now in all the cities of Spain.
The bull fights are in full swin Chiculo, whose promise was noted in the "Morning Post" last year, has still to appear at Madrid, but' he has already fully confirmed all expectations, at Barcelona, where on the failure of the two other toreros to appear, he killed all the six bulls himself, and at Seville, where he has just received the most enthusiastic applause from the most difficult critics. Meanwhile Bel-monte and Joselito continue to hold the field. The contrast between them is very striking, As to sheer skill it might be difficult to decide between them, but Belmonts di plays the greater _recklessne Josciito the more cunning.
When a few years ago Belmonte cut off his pigtail, an act which formerly meant retiring definitely from the arena, his decision was vehemently discussed in all the sent moment. We were told that newspapers and cafes of Spain. It the great war was to end war. It/is certainly a little hard on the did not; it could not. We had allion-seeking foreigner that the very difficult time ahead, whether on the sea, in the air, or on the land, and a club like that could do good if it brought them together and caused them to discuss things and to know things, and apart from August, 1914, so far as his knowledge went—and it went as far as some people's—our country and our Empire had never wanted "you fellows" more than they were wanted now. We were in danger in the early days of 1914, and we were living in very ticklish, if not in dangerous, times now. Whether it} was command of the sea or on land in the different parts of the Empire from Ireland to India, or command of the air, that command was being challenged. He hoped he had succeeded in- saying something about something. He wanted them to take away the warning from a fellow-soldier that their country and their Empire both wanted them to-day as much as ever they had, and if they were as proud of belonging to the British Empire as he was they would do their best, in whatever capacity they served, to qualify themselves for the times that were coming.
