The Australian High Commissioner categorises this statement as ' 'absolutely incorrect"; while the military correspondent of the London Times "warns the country of the prospects of a long war, and urges that corresponding measures should be taken." It should he distinctly understood that nothing is so likely to prolong the war^-€ as a mistaken popular view of the^^ strength of the enemy, for such a comfortable delusion must inevitably result in 3 relaxation of the imperial energies, vrhioh depend entirely upon the sceady and unwave-ing support a-d co-operation * of the public.—" Herald."
