AU Free or All Slaves My-it He a World of Democracy or Under the Prussian Heel l-'liliu Root has put thc case of the l'nlted Stales against the Prussian autocracy with his usual forcefulness and clarity of expression. Ue says that as long as military autocracy continues democracy is not safe from attacks which are certain to conic sometime and are certain to find democracy unprepared. He adds: "To be safe, democracy must kill its enemy when it can and where it can. The world cannot he half democratic and half aristocratic, It must be all democratic or all Prussian." Mr. Root is applying to thc world us a whole the essence of the declaration Abraham Lincoln applied to this nation when hc said it could not continue to exist half slave and half free. In 1917 the world stands where this country stood in thc '60's; it is endeavoring to decide whether it is lo bc free or all slave.ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½Detroit Free Vrcss. iMj^Bfeu"fs; on Horses, CriHIr, ï¿½ï¿½.c, quickly cured hy EGYPTIAN LINIMENT For Sale by All Dealers Douglas & Co., Prop'rs, Napanee.

Southampton, Ont,, (Special'.ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ '1 hat rheumatism is caused by disordered kidneys and lhat Dodd's Kidney Pills will cure il is again proved by the case of Harold D, Bertram, a young man well and favorably known here. He had inflammatory rheumatism for two months, Dodd's Kidney I'ills cured him. "The doctor said my trouble started with the grippe," Mr. Bert rain states. "My hands and feet were badly swollen and lhc doctor did not seem to be doing mc any good. My grandmother, Mrs. G. Crasser, advised me to lake Dodd's Kidney I'ills. I took one box of them and 1 haven't been bothered since.

What "Raw Recruits" Have Done Effective Service Rendered in the War by ihc Small Contingents Vou may also remember lhat the first contingent of Canadians, consisting of 33,000 more or less raw recruits, ivas transported to Kngland in September, 1914, and was able to participate in tlie tierce battle of Ncuve Chapelle early in March, 1015. From thru till now at Viiny Heights the small Canadian contingent seem ingly has never been out of range of the German guns. It is needless lo recall whal effective service has been rendered by the small contingents of Australia and New Zealand or ihe imperishable glory won by American aviators and the American legion, v ho, with Alan Seeger, havc had a rendezvous with death "somewhere in France." In the battle of millions thc small contingent of the right sort has still continued to play a decisive part.ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½Chicago Herald. Farm Labor One of the handicaps to greater production is labor.

Some have no reserve strength in their systems lo bear the strain; others overtax what strength they havc. If you find that you arc nervous and not sure of yourself, that you sleep badly, and wake up tired and aching, your nerves arc out of order. Other signs arc inability to take proper interest in your work; your appetite is fickle; your back feels weak, and you are greatly depressed in spirits. Onc or more of these, signs mean that you should tf.ke prompt steps to stop mischief by nourishing the nerves with thc food lhcy thrive on, namely the rich, red blood made by Dr. Williams l'ink Tills. These pills have cured thousands of cases of nervous disorders, including nervous prostration, neuralgia, St. Vitus dance and partial paralysis. Here is an exampe. Mr. P.II. Callan, a well known business man in Coleman, P.E.I., says: "I owe my present health, if not life itself, to Dr. Williams' Pink Tills. 1 had always been an active man, and when I began to run down in health paid little attention to it as I thought it only a temporary weakness. As lime passed, however, 1 found myself growing worse, and consulted a doe tor, who said that I .was nol only badly run down, but that my nervous system was badly shattered. I lost Hrsh, my appetite was poor, I slept badly and notwithstanding the doe tor's treatment grew so weak that I had to leave my business and was confined to lhe house. Time went on and I was steadily growing weaker, and my friends wcrc all greatly alarmed for my condition. In this condition I was strongly recommended to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and as the doctor's medicine was not helping me 1 decided lo do so. By the lime I had used three boxes I could tell that they were helping inc. When I had taken eight boxes of tint pills 1 felt able to attend to my business again, and people were surprised to see. me out. I continued the use of thc pills until I had taken twelve boxes, by which time 1 was feeling as well as ever I did, and was being congratulated by all my friends on my full restoration to health. I leel now that if I had used Dr, Wll Hams' Pink I'ills at the outset I would not only have saved much money spent iu doctor's bills, but would have had renewed hcallh sooner. I cannot speak too highly of this med icine, and would recommend it tu every man who feels weak, ncfVOtll or run down."

