C. at *S2 per yei.r, Walker Press. by the THURSDAY, DECEMBER 27, 1917 GENEROUS HEARTED Again lhc people of Enderby-Grindrod-Mara dislrict have proved lhcir generous hearlcdncss. When lhe appeal was made a week ago on behalf oi' lhe Halifax relief fund,' il was not expected that lhe contributions from this district would overrun $300, in view of the many appeals which have been freely responded'.to in the pasl lew months. But up to Saturday night, the advertised lime ol* closing, the amount was very near hall* a thousand. The canvassing commillcc having lhe subscription papers in hand arc lo be congratulated again on the ready response given by themselves, and the people as a whole on lhcir greal spirit ol* generosity in time of need. Those good people of Grindrod arc lo be especially congratulated on thc way they contributed lo lhis worthy cause. Perhaps in- the grand total oi* millions which has poured into Halifax from all parts of America, the half thousand from lhis district will nol loom up so brightly, but, just the same, these few hundreds mean more sacrilice to the givers lhan as many thousands would mean in many olher localities thc most moderate 3ret expressed. Germany's reported terms agree to leave the disposition of Alsace-Lorraine to a plebiscite of the inhabitants; Britain to pay Germany for her lost African colonies, the money to be used for the rehabilitation of Belgium, Serbia, Roumania and Northern France; thc Russian provinces bordering the Baltic Sea, the Black Sea and Prussia to become independent under a German plan; Poland to' bc called an independent state under Austrian suzerainty; disarmament, freedom of lhc seas and commerce to be left to the peace conference; Roumania, Serbia and Montenegro lo retain their original boundaries with the right of access to lhe sea being granted to Serbia; Turkey to remain intact. Great Britain's war aims, as expressed by Mr. Lloyd-George in the House of Commons, are much-modified. The "war after the war" policy enunciated some months ago has been dropped entirely and now Great Britain is in* full accord with President-Wilson's outline_of \yaf aims; she seeks no territorial extension except that which an "international conference agrees is necessary to future security; while the German colonies are regarded as non-returnable, because the peace conference must consider the future security of the British Union of South Africa, yet Britain actually is not desirous of further territory there;.Britain is also not now in sympathy with the imperialistic demands attributed to minorities in other Allied countries; she'agrees that, certain territorial readjustments are necessary���������������������������but only for the purpose of guaranteeing fuluiv security; regarding Alsace-Lorraine, Britain holds that if the Germanized population of Lorraine desires to remain German, that section should be allowed to be apart of the German empire; in the Balkans adjustment of territorial boundaries is held by Great Britain to be a problem for decision at the international peace body. Great Britain supports Italy's .'demand for the return of Italia-Irridenta, including Trieste and the Trcntino. but not her claims for Dalmatia and olher territory of this character; Poland, in the Brilish point of view, should bc permitted to work oul her own destinies, and llie same right must be accorded Courland and Lithuania; regarding Belgium, full reparation after relinquishment is lhc policy insisted upon; and there is lhe general approval of the plan for a protectorate of Christian powers over the Holy Land henceforth.

' '"' LOYALTY PEACE "CONVERSATIONS" For eign P Secretary BTdTourim a dc a very-mr" porlaiil slalemenl in llie House of. Commons a lew days ago when, in answer to a Liberal member's question as lo Great Britain's war aims, hc said it was his belief that "friendly conversations" were better than a formal conference for the discussion of lhe delicate mailers relating to war aims and peace. Following lhis statement, a day or two later, Vmier Lloyd Geoi'ge restated Great Britain's war aims. At Ihe same lime, statements come from seemingly ollicial sources as to Germany's new peace oilers. These statements and counter statements have been going on some months. They are what Foreign Secretary Balfour terms "friendly conversations." They are preliminary lo lhe formal pence conference which is on lhe way. Fach side is jokeying for position; each endeavoring lo hold lhe upper hand in lhe eyes of his own people, yet anxious to reach an understanding with the olher. Diplomatically and cainoull: ligerenl forts lo make lhe "bitter end" come quickly. We of lhe Allied countries are told with religious and military regularity lhat Germany is on the verge of a collapse. And lhc people of Germany are lold the same thing aboul England. In lhis way the war parly in each counlry is endeavor- keep up lhe courage of the people and lo f spirit. At the same lime vising from week lo week each side. Gradually the I lie leaders of each side of the bcl- governmenls are making slrenuous ef- ige A Happy New Year to all!' These words are ���������������������������nol lightly expressed; wc'men them in the truer sense. To bc "happy we must bc loyal: loyal to the home, lhe community; '.the; empire. . But it must be the right kind of loyalty. "You see," once wrote Mark Twain in "A Yankee in King Arthur's Court," "you see, my kind of loyalty was lhc loyalty to one's country, not to ils institutions and office-holders. The country is the real thing, the substantial thing, the eternal thing; it is the thing to watch over and care for, and be loyal to; institutions are extraneous, they arc ils mere clothing, and clothing can wear out, Tiecomc" ragged; cease TttrylrrT^OTnTortabler^cease1 to protect the body from winter, disease and death. To be loyal to rags, to shout for rags, to worship rags, lo die.forrags���������������������������that is a loyalty of unreason, it is pure animal; it belongs to monarchy, was invented by monarchy; let.monarchy keep it. I was fronl Connecticut, whose constitution declars 'that all political power is inherent in the people, and all free"governments are founded on lhcir authority and instituted for their benefit, and that they have at. all times an. undeniable and indefeasible right to alhfr their form of governmcnl in such a manner as they may think expedient.' Under that gospel, the citizen who thinks hc sees thai lhe commonwealth's political clothes are worn out, and yet holds his peace and does not agilale for a new suit, is disloyal; he is a traitor. That he may bc Ihe only one who thinks he sees this decay, docs nol excuse him. It is his duly to agitate anyway, and il. is the duty of thc others to vole him down if they do not sec lhe mailer as he does." Our home-cured hams and bacon are always in demand. Most delicious in flavor, and not an ounce of waste. GEO. R. SHARPE WHOLESALE - RETAIL BUTCHER SECRET SOCIETIES j; C. METCALFE W. M. A.F.&A.M. Enderby.

