The\nfull importance attached to the preservation ot that ntutrality by British statesmen ol all periods for a\nthousand years past can only be rea-\nli\/.ed by a study uf the history of continental wars in which Qireat Britain\nhas taken part.\nIt may be said that most of the\nbloodiest and most costly wars wbieli\nEngland has waged Hin-e the Norn an\nconquest in 1061) have been (ought to\nprevent the domination ol Belgium\nand tbe Netherlands by an all-powerful European nition. As tar bac'< as\nthe reign of Edward I., we find the\nBritlBh fleet engaged in a great naval\nbattle with France at Sluis (1340).\nBy this victory Flanders was saved\ntemporarily from complete domination by the French. From this time\nup to the end ot the Fifteenth Cen\ntury the most important feature ol\nthe political history of Flanders was\nthe persiBtent endeavor of the Kings\nof France to obtain a preponderating\ninflu?nce in that country. Any such\nendeavor was always strenuously opposed by England.\n.From the opening of the Sixteenth\nCentury, wh'n the power of Fran:c\nwas on the wane, Flanders fell under\nSpanish domination. The Netherlands was lost to tbem following a\nrebellion caused by the persecution\nof the Iniiiisition, hut by 1580 Antwerp was aga'n in their hands, and\nthey threatened again to conquer the\nDutch and overrun Holland. Queen\nElizabeth th-rcforo came to the aid\nof the Netherlands, nnd sent troopB\nagainst Phillip II., ol Spain. Drake\nput an end to the ambitions of\nSpain aB the dominating power ot\nEurope by his victory over tbe great\nArmada In 1.18s. Had he not succeeded in this, the veterans of the\nSpanish army, under the Duke ol\nParma might h.ive landed on British\nsoil and have reduced England to the\nposition ot a vassal state. Spain wbb\nnot finally dispossessed o! her Influence In Northern Ellro.ic until 1057,\nwben Cromwell's troops, lighting Bide\nby side witli thc French ultimately\noverthrew the power of Spain,\nIn the Seventeenth Century France\nngaia became tbe chief source ol danger to Grent Britain, l'nder I,mils\nXIV., one ol tho ablest Kings ol\nFrance, Bhe threatened togaln possession ol the Netherlnnds, and thus\ndominate Kn;land. William III., ol\nEngland, Prince if, Orange, n.iturally\naided the Dutch against the armies\nof France. Indeed Irom 1CS3 to 1815\nKngland was almost continually aiding the Netherlands, which then, ol\ncourse, Included Belgium, againBt\nthe French.\nTbe great campaign of the. Duke\nof Marlborough, from 1704 to 1714,\nincluded in which were thc battles\nof Blenheim, HamllUcs, Ondenardc\nnnd Malplaipiet, eventually brought\nto nn end Ihe efforts of l.ouis XIV.\nto gain the Netherlnnds.\nHis successor, l.ouls XV.. tried\nleehly, although wllh occasional successes, to control the late of the\nNetherlands, but nlwnys theBe designs were frustrated by England,\nThe final elTort ot France to con\nquer England through control ol the\nNetherlands, began in 1798 and did\nnot finally end until tbe power ol\nNapoleon was overthrown nl Water\nloo. Napol on's Baying that the possession o' Antwerp meant \"a pistol\npointed \u201et Hie heart af England\" is\nwell known. Al] his last great ef\ntorts were to gain control of that\nport, and his final overthrow was\ndue to tb \u25a0 Importan e he attached\nto lt.\nIn the light of tlies. historical\nfacts it is not surprising that the\nBritish Empire is determined to go\non fighting until Belgium Is once\nmore safely established as a \"bufler\nBtate.\" There can be n < lasting peace\nor security for the heait ,if th\" Empire until nil danger of the domination ot Belgium and Holland, by a\npower wh ino ambitions include thc\nentire domination of Europe, has\npassed away.\nOur Premier could tell\na GreatjStory\n(Reproduced from the Week.)