Shadow of Coming Events A story of the early days of the- 7 -Great War has its significance tin the light pf recent .events' . : King George asked Mrs , Churchill. If it migTit. not .be: a vt{ise planto extin„ ' guisb the lights in the Mall,' because of German sky ' raiders: "Yes", re- plied Churchill, "hut ;if ; a bomb, falls. -on Buckingham Palace it. would have ,a'v'ert' stimulating effect on the pen- pie." , ++Possibly,''. replied the King, "but it woud, have a very depressing effect On - me!" • . , A Costly .Failure • Fen; military events in history have aroused' the fierce controversy that. surrounded the Dardanelles exped-. tion. The 'war .on the Western Front had now degenerated into a matter of hurling, masses of men at the en- 'emy in an effort to exterminate hint. Winston Churchill derided this pol- icy,''nind believed that ati`Allied'of•- f nsive in the Mediterranean area, /through Turkey (then a German ally) • and thence 'smashing at Germany`s rear, would :be a decisive stroke and would shorten the war, The attempt *as 'made, and after heavy losses ' of men,, and warships in a fruitless effort to smash through the Turkish, defences in 'the Dardan- elles, the campaign bogged down and was abandon'ed', some months later. Downfall! • ' Winston Churchill's critics were a- gain in full cry:and en his shoulders was placed the entire .bfarne for the'' fiasco. When .a Coalition government replaced the Liberal, adniinrstration, Churchill was relieved of the Ad- miralty and given a : purely 'nominal. post, in the new Cabinet. - ' "1'.t was a cruel and unjust degrad- ation," ' egrad-ation,"' Wrote Mr. :Lloyd George in his War Memoirs: "Nothing had been ,overlooked or neglected as fare as the naval operations were concerned.. The fatal delays and mishandlings had all been in the other branch (War Off-. ice)' of the Service". This, incident- ally,: , is .the general eitpert' opinion today.

And what of the old Creeds' The scripturesare dead. We need no. fairy-tales to -day. Believing, we trust. our destiny to our• Fuhrer". As a practical contribution to the Nazi point of view, • their. bombers have now destroyed or damaged 2659 -churches of all -denominations -in Eng- land and Wales, apart from •'vicar-.! ages, convents, church halls and man- ses.
