Right Hon. Sir George Reid, the late Iligh Commissioner for Australia, who has beenelectedunopposed to the British (louse of Commons, for St: George's, Hanover- Square, London, will be a distinct acquisition to the Ilouse, and is already -being referred. to as the "Member for Anzac." His fleet speech as M.P. was characteris- tic of the man, "I have only three planks in my political platform," he said, with his usual bluntness. "The first plank, is the war; the second plank is the whole war; the third planlc is nothing• but the war." • Here are two characteristic utter- ances which have fallen from Sir George. Nearly a year ago, explain- ing the secret of his unabated vigor on his seventieth birthday, he de- clared, "I have aimed at health and happiness, and when confronted by a £ortnidable obstacle I have just tried to knock it over; failing this, to get round it, if not, then under it; and if all these manoeuvres failed, I have Been content to lie 'flown in its grateful shade, lauding it as a beau- tiful blessing in disguise." The other utterance was the mess- age he despatched to Australia when the story of the heroism of Anzac was ]drown, "'Tie whole world knows to -day!. what I always knew -that Australians are true to the core and loyal tW1the backbone." "WHEtE IS HE WOUNDED?" Best Make to Get the Bullet Is In the • Chest. That is the lirst question that comes to the lips. of those at house when news arrives that a friend or .relative is out of tie fighting line and in hos- pital. Even to those ignorant of sur- gicel wonders, the idea prevails that it is better to be wounded in some parts than in others, Dr. Henry S, Souttar, in the course of a lecture, declared: "If' you have to be shot, the best place to get the bullet is In the chest. l And the next best thing is to leave the bullet alone. I have several friends walking about, in the best of health, with bullets in the chest, "Of course there are patients who want the bullets extracted, in order to '♦vicar 'thein around their necks. Even a surgeon cannot always explain hu- man nature. But otherwise, if the wounded man is kept: quiet for twenty- four hours, he will be practically out of da ager. Complications may arise, but they will Ire usually Inc to too ' much hurry to get the mint to a base hospital." Explained. Caller, -What a tiny little chap your brother is.

' James Douglas, naval critic, in an article ' nn a Loudon daily paper, dis- •cusses the possibility of the German fleet being equipped with 17 -inch guns and' in the course of a length article sounds the warning not quoted above. He continues: "I think it will be admitted that we are putting most of our energy into the organization of vast armies and that in consequence our navy is rap- idly receding into the background. If this navy were to fail us an army of ten million could not save us. - We nevertheless assume that the navy is not subject to any unforeseen vicis- situde. That theory may bold good in a short war. Does it hold good in n long •war? 1)11 It on Land. "The question I desire to raise is this: If it was possible for the Ger- mans and Austrians to establish :a lead in heavy field pieces before the war and to do it without the know- ledge 'o£ the present allies, is it not within the bounds of possibility that the Germans may establish a lead in naval guns durhlg the war? It is not enough to be told that we may safely trust to our secret intelligence branch and to our experts. Nations which have been caught napping once may be caught napping twice. After what happened at Liege, Name, Warsaw, Kovno, Novo Georgievsk, and elsewhere, co11010n prudence tells us not to trust blindly either to es- pionage or to experts. The Shells at Dunkirk. 'Doubtless it was .a very stupid act of the part of the Germans to reveal by the shelling ol'. Dunkirk the exist- ence of a 1.7 -inch naval gun, but the Germans are constantly doing staipid things. It is possible that•they used this gut to persuade us to believe that it is a field gun and not a naval gun. At any rate, there is no doubt as to the existence of at least one German 17 -inch naval gun. We may be quite certain that Iirupps have manufactured more than one of these guns. We may even go as far as to assume- that they have manuactured many of therm. It is significant that the 16 -inch howitzers used by the Central Powers are Austrian guns manufactured at Shoda, - What was Essen doing while Skoda was turn- ing out its heavy howitzers? Clearly, the answer to the question is that Essen was turning out heavy naval guns. It may be said that 17 -inch naval guns are useless without bat- tleships or battle cruisers in which to mount them. Here, again, we are at the mercy .of the expert. What of the Hindenburg? "It is known that several German capital ships were due to be com-1 pletecl several months ago. There may have boon more. The fog of war hangs thickly over the German shipyards. One of the new ships, the Hindenburg, has undoubtedly been eompleteri. Has the Hindenburg been armed with 17 -inch guns? Have other Capital ,ships of the same class been armed with 17 -inch guns?. If not, what was the gun which fired on Dunkirk made for? '"The expert may declare that it is impossible. to .put 17 -inch guns into a ship which was 'hot designed to carry diem. Here, again, I say that the expert is not a safe guide. If you can put a 15 -inch gun into a moni- tor, yon may be able .to put a '17 inch gun into a ship • designed for a 15 -inch gun. And there is another possibility. The- Germans may have out -monitored our monitors. They may have put their 17 -inch gun into monitors or, into some . new type of ship designed to convoy and cover transports. Have we got an effeet- tive answer to the 17 -inch naval gun?
