In an article in London Opinion calling on the British people to unite in an irresistible demand for the re- call of Lord Fisher to the post of First Lord of the Admiralty, and writ- ing as a land lubber for land 'libbers, James Douglas thus sunns up the achievements of the ,great British sea- man:, There is no statesman in England who can deny the dazzling genius of Fisher. It]Let is truism. me cata- logue a few of his achievements. His first stroke of genius was the scrap- ping of 162 warships which could neither fight nor rap away. How that stroke was execrated! How it was denounced! But by it the made pos- sible another stroke of genius -the system of nucleuscrews, which put Mtn each ship its brains, leaving the beef 'to come along when it 'teas wanted. Fisher's third stroke of genius was the adoption. of the water -tube boiler -the biggest revolution on record, a revolution which, put' the 'fire where the water was and the water where the fire was, the consequence being that instead of taking seven or eight hours to get steam, you take only twenty minutes, you keep your' boil- ers clean, ytou have your fuel, an@ you are ready whenever your enemy ar- rives. Fisher's fourth stroke of genius was the adoption of the Parsons turbine in the teeth of the bitterest opposi- Woman's best friend.

"Most of these machines carry a passenger in front, who works a ma- chine gun, but others have a gun fixed on the top of the engines and firing through the propellor (or rather the tractor screw, to be technically' cor- rect). In the !titter case the gun is aimed by steering the whole aeroplane to suit, like Judson's flatiron gunboat in Mr. Kiplin's story.

There are 7 Red Cross Hospitals at Alexandria and three at Cairo with a total of 1,622 beds. 38 British Red Cross workers are serving in the Anglo -Russian Red Cross hospital at Petrograd. Theyin- tion. Fisher discovered the turbin 19 a penny steamer. Ile went to it inventor, Parsons. Parsons said "Will you see me through?" Fisheh saw him through. To -day, 80 pe cent. of the horsepower on the sever seas is turbine. And yet all the man darins turned up thcth noses at th turbine.. There are many to -day who put their trust in boards and committees, and nob in men of genius. Let me warn them that the ' records are against them. The Board of Admir- alty was hostile to the introduction of steam into the navy. Its wooden - headed stupidity is embalmed in a 'minute. The Board of Admiralty was hostile to the iron ship. Its wooden - headed hostility is embalmed in an- other minute, which solemnly declar- ed that wood was better than iron because wood floats, whereas iron Rinks! e elude physicians, surgeons, bacteriolo- • gists, nurses and orderlies. ThsEm- press of Russia has given the hospital 30,000 roubles, ✓ The British Red Cross bac 50 hos- pita). ships in the Mediterranean, 5 hospital trains in Egypt, and G25 mo- tor alnbulances are in commission It has 967 auxiliary home hospitals and its Voluntary Aid Detachments have a personnel of 67,000. The premier Red Cross decoration in the world is the "Royal Red Cross" conferred by the Imperial Government in recognition of special services ren- dered in nursing the sick and wound- ed. It is divided into two classes: The first class are known as "Mem- bers of the Royal Red Cross," and are entitled to use the letters "R,R,C." at - Introduced OT} Fuel. Fisher's fifth stroke of genius was - the intr eduction of oil fuel into the navy, again in the teeth of authority. When Fisher left the A.dmiralty, of- ficial idiots went back to coal and stopped the development of oil fuel. They laid dotyn battleships using coal only. These very battleships have now been transformed into o,1 -using ships. Once more, Fisher was proved to be rigth, and the reactionaries were leer to be wrong. Fisher's sixth stroke of genius was the concentration of our navy in the North Sea. A simple thing, you say, Yes, but the simplicity of genius. Nobody had thought of that simple thing. Fisher g divined it and Ofd it silently and secretly, thus 'checkmat- ing the strategy. of Tirpitz. There you have the Fisher touch in its purest form. Fisher's seventh stroke of genius was the creation of the Dreadnought, the ship that baffled German ambi- tion and converted the -Kiel Canal for years into a useless ditch. Do the British people realize that the Grand Fleet, which now stands between Germany and the dominion of "the world, is Fisher's fleet From the Dreadnought to the Queen Elizabeth and the Inflexible it is all pure, un- athalterltted Fisher. Fisher's eight stroke of genius was the ,creation of the battle -cruiser -L. the greyhound with the big' guns, When, after 'a seater .01i disasters„ Fisher was calledin,:a year ago, the first thing lie diel was to, send- his• battle -cruisers to sink Von Spee's squadron. He Must have stnatlecl the barnacles 'when he issued his famous order. One can imagine their doubts and fears, their }vaverings, and hesi- tations,' their prayerd for delay, their pleas for caution.

"I have said that many of the I'ok- kers fire through their propellers. It appears that the propeller blades are fitted with deflector plates to turn aside such bullets as hit the blades. Only about five or six bullets in a hundred are likely to bit the plates, and the remaining ninety -odd pass between the blades straight for their target, This deflector was first tried by the.

Women are, perhaps, marc prone to the new malady which is making itself felt than men. War worry in England has become a definite disease. he symptoms are very like those of neurasthenia. The victim becomes de- pressed, nervous, starting at any 00- expccted sound, is in a constant state of agitation, is ready to cry at the slightest difficulty, and is generally in a morbid condition of mental and physical health.

In those towns which aro darkened, the absence of light and the curtail- ment of pleasure all help to foster f:he complaint. Then there is an actual excess of work, a burden of toil which is too heavy to be borne by many of the weaker sex.
