Curzon recently addressed a large gathering, which included masters and boys of the school, on the war, Lord Curzon concluded an hour's speech with the following advice (1) Don't think the war does not affect you dividually: it touches every one of us. (2) Don't be overjoyed at victory or down-hearted at defeat. (3) Don't be unnerved by personal or family bereavement. (4) Don't be frightened at the Casualty Lists. (6) Don't think that you know how to wage the campaign and that the War Office does not: accordingly, don't write to the papers telling Generals and Admirals what they ought to do. (6) Don't get nervous because the Progress of the war is slow; ib can only be slow in these stages. (7) Don't believe all you read in the newspapers, particularly when it comes from Berlin. (8) Don't underrate the enemy. (9) Don't waste breath in attempting to ascertain what is to happen to the German Emperor in this world or the next. We will endeavour to dispose of bim in this world, and We will leave to others hid ulterior destiny. (10) Don't begin to divide up the German Empire before you have got hold of it. (11) Don't listen to anyone who cries "Halt"! before we have carried out the full Purpose for which we are fighting. (22) When the war is over, don't throw away the lessons of the war.
