VIE WAY OF THE AC49BESSOR.
'The French Review of •the War
Rises to the Rank of Literature.
Nothing more illuminating 'has
been published upon the trend of
the war than the French official
review Which is appetizing in in-
stalmente in the newspapers Those
olear and lucid summaries rise to
the rank of literature when the re-
viewer quotes German diaries and
letters taken from captured and
dead soldiers. Ultimate German
victory was at first part of the con-
sciousness of every Gerinan sol-
dier. "At the moment of the 'bat-
tle of the Marne," says the review-
er, "the first impression was one
ef a, failure of comprehension -and
of stupor.", But as the 'retreat con-
tinued, e process of cenversion be-
gan to set in in the German mind.
The vasb Teutonic force, in the pink
of condition, withalmost half a
century a preparation, was actu-
ally shaken and turned back. The
official expressions of victory no
longer re-echoed in the minds of
the fighting soldiers. The battle of
Calais, which was id reality no
nearer Oalais than the Yser, with
its terrific loss or probably 2n0,000
Teutens, seemed to stagger the
German mind,
The failure •of 'the, capture:of,
Warsaw completed the disillualaff:
ment "Until during the last terve
months," says the report, "the,
most intelligent of the prisoners
have all admitted one eauld
any longer say, on,: which ,.side vic-
tory would rest.' Ana recently
letters seized on, a dead officer
speak of "the imminence of a mili-
tary and economic hemming in of
Germany." They discuss "the pos-
sibility of Grermany finding herself
after the war `with empty hands
and pockets turned inside out.'
. . On January 18 an officer of
the German General Staff, captur-
ed, said "Perhaps this struggle.
of despair has already begun." Par.
haps it has! That is -the way a the
aggre.esor. No ,such struggle ofede-
spair can ever set in in the heart's
of the .scanty. 13.01giae soldiers who
have fought valiantly a .losing but
a glorious battle of sheer defence.
Despair is the just part and lot el
the aggressor; and despite all our
sympathy kr the hosbs of . honest
and hard-working Germans- who
never sought war, who hardly know
what they are figlitirtg for, we
not , hut feel, satisfacbion • 'that a sin
against the human race should be
so fitly and cart -ably punished • on
earth • that the way of The, aggiea
sor should be made limed- and peril-
ous, be his name NaPoleorocereVail-

Building Good Roads
'It costs the average Chen.Wien
farmer two dollars as ton to haul
his produoe to the market town, to
the, railway ,sto,tiarct or lake port.
It is known that the produetion. of
field crops alone amounts to about
40,000,000 tons a yea'''. It would•be
moderate to canal:tate that 20,000,-
.000 o/ 'this tonnage is hauled over
roads, one way or another ; so we
have $50,000,000 as. tost of team-
ing field crops by the fiermera,, This
cost could be tedueed if we had
first-elass roads to $20,000,000, a
saving of 60 per °eat., leaving
$30,000,000 as a saving on one claw
of product ,alone.
The building of good toads would
increase the value ef taxable lands
nob only in the viciniby of cities
but also in the most remote parte.
Stupendous amounts toad be col-
lected in takes, 'and the assets of

ercise their skill and experience at
full pressure, .and to preserve good j
thee -keeping -Anything less, Lord
Kitchener points, out, than the full
output means Britislh fives Mine,
cese-atily sacrificed and victory poet -
pored. This direct speech, as -it
were of the great officer who, for-
tunately for the Empire, 'controls
the War Department, is infinitely
to be prized for the purpose in
view, over any number of speeches,
and any amount of rhetoric at pub-
lic m,eetings. It is mentioned that
Lord Eitchener'e message, when it
was publialed thr-oughout the
works, avers received with •enthusi-
atm hy the opeivtives. Of entree,
though addressed to, it is not par-
ticular to, and confined to Barrow;
in-Furn,e.se. It is a message and
appeal for continuous effort in
every Workshop and faobory
throughout the United Kingdom.
And we believe that es such it will
be recognized on Tyneside, on the

and wom,en, too, will give of their
best for our splendid fellows at the
front, who are their husbands, hro-
thers, sons. It has taken the nia.-•
don long months to month what is
the,huge task upon which we have

more munitions, of war, meat flow
up to and into. the fighting frontal.

they do now, surely, that on their
