National Duty in War
From The Round Table.
Service For All.
London, Eng., Sept. 22.—The first
and most obvious step is to introduce.
a new spirit into the conduct of pub-
lic affairs. In ordinary times the real
ruler of the eountry is public opinion,
slowly evolved under the ceaseless
hammer of political controversy, and
slowly passed into law through the
ponderous machinery of Parliament.
The Goverement of the day is coin -
posed of party leaders primarily con-
cerned to carry into effect a certain
Programme of reform, and the people I
obey them because they are part of I
the eonstitutional machinery rather
than because they command any au-
thority in themselves. War intro-
duces us to a new world. Speed and
efficiency, secrecy and the withholding
of information useful to the enein
ere essential to success. Public op
• lon is, therefore, dethroned, for it
neither time nor material with wh
forniulate sound judgments. T
imposes upon both Government a
people a totally new set of responsi-
bilities. It requires of the Govern-
ment a new quality of leadership, and
of the People a new kind 'of loyalty
and obedience.
e people, at home or in the field
'carries out that fraction of service
which falls to its lot ivith loyalty and
determination to the mid.
This raises at once the contentious
subject Of military sereiee. In order
to mobilise the whole available man-
hood of the country for military pur-
poses, shOuld WC reeort to compulsory
methods of enlistment? To this ques-
tion there can, only he one , answer.
Whether or not it is required the Gov-
ernment, which knows the facts and
the need, alone can decide. But if it
judges such a measure necessary, then
we have no option but to give it the
powers it asks. The function of the
community in the matter is not to
force the hand of the Government one
way or, the other, but to make -it un-
derstand that it is willing to accept
any method of enlistment for military
service which it considers necessary
to win the war.
There lute, in the past, been. muchin- piisunderstanding about national milie
has tary service of this kind. On the one
ich hand it hes been treated as though it
his 1 involved the permanent introdection
nd of Continental conscription. Theeneae
sure which may be necessary in order
to.complete the mobilization of a na-
tional army, by far the greater part
of which is already voluntarily en-
listed, ought not, and indeed cannot,
have anything 'to do with' military
organization after the war. That is
! an entirely separate question, and it
le one which Will be' determined not
y any Acts we may pass now, but
by our success or failure in the war
itself. The one thing which would
make conscription certain would be
the triumph of the Prussian ideals of
force and war.
• On the other hand, compulsory ser-
vice has been objected to on the
ground that it is inconsistent with the
free principles of the British Consti-
tution won in long, centuries of strug-
gle. This objection is based on a mis-
apprehension. rt implies that what is
proposed is that an arbitrary Govern-
ment should begin to coerce an un-
willing people by force. That is im-
possible in a democratic country. No
Government 'could survive, even in
war, which proposed to undo in any
way the constitutional work of the
last two hundred years and put power
back permanently - into autocratic
hands. Nationtil military service in-
volves an act of a totally different
kind. It is one which only the peon
hemselves can enact. It can b
rought into force only if the people
eclat.° by a deliberate Act of Parlia-
ment that, as a nation, they authorize
he Governmenteto take the necessary
teps.
Such a measure however, though
oluntarily accepted by the nation,
nd imposed by popular consent; does
we've two things. It ends tempor-
rily the voluntary system, to far as
ilitary service is concereed, and with
the fundamental merit of the sYs-
m, that it places the responsibility
r judging where his duty lies and
r clbing it, squarely on the individual
a responsibility usually only exer-
sed in national affairs at the ballot'
x. It also involves a temporary in-
reerence with the normal liberty of
tion of the citizen. But there are
'nos wlien it is necessary to sacrifice
erty temporarily in order that it
ay be preserved in the long run.

r has sacrificed his Personal liberty,
and subjected himself to a most
some discipline, in order that a g
caese may be served thereby; an

