What has Britain done? On every front, her flag unfurled, Fought a world-war round the world: Then, when all is said and done, Ask her Allies, ask the Hun, "What has Britain done?" What has Britain done? For her slain Britannia weeps-- She might boast who silence keeps. But, when all is done and said, Call the roll and count her dead, And know what she has done. REV. F. B. HODGINS _By permission of the Author_ EXTRACT FROM SPEECH OF RT. HON. DAVID LLOYD GEORGE (_Delivered at Queen's Hall on the Third Anniversary of the Declaration of War, August 4, 1917_) While the Army is fighting so valiantly, let the nation behind it be patient, be strong, and, above all, united. The strain is great on nations and on individuals, and when men get over-strained tempers get ragged, and small grievances are exaggerated, and small misunderstandings and mistakes swell into mountains. Long wars, like long voyages and long journeys, are very trying to the temper, and wise men keep watch on it and make allowances for it. There are some who are more concerned about ending the war than about winning it; and plans which lead to victory, if they prolong the conflict, have their disapproval, and the people who are responsible for such plans have their condemnation. Let us keep our eye steadily on the winning of the war. May I say let us keep both eyes? Some have a cast in their eye, and while one eye is fixed truly on victory, the other is wandering around to other issues or staring stonily at some pet or partisan project of their own. Beware of becoming cross-eyed! Keep both eyes on victory. Look neither to the right nor to the left. That is the way we shall win. If any one promotes national distrust or disunion at this hour, he is helping the enemy and hurting his native land. And it makes no difference whether he is for or against the war. As a matter of fact, the hurt is deeper if he is for the war, because whatever the pure pacifist says is discounted, and, as far as the war is concerned, discredited.
