NEWS OF THE WEEK.
CHRISTMAS week, 1916; has been distinguished by three great events—President Wilson's Note, the Tsar's magnificent message to his soldiers in the field, and lastly, but for us the most tremendous event of all, the summoning of the Daughter Nations of the Empire to the Council Board of War. We have dealt with the President's Note fully elsewhere, but each subject must also be mentioned in our record of the week.
