While every precaution must be taken that time and means afford, there are no grounds for supposing that more German troops can be landed in this country, either from the air or across the sea, than can be destroyed or captured by the strong forces at present under arms.

They should not hesitate to repart or, if necessary remove any officers or officials who are found to be con- sciously exercising or disturbing or depressing influence and whose laik is ealculated to spread alarm and despondency.
