"The war will not be over until 1917 and from now on much of it will be siege warfare," said Major Swadding. "Kitchener will not waste his men without a purpose He will just keep hammering away || until the job is finished." In one particular only, said Major || Swadding, had the British shown inferiority to the Germans, and that was not in the trenches, but at home. "The British workman is taking advantage of the situation, and is | doing just as little work as he car for the money he is earning. - I am afraid that it will Gave to come to! conscription in Britain, sd that these men fan. be made to work. be a disgrace for Great Britain to have to resort to this, but it may be | necessary.
