It was in order to help ever so little in this process that I have tried to tell, as it appears to me, the end of that marvellous story of which I sketched the beginnings in _England's Effort_.
These main facts, it seems to me, can hardly be challenged by any future pressure from that vast critical process which the next generation, and generations after, will bring to bear upon the war.
The mistakes made, the blunders here, or shortcomings there, of England's mighty effort, will be all canvassed and exposed soon enough.

The process indeed has already begun.

And when the first mood of thankful relief from the constant pre-occupation of the war is over, we may expect to see it in full blast.

It would have been easy here to repeat some of the current discontents of the day, all of which will have their legitimate hearing in future discussion.

But this is not the moment, nor is mine the pen.
