would the German mercantile marine
have risen in a few. short years from
small beginnings to . second place?
The New York Times asks: "How
could she make that great advance if
the seas were closed against her?
What do Germans' mean when they
talk about freedom of the seas as
something they must have, but have
r
not enjoyed?"
The Times adds: "In furtherance
of her lawful, peaceful, ambitions
Qermany need fear no opposition save
Hint of honorable rivalry. There lies
the source of doubt, Hie uncertainty,
the whole trouble, ' Germany's behavior since the end of July. 11)14,
has not been of a nature to Impress
the nations of Hie world with confidence In the peaceful nature of her
designs. The war she has brought
upon Europe, and her Conduct during
the war, have put in the way of her
commercial development on the seas
and beyond the seas, obstacles vastly
more formidable than any England
has ever thrown in her way. If she
seeks her worst enemy she must look
at home." The "freedom of the seas"

agents, for the purpose of bewildering and misleading neutral nations.
Until the Huns broke the peace Great
Britain's sea-power kept the ocean

THE EMPIRE'S WAR.
The announcement thai Canada is
to offer, for Imperial service, an army
of half a million men in order to
humble 'he arrogant Hun, in his hope
of establishing a world dictatorship,
will cause till citizens of the co tntry
to feel an honorable pride. The
Kaiser is now learning that the British Umpire is in this war to a finish,
and that she is in it unitedly. It is
the weell known perogativs of the
Urilon to lind fault and to object. At
no time is this more in evidence than
in a time of stress, like the present.
Probably it Is carried too far. It must
not be forgotten, however, that it is
that his love of freedom to speak
am do as he likes that has made Ihe
B'Uon among men and the Empire
among nations what it is today.
The British Empire has now,
from all parts, plunged inlo the war
on a gigantic scale. It is evidently,
from now on.' to be the final chapter
in tlie war. That chapter will, it may
well lie thought, be the strangulation
of tlie enemy as a fighting power.
Before another New Year's Day
conies round may peace reign.

pension or allowance paid by Mis

paid to incapacitated men are oft-
times admittedly inadequate, it has
been necessary t0 establish .< Hospitals Commission and Disablement
Fund. The officials of the latter, in
their report to the Federal Government, recommended, among other
measure', that provincial commissions be formed for the purpose of
supplementing these pensions either
by monetary grants or by free train-
