision that caused the British public to pile upbn one mnn's shoulders what eventually proved too gigantic a bur den for him or any other man to bear. There Is no discredit to the mem ory of the lnte war secretary In say ing that he failed, In part . As an organizer and trainer of human war material he was superb. England's new army was properly labeled "Kitchener's Army". On the me chanical side ot modern warfare, he was lacking In genius. Then England woke up. It was suddenly realized that this was no one man's war. Lloyd George was made minister of munitions with authority to commandeer the Indus tries of tho country. INVITATION ltECEIVEO.
