SPECIAL TREAT S On the evening of the first day of the Grand Forks fair, Tuesday, September 28, in the exhibition building, a special treat'will be given the people of the city and the visitors to the fair, when they will have the pleasure of hearing an uddress by Rev. Fred H. Graham, of Nelsor, on \"National Ideals and Individual Responsibility.\" The massed choirs of the city, under the leadership of H.

THE MAIN FACTS ARE UNTOUCHED \" Vancouver, B. C., Sept. 15, 1915. ���������In view of the misleading state- ' ments that have been circulated throughout the province regarding the motives and actions of the Min isterial Union of the Lower Main land, in the matter of the publication of the pamphlet entitled \"The Crisis in B. C ,\" I am instructed to forward the enclosed resolutions, unanimonsly adopted, at the last meeting of the union,���������which meeting was one of the largest and most representative yet held. J. R. Robertson, Secretary. THE RESOLUTIONS. In view of the repeated statement* ���������that Rev. A E. Cook and the others whose names are signed to \"The Crisis in B. C.\" acted un* their own responsibility, we submit the follow ing facts for the consideration of your readers: l.That the Ministerial Union of the Lower Mainland approved of the policy of issuing a statement to the public on the exploitation of the natural resources of British Col urn bia. --......- 2. That' in puisuance of that policy a committee of investigation was appointed which represented us throughout. This committee met a great many times, sent two of its members to Victoria for some dtiys to consult the records on file there, .find to verify all copiesof documents submitted and statements made about the situation throughout the province. As as result of these investigations they were convinced of the accuracy of the statements which were afterwards made in the pamphlet. 3. This report was presented and eliscussed in detail at several of the most largely attended meetings of tbe Ministerial Union ever held, and was unanimously and heartily endorsed by everyone who was present at the last and most largely attended of all the meetings. 4. That the campaign of publicity . 6. After having carefully oh^id-j ered all the answers and ex plan a tion given on behalf of the government, we are more than ever convinced of the necessity of the inves tigatiou, for which we appeal. Inallthese attempted replies, the main facts set forth in the pamphlet \"The Crisis in B. 0.\" have re mained entirely untouched. Our only desire is that the people of British Columbia should know the truth, and we feel that -if a full and non partisan investigation be held, every charge we have made will be fully borne out in all essentials.

Manuel, Robson Methodist Memorial Church, Consulting Member of Committee Death of Jeffrey Hammar Jeffrey Hammar, one of Grand Forks' pioneers, who was manager for a number of years for P. Burns &, Co.'s store in ihis city, died on Monday. September 20, at Chilli- wack. B. C., wheie he has. been conducting a meat market on \" his own account for a number of years. The cause of his death Was sugar diabetes. Pie was about 50 years of age. Tbe funeral was held at. Chilliwack under.the auspices of the Knights of Pythias, of which order he was a prominent member, having, been grand chancellor of the domain of British Columbia during the year 1907. He is survived by three children, his wife having but recently passed away. Mr. 'Hammar played a prominent part in the early history of Grand Forks. He was alderman for a number of years, and served as mayor of the city for two terms. During his last administration he was instrumental in materially reducing the number of liquor licenses. He was also a leading spirit in a number of the fraternal organizations of the city. IACESAND SPORTS AT THE FAIR \"On the Field of Honor\" The publishers of The Family Herald and Weekly Star, Montreal, are making a strong- bid for that beautiful pictuae, full of pathos, entitled \"On the Field of Honor.\" It is assumed the publishers of the Family Herald have in mind using it as a presentation plate. If that is so there is a great treat in store for readers of The Family Herald and Weekly Star this autumn. In past years The Family Herald of Montreal has been noted not only for the wonderful ex cellence of that paper but for many beautiful pictures it has presented to its readers.

