THF, FOURTH OF AUGUST, 1918
Four long, weary, terrible years of
war were commemorated on August
4th. 1918. A traveller returning from
England slays,"War has Oaecomie
nornial condition and England takes,
it as a matter of °aurae". Imagine,
war a normal condition. Four Years
ago we b.elievedf war was, already owe!,
grown by rouir gentler civilizations War,
was cruel andl we had c.orne to dread
and abhor the sight of suffering-. War,
too,- was the .eruerny of business, oil
commerce, arid hence, itn.poissible;
War /stirred deelp and abiding bates
and we talked peace and unity of the
nations. Christian missianaries went'
ell over the earth asapoittle.e.of a
common Fatherhood and( Brotherhood
How' changed. allow we face war
hatred and slatighter everywhere.
War has revealed t hings which as-
tound tia.. We had theilight pity was
a virtue, but we' find a greatt nation
counts (it a vice if it tends to cheek
a State hent .on &inquest and mas-'
Wry.
Wai has revealed our ignorance of
some of the 'deepest thing's in ; our
own world. 1VAert We thought vaiae
said- that modern war as sai costly that
it could not endure Ter- More than
a few months, that our whale -aeon -
epic fabric would be' clestafoyed by
a year of werld-w(islie war, if that
could even he conceived Itt fact
four Years of war have revealed in
us saurclea of strength Insimagarieal.
IC our endurance Is gregear the
power elf Malignant &Aloes is allsp
greater than we had imagined. Men
who, went tato France with the first
British army zaild <Golod-bye, we will
be back by Christen* with Germany
deeearted" How fantastic does - all
litisaelem now? ,W,e, are tin blame for
hieing ceeelesa. Ge.rman leaders had
declared that tthe British Empire was
in their path and niust be dee thayed.
We. thought these the words of the
dreamers, and that the 'German eco -
pie were alright and would check the
plans of a few wild sioldiem. New we
know, that tale tylhole- German people
have been led astray' by the ,t foul
teaching that .10 is the rig,he off ;the
strong.. peoele to, crash ,arid rule the
week, 'atilt thiel Gentians sire the only
strong pe(oxilei aincl: that their strength
gives then the[ eole right to rale, The
German people, iairck nlot all right but
are all wrong. Only the ,bitt esare,es of
defeat will convince them 'that they
have still to learn elements, of the
fre.e culture of the world, At the
end of flag Dourth year of the war
we may Well be humbled that we un-
derstood so littler foresaw so little,
safeguarded spa little,.. The 'nataies
now understand Germany, and ,only
when she shows- a real change of heart
will .thie pa/tines welcome any Morn-
isa that she, will be, a geed Ineighlittar.
But while she treasures hei savage
designs of conquest we. must Aont-
alder her all. outcalst.

THE NAVY,
Siince the great sea fight, off the
Jutland Coast ITS May, 1916, we have
heard but little of our 'Navy. What
has it been: doing all this time? , Has
it measured up to our lexpectatiOna ?
There arc a illsamlhert of main Objects
which the Navy is required to 0.6h,-
iieVe. The fit* is to meet, and if
possible, annihilate the enemy's arm-
ed forces; tO prevent supplies reach-
ing the enemy; to protect the sea
borne cranmerc,ei of the British Em-
pire; to ensure that supplies react
the 1Jailecl Kingdiorne tie prevent in-
vasions Of Greet Britain, and the -Ov-
erseas Dorniniona; tol maintain, the sea
communications of the Armies fight -
Mg an the various, fraintS.
Only in the, achievement of itS first
and primary duty has the Navy been
blocked, Since Jutland the, enemy
fleet has kept cllase to its own coast.
To attack it has be -en impossible on
account of theeshalllory waters, elabor-
ate minefields, anal coast defer's.
ce,s The other, objectst of our POliCy,
,however have been ceaselessly and
relentlessly pursued. Not _merely
have we aimed a,t. Success; we 'have
attained it. '
Not an dunce of supplies has reach-
ed .the ,enemy .by water. Our block-
ade hen been stringently tightened
In. 1915, 256 out of 400 shiPs.eludeal
the patrol- sqltadrkirist, At the end .of
1916 only 60 . out 'sof 3,000 escaped
heir intercepted. In one mouth ,of
1917 not a ,stingle vessel trading with'
neutral countries crossed ehe North
Atlantic and Arctic oceans, without
being held up and examined, The
Baltic is the 'only stretch of salt water
where German .sthips( may safely .show
themselves,
• The Navy has( kept starvation, from
the Bnitieh Isles. Early last year the
Hun started eal his campaign of ruth-
less and u,n(reelinicted sub). warfare!
I -Ie dahlia to have 'sunk during the
first twelve anionthat nine and one-half
million tons of allied and neutral ship-
ping This is -T erase exaggeration.
The actual arnount of tonnage sunk
and irreparably damaged by submar-
ine' action waaonly six miliion tons.
In other word's, the tenern.y i,s wrong
to the extent of 38 per cent.; and, this
is altogether apart from, his boastful
promlisle of :sinking alanilliton tons a
month,, Wisely,. we say nothing of
German submarines that will never
turn to their home. The: admiralty
has goad reaalon to believe that be-
tween 40 and 50 per cent, of all U
boats 'operating in home wat-ers since'
the beginning of the war- have been
destroyed. Every day , we find "new
methods. 'Merchant ships are armed,
and manned with expert gun crews.
The Auxiliary ,patrol services have
been ,enoemously expanded, Before
the outbreak of the war there were
under 20 vessels employed as mine
sweepers and on auxiliary patrol du -
tis To -day we have 3400 of this
craft and their rainiSer is "constantly
inceeasing. Steel 'net arid depth bomb
have added to, the heavy toll taken of
the U Beat. A alAW system of con-
voying Merchant ships has been
adopted which, has been remarkably
effective in reducing losses. During
tb,e last Lew months over 90 per cent'
of all vessels sailing On the Atlantic
have beet). convoyed. Less than one
per crit. of these shies have been
lost whether by enema 'action, or
marine risk. The submarine menace
is still with ass but it is well under
cant.1401. We have lost oneafifth of
our mercantile tonnage, since the be --
ginning of the wan but its the first
quarter of 1918the U boats destroyed
Ear leas than they did in the firatt
three months of ;frightfulness, and our
losses are decreasing daily. '
'The fourth object of our Navy is
to protect our shores'. The surface
warships cif the central Powers 'have
been driven into harbour, and kept
.there Early in the war every Ger-
man Comnierc.e raider was. chased
the seas; and Men Spe,e's squad -
di -on was de.stroyed. at the, Falklands.
It is, impossible to prevent small min-
er rads Ion oar coast towns. To this
Scarborough and Hartlepool bear wit-
ness Protracted attacks, however
are not remotely .pessible.• The' task•
of watching the enemy navy is no
light -one. The 140,000- square miles
of the'altorth Sea have to. be patrolled
inces.sletly In. all weetherat When
we consider that silica 1914 the per-
sonnels of our Navy lase increased ba
twoahandr.ed per cent. and the total
tan,nrage of our Fleet' by fiftty cit
cent. add that in, one month British
warships, proper travel .one millio,n, sea
nale,s in home waiters 'ialione, are we
to believe thie Gelman statemen,t that
the British fleet rusting in land-
locked harbours ?
