GREAT BRITAIN.

LORD KITCHENER'S APPEAL. MORE MEN WANTED. "EMPDIE FIGHTS FOR ITS EXISTENCE." ] ,250,000 MJ'.K IN TRAINING. London, November 9. There was a brilliant assemblage at li'-e Lord Mayor's ba'tiquet in the Guildhall.

Lord Kitchener, responding for the army, paid a tribute to the Allies, alio to the London, Scottish,and the Indians. He said the Empire was fighting for its existence. He wanted every citizen to understand this ordinal fact. Only from a clear conception of the importance of the issue could come a great national moral impulse. The country might well be proud of her recruits, but she wanted more ana still more, until the enemy was crushed. The latter also must reckon on the overseas forces, the vanguard of whom they had already welcomed. Besides these they had r.-w one and a quarter million men training in Britain.

The conclusion we draw from these, evasions and omissions in the German press is that the truth is beginning to dawn on the German nation that neither the government nor the newspapers can much longer prevent the people from realising that Germany cannot now hope to win fiieir

war. The American correspondent, deEcribing the working-quarters of the Ger_ man General Commanding, says that no matter how fast or how far an army moves it is completely equipped with a telegraph office that is made ready for the army commander in five minutes after the headquarters are established. It is reported at Amsterdam that many trains are deporting' via Brussels and Louvain carrying guns, infantry, caTalry and waggons marked "to Russia.''
