CHESS AND WAR. Dr Lasker,-the famous chess champion, has been studying the present position of the armies in-the West in the liji'nt of chess strategy, and has arrived at the comforting conclusionthat the Germans have no occasion to be dissatisfied with the course of events. Recalling the chess maxim that “nothing is more difficult than tc win a 'game that is won.” he adopts th e view that thi a is the task now confronting the Kaiser’s fct-ces. “If he has so far attacked, now he restricts himself to defence, newly orders his fighting forces, and leaves it to his opponent to make desperate attacks.” As to the ultimate result, “system and method will finally tirumph, just as at chess.” A poll of ratepayers -carried the £IOOO loan for the construction of the Wanganui river bridge; £5,440 for roads in the Taumarunni borough, and £8,434 for drainage in the Bor.ovhh, but rejected a £550 loan for a Municipal Hall.