It prays that the king constitute by royal charter an imperial graves commission on the lines proposed by the I'rinee of Wales to the prime minister. The conference records its deepest appriciation of the French government's generosity in allotting in perpetuity the land where our men arc buried, and it urges that similar arrangements be made in the peace terms with all the allies, enemy and neutral governments, hi Gallipoli, Mesopotamia, Africa and else where. The conference expresses the opinion that a readjustment of the important and intricate subject as to constitutional relations of lhc component parts of the Empire is lo be dealt with during the war, am should bc discussed at a special hn perial conference to bc held immediately after thc war. Thc conference records further that such readjustment, while, thoroughly preserving all existing powers of .self-govern ment and complete control of domestic affairs should he based upon hill recognition of the dominions as autonomous nations of an imperial commonwealth and of India as an important portion thereof, should recognize the right of. the dominions and India to a voice in foreign policy and foreign relations and should provide effective arrangements for continuous consultation on all important matters of common imperial interest and for such concerted action founded on that consultation as thc several governments shall determine. The conference recognizes the importance of securing uniformity of Empire policy and anion in regard to naturalization and commends the proposals submitted lo the overseas governments hy the home oflicc. It recommends thai there be no delay in taking steps for lhe establishment in London of an imperial mineral resource bureau, on which the whole Empire shall be represented, whose duties shall include -advising how its mineral resources may be developed pud made -available to meet the Umpire's metal requirements. In view of lhe experience of the war the conference draws attention lo the importance of developing adequately the capacity for production of naval and military material, munitions and supplies in all important parts of ihe Empire, Including the countries bordering on the Pacific and Indian oceans, where no such facilities at present exist, It affirms iii, Importance uf close co-operation between India, the dominions ami Ihc United Kingdom, with llis object in view.

The Real London Csnadian Woman Sees Things at They Are in War Time "London has been a great surprise to me," said a well-known Canadian lady doctor to 'flic Daily Mirror. "When 1 was last in London," she continued, "wc were just clearing up thc Boer war. J then saw London loose on a "joy ride." 1 saw youths playing football wilh silk hats outside thc stock exchange aud girls dancing in Trafalgar square. Everywhere thc war in those days was looked upon as a kind of picnic. "What a difference todayl During thc past months I have sought, but could find uo trace of the gay, thoughtless London crouds 1 saw then. London has become grimly earnest, h is no longer watching a war across wide oceans. ''It is in a war itself. The Londoners feel they arc lighting, and Ihey mean to win. "In only a little West End circle that you could draw with a compass, 1 have found extravagance and foolishness. The circle is really not London at all, J think, It is a cosmopolitan village, in Bohemia, entirely unrepresentative of your national life. "The- real London is working and making daily sacrifices with strong determination, "You can scc it amongst the men i;' the city and ill the factories. Tlicy are working at high pressure, and for once, although they are British, they arc not complaining. "And the women in the suburbs 1 They have justified their lillle red villages in the matter of thrift, Every suburban street has^scnt its quota of men lo the fronl, and iu every suburban street I have found women carrying on gladly and smiling. "'I'he whole extent and character of ivomcn's.labor 1 find has been changed by thc war. In no instances have I found that the women of London havc losl or arc losing their womanliness. "Ou thc contrary, I think they arc today, realizing a deeper sense of womanhood, finding in suffering a measureless strength for making sacrifices greater than ever before. "Just one word more, The London of today is a cleaner city morally than it uas at tin: beginning uf lhe century, Girls can go now into places without molestation that would have heen closed tc. them even tin years ago. "Don't send oul reports lo Canada and the world at large that Loudon i- in tin- grip of vice and the victim ol idleness.' The real Loudon is jtisl splendid, There is no need In tar- nisli her banners." It's Bad Business Restrictive immigration regulations affecting Canadians, as well as tariff measures, usually bring retaliation by lhc Dominion governnieni. So il is nol unlikely lhat Americans going to Canada will soon be paying $8 lurid tax, or have to go llirougli endless formality before, they can go where lhcy wish over lhc border. The Intercourse between the two countries has been growing steadily in the last few years. Canada has become one of the most important of the foreign customers of lhe United Stales. It is unfortunate that provisions of ihc new law should hit Canadians, for aside from friendliness we may feel toward them , it is bad business.ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½- Buffalo Express.