• unless it proposes, regardless of popu-,
larity or outcry, any and every mea-
sure which it may consider necessary
eo win the war, unless it insists on ,
prompt and complete obedience to the
national law, it is failing to discharge
he functions of a national executive.
In time of war the primary duty of
the Government is to govern, and this
ls, a reeponsibility which it can neither
escape nor 'share. '
But if the Government is to pet as
it should the people on their side must
give it loyalty and obedience and that
means that they must voluntarily put
themselves under orders till the end of 1
the war. No body of men can co-
• operate for a common purpose if each
one is free to work or not as he .
chooees, and to choose what work he'
should do. They must elect an execu-
tive committee and give it the power
to allot the work between all accord-
ing to a single plan of action and ac- t
cording to their • several capacities. b
Each must then do his appointed task d
faithfully and punctually. Only so
sin a machine be made to work, whe- t
• thee it be human or of steel. Only so s
can an army manoeuvre so as to de-
feat its enemy. And Only so can a v
• nation make War to the utmost of its a
capaeity, If it means business in the it
war it must freely and of its own a
accord, submit itself to the irksome m
restraints of national discipline. Mr. it
Lloyd George, speaking on July 29th; te
enunciated this principle with great fo
clearness:— t fo
"We have (he said] but one ques- —
tion to ask ourselves—we of all ranks, ei
of all grades, and all trades. Are we bo
doing- enough to secure victory, be- te
cause victory means life for our coun- ac
try? It means the fate of freedom ti
for ages to come. There is no price lib
which is too great for us to pay that in
is Within our power. There is too Ev
much disposition to cling to the -amen- wet
„ itis of peace. ,Business as usual, en-
joyment as usual, fashions, lockouts,
strikes, ca' canny, sprees — all as
usual. Wages must go up, profits
must also improve, but prices must at
all costs be kept down. You will for-
give me, I ars sure, for speaking quite
_ plainly. No man must be called mien
• to serve the State unless he wants
to; even then he has only to be called
upon to do exactly what he would like
to do—not what he is fit for, not what
he is chosen for, but what he himself
would like to do. A man who could
• render more. service by turning out
• munitions must be allowed to go to
the front if he prefers to, and the man
who would be better at the front must
be allowed to stay at home if he feels
more comfortable there. Freedom, af-
ter all, implies the right to shirk.
Freedom implies the right for you to
• enjoy and for others_ to defend. Is
that freedom? -
"War is like a fever, a deadly fe.
tree in your veins, and the rules which
are applicable in health are utterly
•• unsuited to a fever. Restraints which
would be irksome, stupid and unneces-
sary when a man is healthy are essen-
tial to save his life in a fever. What

• Let Britain be beaten and discredited

How a Dervise Described a Lost
Camel.
A Dervise was journeying alone in
desert, when two merchants sud-
enly met him.
"You have lost a camel," said he to
he merchants.
"Indeed we have," they replied.
"Was he not blind in the right eye,
nd lame in the left leg?" said the
ervise..
"Ile was," replied the merchants.
"And was he not loaded with honey
one side and wheat on the other?"
"Most certainly he was," they re-
ied; "and, as you have seen him so
tely, and marked him so particular -
OU can in all probabilitereconduct
to him."
"My friends," said the dervise, "I
ve never seen your camel, nor even
ard of him, but from you!"
"A pretty story, 'truly," said the
erchant; "but where are the Jewels
ich formed a part of his burden?"
"I have seen neither your camel
r your jewels," repeated the der -
e, '
On this they seized his person, and
thwith hurried him before the cadi;
t on the strictest search nothing
ld be found upon him, nor could
y evidence whatever be adduced to
vict him either of ealsehood or of

They were about to proceed against
as a sorcerer when the dervise,

British Negligent.
Those who have seen them and who
are qualified to judge, assume from
the speed and entries of the machine
that these engines are the ordinary
100 horsepower engines used in most
of the German machines.
In connection with this sudden ap-
pearance of German aeroplanes with
• multiple engines and of large size, it
is worth while noting that fully two
years ago Gen. Henderson, then and
now commanding the Royal FlYidg
Corps, stated on more than one occa-
sion at the semi-public meetings of the
Aeronautical Society that one type of
aeroplane necessary for the full
equipment of the Flying Cops was a
big machine with more than one en-
gine.
He was particularly insistent on
the need for more than one engine,
so that if one engine broke down the
other one, or °thee's, would be able to
keep the machine in the air,
Gen. Henderson's opinion was back-
ed up by various other officers of the
Flying Corps, yet in spite of this we
have the extraordinary position that
after the appearance of the first of
these big German aeroplanes, Mr.
Tennant, the 'Under Secretary for
War, announces that we have multi-
ple -engined aeroplanes in course of
construction. 1
It seems fairly obvious that the
German authorities paid more atten-
tion to the opinions of those in Bris
thin who svere best qualified to judge,
of the development of military aero-
planes than did the British authori-
ties.

