THE PROBLEM AND HOW IT WAS BAAN 12 METASTI
[BY COL. F.N/MAUNE, 0.3.] There has been ranch comment and out ory, in the Press anent the apparent dis contafood in the several crepancies

To those, however, with their minds directed to this particular phase of the struggle for existence between Europe and Germany, the only thing these Press comments and contrasts reveal is the en- tire ignorance of the evolution of modern warfare during the last four decades that prevails among these self-constituted guides of public opinion.
In reality there is no discrepancy in tho utterances of these several statesmen. Each one is speaking the truth as he is constitutionally capable of appreciating it; the fore, because neither Mr. Asquith nor Mr. Lloyd George possety technical training and military knowledge of Ford Kitchener, the impression conveyed to the Lay, mind by their spoons is highly con- fusing.
The controversy began with Lord Kit chener's speech of March 16th, in which, in exceedingly measured language, ho spoke of grave anxiety na to the delivery of certain armament supplies, and, to the best of my recollection, only hinted at the disturbing cause, as evidenced in the Clyde district.
In the place Su which he made his speech, and under all the circumstances, he could scarcely have gone into the whale history of the introduction the of high explosive shells into British Service, or of the sudden change in opinion with regard to their value that had set in, in the Royal Artillery, since the beginning of the war. Probably the Secretary of State for War may have shared the prejudice against them that was almost universal among those who had fought in South Africa, when they were employed by us almost for the first time, under conditions entirely different to those which suddenly were established during the fighting on the Aisne.
CHANGED CONDITIONS.
But in this sudden change of opinion lay the good of the whole discussion which has since grown up, and has been causing unmitigated jubilation in the German nation.
The sequence of cause and effect is per- fectly simple, starting from this dat Level Our Expeditionary Force It these shores most abundantly equipped for the task that our military authorities then believed day before it. as Mr. Lloyd George has quite truly stated.
Having no other official experience or opinion to guide them, the initial con tracts for the armament and equipment cd all the numerous armies, whose forma- tion was at once decreed, were all based It could not on the scale then in force. have been otherwise.
Not till Odober did the change in con- ditions become sufficiently evident to jus tify the approval of an entirely new scalo of supplies in projectiles especially; and this scale could only be provisional in character, for wa were acquiring and as I similating knowledge day by day from hard experience,
When at length the full magnitude of the demands for heavy guns and ammu- nition became sufficiently pronounced to compel action, it was discovered that the response to recruiting appeals from the ranks of the skilled workers in metal, etc., had been so much greater than anyone had almost dared to expect within the limit of time, that everyone was bound to feel with Lord Kitchener grave anxiety as to whether the amounts required could be delivered to the dates stipulated.

Sir S. Eardley-Wilmot, a cousin of Mr. Henry Hadley, who was shot in u train in Germany on August 3rd by a German officer and died subsequently, tends to the Times some facts whidir con tradict the Berlin story of the crime. He mentions that after the shooting Mr. Hadley and his housekeeper were:-

LECTURER ON IMPOSSIBILITY OF RESTORING
REIMS CATHEDRAL,
There are many French cathedrals, where architecture reveals the intertwined end tangled histories of England and Frane. when Kings of England beli sway in Franes, and this is especially rue of the cathedral at Reims," said Mr. Banister Fletcher at the Royal Institu
In 1870, Mr. Fletcher, said, "Ger-
the cathedral was spared until to-day. At any moment the whole cathedral may he reduced to smoking ruins. The de struction of the cathedral is the coping- stone of German barbarism which the world will never forgive.
More especially was this anxiety justition. fied in view of the fact that the skilled men remaining behind had been work- man Kultur had not developed, and: ing remittingly for several months under an exceptional strain, and that the leadors of the unious, who, in fact, do not understand the psychology of the ment they claim to represent, were seizing the opportunity to embarrass the employers, who themselves were harassed beyond en- durance by the impossibility of obtaining reliable insistance from the unskilled labour they were compelled to enlist.
MR. ASQUITH JUSTIFIED,
A warning, therefore was absolutely needed, and if the newspapers had only "Lept off the grass" and forborne to make use of the crisis for the manufacture of startling headliness; if the teet kalors conid have left the matter alone, and the politicians curbed their unruly tongues,. no damage would have bei done, no seri on alarm or despondency would have arisen in the nation: nothing, at least, that would have encouraged the Germans in their delusions; for, in fact, Lord Kitchener spoke the psychological m nient, in nine to prevent the growth of a trouble that might have proved a most erious embarassment to the men in the field.
"Restoration in the true sense was impossible. They might repair damages to structure, reproduce shattered cary- ing, reconstruct the fallen real, restore broken masonry, and even replace the statues, but they could not rerente that marvellous colour scheme which was, the chief glory of the cathedral."
