And surely the men who undertook to work the Militia Department cannot be made to suller for their despicable eects without dragging down the men higher up who made their plunderings possible. The slogan, "Get rid of the guilty cnes, throw them overboard, the whole of them," sounds. well, but it nr eans the disruption of the Conserva tive party, and it must prepare for the worst. The attempts to show that the Liberals are just as bad as the Conservatives, by a report long | delayed - and by a partizan investiga tor, respecting land decals in the west, will not do.

London, April 14 The early ru mors ascribing the heavy British losses at Neuve Chapelle to some ex- tent to British artillery are now find- ing their way into print. It is said that the artillery was directed to fire at certain points, but, owing to a deranged field telephone service and a fog, the angle of fire was not raised when the impetuous troops took the German lines. In the early accounts no niention was made of this mistake, but the Times now edi- torfally speaks of the 'experience « Neuve Chapelle,, which has been so incompletely explained."
