England and Conscription. We are fighting the largest and the most redoubtable fee in all" history, and every Englishman ought to know it. As a writer in one of the recent Reviews pot it:"
The question that we have to decide is whether our voluntary effort, however wonderful, will be able to cope successfully with the scientific war system of our foe. War with us has been what military writers call one of ' limit-·| ad activity, that is to say, we have never had an army since the era cf conscription capable of bringing about decisions on the Continent, and to ending a war satisfactorily. The Gorman Mil- itary Staff has long counted on this method of oura. But this is a war where only full strength" will bring about the necessary. decisions." If only the man-in- the-street can be educated up to the point of realising these things and of appreciating what Lord Kitchener han called the cardinal fact, viz., that the Empire is fighting for its existence, there will be no lack of recruite, The inherent weakness of the volun- tary system lies in the difficulty of getting men to adequately realise the greatness of the issues at stake, and the imperative need of cervice. Though in the piping times of peace the idea of Con- scription would he repoguant to the mass of the British people, we believe it would be accepted. in the present time of crisis with little demur, and thousands of men who for various reasonG NOW find it difficult to fulfil their wish to enlist would gladly welcome Conscriptions giving them a desired opportunity.

in which Germany does much: business in machine-tools the chief attraction is cheapness, This is the case in markets of so diverse a character as Denmark, Russia and the Argentine. In one or two valuable markets; such sa Australia and Japan, wo have the larger business; but a good deal of the more elementery. work can be done on a cheap class of machine, whiob, if we make it at all, is certainly not properly marketed, or our busi- teas would be larger in those countries where cheapness is a prime consideration. We have on other occasions referred to selling matters, and the value of a progressive attitude in this connection. Germany frequently sets about studying a market in a very methodical way, and, be fore attempting to send goods, | finds out exactly what will suite it All this coats a considerable amount of money, which must be spent before any returns can be resulta expected.