FINE TRAIN AMBULAN,CE.
New One Built in England a Rolling
Hospital and Hotel.
y!• The latest thing in train arnbu-
st lances, built by the London & North -
ss Western Railway at a cost of some
$35,000 for service in France, is quite
the moseperfect of the kind ever seen.
The train, whose carriages all con-
nect so that on a straight line one can
look Along 800 feet of corridor, is
steam heated and electric lighted
throughout, while every car is pro-
vided with electric ventilating fans.
The two kitchens, marvels of compact
equipment, aroused much enthusiasm.
They will supply the wounded men as
soon as they are brought on board
with hot drinks and soup, to be fol-
lowed later with delicious stews and
more substantial fare. The treatment
room has medical stores, a long table,
and all requisites for operations.
There aro linen rooms, a pharmacy,
and a kit room for the officers, who
have a very comfortable .mess-roorn,
matched by a second mess -room for
the four army nurses assigned to each
train. The staff consists of 42, in-
cluding the cooks—who have their
own quarters—end the orderlies, who
lodge four in a compartment and have
a long, cheerful dining car. • Tanks in
the roof supply the wards and kitchen
with htindreds of gallons of water.
• The special feature of these trains
is the separate ward for infectious
cases fitted to the brake van, •Tlic-
arrangement of the berths in the
wards set aside for lying down cases
is also new. The berths, which can
be raised like those in an ordinary
sleeping car, are arranged in tiers of
three, with the advantage that 36 men
can be conefortablY settled in each
ward. As in all the specially -built
trains, these cars are loaded through
doore at the side instead of through
the open windows, whech was the pld
tyle. The two trains just finithed
are part of a fleet of 24 w,hich carry
British - wounded from the front to the
base hospitals and the ports in France.

Bosom Friend.
As a boy Sir John Jellicoe, Admiral
of the Grand Fleet, attended a school
at Rottingclean; the little Sussex vil-
lage, four miles from Brighton. Apart
from the fact that he was a hard
worker, Jellicoe was undistinguished
from other sboys. • He was known,
however, as a boy of exceptionally
high character, and successfully pasee
ed the very difficult examination
evhich was necessary in those days to
secure admission to the Britannia.
Professor 1VfaaNaughton, who was
at school with Jellicoe, says that the
admiral possessed a large capacity
for fun, "and he was certainly distin-
guished beyond any of my contem-
poraries at school with a fund of ori-
ginality of which I remember one par-
ticularly striking instance. Young
Jellicoe had just entered the school,
and being a new boy, he had to make
his way in the world of schOol-life.
Re proceeded in an eminently original
Way.
"There was a senior boy in the
school," continues the professor,
"whose name, 11 think, was Ingram.
Now, those who know anything about
school life will know that it is hedged
about with all sorts of rules and
points of etiquette, and that it is ex-
tremely difficult for a new boy, espe-
cially at his first corning, to gain the
friendship or conedence of one who
has already an established place in
the school. But John Jellicoe had
evidently determined that it was
worth while to cultivate the friendship
of this senior boy; and he set &mut it
in the following very original way:
"A game of football WaS being
played in the afternoon on the small
playing field which lay within the
school precincts. On one occasion the
bell went out of bounds, and eellithe
went to fetch it. Instead of throwing
it back in the ordinary manner, he
ran back with the ball M his hand,
and, on corning close to Ingram, made
a neat drop-kick, so that the ball
bounded against him with some force.
There was a shout of laughter and
applause, and away ran eellicoe, pur-
sued by Ingram, to a corner of the
field, where they indulged for some
moments in a friendly tussle before.
resuming the game.
"From that day Jellicoe and Ingram
became bosom friends, and though
this trivial incident occurred more
than forty years ago, it has always
remained in my memory. T do not in-
deed remember, either at this or at
any other of the schools where I was
educated, any instance of equally suc-
easeful, awl original boyish diplo-
macy."

