purposes is so great that nothing but the most effective organisation of the whole human material available will give us any reasonable hope of victory. To leave outside of the scope of our organisation something like 1,500,000 men of fighting age because they do not come within the scope of a parliamentary pledge given last November is to invite defeat.

This question of general compulsion has now become the test case between the advocates of whole-hearted national effort and those who believe in the possibility of war kept well within the limits of commercial and political convenience. And it bids fair to precipitate a definite struggle between them in the House of Commons. It is now matter of common knowledge that the Unionist War Committee, under the leadership of Sir Edward Carson, definitely mean to force the issue, and that a small but not inconsiderable body of Liberals will support them. What immediate effect that may have upon the Coalition Government, whether it will break up, or whether on the contrary it will shed one or two of its more advanced members and harden its heart in its coalitionism,' is a matter for infinite conjecture. What is certain is that its own inherent weakness and the inexorable march of events must before long bring it to its fall. But that fall must come soon if real, definite, conclusive victory is yet to be achieved.

CORRIGENDUM.

On p. 113 of No. 446, at the end of the first paragraph, there is a statement implying that women-typists and shorthand writers continually lived, before the war, below the poverty line. This is, of course, far from being the case; and the author of the article desires to rectify the statement, which arose from inadvertence on the part of the editor, who omitted an intervening passage touching certain other classes to whom the remark in the last sentence of the paragraph correctly applied.
