THE SURRENDER OF AN EMPIRE"

BY NESTA H. WESTER,

This book published early in 1831 is one that should be widely read by Englishmen, as it puts succinctly in 377 pages of good print the whole problem of our onto great Empire It covers the period from 1914, to the present day, and shows that throughout these years "our worat European Mail-Inward: Europe via Siberia (Hakodate Maru); foes have been those of our own Europe via Siberia (Kashimahousehold who-some through blind- Maru).

As a foremost, Mrs. | Webater gives an extract from a speech by Winston Churchill to the Navy League on February 6, 1330," and it is so appropriate that no apology is needed for reproducing it here in full;

During the last few years a sense of powerlessness must have come across those who have taken part in the triumphant exertions. which the British Empire bas made in the present contury, Some spring seems have snapped in the national conscious.

We seem to be the only great nation which does not speak" up for itself, which has lost "con- fidence in its mission, which is fidence in its mission, which is ready to resign. Its hard-won rights.

Gordon and Carlyle.. Mrs. Webster opens her book briefly with the causes that led up to the Great War: Its origins, she says, must be sought at least, as far back as the time of Frederick The defeat of the Great Prussia's ancient rival, Austria, in

1988, and of France, the eternal object of its hatred, in 1570, paved the way for the pan-German scheme of world domination to which datur. ally the British Empire provided the most farmidable obstacle. Ia a tolling phrase that England is always strangely grateful to the men who bave misled her she con-

trusts a letter to The Times after. the battle of Sedan from Carlyle

on November 18, 1870, with one

from General Gordon in 1832 to Mr. James Purdy, published in the Morning Post on September 1,

1915.

Carlyle wrote: That noble, patient, deep, pious and solid Germany should be at length: welded into a nation and become Queen of the Continent, instead

of vapouring, vainglorious, genti. culating, quarrelsome, restless and over-sensitive France, seems to me the hopefullest public fact that has occurred in my time.

Gordon wrote: Every Briton should think of the future of his country and cause each one to in- sist on the Government passing

measure for compulsory univer- sal military training. So far na England is concerned, she need not, for the next, quarter of a century, be under any apprehen sion of serious difficulties arising with any of her European neigh- bours, but in 1010 or thereabouts. there will have arisen a naval; Power which may prove mightier than she, and should she (Ger many) gain the supremacy, Eng- land will become extinct both ns a land and ses Power, and all her dependencies, including India, will fall into Germany's clutches." You may live to see this: I shall not, but when that time comes, remember my words.

Our Bind Leaders, Who was right. Carlyle or Gen- eral Gordon? Mrs. Webster then goes on to show how after the South African war Lord Roberts, Sir Henry Wilson, Mr. L. J. Moxse and a few others tirelessly though in vain warned their countrymen of Lord the danger of Germany, Roberts in a speech in Manchester (The Times, October 23, 1912) said:
