Shea-Is  wa-J voted.to the chair. .  Capt Kirk and Lieut. Stenstrom  were present at the' meeting. Mr.  " Stenstrom stated that if the. council  would furnish the poles, the local  compHny ,of the 225th battalion  would"pr )cure the wire and extend  . the lighting system to the military  camp at the fairgrounds.

In consideration of the  free digging  they did not expect to pay any   tap  '/"'ping   fees:    The'-chairman  of' the  water and   light  committee   stated  that it would   be   more  satisfactory  to   the   council    if   the    applicants  would present a regularly signed'petition for water accompanied by the  usual  tapping fees,   and  allow   the  city to pay for tha exte- son   of  the  system.

The  attendance was large, and frequent  expressions of appreciation were in  evidence throughout the entire performance.  The program opened under-tbe  able baton of Choir Leader A. J.  Harais with F. C. Maker's cantata,  "The Voice of the Shepherd." The  rendition of the several solos, duets  and "choruses was impressives and  at times rousing, while the familiar  and ever favorite figure of "The  Good Shepherd," caring for and  giving His life a ransom for His  flock was clearly enunciated and  beautifully wrought out.  The following took part in the  cantata and other selections later in  the evening, the first five being soloists: Mrs. E. C. Henniger, Mrs.  W. J. Dawes, Mrs. C. W. Chittenden, W. J. Harris, W. H.

Ruthless  Use  of Russian  Prisoners  Captain \\". K. Coulter, a returned  .soldier, interviewed at St. ;fohn, N.B.,  says tne British are too humane in  their method of warfare. "Shortly be-  ioro I left the trenches we captured  two, prisoners. Our sentry saw them  moving about out in front of our  trenches, and several men went into  the darkness, and, circling . around,  came up behind and captured them.  They turned out to be Russians that  had been captured by the Germans at  Warsaw. They told us that the Germans had brought hundreds of Russian prisoner.': over from the eastern  io the western front. They use these  Russians for building railways,  trenches and all sorts of fatigue work  ���������anything they don't, wish their own  men to do. because it may cause a  great loss of life thoy send the Russian prisoners to execute, and do not  care how many are killed. These  Russians were very happy to get once  more among friends, and imparted  much valuable information.  '"France and Belgium today are  one mass of spies from end -Lo end;  every movement is watched carefully  and reported at once. The German  spy system is most remarkable. A  few evenings before 1 left we captured a member of the Prussian Guard,  and he gave a splcndia 'demonstration of the typical German gall. He  was called before the divisional general and asked certain questions. He  told the general that any member of  the allied armies caught by the Germans with bombs in his possession  .was immediate!} shot. At the time  iio was speaking he had no l^ss than  three bombs concealed on his person.  When he was caught by our men and  was being conducted through the  trenches he said to the men: 'Say,  why don't you chuck this business?  You can't win no matter how hard  you try?'  "These Germans are kept in absolute ignorance of real conditions. I  remember when 1 was at Boulogne  I went into a camp of German prisoners, and one of them asked an  Knglish officer where they would be  taken.  " We will take you to England,'  said the officer. _  "'How can you do that?' replied  the German, 'when the English Channel is blocked by our submarines?'  "It is a big deadlock on the western front at the present time. II  It will remain that way all winter and  I believe all next summer. I don't  think the allies, will never break  through any distance, for it is too  heavily fortified. Some other way will  have to be found to'get at the Germans. We can break through their  lines now; we have proven it. But  what's the use? It would cost a great  many lives, more lives than it would  he worth. T will tell you this, though,  that we need all available men and  need them at once."  Manitoba's Dairy Industry,  Remarkable     Increase   of   Dairy   Products   is   Shown   for   the   Year  1915  According to a bulletin issued'by  the department of agriculture of Manitoba the dairy industry had a very  successful season in the year 1915.  There was an increase of over 1,000,-  000 lbs. in creamery butter production over the previous year, about  200,000 lbs. increase in "dairy butter  and over 25,000 lbs. increase in the  output of cheese. The increase in the  total value of milk and milk products  was over $427,000.  The production of dairy butter for  the province during the year was -1,-  150,44-1 lbs., which brought an average price of 23c per lb. Of creamery  butter 5,839,667 .lbs. were produced  which commanded an average price of  29c per lb. The production of cheese  was 726,725 lbs., and the average  price 15c per lb. The total value of  these three products is given as $2,-  760,697.04. Ju addition to this is a,  milk production valued at $925,659.00,  and cream valued'at $158,826.88. The  average price of milk is quoted at  21c per lb., and tbe average price of  sweet cream 32c per lb. butter fat.  In connection with the dairy industry of Manitoba, it is interesting to  note that, almost the most important  fodder crop, now is corn, of which the  production in 1915, notwithstanding  an unfavorable season, amounted to  190,132 tons. The biggest cultivated  fooder crop is timothy, which produced for the same season 193,357 tons.  The next most popular crop is brome  grass with 45,815 tons.

