MAKES DECISIONS QUICKLY INITIATIVE ARE AND EFFICIENCY, ITS QUALITIES. The Sporting Element--The Fight. ers Full of Game and Spirit, the Swuay-at-Homes Have Monopoly | on the Grumbling. jv Charles H. Grasty Correspondence Feb, 3.--My friend, the 'Coldstream Guardsman, Minister's London, crippled door frost for] who is the Prime man, agreed with me that the quite record-breaking and that the Channel were "But," compared to was a England, across the a lover of comfort. luxury what it will be two or three weeks from now, when the comes There's way to drain the trenches and you've it, sleep in it most three feet of it; your boots are full of it When at you pull them off, unless vou mind your eye, you pull some of your toes off with | them like that, you don't have to be | told twice to go over the top.

"It's a thaw ho got to stand in . - almost There are al- last is That is talk with a sporting flavor. I. Theé"point of view of men bred at} games is bound to be a sporting-one. | England is a social aristocracy, but | it is a sporting as well as a political democracy. The Olympians of so- ciety are not above taking on a team of plumbers and shoemakers for a game of cricket. This war has shown that game-playing in peace time has put something very fine in- to the English Tommy in war time. Readers will have heard the story of the seventeen-year-old Jacky from the Lawentil, not yet thawed out from hours on a winter sea in an open boat, clad only in shirt and a pair of- breeches, walking into the public room of the tavern_to which survivors-were brought, and instant- ly taking possession of the piano, upon which he gaily thummed the war tune: "Pack Your Troubles in Your Old Kit Bag and Smile, Smile, Smile." The rest of the survivors crowded round and joined in the singing. When the cigarettes were being passed, a Tommy who was present sald: . "No, sir; none for .us, is Jack's day." please. This Stay-at-Homes Grumble. | While the men who are suffering | the hardsaips are taking them light-| ly, the stay-at-homes make the row. | These latter have never been "blood- ed," as the 'gallant chaps in the field have, and many of them Reep up a constant grumble at the inconveni ences that war brings in its train. My fruiterer is a well-fed prosper- ous man. He happens to li in a} flat across the street from. my own. Tn his grate there blazes a cheerful ! fire, and he and his family live in| comfort But he poisons the fruit] which | buy from him with his hard- luck story of the effect of the war on the importation and sale of his par- ticular commodity. He assured, however; that he passes all incon- venience onto the 'customer in in-| creased prices. The grumbling of those who are pricked, without being lamed, by war, produces some of the commo- tion that often passes ' for . public opinion. Upon such a ground-swell a partisan or sensational press may easily blow up a nasty sea. Dropping metaphor, there are at the moment signs of journalistic dissatisfaction.

Whether America has pro- fited by this last stimulation, which] offered at a moment when a was notable diplomatic victory had just| been scored by the President, is not] yet apparent, It seems reasonably | clear already that the gist of his argument for universal democratiza- tion went home. Force will not van- ish from the world, but the very best guarantee to BO. with the "reparation and restitution," upon which peace is | to be conditioned, is liberalism. If enduring peace is to. come 'among the Europeans it niust come through breaking / the backs of the autocracies and giving king-ridden peoples self-government. This point has already lodged in the thought of Europe, and has been strengthened by the President's presentation. CUBAN BAY MAY BE BASE FOR U-BOATS Outbreak. Greatly Interests British Officials. ---- London, Feb. 16.--British officials are greatly interested in the news of! the revolutionary outbreak in Cuba,| where, they assert, théy have reason to suspert German agents have been | at work for a long time. Only a few] | weeks ago Captain Hans Boehm, af German army officer, was taken from the Dutch steamer Zeelandia at Fal-] mouth, He had in his possession a | chart of Santa Lucia Bay, Cuba] where, according to other papers seiz- letl at the same time, German agents had secured an oil concession. It is the belief here that the Santa Lucia propect waa boing developed by means of money sent from New York to Havana. The British naval authorities, while they have failed to discover any German submarine base in the West Indies, declare that they have long had reason to suspect the inten- tion of the Germans to establish one ther¢, and as a consequence they look with suspicion upon the Cuban oil project as possibly a blind to hide the establishment of a refuge from which submarines could K operate.
