" Light in the tunnel" 'was the burden of -Mr. Lloyd
George's oration at Neath on Friday week, when he received the freedom of the borough ; and the simile interpreted in a reasonable way our recent successes in France, with a warning against over- confidence and a hasty belief in an early end to the war. Mr. Lloyd George had, he said, always anticipated a long struggle against one-of the most powerful nations on earth, which for two if not three generations had thought war, taught war, preached war, planted war, and plotted war. But we were getting on through a long tunnel. We had travelled a good many miles since March 21st, and the end of the tunnel was getting near, though we might have dark days now and again. "Never mind : you are getting through : full steam ahead. To half do work is to double it."
