He still thinks the\nballoon has a distinct future in warfare and there have been a number ol\noccasions when the balloons did valuable work in scouting, but on the\nwhole he says that the weather in\nManchuria is too damp for balloons\nto be at their best.

Light\nwas seldom good and frequently the\nballoon was too high for pictures to\nbe of any use. In the attack on\nPutiloff (Lone Tree Hill), he says\nthere was presented a very interesting panorama ol the battlefield, but\nit was often impossible to tell with\ncertainty which were Russian lines\nand which were Japanese. The best\nwork of thc balloon corps was done\nduring the retreat from Liao Y'ang,\nwhen he says for scouting purposes,\nthey were really valuable, olten almost indispensable.\nWinnipeg, Dec. 22.\u2014Wholesale luin-\nlier men from Winnipeg to the coast\nmet at Calgary ycslcrday and unanimously decided to ask parliament\nfor a duty on Unitetl Stales lumber!\nCLUB HOUSE HONE.\nWashington, n.

This is fur.\ntiter borne-out -by -the figures - just\npublished by the Un ted Slates -department of commerce which show\nthat the exports Irom thc States\nto Mexico rose from \"ffiirteen'\nmillion dollars in. 181)0 to torty-six\nmillions in the present year, and Imports rose Iron; twenty-three millions\nto forty-lour millions. In fact the\nUnited States supplied fifty-nine' per\ncent, of Mexico's imports this year,\nand took seventy-six pef cent. : of\nher exports, liad the United States\nbeen content to allow tlle European\ncountries to control this trade as in\nthe early days; she never wottM-havc-\nsecured -such a large uhare lor herself. Maify of ITic; .things that Mexico exports are purchased today by\nCanadians .through, the United .States\nmiddle man; and there is no reason\nwhy this should    be the case when\nwe shall have a direct  line ot    our\n-     '\"    '   '    -   '  ^ -i\nown.

Mexico takes in return, manufactures-of\nvarious kinds, coal, lumber, leather\nand provisions. Canada can compete in. many articles and add t<i\nthem\u2014fish for example. There is\nno reason why, with our growing\ncommerce and ability to supply exports, Camilla should hot be able\nto get her share ol this large trade.\ntrade.       .   \u201e    \t\nDOG CAPTURES.\nThe poundkeeper has been making\na 'crusade alter dogs that is filling\nthe City Clerk's window with notices and the civic dog hotel with\nboarders.

S. COMMENT. ,,, ,.\nIt speaks highly lor the certainty\nlelt by the Britisli government that\nthere will he no impairment'of' thc\nfriendly relations with this country\nthat Great Britain is preparing to'\nremove her naval lorces from Canadian waters, on both oceans; and is\nlikewise proposing to reduce, if not\nwithdraw entirely, her garrisons Irom\nthc Canadian forts.\nIt secmd by' reports which come bt\nCanadian critics that the expectation\nis there that Canada will bo called\nupon to furnish and maintain at her\nown expense the garrisons which havo\nbeen crectedin thc past tor CanadaJs\nprotection and ol British naval stations in Canadian waters. The withdrawal of the British fleets Irom thus\nwaters leaves no reason lor tho\nmaintenance ol the forts save for the\nprotection of Canada alone, and as\nCanada contributes nothing 'irwily\nto the imperial defences, she u* likely\nto be asked rto maintain the cost of\nher own peculiar defences, at the\nleast.\nThere is no reason to doubt that\nCanada is prepared and will be willing to assume this burdeti. The Can-\namilan people, while intensely loyal to\nthe British crown, are also'' develop;\ning a spirit ol nationality. Canada\naspires to. a higher posit! in .hah\nmere dependency. Hiiro have been,\nIrom time lo tiriieL .claims advanced\nol thc right of Canada to deal directly with other states in matters\ninvolving Canadian interests. Without\nthe intervention of the British lor-\neign office.\nUnder thcr'circumstaiiccs it would\nseem that the Canadian people will\nhe very willing to assdmc the duty\nol garrisoning ihe forts built by imperial moneyiltor tne defense ol Canada, and thus advance one stL'i lir-\nthcr toward the dignity ol a nation\nby maintaining an army..for her own\ndefense.-Scattle P.-l.i '  I\nTHE SAME OLA?