I had chills, my head  would ache, 1 was  always tired. I could  not walk straight  because of the pain  in my back and I had  pains in my stomach. I went' to*a  doctor and he said I  mu.it go under an  operation, but I did  not go. I read in  the paper about  iLydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and told my husband about it. I  said 'I know nothing will help mo but I  ,will try this.' I found myself improving from tbe very first bottle, and in two  weeks time I was able to sit down and  eat a hearty breakfast with my husband, which I had not done for two years.

"  Livestock Shortage  Government   Lending   Assistance  Co-operating   With   Breeders  Owing to the heavy drain upon the  livestock of the warring countries of  Europe a great livestock shortage appears to be looming up in the future.  The longer the war lasts the greater  this shortage will become, and when  the war is over undoubtedly buyers  will come to Canada to replenish their  breeding herds. With this event in  view the government has decided to  make extra efforts to encourage l'arm-  .ers in increasing and improving their  breeding stock. The minister of agriculture, through the livestock branch,  has decided to grant liberal aid to  breeders who wish to secure good  breeding stock. The conditions under  which aid will be given are as follows:.  In the event of a number of farmers in any district of Canada wishing to co-operate for the purchase of  breeding stock in carload lots from  some distant section of the country,  the department will pay the travelling  expenses of their duly appointed'representative during the time required  to effect the purchase and transport  the shipment to its. destination.  Should it be desired the livestocK  commissioner will nominate a suitable  person who will be directed to accompany, this representative and assist him as far as possible in buying  and shipping the animals.  How, the    Federal    Grant    Has    Been  Spent  by the   Provinces  The report of Mr. C U. James on  the work done in the various provinces of Canada under the Agricultural Aid act and the Agricultural Instruction act' Mias  been  presented.  It covers the.four years since the  passage of the Hon. Martin Barren's  two acts for .,fhe improvement of  agricultural .conditions . by federal  financial aid. and is a voluminous  work.  The total amount of the federal  grants in those years has been ?:.',900,-  000, the expenditure during the first  year being half a million with annual increases of one hundred thousand  dollars.  In a survey of the work doiie Mr.  James devotes considerable space to  emphasizing the importance of agricultural education, and points out  that agricultural instruction in the  schools has become widespread in the  United States.  The .question .of efficient rural  schools,' he says, is one of the pressing problems of the day. ninety-five  per cent.' of the farm boys and girls  receiving their whole education in  oue-teacher schools .of very low efficiency.  The report gives details of the use  made of the grants in providing new-  buildings and equipment both in connection with and independent of the  agricultural colleges and reviews the  field covered by "women's work,"  Under the latter, head there has been  spent ?3P,392, of which Ontario spent  ?11,938.  The importance of the work of agricultural district representatives is  also emphasized, the expenditures in  Ontario under this head amounting to  $202,097, and in Quebec to $13,407.  Out of a total of $48,076 spent on  short courses, which the report describes in detail, Ontario spent $25,-  974. -  Over half a million has been spent  in the nine provinces on demontsra-  tion work, $44,900 in Ontario; $228,-  360 in Quebec; $50,538 in Manitoba;  $59,555 in Saskatchewan; $32,160 in  Alberta; $63,143 in British Columbia;  $22,168 in Nova Scotia; $41,248 in  New Brunswick. This demonstration system is described as the  dominant note in 'instruction work  in the United States.  The Finish of Germany  Canada's Military Efficiency  There was no sign in Premier Borden's New York speech that Canada  is growing weary of supporting Eng  land in the war. Very slight appreciation exists in the United States of the  extent to which the Dominion is being  developed as a military power. Were  all of its forces at home, Canada  would have 175,000 men under arms;  and such an army trained and equipped would put the United States into  the shade. Canada is also developing  very rapidly a great munitions industry, under the direct stimulus of the  British war orders. It has recently  been intimated" that within a few  months tbe British government could  afford to ignore the possibility of an  American embargo on munitions because of the Dcmnion's much increased capacity of production. The  war will end, apparently, with our  good neighbor thoroughly and efficiently organized on a war footing,  for the first time since our civil war  in any way comparable with the United States in military power, immediately effective.    It is  highly gratify  Australian Capital to be Named Anzac  The   New  Australian     Capital, will  immortalize a great deed.

