P. is bound to put the stranger right on these questions of high politics. “‘Major General ‘Sam,’ in his own mind, has ‘Race’ Kit- chener and ‘Jack’ Freneh backed off the map. Joffre, Hindenberg, Duke Nicholas, Kaiser Wilhelm and the rest of the outfit are mere apprentices. Major General Sam is Julius Ceasar, Marlboro, drew Jackson, General Grant, Theoflore Roosevelt, the old hero's death as the greatest Driving Force—the greatest D. F. fer short—in his- tory. One way and snother, he’s Canada’s prize exhibit in this struggle. It needed a Pan-Euro- pean war as a background for General Sam's lurid virtues and we got it. The conflict traces right back to Sam Hughes. He's an ex- pensive luxury, costs us fifteen millions a year in times of peace, and ten times that much at pres- ent, but we've just naturally got to keep him. We can't let go. Premier Borden objects to swap- ping Kiteheners while crossing a stream.” “He must be some general,” the stranger remarks thoughtfully. general! Now you're shouting! He diseovered the Ger- man Menace as far back as 1870, discovered it before Kaiser Wil- helm had had his attention called to it, knows that the blamed thing had never been killed, studied it on the spot only two years ago, went over the ground when there was no trenches to stumble into and can tell you right now just where the leaders on both sides make their mistakes. Did it all off his own bat, too. Took a bunch of sunshine colonels over to help him, but decided to leave them in London and run all the risks him- self, aceompanied by one steno- grapher. There's nerve foryou!" From which imaginary conversa- tion, a fair sample of hundreds that are buzzing around Ottawa, you are at liberty to infer that ‘Major-General Sam is about as popular with some of his col- leagues as a German band might be at an Orange lodge meeting in Toronto. The truth seems to that General Bam has got in wrong with everybody, with the militia “Some the spending committee, Bob Rogers, the high-ball brigadiers, the army contractors, and a large the Duke of Wellington, Napoleon Bo- napare, George Washington, An- and Neit- zsche’s Superman rolled into one.

German diplomacy couldn't chal- lenge more than the major-general without trying. Everybody has a fault to find, but hebody find just what the fault is. It all depends on where you sit. Wherever there was a pet Major-General Sam seems to have stepped upon it. I met a man the other night who said that the major general talk- ed too much—he called him the Audible General—but that’ is a failing shaged by a large number of our leading statesmen. Talk- ing too much is what makes Han- sard what it is, a work far too vol- uminous ever to be turned into raised letter for the blind, which explains, in a manner, why so little light reading is to be found in its pages. It is no secret that the major general has always been a hair-trigger talker and that owing to the way he is rifled and his high muzzle his words are liable to dum-dum be- Tt may General Sam trouble has done can corn velocity fore reaching the mark. be true that Major told Lerd Kitchener how te man- age the campaign: that he in- structed Winston Churchill just where to look for submarines in the English Channel; that he put the kibosh on General with his right and promoted him with his left; that he advised To- ronto to put ice on her head; that (Cotinued on Page Three.
