Naturally, when a spectacular op portunity arises, use tne declaration of war last April, we do wake up and do things. We buy bonds, and enlist. and drill ; we Join defense leagues, and knit, and make banduges, and all the rest of it feverishly, sincerely tak ing great credit to ourselves, mean while, for our unalloyed patriotism, and forgetting, by the way, that all the things we are doing, and mean to do, should have been foreseen, and done long ago, quietly, thoroughly, and as a matter of course.
