Sturdy independence was one of our na tional obaracteristics. The Englishman's ides of tyranny was being forced to obey the

Our was also the temper of a people, always prepared in the face of danger to subor dinate its native impulses. In the Great War every Englishman believed in his heart that he could have organised a large army, as Kitchener did, and could have done it belter. But there was the saving grace that the Englishman stood by the ship and obeyed orders in the hour of real peril.

What was the truth about the alleged English hypocrisy? He did not believe we were really hypocritical people. What gave rise to the charge was our extrar dinary success, which we had won without seeming to design it at all. So far, as foreigners could see. we did no scheming, yet the pluma seemed to fall in our mouth. We improvised and took the first course, and we had in the past been very lucky. People my the Battle of Waterloo was won on the playing fields of Eton, but they forgot that battles in the Boer War were lost on the same felds. We wanted a greater respect for laborious effort of the brain. Games, and particularly THE BEN LINE STEAMERS, LTD. cricket, were responsible for a lot of what was best in our character.

Mr. Malone explains that thousands of inquiries have been made for information by various organisations throughout the world; that the State Department could not publish the report because it was part of its archives, and therefore secret; and that be considers the present time expedient for publication, E