"There surely was never so -happy  a concourse of letters as these initials'of the official title of the men  who did the impossible on the cliffs  of Gallipoli, for they make a word  with a Homeric ring that speaks of  pride and strength in its swinging  syllables, a word that is great and  brave even if we did not know its  content, a fitting word to mark the  capital city of a young and ..lusty  nation. -  AN  ONTARIO  WITNESS.

We have had shipped, since the  middle of November, over 2,000 head  of beef cattle.-We might also add that  these cattle brought the top price on  the open market.

This is the-information learned  from a prominent Calgary banker.  "Perhaps the banks have not until  recently loaned great sums of money  on grain on the.farm, as permitted by  section 88 of the Bank act, but lately  there has been a great increase in the  amounts to be loaned," said the bank  manager. "The reason for the-much  larger amounts' so loaned now ��������� 'as  compared to formerly is- that until  this season few farmers had grain on  the farm on which to borrow money.  Also, the farmers this year had little  call to borrow money on their grain  until the transportation facilities got  so that.the grain could not be moved  to market and sold. 'But lately there  is such a congestion of grain at terminals, and so few cars and so little  motive power, that the farmers can  not sell and must borrow money. And  the first ones they come to are the  banks; and the banc's loan them money when the banks can do so safely;'-  when the farmer has a character aud  standing that will warrant it; he need  not have grain if the manager has  found him to be a: man' of his word  and oE excellent' character."

Any impression that Ireland is shrinking her  duty will be a deadly injury- to her  future interests.  "There has been slackness in recruiting in the agricultural districts,  but winning the war is of the greatest  importance to Irish- agriculturists, for  if the allies are defeated there is danger of every Irish tenant being robbed of his land by the Prussians. The  position of the tenant farmer who ex-  pectsthe people of the towns to fight  for him is contemptible.

"I sincerely trust that I am riot  unduly trespassing on Ihe linn' of tho  court?" said the .barrister with just  the slightest tinge of sarcasm in his  voice.  "There is some difference," replied  tho judge, "between trespassing on  time and encroaching on eternity."  Miss Evelena M. Risser, Dublin  Shore, Lunenburg-, N.S., writes :���������"I  suffered from severe -3������eadaches for  two years. In fact, I had headaches  day and night. My appetite was very  poor and I frequently had pains in the  hack. After using a few boxes of Dr.'  Chase's Nervo Food the headaches  disappeared, appetite improved and I  gained in health and strength. I am  very thankful for the benefit obtained  from the use of Dr. Chase's Nervo  Food, for I am well again after two  years of misery."  TI  ["lie object of pain seems to be to give warning that something is wrong in tbe  human system. For this reason, when you have a headache, Tor instance, you should  honestly seek for the caaise.  Headache is not a. disease'in itself, but rather a symptom. If you find other indications that the nervous system is exhausted���������if you are restless, nervous, sleepless  and irritable���������you may rightly suppose that to be the cause of the headache.  The headache warns you that with neglect of the nervous system you later expect  nervous prostratiou. locomotor ataxia, or some form of paralysis. "Wisdom suggests the  use of such treatment as Dr. Chase's Nerve Food, to build up the system., and thereby  remove the cause of the headache, as well as prevent more serious troubles'.  The use of headache powders is not only a dangerous practice, but the shock to the  system of drugs which arc so powerful and poisonous as lo immediately stop pain is. mo.st  harmful. The relief is merely temporary, and with this danger signal removed lh������;  disease which caused the headache continues to develop until, results are serious. Tii������!  moral is. when you have headaches or pain of any kind look for the cause and remove it.  Dr. Chase's Nerve Food is not intended as a more relief for heada-ehf. it curds by  supplying the ingredients from which nature rebuilds and revitalizes the wasted nerve  cells. Some patience is required, for this reconstructive process, but the results arc  wonderfully satisfying, because they nre both thorough and la,sting.  If you would be freed from headaches, as was the writer of the letter quoted above,  put Dr. Chase's Nerve Food to the test. Working, as it docs, hand iu hand with Nature,  it can no more fail than can other of Nature's laws.  B*. Chase's Recipe. Book, 1,000 selected recipes, sent frco if yon mention this paper.

Why should  there be any consideration of persons, great or  small? There is no consideration. There is  only one consideration, and that is the success  of the war in which .we are engaged. The nation is giving ungrudgingly everything we ask  her to give. Men, women, and children all  have given generously out of'their means,  whether they be abundant or not. Our soldiers  have given generously and cheerfully life, limb,  and health, and if in the midst of that universal sacrifice there be one or there be several  who in the discharge of the duties entrusted  to them have not done all that they should  have done, or have done what they should not  have done, have given a thought to themselves  and not to the cause, have laid unholy hands  upon the unholy profits of war, sir, these are  criminals. They are guilty of crimes, and to  shield them or not to have a thorough investigation would be adding our crime to  theirs."  The tale of the two Indian reserves is one of the most  painful chapters in the history of this province.

