YEATS BROWN answers it in one word-Termin, Again and again. he, brings to mind, in a few lines of fleeting cynicism, this horrible, disgusting and unromantic factor which for over two years dominat ed this life. It is a sad truth but in most of the glorious campaigns of history the activities of these tiny pests have meant more to the fighting men than the military genius of the general. It is only detail, but one that gallant, and high-spirited young people, should {not forget. Thère Aro other and more tragis aspecta which Mr. Years BROWN does not overlook:
And now a party of British and Indian soldier prisoners arrived from Baghdad. About two hun- dred and fifty men had been cap- tured just before the siege of Kut; they were taken first to Baghdad and then by forced marches to Kirkuk, a mountain town on the borders of the Turko- Persian frontier. Why they were ever sent to Kirkuk I do not know, unless it was thought that the sight of starving prisoners would re-assure the population regarding the qualities of the British soldier. hibited to the population, they were sent to the Mosul through the bitter cold of the mountains, and arrived shortly after the Now Year of 1010. Only eighty out of the original two hundred and fifty survived this march.

A motorist was fined £10 at the Guildhall for allowing clouds of amoko to escape from the exhaust of his car. The offence is not an
ancommon one.
Sympathy with the defendant, who pleaded that it was the fault of the car, does, not preclude us from realising that he was wisely and justly dealt with. There is no excuse for having a dud car in these days.
The Kingly Way.
We find the following excursion into idealism in a Japanese-English contemporary:
Success or Failure ? --
A man in Milan who falsely pro- tended to be a qualified, doctor has been sentenced to imprisonmont, The message says that he perform ed over three hundred operations, but misses the important point as to whether these were, on tho whole, more or less succesful than similar operations performed by doctors holding the recognised dip- lama. That question never comes up, yet it is one which, one would suppose, was quite as important as the question of a diploma. Of course, to pretend to be a doctor when one is not is fraudulent; but it a man openly proclaimed that he was not qualified but was pre- pared to perform the functions of a physician, there would be a good argument for letting people do as they liked about it.
