appeared in "The Times" to-day.
The lender, entitled "The Sen Grip," begins by paying tribute to the British Expeditionary Force.

the French and British armies, hemmed in against the north-eastern coast of France, the world in wliness-
ing one of the grirmest and most glorious feats of skill and steady gallantry in all military histor.
"It is not possible to follow the conflict in its heroic detall.
"Yet now and again the pall of obscurity is it with the gleam of individual fertitude and daring."
Continuing, the leader declares, "It should never be forgotten that the struggle is in the predomina- of the sea.

domination-sea-power. To- doy it is even more potent-than-ever before.
