Britain's Greatest Glory.
et. Joan, N. B.. Telegraph.
The 14te Admiral Mahan, writing to
an English friend in October, told
about the "vivid interest" wttb which
he followed the movements of the
Bo i' ish in the wets. And he added
thin sentence which it now -being
widely quoted in the British press:
"But the testimony to the upright-
ness and efficiency uf her Imperial
rule given by the strong adhesion and
support of podia and the Dominion is
a glory exceeding thst of pitched
battle and overwhelming victory."
The Fall of Basra.
l.oudoo Timer
For 1 he world at large, and for Ger-
many in partici:fir• tbe fall of Basra
has a meaning even greater than its
'significance to Asia. Basra was the
chosen terminus of the Baghdad rail-
way, and its leisure by the British will
be felt more keenly in Berlin than the
Ines of Kb.o Chan. 1t means that the
dreams and .cbemes of twenty years,
the tip 'ling fruits of the "'world -
policy" whi began when the Kaiser
paid his memorable visit to Abdul
Hamid, have crumbled to dust and
ashes.