The  Modern   Method' is  Most  Successful   in   Treating  Indigestion  The old-fashioned methods of treating indigestion and stomach troubles  are being discarded. The trouble  with the old-fashioned methods was  that when the treatment was stopped  the trouble returned in an aggravated form. The modern method of curing indigestion and other stomach  troubles-is to tone up the stomach" to  do nature's work. Every step toward,  recovery is a step gained, not to be  lost again. The recovery of the appetite, the disappearance of pain, the  absence' of gas,���������are all steps on the  road to health that those who-have  tried the tonic treatment remember  distinctly. Dr. "Williams' Pink Pills  are a blood-builder, tonic medicine,  every constituent of which is helpful  in building up the digestive organs,  and is therefore the very best remedy  for chronic cases of stomach trouble.  Thousands of cases like the following  prove how successful this treatment  is: Miss Amy Browning, Cornith,  Out., says: "I have found such great  benefit from Dr. "Williams*.-Pink.Pills  that I would be ungrateful if I did not  publicly say a good word in their  favor. I was badly run down and my  stomach was in a very had condition.  All food distressed me, and left me  disinclined to eat. I suffered from  nausea and dizziness and frequent  sick headaches, and this was further  aggravated by pains in the back and  sides'. I was in this condition for  several years, and although I had  got medicine from several doctors it  did not help me. Then I heard of Dr.  Williams' Pink Pills and began taking  them. I am glad to say that" they soon  helped me, and now 1 am as well as  ever: can eat all kinds of food, with  relish, and have not an ache or pain,"  You can get these Pills through any  dealer in medicine or "by mail, post  paid, at 50 cents a box or six boxes  for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Med\  icine Co., Urockville, Ont.   "���������  German Orders in French  It was not sufficient for unhappy  Belgium that a horde of barbarians  poured over her fair land and systematically murdered her civilian population, looted their homes, applied the  incendiaries' torch, and committed  every kind of outrage too horrible to  bear reproducing in print���������as not  established by documentary evidence  ���������all this was not enough; the kultur-  ed Huns must needs murder Belgium's mother tongue. A notice set  up by the Germans in a Belgian village is intended to convey to the inhabitants the order that "at twilight  every one must retire within doors;  and that the inhabitants must show  respect to the German troops passing  through and to German soldiers individually."  What the notice actually says, however, is this, "At twilight each, one is  bound to withdraw within himself  (that is; to recognize the error of his  ways). Tlie inhabitants are to respect  the passing troops and the singular  German soldiers."

Kaiser and Archduke  $[ade Secret Compact  "Pact of Konopisht" a Dismal' Failure  Because Britain .Was Misjudged  A curious article by Henry Wick-  ham Steed, foreign editor of the .London Times, appears in the February  number of "the- Nineteenth Century  and After." It is entitled "The Pact  of Konopisht," and deals with events  alleged to have transpired immediately preceding the war.  * A fortnight before tho assassina-  lipn of the Archduke Francis Ferdinand and his'wife, says the writer, they  were visited at the castle Konopisht,  in Bohemia, by the German Kaiser,  and Admiral von Tirpitz. Ostensibly  the Emperor went to Konopisht. to  see the rose gardens. The story Steed  tells is that at Konopisht the Kaiser  and the Archduke made a secret compact.  The paramount desire of the Archduke and his wife was to make provision for their sons, who were debarred by the'Hapsburg family law  from attaining imperial rank. Tbe  Kaiser, it is said, unfolded his great  scheme of tho war.  Russia was (o be provoked to conflict with Germany and Austria;  franco was to be instantly smitten  to tho dust, while the abstention of  Britain was considered certain. ' The  Kaiser proposed to reconstitute the  old Kingdom of Poland, which, ���������with  Lithuania and the Russian Province  of Ukraine, stretching from the Baltic to the Black Sea, was to be tbe  inheritance of Francis and his eldest  son.  For the second son a kingdom  was to'be carved-out, including Bohemia, Hungary, .Serbia, the Slav  coast of .the eastern Adriatic,' and  Saloniki.  German Austria, with Trieste, was  to "pass to the present heir, the Archduke Charles Joseph, to be incorporated in the German empire.  A pact would be created and a  huge military aud economic alliance  made, with the Kaiser supreme in  Europe, and perhaps throughout the  world.  Mr. Steed in an analysis of the extraordinary circumstances surrounding the assassination of 'he Archduke  and his consort seems to imply that it  was connected with resentment  against the Hapsburg family.  The writer suggests that the Kaiser  persisted in forcing the war after  the removal of his principal .accomplice because the murders furnished  him with afresh and useful pretext.

