· Mr. Ben Tillett's Appeal. Mr. Ben Tillert, speaking at Bristol last month, said the whole nation should fearlessly support the men who were fearlessly doing their duty on land and ses. Lord Kitchener, in building up new armies, knew what he was ap sgainst, and the hypocrites who attempt to effice his glorious memory were unworthy of the name of Briton. We must con- tinue to produce vast quantities of material in all the centres of “industry. Even now some of the people at home did not realise what we were up against, The bast of the parsons are at the front, and anyone who went there, eyen parsons, got converted to Christianity. He wanted to see wealth conscripted as well as bodies. He wished the pacifiste had seen, as he had, men suffering from the borrible brutalities of the Germans, especially *poisoning.
