Abstract

AT the present moment we as a nation are engaged in war; hundreds of thousands of volunteers are joining Lord Kitchener's Army; and it is evident that we are in for a long job. A forecast by the military correspondent of the Times of October 17 contains the following paragraph:—“This war, for us, has hardly begun. We have sent the point of our advanced guard into France to skirmish with the enemy. In the spring the rest of the advanced guard will follow, and somewhere towards the close of 1915 the main body will begin to come within view. We are not in any hurry.”