Patriotism and good business combine to make the effort commendable. The need for animal products by,"the Allied armies and civil populations is increasingly great: the need for ba- ��������������������������� con and pork products most of all because they contain the largest quantity, weight for weight, of the animal fats needed for the soldiers. -Bacon ��������������������������� contains 2,930 . calories as compared- with" ];100 for the same weight of beef, and of only 670 in lean beef. Shrikage in a dressed product is only 25 per . cent of the live weight of hog meat, while in beef, veal, mutton and lamb it.is 50 per cent. Canada's hog products in 191 totalled 125,000,000 pounds. The Allies' requirements in the same year were 1,260,000,000 pounds. In other words, "the Allied markets alone could have taken ten "times the total Canadian supply.- Yet it is not only during war time ?thatj:he market is great. Th'e,ex- "portfrom Canada;in a five-year period, which naturally covers at least two years of peace," averaged only six per cent of the British imports of hog products.

''- - Canada's Victory Loan The latest returns in the Victory Loan campaign show a total "of 782,714 subscribers, or one subscriber for every ten people in Canada. This establishes a new record with respect to the proportion of the population of a country subscribing to its war loans. The previous record was held' by GreatBritain, where, one jperson in every twenty-three subscribed to the last war loan. In the Liberty Loan campaign in the United States, bonds were sold to one person out of every twenty-seven of the population. V: In many cities, towns and districts in Canada, the proportion of the population buying Victory Bonds was - even -higher than one in ten. In a number;.of cases it was high as one in four. - The achievement in connection with Canada's Victory Loan, while primarily due to the splendid spirit of patriotism that pervades the country, is another evidence of what may be accomplished through press advertising backed by an adequate selling organization. Prior to the Victory Loan campaign there were comparatively few bond buyers in Canada. The third Canadian"War Loan of last spring,, which was the most widely distributed'bond issue in Canada up to that time, had only 41,- 000 subscribers. They, Finance Minister deemed it essential that many times that number should* subscribe to the Victory Loan. He assigned to the press the task of educating with respect to the Loan the great masses of the people who were not bond buyers, and in most cases had only a very faint idea of the meaning of the term "bond" as applied to securities. For several weeks before the sale of Victory Bonds commenced Canada's need for money to carry on the war and to.maintain her agricultural and industrial prosperity was presented to s the people of Canada in display adver- t'sments in the press. Emphasis was placed in these advertis- ments^on the privilege and "duty of every Canadian to assist in the war financing of his or her country, and upon the fact that if Canada's financial needs were to be met the great masses of the people would have to buy Victory Bonds. The meaning of a "bond" and the security behind Canada's Victory "Bonds were explained in simple every-day language. Similar educational work was done voluntarily by almost all newspapers, and other publications through their news and editorial columns. By November 12th, when the sale of Victory Bonds commenced the people had been educated very thoroughly to the need for the money/the security behind the Loan and the reason why every person who could should buy one or more Bonds. The preparatory educational work was followed up by personal solicitation' by a most efficient Dominion wide organization -of .personal workers. Concurrently with that personal ^solicitation there "appeared in the press a series of "selling" advertisments empha- sizing^ the immediate privilege and duty of every Canadian to buy Victory Bonds,, and " many editorials and news articles along the same line were published' in every newspaper. The press publicly created an atmosphere and a knowledge of the situation that in addition to securing large^ numbers of-subscribers without "personal solicitation made it possible for, the personal, .workers'to do their work quickly and effectively and .with -infinitely Jgreater- results than could have/Been obtained without the educational, inspira- tional^ahd; selling advertisments irithe Rress- V. v. ;.��������������������������� *,v j -77,.y'V "^Ariliejcbnclusion'bf" the cam-, paign Sir Thomas White, in a tele-* gram tdJ.-H. - Woods, President .Canadian Press Association; Inc., "expressed^his sincere-thanks^f or the fine spirit and 'splendid .energy shown by~the ,press_ and his opinion'that the press had' every reason-to congratulate itself upon the character and effectiveness of the* advertising propaganda. the problem will depend on the available':supply'-of.liquid capital; and now, when huge profits are being made in many directions, Vis clearly the-.time to set aside the capitaLthat will be required. ���������������������������'���������������������������-: s .'."���������������������������:. "':... . ). 7 :������������������������������������������������������>: Peace^Negotiations Petrograd���������������������������The German and Austrian Foreign Ministers, Dr. von Kiielmann and Count Czernin have notified Leon Trotsky, the Bolsheviki Foreign Minister, that they will arrive at Brest-Li toysk on Tuesday, to begin negotiations for a general European peace. The evening papers announce that Trotsky ��������������������������� has notified the Allied Embasies that the armistice had reached definite results and that peace negotiations will begin and asking to participate, or to state whether, they want peace or not. Up to this evening" the Embassies had not received the communication and an informal conference of the Allied diplomats is reported to have reached' no decision. The following article was written by Elbert Hubbard a few years before the war clouds broke over Europe. One can read the writer's thoughts, therefore, without thinking "pro-German" of him " Elbert JIubbard down "with the Lusitania, when.she was '.'torpedoed by a German submarine. Il will be interesting to watch and see in what degree lhis writer foreshadows world condilions after peace is again brought about. or that he had. any desire Jo see a "German peace." was onc of the prominent, men of the world to go After the War Problems In a book' recently published by Mr. Wriel D'Acosta, London, Eng., the writer refers to the problems in economic finance which will, prevail" when peace comes. He says the impoverish- meruVof"Europe" by war means thatthose who have something to sell will not readily find buyers, because of the general lack of purchasing power, .which spehVa.'fall in prices. There will certainly be a heavy demand for money for purposes of restoration arid the replenishment of exhausted stocksVahdr,the author thinks that "money must become yerjrV.clear in the post-bellum period, aud remain so for quite a long time:" But the demand will not be, what is called by the economists, "effective," except as regards absolutely unavoidable expenditure for the necessities of the nation; and for this reason, as: well as the temporary slump irt business,,which must be expected, many will take a different view. An American authority thinks that money rates are reasonably certain to decline considerably with the advent of peace, because,, allowing for the demand for capital for reconstruction purposes, it will not be as irresistable as is war's demand for capital. And there is much to be said for his opinion. The most difficult problem will be that of finding employment for the working classes who are no longer required by the State, either in a civil or military capacity, and that is where the Government will have to display more intelligence that it has shown in dealing with labor during the war. It is obvious, too, that the solution of Still Has Troubles Br'er Jim Grier, formerly editor of the Slocan Record,- and- later of the Hedley Gazette, is now at Lomond, Alberta, and still has his troubles, as the following paragraph from a recent issueyof the Lomond Press indicates: "Owing to a break in the press while moving this- issue is late three or four days.