About four years ago  1 left off col'ica and began using Postum. My stomach and bowels improved right along, but 1 was so reduced in liesh and so nervous that the  least thing would overcome me.  "Then 1 changed my food and began  using Grape-Nuts in addition to Pos-  tuin. I lived on these two principally  for about four months. Day by clay f  gained in flesh and strength until the  nervous trouble had disappeared. I  feel that I owe my health to Postum  and Grape-Nuts.  "Husband was troubled, for a long  time with occasional cramps and slept  badly. Finally 1 prevailed upon him  to leave off coffee and take Postuin.  After he tried Posluni for a few days  he found that he could sleep and that  his cramps disappeared. lie never  went back to coffee." Nave given by  Canadian Postum  Co., "Windsor,  Ont.

"Somewhere/in, the British Islands/'  or 'its surrounding seas there is a  place which in the largest scale map  of the arena of war would not occupy  more than a minute fraction of 'a  pin's head. A few 'thousand, men���������  less in total numbers than the casualties of a normal land attack���������  there rest quietly on strange machines wrought of steel and iron, all of  which could be packed into a few  square miles. But. these men and  machines are- the Grand Fleet of the  British, empire. And the contents of  this fraction of a pin's head "will decide tbe war, with the, end coming  perhaps today, perhaps tomorrow;  but with the end assured.-  -If our enemies could only obtain, as  a gift of the gods they worship, some  earthquake  or volcanic    or frightful  natural  upheaval,     how     inevitable  would be their choice.

