THOROUGHLY SATISFIED.

SIR WILLIAM ROBERTSON'S CONFIDENT VIEW. Recently unveiling a war memorial at Bradfield College, Sir William Robertson said: Wo are now passing through a time of some stress —not very groat stress,, yet we must expect that it wall be greater in the future —and in tnis connection we must remember that success in war, as in nearly everything else, invariably goes to those who show the greatest determination and who can best set their teeth. That is a remark that implies net merely to soldiers and sailers, but to people at home, from the highest to the lowest. You wonder what I think about how 7 the war is going. What I think about tire war is this. Wo have every reason to be thoroughly satisfied what we have done to date, seeinjjthe start we had, and we must look forward to the future with complete confidence, subject to tire condition that we do the right tiring, and that we do it in time. And I cannot help thinking that the whole Empire—l am referring to women as well as to men —is fully prepared to make any further sacrifices that its leaders may toll it are necessary itr order to achieve complete victory, and to ensure that the supreme sacrifice made by so much of the best of our manhood shall not have been made in vain.