The prize money in many sections has been greatly increased, and the competition will therefore be keener and the exhibits of a superior character. One notable instance in which prizes worth fighting for have been hung up is for the best individual ranch display. These are: First prize, $75; second, 850; third, 825; fourth,. 8.10. In the live stock section, the amount of the prizes offered \"for registered cattle have been more tban doubled over last year, and this fact should bring out the best exhibit in this section ever seen in this portion of the province. At the Presbyterian church next Sabbath at 11 a.m. the aunual '���������'Rally Day\" service will be held, for which printed programs are provided. All parents and Sunday school scholars, including the cradle roll, .are expected to be present. Come. At the evening service, 7:30 o'clock, the pastor will speak on the topic, \"A Lost Opportunity.\" Tbe board of school trustees have proclaimed Wednesday, the 29th inst., a school holiday in.order to afford the children an opportunity to attend the fair. The city council has been asked by the Agricultural association to declare two civic half holidays during the fair. Action on this request will be taken at the meeting on Monday night.next. FAIR ENTRIES' Entries for the sixth annual Grand Forks fall fair close tomorrow night, Saturday, September 25. After that date no more exhibits can be entered for competition. It is necessary to strictly enforce this rule.--1. It is also desirable that everybody in the city and valley who can do so should make a display. By acting on this injunction, the success of the fair will be proportion ately more pronounced. H HTHA MIKE carried on throughout the province , by Rev. A. E. Cooke, as secretary of \\in% widespread attention in Europe It's poor rule that hangs lire when the union, was planned and directed by the Ministerial Union throughout; jts ,n.Thc little fellows should be allowed to range -is far as possible and have abundance of sunshine ancl shade so that they can have the benefit of either at will. Lon . growth and bushes afford ideal protection from wind and help much in adding to the undisturbed growth of a growing flock- Corn fields and fields bearing such like crops-are the very- best places to allow the small chicks to range and' if their coops can bo placed in proximity to such it will prove the very best arrangement that could be secured. Food in the summer season is just as important as at any other time. Perhaps'.'more- or-lcss is due .to improper feedng than most people imagine. This is especially true Of overfeeding. It is r. simple matter to reduce the amount of food the old flock gets and practically eliminate such heating foods as corn and buckwheat. However,: we believe if a variety is fed in limited quantities the birds will get along very nicely and: give first-clas.\"* results. 'It is not quite as important what kinds of grain they get as the number of varieties-of. grain offered them., The birds can balance it to. their individual requirements and\"the:i they do not get more than they can cat. up nicely which will be evident at feeding time. Dry inash of good balance can be used with the best resul'.s and danger from, overfeeding is practically done away with. Too much water cannot be supplied the birds ,'it this \"time and the of'tener it is changed the fresher and cooler it will be for them. Special attention to this detail will result in -more eggs when many birds are resting or loafing and have better birds to enter the fall and winter for business at that time. .... With the small chicks feed and water require closest attention in every detail. We have not found anything to replace a good commercial chick food for thu first six weeks. Usually we give treats of some sort of meat cooked and cut up Tor the every other day \"or so and hard boiled eggs when we can spare them.- As the weather gets warm .the danger seems to lie in any end 'avor to force the little fellows and generally with sloppy feed of some sort cr other start bowel trouble .that will bring disaster to a good many of them. A little food often, of big variety, and a:, much milk as we can let them nave gives a chick as good a start as anything, and particular attention during the hot weather must be paid to see that f,hey do not get too much. Good, dry mash, of course, prevent;* this likelihood of over-feeding and while we are coming to use the system more ancl more a little time is gained by us by using .*. wet mash made up largely of bran and ground grains moistened to a crumbly mess with sour or sweet milk.. We believe the birds .feather better and possibly are ready just a little sooner than wilh the dry mash entirely. If these details are given close attention, innumerable difficulties that may arise may be avoided, such a*s roup, canker, chickenpox, going light, consumption, and all forms of lost vitality due to being fairly eaten up with mites and lice that multiply by the millions where the conditions favor them. It may seem easier to overlook these little details during the hot days, but we fully believe every effort made to .stick to the attending to the necessary daily details for success.'will be well repaid in the increased results that cannot help but be evident whtilths chicks come to maturity.���������A.

It now falls to them to show that, while fhiF. good fighting spirit is inta-ct, they can make themselves the equal and the superior of their scientific enemy. It. can be done, and, If and when it is done, wc believe that the old fighting: spirit will still prove itself the superior.