Tho  German    flag    flies    nowhere in  the seven  seas..   The German merchantman    and great liners  have been banished from them like a  dream when one awaketh.   The whole  . gigantic   oversea   trade   which     Germany has built up with so much care  and pride���������trade which is vital to the  welfare of her people, destruction of  which means gigantic misery and ruin  ���������has fallen like a great house to the  ground.     The  few  German* warships  which  existed outside Germany when  war began  have been  hunted  down,  and lie, for the most part, deeper than  ever plummet's sounding in the abysses of alien oceans.    The great German  ports, once the scenes of busy  life,  repose  like cities    of the dead.  The   great   German     mercantile   sea  lords   proclaim their  bankruptcy.    A  few merchants and commis voyageurs  stranded   at   Monte   Video   or  Yokohama,  wait vainly for the ship  that  will never'come, and the order that  will never   be executed.    The British  navy is the one instrument, on either  side of conflict, which has performed  'its  work-with complete^ and  unchallengeable success.   It hEts broken, as  by a sudden hammer-blow, the whole  of Germany- that lived upon and trafficked in deep waters.   It has render-,  ed the  German high sea fleet as innocuous  in its hiding place as  if it  had    never  existed���������as  if  the  three  hundred million pounds  spent in its  construction   had  been  thrown  carelessly into the German Ocean.    And  slowly but surely, without ostentation  or boasting, like the slaying of a man  in the  darkness by an unseen hand,  it has  laid its grip on the throat of  Germany, never henceforth to be relaxed until the end comes.    The victim may struggle, lash'out with hands  and feet, writhe in agony, and in' its  struggles   . damage    all    surroundhig  things;  but despite the struggles the  grip will remain secure, the pressure  continued and intensified.    And it is  all dependent on some tiny aggregate  of ships and"men "somewhere in the  British  Isles."  ���������The long controversy between Admiral Mahan and his critica, passing  from theory to practice, seems likely  to end in a vindication of his contentions more complete than even he had  dared to anticipate. The boldness of  Mr. Balfour's acute and critical mind  .in acceptation of the theories of the  "Blue-water School" against the protests of Lord Roberts and any les^  distinguished followers, has been  more than justified. .The only anxiety  and the only loss have come from the  introduction of a weapon, in a sense  detached from and independent of .sea  power���������the submarine, whose existence and action at one time caused  dismay among the fainthearted. That  dismay is now nearly over. The ingenuity of th3 navy* and its normal  efficiency and courage has rendered  this invention in the hands of our  enemies comparatively innocuous. It  never could even attempt to raise the  sea'blockade of Germany. It had no  success in home waters, either in attack on capital ships or interference  with the transport of men and munitions of war. Today, while the best  of tho German submarines and their  most adventurous crew.3 lie rotting on  the floors of the ocean, this new weapon has itself been turned by the Royal  e lithe  Navy against, our enemies. And in  closed inland seas where, before  war, no man eve.- dreamed that such  queer craft could penetrate���������the Bal-'  tic and Marmora���������British submarines  are performing deeds' which are the  wonder of the world.  Nothing isvmore inslmotive than to  watch the gradual chauge'in the verdict of the German'experts in the German papers during the fifteen months  of.naval war.   At first they were exultant in the affirmation ; that Britain  had been struck a blow in the vulnerable place of her armour.    They rejoiced over the "Emden" making terror  of the  Indian   Ocean,    over  the  German Pacific 'fleet destroying British   ships   under  the   shadow   of  the  Andes at the close of a stormy winter  day; in the various destructions committed-by   armed     merchantmen   or  light, cruisers   in   the   various'  trade  routes of the world.'' As one by one  these'-.'disappeared, and, finally,  by a  daring' combination  of   strategy  and  effective   seamanship,     the     German  Pacific'fleet was battered to pieces off  the Falkland Islands- they closed that  chapter with a sigh of regret. In the  second  chapter,  they  fought, desperately.-to encourage the spirit of their  peoples by talking, of little but of their  "gallant  submarines." " It  is. not  too  much to say that the loss of the "Lusi-  tania"   caused  universal,applause   in  every German city'and hamlet.  And  this, not from any special delight in  the slaughter of women and children,  but because they had promised to do a  thing, and had" done it successfully;  .because they saw in vision, one after  another,  each    British " Dreadnought  succumbing to the same attack. Lastly,  came  the  period  when  even  the  pretence   of   this   success   could   no  longer, be maintained.    The  terrified  islanders could no longer be depicted  as cowering in fear before the might  of instruments  of the  air or of the  deep.    The  blockade  closed  in,  and  as it tightened, there began to be exhausted   the   accumulated   stocks   of  oversea produce which at first made  that blockade only felt (as it were) as  a slight tickling at -he throat which a  strong man could disregard. The sanest of the German naval experts, such  as  Captain   Persius,  now  openly  declare that the decision on the sea is  settled, and in favor of England. They  acknowledge.     that   the   allied   fleets  were not only at the beginning vastly  stronger, than those or Germany, but  every  day increases  that  disposition  of strength.    The immense effort of  Clyde and Wear and Tyne is creating  a new navy, and. doubling the strength  of our  sea-power.    So  much  is  this  true that they have even begun to instruct their readers in the theory thai  sea-power  does  not  much    matter���������  these readers having spent three hundred millions on the theory that "the  future   of  Germany  lies   on, the   water."    They announce  that  they will  counter the sea blockade with an im-  menso land adventure, and fling their  forces to the Persian Gulf or the borders of Arabia, or along North Africa  to  Morocco  and  the  Pillars  of Hercules.    But  wherever  they  go,   they  will  find  the  sea  dominant  and  the  "terrified  islanders" countering their  efforts, barring their only practicable  way to Syria or'f rem" Syria to Egypt,  transporting     armed  forces   wTiither  they will, from Archangel to the Persian Gulf.  All the while the oversea products  on which depend the German vital  forces steadily decline. Rubber-is unobtainable. Copper and similar metals have to be dismally accumulated  by scrapping private houses or melting down church bells. Their cotton  industry and wool industry for civil  supply have almost ceased," and even  for military equipment are proving  steadily insufficient; .while the price  of the vital articles of food has risen  to such a height as to cause rioting,  recrimination between class and  class, and a spirit something approaching revolution at home. If already this internal cancer is developing, how much it is likely to develop  during the winter cold and the coming of spring! Sooner or later the  Central Powers will be in the position  of the South in America. The increasing chaos and confusion, demonstrations of hunger, degeneration  amongst the spirit of the people, and  strangulation which, as it increases,  will plunge Germany headlong into  such ruin as no civilized nation has  ever yet suffered, are due in (he main  to the efficiency, determination, and  untiring vigilance of those who, guarding the gates of all the ocean, todav  can still signal "All's Well!"���������The  Right Hon. C. F. G. Masterman, in the  London Ration.  Russia Not in U.S. Market  "The imperial munitions board is  officially informed that there is no  truth in the .statements which have  appeared recently to the effect that  the Russian government is negotiating the placing of orders for ten  million shrapnel and high explosive  shells in the United States," says a  statement issued by the board recently.  The board has recently placed an  oruer for 50,000 boxes for 4.5 brass  cartridge cases. Tenders were called  for and the tenders received ranged  from $1.22% per box to $4 per box.  The order was placed at the lowest  price quoted,  To Secure World Peace  Dr. C. W. Eliot Urges U.S. to Make  Alliance With France and  Britain  ,Dr. Charles W. Eliot, presiaenr. emeritus of Harvard, universitj', has  contributed a thoughtful article to  the New York Times. It "is captioned: "Should America Join a  League of 'Faith-Keeping Nations?' "  First of all Dr. Eliot emphasizes the  point that-i large'proportion of the  Americans in favor of military preparation have hazy ideas as to what  military preparation entails, and also  as to the purpose to be served, by  such preparation. , And on the other  hand, avers Dr. IjJliot, the opponents  of preparedness are equally diverse  in their arguments.  "But what they are all agreed upon,  he thinks, is that the United States  can run no risk of the fate vwhich  has overtaken Belgium, Poland,  Northern France, Serbia and other  portions of Europe. "And, the most  Satisfactory 'insurance���������indeed the  only accessible insurance���������is." says  the ex-president; "increase of the defensive features in naval warfare���������  such as mines, submarines, monitors,  aeroplanes,- and ��������� swift cruisers���������and  ample provision of shore batteries of  long range guns; Most Americans,  would undoubtedly be willing to pay  for this insurance, : even if the- risk  of successful invasion be admitted  to be very small."  Doubt is cast by Dr. Eliot upon the  point whether the American public  has made up its mind to "organize  and support an army in the modern  sense." But he is quits- clear that  if- it ever does make up its mind to  do so the present army- system and  stale militia will have to be abandoned. In . their place a democratic  army modeled -more or less after the  Swiss army, will, in his opinion, b3  necessary. This, says Dr. Eliot, would  be "novel" to the average American  and his reason for, thinking so appears from the following passage:  "The new legislation would have  to- cover such unfamiliar and distasteful subjects , as accurate registration, watchfully "maintained, of  the training, occupation and place  of residence of every able bodied  man -between 20 and 40;* mobilization, the proclamation. of martial  law, the seizure of many kinds-of  private property for military uses,  and taxation raised, much above- the  peace limits. Unless the crisis be  acute, this is not .a; job to be undertaken by congress in a hurry' or  under the stimulus q������ either wrath  or fear. It is very doubtful, indeed,  if congress would ever adopt such  legislation except under the influence of serious disasters in actual  war. The Civil War brought no such  legislation. Great Britain even now  does not adopt it."  The^ second portion of his article  Dr. Eliot "devotes to a consideration of  the allied questions of the freedom of  the seas- and the commercial rights  of neutrals in war time. In regard to  the freedom of the seas Dr. Eliot is  not satisfied that the task can be .permanently accomplished by the British navy alone, even making full allowance for/vhat it has accomplished  in the present war "with.a little aid  from France, Italy and Japan." His  own solution is the following:  "One satisfactory solution of that  problem can now be clearly discerned���������and only one which would be  both feasible and effective. A firm  and durable combination of Great  Britain, France, Italy, Russia, and  Japan���������present belligerents���������and ..by-  invitation.'the United States or Pan-  America and Scandinavia, could assure the freedom of the seas for all  the world in time of peace, and for  themselves and their allies in time of  war, by means of their navies with  the support of such garrisons as  these nations are already accustomed  to provide.    ...  "The experiences of the civilized  world since the first conference at  The Hague have demonstrated that  peace cannot be procured or maintained for Europe or the world  through international agreements,  however comprehensive and rational;  because some strong nations in Europe claim the right to disregard any  agreement on grounds of a military  necessity, they lo be sole judges of  the necessity. The peace-desiring nations are, therefore, thrown back on  the study of a less ambitious and  more hopeful project���������the creation of  a small league of faith-keeping nations, pledged to resist attack'from  without on any of its members. Had  such a league existed in July, 1914,  the present war would not have  taken place, even if it had contained  only three powers���������Great Britain,  France and Russia. Seventeen months  of furious fighting and heartrending  suffering have made the ereation-and  maintenance of a large league more  than   possible���������even   probable."  As a kind of secondary proposal  Dr. Mliot suggests that "for the purpose of defending the I'nited States  from foreign invasions" a smaller  league might suffice. Britain. France  and tho United States would, in his  opinion, form such a league. Each  .would be pledged to resist attack on  either of the others. In support of  this proposal the doctor advances the  following:  "For the formation of that combination many strong motives conspire.  These arc the three nations which  have stood longest, and now stand  firmest, for the ideals of political and  social freedom and justice, and of  consideration for the weak or unfortunate in the conduct of public-  affairs. War between any of these  three nations is hereafter absolutely  unthinkable; and any compact made  by all three would remain firm and  inviolable, no matter what (he execution of the compact might cost.  Here again is a definite object for  naval preparation by the United  Stales, but an object which might involve us in heavy responsibillies."  WORLD IS LEARNING ABO'UTOUR WHEAT FIELDS  Lord  Northc'ifT Praises the Energy  and Resourcefulness of the  Dominion, and says That Canadians are a People of  Immense Courage and Vitality  A special London " correspondent  says. "T went to see Lord Northcliffe  today, in his customary :.seat in his  small but comfortable sanctum in the  Times office.  "1 wanted to talk to him about Canada, for ho has seen a good deal more  Canadian territory than most Canadians.  "I won't talk about- compulsion,"  said his lordship. ' "That is finished.  We -can now raise all the men we  want for the war by a business like  system that prevents injustice, and  provides exactly as - many men as  may ��������� be required on any given date.  The struggle was long and fierce;  and it was much misunderstood in  Canada,, where you are deluged with  some pro-German views by cable  and   otherwise "from  London.  "Let us talk about Canada before, during and after the war. Wh_en  visualized by the world up to August,  1914, Canada was a great grain producing country, and anywhere where  emigrants could be found there were  pictures of vast prairie wheat fields.  For the rest it was known as one of  several 'Lands of Promise,' with fine  railways and unlimited acres for ambitious .settlers.  "It was a picture that was beginning lo pall somewhat, we had seen  it and. heard of it so often. As a  piece of material it was immensely  attractive, but material is not so  much in fashion in the world in January 1916, as it was in Januarv,  1913.  "Far seeing people who look to  the future see that the world will not  be in the hands of the* pacificists.  They know that the proved nations  of Canada, Australia. New Zealand,  South Africa, Great iJritain, France,  Belgium and Italy will occupy a  position which will be greatly, reinforced by a manhood that has been  through the great test of a vast upheaval that has shaken the universe.  "I am not fond. ot. war," continued  Lord Northcliffe. "I should have  greatly preferred to see  kept out of. the  war  if it  and thirty years since the whistle  of the������������������ transcontinental locomotive  was first heard on the Pacific.  "It is only a few months since  'Ypres' was on the world's tongue.  Today it looms in the world's history, and as the years go by it will  grow bigger,and: bigger. 1 have met  a few Canadians who are not particularly enthusiastic over the war. I  never met one who confesses he  would have stood by and kept aloof  from this war, a war not of revenge  but of justice.    - -���������  "Canadian charity too has shone  out like a great star in a dark firmament. The results have amazed  people in;.. Britain. But Canada's financial stability, her willingness to  help finance the war, are two new-  lights on the Dominion. For/more  than- a quarter of a century I have  been an enthusiastic visitor to':.: and  an admirer of Canada, but I confess 'her  efforts   have   surprised  me.  "Sometimes in many parts of Canada I have met gloomy men who  thought the empire was tumbling to  pieces, that their future relations  were all 'North and South,' not 'East  and  West.'    How; wrong they were.  relations   are   ob-  'East and West'  The future trade  viously still more  than ever.  "Canada stands before the world  today as a complete nation, a nation  which has sent a larger army a  greater distance than any in the  world's history. Our effort in South  Africa sixteen years ago was a  wonderful piece of transport and  difficult fighting, but if Canada  sends her 500,000 men across, en-,  listed out of a population of .eight  millions, it will be a record unequalled."