Why Americans Enlist So Slowly They Want Lots Cast and Then They'll Takeheir Chances as Indicated Annesley BurrowCS writes as foi lows in the. Detroit Free Press: That million of volunteers who were to spring to arms over night, according to the promise of anti-preparedness congressmen, have not yet J sprung. In fact thc United Stales j bas not as yet produced as many mil ï¿½ï¿½| itary volunteers as Canada produced during the first weeks of the war. Excluding the French Canadians, who have not responded lo the call, Canada has only a few more llian ,",- 000,000 of people, while the United Stales has about 20 times that number. Within two weeks after the call for volunteers, Canada had 32,000 men under arms, and more coinin On the same basis, had Canada been a nation of 100,000,000 il would have produced in the same period 7-10,0011 volunteers. Since the war began, Canada with her 5,000,000 of available population, has enlisted 400,000 volunteers and at the same rale, had slu possessed 100,000,000 population would have produced 8,000,000 ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ volunteers. Nobody has yet suggested that 8,- 000,000 Americans will volunteer or bc asked to volunteer for military service. But, ou thc other hand nobody would venture, t'o suggest that the young men of lhc Uniled States arc less courageous than the young men of Canada,. / The fact simply is lhat Ihc young men of the United States arc more progressive ihan the young men of Canada. The Canadians stuck to the old fashioned idea nf volunteering. 'lhcy persisted in the belief that tlie state has no right to call on its young men lo sacrifice life and fortune for the benefit of the whole, nation. In their opinion, it was the duty of the state to beg this favor of ils people and they thought the people retained thc privilege, of ascending when they fell like il, or of telling the slate lo go hang if they did not choose lo come to its aid. Iu a word, it never occurred to the Canadians to raise an army by any other means than the volunteer method. There are many American hoys who share the Canadian view, ami while these arc not enlisting over night, by the million, as some congressmen so confidently predicted, they arc nevertheless enlisting in considerable numbers, Mill llie majority of our youth have learned much since 1914, and look at the matter of military service from a new Hllglc, I'hey are qtiitr willing lo serve their country, but ihey do nol see why certain Ones should spring lo arms while a lot nl others who owe the same duty remain at home and make high wages or great profits out of lhe war in which the volunteers make nothing hui on ihe contrary lose leg-, blood, and health, ll is plain In them lhal lln- null fan- way in which the selection of soldiers can he mado is by the drawing nf hits. I'hey an perfectly willing to take chances. If they draw a job in a munition factory, or a chair in an oflicc, liny will perform their duty to the country in that capacity, and if they draw a billot with a regiment of infantry, or a battery of artillery, they will co to France , or elsewhere, and acquit themselves as ierieans should. French Praise for Canada The Echo dc Paris contains a detailed account of the part played hy Canada in the war. The paper says in pari: "Every week brings us news of Ihe unvarying generosity of the Canadians, who never cease to offer invaluable assistance iu money anil lives.