The critics of Colonel In gersoll used to declare that' he had , taken away their devil and their hell and had given them nothing to replace these precious things. In like mariner the stickr lers for .war, lift a wail of woe and declare, "You -are taking away ' our martial spirit and giving us nothing in return." In all spontaneous criticism, no matter how absurd, there is a germ of truth." The bugaboo o'f the bourgeois about taking something away: and giving nothing in return- is the assumption that ^the thing can really be done.

The army, she says, teaches obedience, decency, cleanliness, system, courtesy, a civil tongue, and,, in fact, gives the youth a general nioral and spiritual keelhauling and setting-up, which is otherwise not obtainable.

Borovsky, who is conducting all the business of the Russian legation at his offices in the Swedish capital, although M. Gulkevitch remains in possession of the Russian legation building. M. Borovsky said that Russia was compelled to make peace as she was not in condition to continue the war and it was for Russia's Allies to choose whether peace should be made separate or general. "We realize that a separate peace would be bad for democracy throughout Europe, and especially so in Russia," M.Borrsky stated. "We recognize that Germany, dealing first with Russia and afterward with the Allies would be able to get better terms. "Moreover, a separate peace without a revolutionary movement in Germany would only benefit the pan-German and military classes in Germany. The Allies in opposing peace are forcing Russia into a separate peace, and also forcing her into a position of dependence on Germany . ... If the views of the British labor party were shared by the British Government Russia would not be faced by this danger. Our quarrel is with the British Government by clinging obstinately to its desire to defeat and destroy Germany, thereby postponing a democratic peace and forcing Russia into her present situation."

It was known lhat the strikers' committee had agreed lo recommend to thc men thai Jhey return to'work. Members of the Committee explained the situatrom to the men, staling that lhcy had neither the backing of the international or district organizations and recommending that thc men" return to the smelter and refineries. When the committee made this explanation a vote was taken and it was almost unanimously carried that they should resume work.

It is expected to cause a revival of the serious criticism of the British Admiralty, such as at the time of the successful German attack on a convoy of Scandinavian merchantmen in October. Added to this is the raid made on the Tyne 1 ast Wednesday by German warships. As a result of these two expeditions one British destroyer has been sunk, another seriously damaged, five trawlers and eight merchantmen have been sent to the bottom another trawler has been damaged and a number of men killed, wounded and taken prisoner.
