"To-day is one of the great moments of history. Germany's last
card is on the table. It is war to the knife. Either she starves
Great Britain or Great Britain starves her."
_Mr. Curtin in "The Times."_
Mr. CURTIN has lost a great chance for talking of "War to the

_jeu d'esprit_ was invented.

"The Canadian papers are unanimous that the German peace proposals
are premature, and will be refused saskatoon."
_Examiner_ (_Launceston, Tasmania_).

anyway we are glad she is not going to get it.