\nIn tbe crisis through which tbe\nBritish Empire is now passing, every\nloyal subject of King George ueuger-\nljf seeking fur uews, nnd not a few\nare chatiug muter the restrictions imposed by a asceesary censorship, Men\nwho hive the uieuiH und are tOj old\nto fight, have gone home simply that\nthey might he near to the hart of\nthings, in t mch with the great\nforces which today are organizing the\ndeftnee of the whole Kmpire, and\npossibly more than all that they\nmay be where the flrst n-ws of what\nhas really transpired may be ob\ntained. If any person were to leavt\nVictoria tuday, eo direct tn London\nspend a week there, interview the\ngreatest personage ;n Kngland, be\nhonored with a royal au Hence and\nreturn direct to Victoria, what\nstory he would have to tell, and\nwith wbat an eager crowd of listeners would be be surrounded, yet al\nthough this has been tbe almost inestimable privilege of our Premier,\nhe haa been slow to proclaim the\nfact, and the public knows little of\nthe story he could tell. Obligation\nand discretion impose severe Umita\ntiona on the story, but with bi3 invariable kind-iess, Sir Richard McBride has taken The Week into his\nconfidence, as far a* he felt justified;\nand always bearing in mini the re\nstrictions imposed, aa much of the\nstory as serves tho public interest\nmay be told. Sir Richarl's purpose\nin going to London was two-fold;\nprimarily, as a representative of the\nDominion f\u00abovernmcnt tu discuss with\nthe naval and military authorities\ncertain measures suggested in the in\nterest of Canadian defence and of\nCanada's adequate contribution to\nthe fighting forces of the Empire:\nsecondly, to intervHv intlentlal fin\nancial magnates with reference to\nconditions in British C'oliimhia, and\nespecially as to its tlnancial needs in\nthe near future. The latter subject\nmay he dismissed with the statement\nthat these interviews were satisfactory. On the former momentous ques\ntiois, Sir Richard, in the short space\nof five days had repeated and pro\nlonged interviews at the Admiralty\nand nt the War Ofllce, with Enrl\nwhen they ought to he on Salisbury\nPlaius, getting the most scientific\npreparation, and where they would\nbe in rencb of the front. On his return Sir Richard met Sir Robert\nBorden ut Ottawa and reported fully\non his mission. There is little doubt\nthit when Parliament meeta in January, a comprehensive measure dealing fully with military and naval\nmatters will be brought down, and it\nla not unreasonable to Buppose that\nIt will be based largely upon tie information which Sir Richard .obtained while in Londoh. Sir Richard's\nlast word was once more to emphasize the seriousness of tbe position,\ntbe absolute devotion, one might almost way consecration, of the people\nat home to the duties imposed by\nwar, antl the urgent desire that Canada should prove herself wo thy of\nher relation to tbe Mother Country\nund her proud position in th1 Empire. Sir Richard suid that the keynote uf the whole situation lay in\nthe parting words uf Earl Kitchener,\n\"Tbis is war.\"\nThe Oranbrook Branch uf the St.\nJohn's Ambulance Corps wish to\nthank the following Indies for their\n* ind donations MIhh .leeks, | paii\nwristers; Mrn.

While the details of those\nInterviews are of course private, it Ib\npermissible to sny that Sir Richard\nwas authoriwd to express the determination of the Canadian Oovernment to do its full share in the present crisis, and the object of the in\nterview was to ascertain exa?tly the\nviews of the English authoritie8\nthe subject. The one thng which impressed Hir Rieha'rd most was the\nwar. To use his own words, \"Eng'\nInnd his given herself np to the\nhunim-Hs of war. At the n o nent, she\nis thinking of nothing else. She rea\nIbe* the literal truth of Earl Kitrh-\nencr's words in the House of Lo-ds,\n'The British Empire is fighting for\nits existence.'

