As Mr ASQUITE pointed out, this war, like all great ware, has been fruitful of surprises and disappointments to all the combatants, and the situation calls in an exceptional degree for a proper sense of perspective, a limitless stock of patience, and an overflowing reservoir both of active and passive courage. Progress must necessarily be slow in what is, after all, a war of exhaustion, and it is to be regretted emphasised at the outset instead of the British public being allowed to cherish the belief that a great advance would take place in the Spring and that the enemy would speedily be rolled back across the Rhine.

A party of eleven who bad attended the R.A. dance were returning in the early hours of Tuesday morning on a small motor launch. The launch had provedded about half-way to its destination when it came into collision with a buoy.

The Chinese at the wheel had apparently given his attention more to the big blaze at the timber yards at West Point than to his duties and only the prompt action of Petty Officer F. J. Rafles averted what might have been a very serious accident. He saw the danger, ran to the wheel, knocked over the Chinese who was charge, and jammed the steering gear. This lessened the force of the impact, and the launch was able to proceed.
