We are delighted to hear that Mr. Lloyd George is
to take the field in a recruiting campaign, and we trust that Lord Curzon will stand by him. The Chancellor of the Exchequer could not be doing better or more legitimate work, and we do not doubt that his power of communicating the patriotic enthusiasm, which it is an open secret inspires him as strongly as it does any man in the country, will prove of immense use in awakening the nation. Such awakening is needful. Strange as it may seem, half the country does not yet realize that the plain answer to the plain question, "How can I help ?" must be, "Enlist, if you are young enough, and if not, see to it that every man whom you can influence shall do his duty by enlisting." If that is done, we can make ourselves safe and can end the war. If not, we are in deadly peril of the national disaster of a prolonged war.