The ex-Leader, who must know how urgent is the need for men, would have a referendum on Conscription before passing it into law, in hope apparently that Ins stay-at-home fellow countrymen would swamp the proportionately few of the english speaking Canadians at the polling booths. Sir Wilfred has thrown down his opportunity of going down to posterity as a great statesman. By refusing to sink his narrow policy, nnd small minded views of the na- tional'peril, h. will be remembered and only for a few brief years, ns a notorious mediocrity, a politician rather than a patiiot. No wonder the best of the Liberals have kicked over the traces, and will have no truck with au alien mind, for Laur ier's views are almost as foreign to Canadian aspirations as the Kaiser's Men like Graham.

Minister Elected By Small Majority Victoria, June 23.ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½Hon. John Hart, newly appointed Minister of Finance in the Brewster cabinet, was elected at the ministerial bye- election in Victoria yesterday, His majority over Dr Ernest Hall was 153. The final count stood. Hart 1799; Hall 1646. The vote was not heavy being less than 3500 out of a total of aboul 16,000 names on the Victoria voters' list Dr. Hall ran iu the general election of September as au Independent Liberal, getting 1.03+ votes at that time. The showing made by Hon, John Hart yesterday was considered rather disappointing in government circles, for it had been hoped that he would score a decisive victory over any opponent.

John Oliver, Minister Agriculture, has authorized purchase of a limited number stumping machines to be supplied to Farmers' Institutes on a deferred payment system. This action on the part of. the Minister of Ag riculture is the outcome of a nitm ber of. teqiie.ts which have been received by the department from Farmer's Institutes. In giving the Farmer's Institutes this opportunity to purchase these machines the Department assnmes absolutely no responsibility antl tuSkes no recommendations regarding the comparative efficiency of the various types^ of machines on tlie market. The Deputy Minister and Supermen dent of Institutes, Mr. Win. C. Scott has witnessed several demon strations and at each 0110 the results have been satisfactory. The Department of Agriculture will supply application forms lo any Fanner's Institutes on request These forms must be Bigned by the I'l-es'.d -ut, Vice President and Directors and also by five member of tlie Institute. Freight charges on the machines must be pnid by the liir-titnte from the factory, Terms I'm- payment ol the machines are' one third on delivoiy; one third in one year, ami remain ing third in two years: No interest will be charged on unpaid balances but interest at 10 per cent will be charged on over due iwynieiits. Institutes that fail to make llieir payments promptly, will nut receive llieir per aapits gi'anl on account ol membership but the sum will bu devoted loWfU'd. tho payment duo.

The Squire stooped anil kissel tin- lips lifted to his. There was a rustic --a stealthy sound outside the door, a knocking at the door. He drew the girl closer to him lie hid her fare against his should cr; he put a hand softly over her ear. Only for her fears lie would have liked lo come lo close quarters with the man outside. But she had to be guarded. There must bc no, noise about her, no talk, no scandal. The latch was lifted. There was the sound of someone pressing hard against the. door. A pause. The footsteps '.vent around lhe house, stealthily, slowly, wilh the. sound like, a padding of some heavy animal The Squire put the girl out of his arms lu extinguish the lamp. He had had a sudden fear that below the door rn' the room, through .nine chink, the light might shine. The room now was in complete darkness lie could feel the healing of Dolly's hearl againsl his own as lie went back lo her and drew her to him in the darkness, Il was not so hc wished to protect lur; not iu the darkness listening for a loot as though he werv afraid, Bul it was the oniy way. In a few moments the footsteps came back again. Again the latch was lifted. Then something hurled itself againsl the door like a battering ram. lhe stout door shook under the assault.

It was as lliough some great beast rather than A man tried in conic in. Again there was a quietness, and he felt the girl quiver in his arms. She tried to get away from him.

He was willing her to conic lu him, lo open the door, His hands closed upon her shoulders, gently, yet firmly, "Turn tn your prayers, my dear," he whi-Pcr- eil. "You shall nut open the door."

