Even in our appraisement of the great deeds of our allies) we have naturally dwelt' chiefly upon the unexpected and the gloriously bizarre --the slaying of the Goliaths by the daring Davids. We have not stopped to comment on the solidity °•of Mont Blanc. . But it is, after all, on the solidity of the Mont Blanes that we build. We all knew the stuff of which Old England was made. What she has done in this wave -quietly, unboastingly, as is her wont -'leas sur- prised no one who knew English char- acter, English stamina and English his- tory. Imaginative writers have mention- ed various moments at which the blun- dering bully of Berlin lost the war and his cha;.ce to conquer and enslave the world; but those who take long views of -things and recognize the primal forces which have shaped the destiny of nations since the disintegration of the Roman Empire wits agree that, the doom of Germany's despotic ambition was sealed on the day that Britain's councillors wheeled that nation into line with the forces of freedom. If the Kaiser possessed prescience or had read his history he must have shiver- ed -as tradition says we do if some one steps on our grave -when he knew for certain that his spies had lied and that the.etubborn, stick -to -it, bulldog British had decided to live or die with the French. The British have a bad record for an ambitious despot to face. They brought Philip of Spain to his knees --they curbed the flower of Louis the Great of France -- ,they grappled with the mighty Napoleon and never let go. So they entered upon the task of bring- ing down -to paraphrase Rippling -the. I3cta that talked like a Man. They were ander obligations to send some ;50,000 soldiers to help the French. 'the Kaiser, rileasurint their honor by his own, thought they Moults perfunctorily and liberally eeriest() this pledge, and let it go at that. Hence his remark about their "contemptible little antsy." The fact '.1 that Great l,titein alone bas sent on laed said ee.a a total of ;.ix and •a quarter millions. Her Empire has added two and a quarter lulllit i nese to this.

Britain financed the allied nations till we carne in to share the titanic task, Her industries have clothed, munitioned and supplied them in various vital ways. The Germans say she has "prolonged the war." By that they mean that she has kept up the fighting spirit of the allies and •supported their morale. The Briton is a dour fighter and knows no end to a strugs gee save victory or death. He never fights a limited liability war -he goes in with his whole soul. The day that British khaki appeared upon the battlefields of France it was decreed that there could be but one of two ends to this conflict -the collapse of the British Empire or the final failure of Germany's dream of world- -a hundred in place of one. That is the British way. When we send fifteen millions we will have done as well -but not till then. England was no more a military nation than America when the war began. She 1 earned to fight by fighting -and dying, We are profiting today by her tragic experiences, Thousands of American lads will come home to us alive and whole because thousan a of -our blood -brothers from the British Isles have been killed and mutilated -and have taught us how to escape. Britain made her armies while France and her own navy held the gap and then she poured them into France and Flanders by the million to fight back the eruption of Cave Men that threatened to submerge civilization. What the English have done in this war is too recent to need recapitulation. They gradually took over greater and greater sections of the front. They first fought defensive actions with all the dogged courage for which the British are famous- then they created that early turn in the tide which released the series of allied offensives that finally sent the Germans back to the Hindenburg line - and beyond They rose to the rank of a full military partner of France- and there is no higher rank. For all this they paid. There is hardly a home in Great Britain which does not have its unvisited grave in France or Bel. gium-not a street on which the per- manently maimed do not limp to un- accustomed tasks. And the figures show that the percentage of casualties from the Mother Country exceeds the percentage from the overseas Dominions, thus dis- posing of one ofthe vilest, meanest, most dastardly lies of the whole Satanic Ger. man propaganda which charged that the English were putting their Colonials and their Blies in the forefront of the -battle. Lord Northcliffe estimates their killed alone at 000,000. England's contributions outside the Western front have been worthy of a great nation even if they stood alone. Iter navy has kept the seas free for the commerce and the troop transports of the allied world. It has bottled up the Ger- man navy from the first. Her ships have coaled, fed and munitioned the French - brought legions and food supplies front the Seven Seas.
