It may be that renewed platform activity may be required as time
goes on to sustain the spirit and fortify the constancy of the
nation. In the meanwhile, speakers, from my experience, cannot do
better than dilate upon the immense magnitude of the stakes
involved, and probable long duration of the struggle, and the
supreme importance that our country should, by the strength and
effectiveness of its material contribution to the common cause,
exercise a powerful influence both upon the issue of the struggle
and in the resettlement of territories and forces which will follow
upon its conclusion. I am, Sir, yours obediently,
CURZON OF KEDLESTON.

NOW THE WAR HAS COME.
Speech by Winston Spencer Churchill, First Lord of the Admiralty, at
the London Opera House, Sept. 11.
These are serious times, and though we meet here in an abode of
diversion and of pleasure in times of peace, and although we wish and
mean to rouse and encourage each other in every way, yet we are not here
for purposes of merriment or jollification.
