Jarrested, B is indeed, plain that after six months of hostilistes Admiral Tirpitz, and the Govern mens which he Lerves, "have arrived at the same conclusion. They saw thus the pkk policy had broken down, and that a new policy must be devised. Sabmarines, they thought, might succeed where Dreadnoughts. and cruisers had failed. The change, no doubt, was adoped with extreme reluctance and many searchings of heart. The admission of failure is in itself unpleasant; and though we cannot regard the Government rea- ponsible for the Belgian atrocities-as elther scrupulous or humane, even the most reckless Government does

Greece must keep her word. Her honour is at stake. Pagarding the landing of the French at Salonika, M. Venoxalos said that the Grock people could not make war on France, and would not if they could. No Greek could forget what Francs bad done for Greace." Franca aked for nothing and merely came to support Groove's ally.
