There is no thought of quitting until the job is done. To the British public Mr. Asquith makes a plea notable for its) frankness. He admits the disappointment of the Dardanelles cam paign, he deplores the failure of Greece to fulfil her pledges, he ac- knowledges that, if Lord Derby's recruiting plan fails, compulsion in some form or other will be needed to keep up the strength of British armies. But he believes that France and England together can save the Balkan situation. And he points to the fact that on the western war front “since last April, on balance, the Germans have not gained 8 foot of ground.” Whatever the strength or weakness of British war ministers, what- ever British armies have or have not managed to accomplish, there is one thing of which a critical world needs to be often reminded. “Thero} they are,” as Mr. ‘Asquith says, “the men of the Grand Fleet, living unnoticed, unadvertised, performing with efficiency and vigilance which cannot be described but which has cleared the whole high from one end to the other, of German warships and mercantile ma rine.” The costly German fleet is locked up in the Baltic and “the| whole maritime resources of Germany have been reduced to sporadic and constantly diminishing efforte of submarin When anybody feels like belittling British achievement so far in the struggle let him recall the easly months of the war and try to think what commerce would be like to-day if scores of Emdens were scouring the seas.

E HAVEN'T heard a single lament over the fact that several | hundred thousand dollars’ worth of convention, stenography, printing, etc., went to apparent waste when the State re-| jected the new Constitution. Nor is there, indeed, anything to cry shout. Political lessons come high and the State has paid some stiff bills for this sort of education. Tt would have cost far more in the end to have dodged this par- ticular lesson than it will to learn it and turn it to profit. The next Constitutional Convention ought to more than make up in character, composition, care and quality of the finished product for whatever the State has lost on its predecessor. It is to the credit of the electorate that to mighty few voters would it occur, even for an instant that they ought to vote for a bad Constitution because, after all, a good deal of money had been spent!
