The re- sult, far, has much in eommon with all past endeavors, in that it is unappreciated and unproductive results. Viscount Bryce, once an ambassa- dor to the United States, and the author of a history of that country, is as grieved over the new break iu the negotiations as any man could possibly There need be fear among Irislimen, he warns, that the English, irritated though they are by Sinn Fein virulence, propose to abandon home rule. Lest suspicion of this purpose should become com- mon, he delivers this earnest mess- age to England: "Englishmen, who "have been pressing the élaims of Ireland for thirty years, have no doubt of what Is needed now. Parliament ought to bring into operation a large and ef- fective Home Rule scheme. Ire- land, on her part, ought to make it plain to the world that the Irish people stand in line with Britain, France and America, which peopie are giving all that is dearest to them In their determination to 'save the world from the menace of Ger- man ruthlessness and tyranny. If Ireland loves liberty and justice how ean she fail to feel with them and to wish that her sons should fight be- side them in such a cause?" Nothing but a hearty, voluntary service on the part of Ireland to-day can secure her the respect of the Anglo-Saxon nations.

DESTRUCTIVE CRITICISM. During a war period there is a tendency to criticise the government, its officials and all measures adopt- ed; the longer the war is prolonged, the greater becomes the national un- rest and the more widespread and bitter the eriticisn of men and me- thods. There exists in every com- munity a type of citizen who im- agines that he knows far better how to run the war than do the military authorities. Those who are now en- gaged in fighting the conscription policy of the Canadian government, and thus presenting a divided rather than a united front to the enemy, would seem to fall into this class. Their attention is called to a, new society which has been formed in the United States, and known as the "Antibellyache Society." Its mem- bers avow the belief: - "That even I could not run. this wir and please everybody; "That war must necessarily inter- fere with some peaceful operations and pursuits; + "That all men ' should help as much as possible, and complain as little as possible--that they should 'ean' ithe bellyache."