The\nwriter, in part, expressed bis regret\nat not being able to be present at\nthis meeting owing to his having to\ngo to Calgary to be with his mother who is suffering from a serious\nillness.\nThe ine.'ting expressed its sympathy at hearing tbe news and were\nwishful for a speedy recovery.\nThe secretary was then called upon to read the minutes of the three\nexecutive meet ngs which have been\nheld since the new officers were elected. On motion they were adopted as\nread.\nArising out of the minutes, Mr.\nHunt asked for information re the\nsending of a tt Ingram to o.ir member,\nHon, R, F.

That consummation has now been brought about hy\nhis appointment as First Hca Lord of\nthe Admiralty to succeed Admiral\n1'rlnce l.ouls nf Hnttenhcrg, whose\nresignation wns caiucd by popular\nclamor aroused by the fact that he\nis of Autttrlnn birth nnd parentage,\nthough a llrltlsh subject by naturalization. Thnt thore should bo a call\nfor Lord Fisher's serviced nt this crl\nsis In the nflalrs of Groat Britain Is\nnatural. More than to any otber one\none mnn, tbe present ofllcloncy of the\nBritish Navy Is due to him. Ile\nplanned thc ships, ho trained the ofllcers, ho Inspired thc strategy which\nIn now holding command of the North\nHen. Bvon more, Rnglmul for years\nlooked to blm to win n great naval\nvictory some duy ngnltist a foe, pro-\nNiimnlily (iermany, wblch should\ncrown him a second Nelson.\nFor a man who has done So much\nho Is curiously unknown to hln fol\nlow countrymen. Entering the navy\nat 13, he did good service like many\nanother officer, but attracted attention almost exclusively from his superiors. His great opportunity did\nnot come until he was over 60. Then\ncame a day when there was oilered to\nhim the highest prize of a sailor's\nambition in time of peace\u2014the position di First Sea Lord.\nBut even that honor he would only\ntake on terms. He carried in biH\nbrain a full scheme of reorganization. He believed the train.ng and\nthe distribution of the navy to be\nperilously out of date. He had\nwatched the change from wooden\nwalls to iron citadels packed with\ntremendous and exquisite machinery.\nYet there had been no fundamental\nchange since Nelson's tine in the\nmethod of training officers for their\nprofession.\nThere had been a revolution in\nEngland's political relations, and it\nwas clear to him that the struggle of\nlife nnd death in the future would\nbe fought in tbe North Bea and no\nother where. Yet England's fleets\nwere still organized as though the\nMediterranean would he, ns in the\neighteenth century, the chief scene of\ncrisis. British ships were stationed\nanywhere but where they would probably have to fight.\nSir John Fisher\u2014as he. wnB then,\nhis creation as Baron Fisher of Kil-\nverstone dates from 1909\u2014clearly\nstated his Intentions. They were approved. He went into the Admiralty\nto carry them out. His activities\nwere revolutionary though constructive. He was denounced for the sheer\ndaring and resolution of the changes\nhe introduced. But he was commissioned from the outset to effect them.\nThat was what he wns there for. To\nthe foreign mind he appeared like\nnothing so much as an incarnated\ntorpedo waiting for its war bead to\nbe fixed on it.\nAnd what did he accomplish? At\nOsborne he trained the officers of today to bandit' the grim mnchines\nwhich have superseded forever the old\nvision of masts and sails. He vastly\nincreased efficiency while reducing expense. He struck one of the estimates every penny which did not\n>ield fighting value. He mercilessly\nscrapped Bcores of weak vessels that\ncould neitbor attacit nor run. He\ntransferred the men to real fighting\nships. He created with tbe inspiration of nothing Icbb tban genius tbe\nsystem of nucleus crews, by which every ship in the reserve can be mobilized for war in a few hours. Abo.