GOLDSMITH'S ADVICE.
Though a Spendthrift Realized Advan-
tages of Thrift.
' The poet Goldsmith, though his
works prove him to have been a man
of almost unprecedented politic'al in-
sight, could not manage his own af-
fairs. He was always in debt, and the
more he received for his writings,
whieh were even more popular in his
life time than they are to -day, the
more lie spent and the more debt he
incurred. At his death he owed no
lees than two thousand pounds, which,
allowing fo r the greater purchasing
power of money in that day, 'would be
equal at least to twenty thousand dol-
lars now. The great Samuel Johnson,
Goldsmith's friend and benefactor,
might well exclaim, as he did, "Was
ever poet so trusted beforee" But,
though Goldsmith wap a spendthrift,
he realized. the advantages of that
thrift which, could he have practised
it, would have rnade hen his own mas-
ter instead of the slave of publiehers
and money-lendersWriting to a bro-
ther about the training ofe his son,
Poor Goldsmith said: "Teach, my dear
sir, to your son thrift and economy.
Let his poor wandering uncle's exam-
ple be placed before his eyes. I hall
contracted. the habits and notions of a
Philosopher while I was exposing my-
self to the insidious approaches oif
conning; and often by being, even
With my narrow finances, Charitable to
excess I fingot the rules of justice,
and placed myself in the•very situa-
tion of the wretch who thanked me
for my bounty."
GREATLYDISCOURAGED
OVER BABY'S ILLNESS
Mrs. Jos. Gaudreau, Notre Dame
des Bois, Que., writes: "Last autumn
our baby was very sick and we were
greatly discouraged. The doctor did
not seem able to help hien, and we be-
gan using Baby's. Own Tablets, which
soon made him a fat, healthy child."
Thousaeds of other mothers give
Baby's Own Tablets the same praise.
The Tablets regulate the stomach arid
bowels, break up colds and simple fe-
vers, expel worms, cure colic, and
make teething easy, They are sold by
medicine dealers or by mail at 25
cents a box from The Dr. Williams'

LORD KITCHENER'S TASK.
He Is Making Ready for the Knock-
out Blow.
It is puzzling many what we
doing with the armies we have ra
ed. Everyone expected certain aeti
ties when we had reached' a certa
strength, and in more than one infi
ential quarter the feeling has be
expressed that Lord Kitchener shou
now' take his true position as Bri
ein's foremost soldier, writes an En
lish correspondent.
I believe that the elation would
almost unanimous in transferrir,
Kitchener to the field, but we mu
first of all be sure that his work
home is finished. He set out tope
form what seemed an impossible tasl
namely, the raising of an army num
bered not by thousands but by mi
hens. There was only one man i
Britain capable of even tackling tha
job—Kitchenet.
That task is not yet finished, fo
Lord Kitchener will make one mot.
appeal—and it will be the last. Marl
that. The register will be his guid
as to the number of men he will as
for, and liwknows that the call will b
answered. He is in no great hurry t
make that call, for Tightly we ar
now dealing with arms before th
man, and certain events may eve
happen that will enable the Allies t
win victory at present strength; bo
it is well known in military circles
that Lord Kitchener will not considee
his work at the War Office done until
Britain has a reserve superior to any
of the Great Powers,
Lord Kitchener is tho silent man of
war, and he is making ready, for the
knock -out blow. We have not yet re-
taliated upon the Germans with a
weapon like the poison gas, but that
does not mean that we cannot.
Kitchener is not only building up
armies, he is creating weapons and
preparing surprises. The scientist
and the inventor have leen called up
by Britain's strong man. When the
hour comes to employ the new weap-
ons and the new armies Germany will
do more than talk of peace, then
Kitchener will take his true position
as leader of the Britieh Army in the
west.

The subject of the discussion was
the imperfection of man. The scepe
tical man held that human beings
aren't so very wonderful, after all,
and the preacher didn't agree with
him.
"But, surely," protested the scof-
fer, "you must admit that man is a
bungle job? Why, even you, in
your work, must have noted many de -
Teets in the human organism, and
have thought of better physical con-
trivances."
The preacher smiled gently.
"Yes, I have," he replied in cool
sarcastic tones. "You see when" I
want to shut out anything disagree-
able from my sight. I can always
draw down my eyelids, like this; but
nnfortunately I haven't any flaps to
my ears."
