BRITISH BUNGLING.
gi r —No wonder some people cannot understand British proceedings m connection with enemy citizens. \\ lien trio Fenian disturbances were going en, suspected Fenians . were, arrested on sight; when the Empire is.■ fighting for its existence. we waste our ■official tune and energv in nursing enemy subjects and 'guarding them from possible sutferine. If we sack them from positions, wo fill .their purses' as wo would novel fill the purses of our own countrymen. It is no idle statement that tho place is full of Germanism, which is about as bad a disease as it is possible to conceive We don't want, because we can't afford, to have elaborate trials and hearings in. the case of suspects, while the enemy-is growing more and more menacing. A siispccted German should be dealt with by a dictator. Ho could be tried after thn war. This sort of tiling is of a. piece with the l/arclaiielks ' fiasco, and our other military faux pas on every front. \\e shall muddle through, of course, but had we not the Navy, what would become or us?—l ara '^Qj^ IS britannicus.
