WHY THE ALLIES MUST WIN.

A Xl-t'TIiAL DOCTOR'S STATEMEXT '"There is not a doubt in my mind that Oniwiiy will lie beaten,'" Dr. Benjamin Kami told a reporter of the Boston Ciloiio on his return to the United ■States after inspecting of file large munition factories and hospitals in luigland. "I don't see how anyone <'Ou!d have thought otherwise,'' eontiiuied the doctor. "Xo man can say how ions.' it will take except perhaps a few who are at the very heart of tilings, but England lias made up her mindl ller people realise that they are lighting first of all for their very life, ami secondly for the rest of the civilised world. They will see it through."

THE AXGLO-SAXOX SPIRIT. "It is the Anglo-Saxon spirit as opposed to the military-trained, machinelike mind of the Germans which is going to win this war," declared the doctor emphatically. "The English psychology is a wonderful thing,'' he added. "They don't show their feelings :ts other people do. The men at home play cricket and go to their clubs just as e\er, but at heart thev are deadly scrion.-,. it is the Engii.-h way.''

"The transportation of the wounded is marvellous beyond words," said the doctor. "Why, in 21 hours, or 48 at most, from the time when lie receives h;s wounds, the soldier is in an English hospital, not a London hospital always, either, for many of them are sent to the far north. Of course, only the less seriously wounded are moved at once."

Conscription, the doctor said, had proved an excellent thing for England, especially as it had eliminated the slackers' and created a feeling of unity.

CAPITAL AND LABOR. "I l.liink ono of the must striking tilings is the improvement' in the relations between Capital and Labor." said the doctor. "The old bitterness is largely jrono. The whole attitude of Labor has been magnificent. Skilled union men are working side by side in the shop? with non-union men and those who are utterly unskilled without a whisper of protost. "Men are working with women, working on the same level without complaint and without apparent distaste. AViien you consider the former attitude 011 the subject the change Is amazing. "Every man, woman and child is doing his bit, and it is making England a different nation. 1 '