-e\nall, bc swung tbe whole lleet, us it\nwere, clean round to face thc tasks\nof tbe future.\nHe recognized that in the twentieth\ncentury as iu the seventeenth, the\nBritish Empire will be saved or lost\nnot in the Mediterranean hut in the\nNorth Bea. Quietly he maued Brit-\ni ish strength In the narrow seal until, in Admiral Muhnn's words, \"8C j\nper cent, df the Br.tish battleship\nj strength wus concentrated in or near\nhome waters.\"\nWhen Ftehsr was appointed First\nSea Lord in vm. a Unionist Government wns in power, with Lord\nHnlhornn ns First Lord of the Admiralty. Within two months Fish\ner's inllueuce wns evidenced by Lord\nBclborne's Issue of a memorandum\nand circular Utter dealing In drastic\nfashion with tbe distribution snd\nmobilisation of thc lleet. Dilating\narrangements were cancelled and the\neffective wnr licet divided into two,\none In commission at sea nod the\nother In commission In reserve.\nOnly n month later Fisher mnde\nhh next departure which wiih of u\nkind more nnl ciliated to attract general attention He then showed that\nhis practical, nn aPart from bis st-a-\nteglC, policy was to scrap every naval vessel Hint wai not abvolntily\nup-to-date. In tbo first threo months\nof IW, do fi wer thnn 120 of Httch\nvessoin were removed from thc porta\nto mooring Hfatlottfl round the roust\nas obsolete.\nAll his life he had been a bard\nworker and be waa untiring at tbe\nAdmiralty. He was constantly i tanning and preparing for tbe war\nwhich has now como. His knowledge\nof naval affairs was all embracing.\nHe knew where each ship was and\nall about it, whether the commander\nwas a good officer, whether he drank,\nwhether he wns a fop, whether he was\nliked by his crew\u2014in fact everything\nabout him.\n\"Confound him,\" said an officer,\nwho served under him in thc West\nIndies, \"I believe be could tell you\nthe exact number (,f cocktails I drink!\nevery time I go ashore.\"\nTo this encyclopaedic Vnnvledge is\njoined tho Vacuity of prompt action\nand utter fearlessness. He proved hts\nccurage over nnd over again in tbe\nCrimean war, the Chinn war of 1859-\n60 and the tombardment of Alexandria.\nLord Fisher has heen described aB\nthe one man in the British navy wbo\nnlwnys hold;? his tongue. In a career of over fcrty years he hns never snoken or written a wo\"d for\npublication; he has never been guilty\nof the slightest indiscretion. Tn these\nfiuys of garrulous generals nnd argumentative ndmirnls, thnt Ib a record\nworth hiving.\nThis strong, Bilcnt man has n horror of notoriety. This trait in his\ncharacter madn it Impossible for him\n'o get a'ong amicably with Lord\nCharles Beresford when the latter\nwas In command of the Mediterranean fleet some yearB ngo. Lord\nCharles Is a fine sailor,, but FiBher regarded him as n leaky vessel, Incurably fond of talking when he ought to\nbold his tongue.\nAs on^ or his fellow officers hns remarked, Lord Fi trr rose \"by dint\ndl sheer brain power, continuity of\n\u25a0uirpose, clear sigbtedness end conspicuous ability to the position he\nnow holds.\" The son of an obscure\nmnn, he haa attnined the highest\nrank in the servlci, where aristocratic Influence counts for much.\nThe strangest thing about this man\nwbo hears upon his shoulders much\nof the weight of the British Empire\nis that be is not an Englishman at\nall in the strict sense of the word.\nHIb father was a captain In thc Seventy-eighth Highlanders, who settled\n \u25a0**\u00ab\u2666\u00ab\u00bb#\u2022\u00bb\u00ab\u2666\u00ab\u25a0\u00bb\u2666\u2666\u2022 *\u00bb\u00ab\u2666\u00ab\u00bb\u2666-\u00bb->\u00bb\u00ab\u00bb\u2022.\u00ab**\u00bb*\u2666\u2666\u00bb\u00bb\u2666*\n\u25a0 IH B .1 [i!
