A grim addition to the horrors of war has been furnished by the attacks of the eastern part of the war area in wolves on wounded and isolated men in Europe, and, bays The Standard, it is sadly to be feared that even after the ter mination of the conflict there may be more trouble than usual with those ver- min. For what with the depletion of the male human population and the amount gruesome fare, that will be at the wolves' of dead horses, to say nothing of more disposal during war conditions, and the immunity from hunting they will enjoy, thero will in all probability be an alarm ing increase in the number and boldness of the brutes. The fact is the danger of the wolf to man is a far more serious thing than modern English people who read sympathetically natural history novels about the lives of wolves seem to rendise, though the proposal of some very hare.

The First Lord of the Admiralty ended. his long and grateful reply to the con- gratulations of the Japanese Minister of Marino upon Admiral Sturdee's victory by an carnest recognition of the insalu able naval "assistance of Japan." Mr. Churchill spoke, us the occasion required, in the name of the British and Australian Navics. Need it be said that the whole nation and the whole Empiro share the Godtiments which to expressed? All of ms recognize with admiration and with thankfulness the great services which Japan has rendered to the common cause, Mr. Churchill Билая кр the moet touspicious amongst them in his dispatch: The whole of the German aquadron based on Tsingtau at the outbreak of the war has been destroyed, and the base itself reduced and capturoi." The prace of the Pacife has been in this manner restored, and from the coasts of Mozambique to the coasts of South America commerce, save the commerce of our enemies, can. pursue its course undis turbed. This is the fine result of the joint oporations of the Allied Fleets during some four months. Though the "crowning mercy" off the Falkland Islands was achieved by our own ships, it was in great measure due, as the First Lord bears witness, to the powerful and untiring assistance rendered by the Japanese Fleet."
