glad to furnish any information on application.

THE GREAT WAR.

* * * * *

Our gracious Sovereign—­more so even than his deceased father, who had also a conspicuous gift that way—­has ever shown a singular felicity in voicing the sentiments of his people, but never more so than when he sent this message to Sir John French:  “The splendid pluck, spirit, and endurance shown by my troops in the desperate fighting which has continued for so many days against vastly superior forces fills me with admiration.”  That sovereign message to his heroic soldiers—­such as his ancestor Henry V. might have addressed to his 10,000 long-enduring conquerors on the night of Agincourt—­was nobly supplemented by this passage from the following day’s Speech from the Throne:  “My Navy and Army continue, throughout the area of conflict, to maintain in full measure their glorious traditions.  We watch and follow their steadfastness and valour with thankfulness and pride, and there is, throughout my Empire, a fixed determination to secure, at whatever sacrifice, the triumph of our arms and the vindication of our cause.”
