SPLENDID DEFENCE OF THE
ROYAL WEST KENTS.
The story of the splendid defence put up by about a hundred men of the Royal West Kent Regiment, under a captain of their battalion, has already been referred 10, but not correctly told. What actually happened is that this little force got separated from the main attack upon Trones Wood, delivered at seven o'clock on Thursday night. The attack did not succeed, and dunk found a small band of West Kents cut off in the eastern part of the wood with Germans swarming around them, Luckly they had collected VIOLENT METHODS.

The enginy bar- rage had become so fierce that oflcers and men at this spot were driven to seek cover wherever they could find it. Indeed, soldiers who had been through Loos, Neuve Chapelle, and other great fights of the campaign say that they never ex- perienced anything like this inferno. Suddenly the fire lifted and a large party of Boches came swooping upon the ruins of the battalion headquarters. There was a hoarse shout to staud to, and the officers and some signallers and orderlies who happened to be present, the whole party not numbering more than about a dozen, seized rifles and borobs and put up such a fine counter-attack that they drove their assailanty off.

Germany is entering the third year of the war in a very different mood, not nerely from the first, but also from the second (says, the special correspondent of the Daily Telegraph at Rotterdam).

The coupleta change of tone ip these anniversary reviews of the situation is of the deepest significance. Instead of a twelve months ago Germany's will to conquer you find Germany's will to bold out" For our place in the sun is substituted our right to exist." The events of the last few weeks seem to have taught even the German people what the Government has long known, first, that its territorial conquests are military assets that can never be realised; second, that their armies are now everywhere' ou the defensive. Says the Frankfurter, ZeitunYES.

We have celebrated military triumphs unparalleled by any nation, but the enemy is not defented, He is not lying prone on the earth. Would not that be too much to hope for! But is it nothing that we have saved the life of the empire. that we have secured that Germany will be unconquered and unbroken at the end of the war?'
ENGLAND'S GREAT EFFORT.
No single factor, bas só bserved in the disillusionment of the German people as England's great effort. That they were convi acad. genuinely convinced, even up to a few weeks ago, that we should never make it I am confident, and the convic tion was even shared by some of their ruler. In this connection the Kölnische Zeitung says:
"Amongst the surprises of the war, which has been a destroyer of all previous noticis, belongs the fact that England has made a complete change in her modern history by adopting general con scription. Even those who had a good knowledge of England held the view until the last moment that it would be impos sible to bring the English people to acccpt such an institution so contrary to all their old traditions. We can see from this alone how serious is England's de termination to inaks Germany less dan We germs to England's future plans. stand in a decisive struggle outside, and to the misu uimal internal problems, and still the end of the struggle is not to be foreseen.
