Both Ypres and Verdun prove, in fact, that the attempt by the employment of huge numbers to rectify, the fundamental miscalculation upon which the Germans went into the war, means losses they cannot keep up. It is a remarkable and certainly striking fact that for the num her of men and guns engaged no armies in any wat bave ever accomplished so little is the Germans have in these battles. In substance that is why they are beaten. We need not be afraid to use the word. They cannot adapt themselves to existing conditions, because the error goes down to the root of their system. And they cannot change the conditions. That was decided against them long ago.
THE FLAGS OF THE " KENT.”
An interesting ceremony took place at Canterbury on July 1st, when the naval authorities deposited in the Cathedral the flags flown by H.M.8. Kent in Ad- miral Sturdee's victory over Yon Spee's cruiser squadron off the Falkland Islands on December 8th, 1914,
The flags were originally presented to the Bent by the ladies of Kent in 1914, but they were go tattered and torn in the battle by the fire of the energy that they were unavailable for further use
Their fragments were carefully_col- lected from the rigging by Captain John D. Allen and sent to the Association of Men of Kent and Kentish Men, the ladies' committee of which undertook the task of repairing them. AVERA
Though many parts are missing, they were sufficiently restored for presenta tion, and were hung in the central nave of the Cathedral, a plate being placed beneath recording the particulars of flie victory and the names of the brave men who gave their lives for their country in that glorious action.
