Mr. Chamberlain sincerely congratulated his old friend Mr. Baldwin and hoped he would guide ed successfully
the Government with the same courage and initia- by arms and für-
tive as he had showed in the budget and debt-fund- ther sacrifices ing agreement. He heartily wished him success would be in vain. The continuance, of the struggle in arms is not wise and other means must be sought to safeguard the nation's right. Laying aside arms now is an act of patriotism. The message finally suggests that the people should again rally to the standard after rest and recovery,
A captured order of the Irregular Chief of Staff likewise acknowledges that the "enemies of the Republic" have momentarily prevalled, though it intimates that arms will not be surrendered..
