It is truly splendid the way the colonies are helping the Empire in this war. I don't know where we should be were it not for them. The Indians have been doing great work at the front. It is a great loss to the country by losing Lord Roberts who died doing his duty, but we seem to have the right man at the head of affairs now in the person of Lord Kitchener. Well this cruel war does not look like ending vet, but I am glad to say we are holding our own. It is well that Germany's Germany's two fastest battleships which have been doing our navy so much damage have been destroyed. It is terrible the loss of life there has been, but the Germans Germans must be crushed at all cost. I suppose suppose the apple pickers are right into business business now.
