OUR LITTLE BOLOS." AFTER the reassuring statements to which we have been accustomed it comes as a rude shock in the fourth year of the war to be fold by Lord MILNER,who sperks with the authority of a member of the War Cabinet, that it is not now a question of destroying Prussian militar- iam, but of whether russianism wil destroy us. It was only a few months ago that General Surs declared that Germany was already beaten, and, though

M. S State. Thero may, of course, be many people who honestly entertain these views, but there is not the slightest doubt that the Germans are astate enough to play upon their weaknesses. Probably the recent industrial disturbances in Germany, which ended so suddenly, were exaggerated for their benefit, and the demands of the minority Socialists in the Reichstag were allowed full pub- licity for the same purpose,. While we have no wish to minimise the nature of the task which confronts the Allies, We believe, na stated above, that Lord MILNER'S speech was intended to counter. act the effect of the insidious campaign that is being carried on in our midst.
