This operation began on August 7th, 1914, and it is now August 18th, 1915; by day and by night the transports have been passing to and fro across the Channel, wits troops counted by hundreds of thousands. These ships have carried to France six ur seven times as many soldiers as we had in our first-line Army a year ago, and they have brought back the sick and the wound. ed; safe conduct has also been given to the King and his Ministers. During these many days and nights, in spite of active submarines and treacherously laid mines, not a single transport has been sunk.

We have stretchell out the long arm of our sea power to the farthest mits of European waters, and t has given protection to other transports bearing men to the Gallipoli Peninsula. Other targets have been offered to the enemy great processions of the Empire's fighting power have been moving in even more distant waters, bringing to our aid the finest manhood of the younger nations, Again, in spite of all the enemy's efforts, not a single transport has been sunk-until now, when the Royal Edward has gone,

When it is possible to grant such free passages and accommodation, relatives will be notified by the Record Office. In all other cases relatives must pay their own expenses, and are warned that accommodation will probably prove very limited and costly.
