We are conse quently faced with a crisis oven more perilous and momentous than any which have hitherto arisen, even in this appal- ling war, Tho possession of the Channel ports, by the enemy would not end the war, but it would make our task by land and sea for more intricate and costly, both in life and treasure.

In spite of the gaps torn daily in our ranks, of the cease. less fighting against supaciar numbers, and the ceaseless, and wearisome din of hostile artillery, our infantry soldiers tuve fought with a steadfastness in de- felice and dash in attack which has never been surpassed, even in the old British Army. Whatever happens, their fate and their record is glorious. But their kins folk at home must do their part and supply them with the means of continuing the doubtful struggle to a victorious end..

The immediate necessity of the British Army in France is infantry soldiers. The brigades should be restored to their former strength. Other things there are. too, which should be done, and to which allusion has frequently been made in this column during the war, without much success. Improvements are necessary to bring our army as a fighting machine up to date. Its mechanisin of command could and should be improved, for example. The battle of St. Quentin and the retreat of Gough's army once again attested the truth of the writer's conten. tion, nor can the excuse be accepted, that it is inexpedient to change an organi sation in the midst of the fight. This fight is likely to last a long while. Had
