necessities, hence we often her the expression Wecessity is the mother of invention".

Great Britain at the comencement of the War, with her despised "insignificant army" of a few hundred thousand men, in sufficient in arms and ammunition was indeed in a state of un- -preparedness. But look at her present magnificent aray of several millions which she was able to train snd put into the field in three short years to the wonder of the World and astonish ont of her enemies. She has now not only sufficient m-terials of war for her own use, but surplus to sup ly to her Allies. How and why has she tone all this? Because it was a matter of necessity.

Great Britain has no doubt made many mistakes ond was often over confident to her cost. But with the snorifice of thousands of her best sons and expenditure of millions ✔ storling in order to uphold honour, liberty and equality, that the weak may live alongside the strong, she has learned my valuable lessons in connection with this War and will not fail to profit by them.

When this gigɛntic struggle ends and then there is again Pence on the Earth the British nation, with ner many sterling qualities and her people ready to adapt themselves to meet necessit: -ies, and with her usual recuperative power and bull-dog tenacity, will in courge of time be able to recover her losses and increuse her national resources and maintain and add to her prosperity.

I am etc.,
