The War. Situation
,A GREA:Ir WAR _.,_...,...,-..,
in the east a great battle £rant is
being formed, which evidently will
graaualiy extend from the Baltic to
the Carpathian mountains,, just asin'
the west it extextds from Switzerland
to, the English channel, with Germany
and Holland ,parts of Belguitn, Austria
Russia and France in between. The
gradual closing in of the lines against
sttcb a determined and fully Jirepared`
foe as Germany, must of necessity be
very slow so that it is foolish in the
extreme to .expect' an early finish ofa
wac of such vast proportions, The
money and Toad questions. must play
alt important part against Germany.
aif these lines can bet held by the Al-

While we are allt anxiaust about the

sight of the fa ct that Britain must
sustain lases. On Friday Britain lost
l anothe. cruiser, the sixth destroyed
t by Germae submarines, in the North
sea The loss is for be regretted
as to both ships and trained seamen,
but while we are very proud of the
fart tha: Britain rules the waves -
on every ocean innumerable British
ship are earring the commerce of
the warl'd-it cannot, be • done without
cost and part of the cost is the pat -
rating of the North Sea to keep the
German fleet tvithinear to fight them
if they come out, It is not surprising
that vessels are lost in doing thus.
The wonder is that the lossis not
much greater,
On the seas without counting the
