What is Germany' s object In her present war of
aggression, and what are the issues, so f ar as they
affect Great Britain ?
The experienced Military Correspondent of the
Timet writes : " I t Is not a question of 8ervla. nor
of Russia. I t Is a question of isolating England In
order that when isolated she may be compelled to
submit to German dictation., I t is a question of
destroying the security of the Mediterranean,
through which England' s route to Egypt and India
and the bulk o f her food supplies pass. I t is a
question of circumventing the independence of.
Holland, Belgium, and Luxemburg which England
Is pledged to maintainan Independence, more-
over, which guards her most yital interests at
home, the coot col of the Channel, through which
German shipping and German warships mrist pass
before they can prey on British jroerchantmen on
the high seas, cut off British food suppUes, and
detach our oversea Dominions f rom the Mother
Country." ;
" " " val agreement with France, England has
d French coasts in the north against
ittaok. The French Fleet has been con-
centrated In the Mediterranean to help oar Mediter-
ranean .Squadron in protecting the freedom of our
communications with Egypt and India. I f onc
the German armies are allowed to crush France,
" " ~ land be unable to preserve the
mucycuumuK wj. cfolland, Belgium, and Luxem-
burg, but Germany will be able to annex Frepch
territory'up to Dunkirk, Calais, and Havre, compel
Holland and Belgium to cede l o her their colonies,
eatahlish herself within striking distance of Aus-
tralia and New Zealand, and threaten the safety of
our' trade routes on every sea J' :
I t wi l l be seen how vital are the issues in relation
i this country. I t is praotioally a life-and-death
struggle for our Imperial' realm. Never before in
her history baa there bccaauch an urgent call to
Brltona.to act upon the spirit of Nelson's immortal

of Admiral, and Reaf-Xdmiral Charles E. Madden
has been appointed to be his Chief of the Staff.
Admiral Sir J. R. Jellicoe is the man who about a
year ago taught England a lesson by Striking hard,
in the course of manoeuvres, at vulnerable points On.
the East Coast, by the way he raided, with a force
inferior to that opposed to him, Grimsby, the
Humber, Sunderland, and Blyth, and poured
troopB ashore. Thus he roused a general feeling of
respect for his ability. He was in the Egyptian
War of 1882, he was in the Victoria when she went
down in the ghastly disaster off Tripoli, and was
one of the f ew of the ship's company who survived
to face the court-martial into the catastrophe. . He
fought side by side with the Germans, when the
Allied Forces, under Sir Edward Seymou*, went to
the relief of the Pekin Legations, and was severely
wounded. ' Earlier In his career he won a medal for
a gallant effort to save the lives of the crew of a
steamer stranded on a sand-bank near Gibraltar.
Born on December 5th, 1859, the son of Oapt. J. I I .
Jellicoe, of Ryde, he entered the Navy on July 15th,
1872. He has frequently served at the Admiralty,
in the Ordnance Department, as Controller of the
Navy, and as Second Sea Lord. His commands
afloat have included the old Atlantic Flelet, now
incorporated In the Home Fleets, and the] Second
Division of the Home Fleet. Among his decorations
is included the German' Red Eagle.

Admiral Sir John Jellicoe has received the

moment In our national history I send to you, and
through'you to the officers and men of the fleets of
which you have assumed command, the assurance

During the week the prices of provisions gene-
rally have advanced f rom 10 to 30 per cent., whilst
the prices bt foreign sugar 4nd bacon have risen
abnormally owi ng to shortage occasioned by the
war preventing the-usual supplies from reaching
us. The panic demqjDda Of people wishing to lay
in unnecessarily large stores also caused an upward

check this demand; still prices in the Island gene-
The Government have Issued a tariff for general
provisions as follows, these prices to ; be the
maximum retail caih prices up to and including
Monday: Granulated sugar, 4d. per lb.; lump

"sugar enters show an upward tendency.
Retailers are required to pay cash for goods and
freightage, and they urge that employers should
pay their men weekly instead of fortnightly, or even
monthly, to ojbviate difficulty being created by the
probable necessity' for the cash payment of trades-
large demands of the Government.
Flour and feeding meals generally have advanced,
and the price of bread is increased in most districts

A well-known provision dealer points out that
trade has now become more or less normal again.
There has been considerable delay in getting
perishable goods daring the last f ew days owi ng to
the docks having been closed, as well as the banks,

The public are asked to avoid panic demanda
upon tradesmen, as there is no reason f or getting

poorest class, who cannot purchase in this way.

They left this country on July I S on a trip to

rould requirei to be examined, and'pocte redanfe

Americans began to make hasty preparations to