Hc unbarred tbe door and stepped out into the shadow of lhc house. Beyond lay the little garden, the. shadow of the apple trees flung on to the beds in ihc bright moonlight. She stayed to extinguish lhe lamp, to find ihe key of lhc door. While hc stood there in the shadow he had the strangest feeling that his life was threatened. It was as though a knife were lifted to bc plunged between his shoulder blades. Nerves of course! Nothing but nerves. What was coming to him that hi: should be afraid? It seemed a long space of lime while Dolly extinguished the lamp and found the key. He bad time to turn siek with terror lest at this moment, when hel had gained her, when she needed j him so terribly, bis thread of life should bc slit. ; He broke from the fear as one! breaks, with horrible struggles, from; a nightmare. 'There was a cold sweat on his forehead; but be was his own man again. He said lo himself that he knew now how men felt when j tlicy looked on Tear. Hc turned j about and gazed at the yew hedge' by which hc had ben standing. For a second he imagined lhat he saw somethingï¿½ï¿½ï¿½something thin and light! like a wraith of the moonlight. For; n second he thought it had Mary Champney's eyes, that something like wings had closed around him. Of course it was nothing but a mist. The day had been warm, and the. earth was steaming in lhc heavy lew. Dolly was by his side, very gentle, very submissive, softer than thistledown, but warm and living. "I have kept you," she said. "Oh, no, my dear," he replied. "It was nothing. Only a second or twq. Vou will find that I can always wait for you, with endless patience, so long as you come at last."

Use of Printer's Ink the Only Way to Get Business .Several dray loads of catalogues were recently received in Peterborough from mail order houses in To ronto, and the postmen were for a few days almost worked to death delivering this bulky matter to thc various addresses. An almost equally large number went oul by rural delivery lo lhc fanners. It is hard to estimate or even approximately guess how much money is diverted from this city to Toronto aud other points by this class of busi ness. And yet the patrons of the mail order houses are not entirely tn blame fur llieir apparent lack of local pride. They are simply falling under the influence uf the an nf advertising, the art lhat never fails In sway lhc masses. The mail order houses make a lavish use of printer's ink and get returns for llieir outlay. As much cannot be said fur relail dealers. There are merchants in this city wh.o advertise steadily and extensive ly. Anyone can see that these are ihe men whose (lores are most up to Uiite and with v.horn business is brisk. In nllur lines ihere is an agreement among lhe dealers nut to advertise. If one broke lhe rule the others would be obliged to fullow the example Inr their own safety. (an the customer be blamed, cm the dealer complain, if the former con- suits his mail order catalogue and making' his selection, sends his money lo Toronto? An agreement to keep oul ni lhe advertising columns has one feature to recommend il. It distributes tlle depression among lhe parlies of the contract and all suffer thc consequences in common. ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ Peterborough Review.

Utilii-- Af the Motor Car in Desert Warfare The, utility of the motor in desert warfare is illustrated by a noteworthy exploit of the car batteries in the Egyptian campaign. Three armored cars, two light cars with machine guns, and 12 other motors carrying petrol and water, lefl to make a reconnaissance, In the neighborhood a considerable body of the en- emy'-was believed to bc at lhc time at noon. The column, having filled up with peliol and put on board as much water for radiators as could bc carried, continued the long trek. Bivouacking 126 miles inland, the party got under way at six the next morning, and did good running for three hours, bul Ihc sun's rays were blistering, and tho wind blowing from the north, Ihe. engines got very hot. The drivers had been warned not to expect to find a pint of waicr on the road, and there was a serious prospect of water in the radiators running out befure lhe return journey could be completed. Nevertheless, the southward run was continued until the mileage was 102, when the cars reached the fringe of lhc plateau In front of the plain of Siwa. Along the edge of thc plateau tlicy ran for eighl miles, and tlic.-t lhc waicr difficulty determined the question whether further progress could be made. Fortunately, the wind grew cooler, and helped the cars on the homeward trip. Tito party arrived in the afternoon of the following day entirely on their own supplies, no depot having becn formed on the route. Prophetic Utterance of Lloyd George and Its Fulfillment It is worth recalling that in August, 1915, when Russia was reeling under the shock of military reverses, Lloyd George expressed unshaken faith in the strength of mighty Russia. Here i.s a quotation from this prophetic utterance: "The enemy iu their victorious march know not what they are doing. Let them beware. For they arc unshackling Russia, villi their monster artillery they arc shattering thc rusty bars that fctler the strength of the people of Russia. Vou can see Ihem shaking their powerful limbs from the stilling debris and preparing for lhe conflict with a new spirit. 1 repeat the enemy know not what lhcy are. achieving for their apparent victim, Austria and Germany are doing [or Russia loday what their military masters effected just as unwillingly for France. Tlicy are hammering a sword that will destroy them, and arc freeing a great nation to wield it with a more potent stroke and a mightier sweep than ii ever yet commanded."