"According to German calculations, Canada and the other Dominions . were to have risen in revolt  against England when we ��������� were  drawn into the vortex of a European  war.

From Dominion prohibition they would look for better yet.  For, of course, it must be borne in  mind that under provincial prohibition, breweries and distilleries in  in Hamilton could continue to manufacture, and find sale for their wares  or the United States, and  Hamilton   desiring   liquor -  dearly indeed."  Turning to the already historic  battles in Avhich the Canadian forces  have' fought and distinguished themselves,  Lord  Northcliffe  said:  "Vpres, Festubert, and Givenchy  are battlefields which will live in tlie  future as greater than Waterloo,  throughout France, Great Britain  and Belgium and far away into Russia. Canada now stands not merely  as a nation of great commercial capacity, but as .n people of immense  courage and vitality.  "Upon the top of this reputation  comes the news that the Dominion,  with a population of some eight  millions, is about to increase its contribution to the war to a magnificent  total of 500,000 men. That news is  having its effect all over the world  already. Prestige counts for everything. Canada has already gained  her prestige in the great world  struggle.  "I notice as a result that the Russian newspapers, which were hitherto merely interested in Canada as  being a place at the top of the  United States, are now discussing  the ��������� future relations of Russia and  Canada  could get it by private order from  I Buffalo. The province has nothing to  fdo with manufacture or importation;  it can only regulate or prohibit the  sale. But a house can only be built  from tbe ground up.. Stone by s-tone,  local option has been laying the foundation. Provincial pi-ohibition. would  furnish the superstructure. Dominion  prohibition would add the roof, protecting and rendering complete tho  whole edifice.