Duelling in the Air Romance of Old Pale Into Insignificance Beside Deeds of Today ^ This/passage from a correspondent's report of the air fighling on the l'riti__ front is worth a little extra atention: The greatest light yesterday, oddly enough, was a drawn battle, One of the British pilots met a brilliant German flier and for a full hour they manoeuvered in a most marvelous manner without cither being able lo hi ing his gun to bear ou lhc other, 'i'hey rolled, looped, twisted, deliberately stalled their engines and, standing the machines on their tails, slid'backward through thc air, but all lu nu avail. Il was probably lhc most wonderful air duel the war has yet seen. The British pilot reported that several limes he fell sure he would get his adversary between his sights, but the latter invariably wriggled out of the line of fire. The British flier himself was kepi busy avoiding ihe German, and once he had to dive almost perpendicularly. Tin: combat did not break oil until both idiots had fairly exhausted themselves and their petrol. The world has grown familiar with the tales of air duels, but probably no one, unless hc is himself an aviator, fully grasps tbe marvelous feats which arc being done every day. The aeroplane has Brought bark lhe days when knights went out before the armies lo engage iu single combat; but what are the deeds of those old knights, which have filled thc pages of romance for centuries, compared with the ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ duels of the modern aviators? What were the skillful horsemanship and swordmanship of the ancient champions compared with the hunting of onc another by bird-men armed with machine guns, three miles or more above the earth's surface? The wildest imaginations of yesterday never conceived anything equal to what is actualy happening today. Americans After Canadian Potatoes Heavy Shipments are Sent South From Saskatchewan and Alberta The scarcity of the potato in th* United States has led several wholesale firms there to send up scuuts to Western Canada in order to obtain supplies of the now "elusive spud." Some 30,000 to 35,000 bushels which have been kept hi storage all winter by the fanners have been shipped since April 1 from North Saskatchewan to Chicago and other American centres. Northern Alberta also is ex. purling about 500 cars to the United States. Thc price obtained is from .1 to $1,25 a bushel. 'lhat the farm- ns uf the west have stored away large quantities of potatoes which they arc now preparing to release Is the concensus of opinion amuugst wholesale bouses.

Keep Minard's Liniment in the house Birds Give Warning On thc battlefield of France and Flanders birds overhead give warning of the approach of noxious fumes of asphyxiating gas before it is perceptible to t!ic senses of the soldiers. Dr. Cabancs, says that the birds arc roused from their slumbers before the odor of the gas has been detected in the trenches, and at once begin to make a confused clamor as they hastily take their flight to the rear, thus warning the men behind the guns to don their gas masks arid be ready for the deadly unseen foe.

The American Motoiist, the official organ of the American Automobile association says:ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ "New York's decree that any person found guilty will be sentenced to a year in the penitentiary and a fine of #50, errs only oil the side of leniency. It should be five years iii the penitentiary nnd $500 line.