Vision in the Eyes Why It Does Net Appear Absolutoly Dark When. You Wink When a person winks his eyes .1:e. momentarily covers the entire eyeballs and everything therefore should turn absolutely black and be in total darkness for the instant. As a matter . of fact, he certainly^ is in total darkness, but he is unconscious of same. The reason he is unconscious is that the eye is incapable of removing a certain view from itself until an eighth of ..second has elapsed. So the view seen just* before the ball goes into eclipse continues to be seen for an eighth of.-. second. But as the eye is not covered ' by the lid as long as this, a new view arrives to supplement the old view before the old one has vanished. Thus the darkness is not noticed, althougk there is no doubt that it exists. \"This samei'���������peculiarity of the eye enables moving pictures to have their being. It also\"is the reason why a lighted torch whirled rapidly around shows a path instead of a sequence of torches. Also why n rapidly rotating wheel does not show its spokes. If a snapshot be taken o\" such a wheel'it does show the spokes, however, and proves the above fact of persistence. Or if the wheel be viewed by ;. lightning flash it shows them.���������New York.

British Heroes The Brave Six Hundred Who Died in Silence Writing home to his daughter from the Dardanelles, a member of the French, Expeditionary Force describes in a letter, reproduced by the Matin, how he saw 1-I.M.S. Majestic go to her doom. It was about G.35 a.m., he says, when the battleship was struck. As | soon as she was torpedoed by the i German submarine she heeled over in an alarming fashion till she had a\" list of about 45-degrees to port- Everything on deck fell or slid with a tremendous din and\" whatever was not attached was thrown iuto the sea. But I owe to the truth to say that there was not a single instant of panic' and that many of the seamen ���������who, recognizing the imminence of the ���������danger, had undressed waiting the critical instant with calm. They had not long to wait, for four minutes after the explosion the Majestic abandoned her inclined position and turned completely over aud went down, the forward keel alone enlarging. It was a terrible moment, but it was also sublime when six hundred men, facing death mute and strong, were thrown into the sea, covered and caught in the torpedo nets which ensnared them like an immense cast- net among the gigantic eddies of their annihilated battleship. British Valor Unsurpassed British courage, was never more gloriously exhibited than it has been by the soldiers and sailors of the empire during the present conflict. The long roll of\", British victories in the past centuries was never embellished by nobler feats of arms than those performed upon land and sea by British army and navy during the past twelve months. Not Clontarf gave greater glory to Irishmen than has the ceaseless warfare in the trenches of Flanders given the sons of the Emerald Isle. The courage of Bannock- bunr has carried through the intervening centuries, and . the men of Scotland have died at Namur, at.Mons and at Ypres even as their fathers died for generations that-their land should be kept free. Crecy, Poitiers, Agincourt, .Blenheim, . Badajoz \"*��������� ~or Waterloo gave_\"English soldiers : no greener laurels for bravery than have Neuvs Chapelle, St. Julien and Given- chy.

Italy Bitter Against Germans The bitterness which prevailed against Germany in Italy as far back as last September is graphically told in a letter which the Prager Tageblatt prints in its issue of June 1G. A German business man stopping in Milan, seeking a connection with some business hous- in Italy, inserted an advertisement to this effect- This man was well known and respected in Milan, where he had been doing business for ten years. He was amazed when he received the following.re- ply in Italian from a commercial concern in Milan: \"Only a German could have the audacity and impudence to think that as a spy of the German General Staff he could find accomplices jn Italy. You infamous brigands, destroyers of churches and torturers of thc wounded! May thc curse of our Clod annihilate your despicable country!\" German Cavalry Sent to Certain Death by Heartless Commanders''- Half a battalion of German soldiers swung suddenly into a clear space between two woods. They came forward ���������at the slow trot which is ordained and practised for such adventures. T'hc men in. the front rank had actually, locked arms, as if these most modern of warriors were pai;t and parcel of a Macedonian phalanx. Their rifles were not even held at the hips, much less puf\"to the shoulder,\" but were suspended by straps with the muzzles pointing .upwards.and- backwards. The reason was that the men had no arms or hands to spare. The one arm was locked in the neighbor's; the other was Weld across and in front of the eyes to hide the death,that was coming. It is needless to\"add that none of this sacrificed company dealt death and all of them died. The incident, was told to me by a British officer who has seen as much of the war as anyoueand has most deservedly ��������� made his name in the war. He, gave the story in the course of conversation as an example of the: most moving spectacle which had come before his eyes during the war. The slung grille and the hands before the eyes degraded the soldiers to sheep, a sight to; distress another soldier's heart, even though an enemy's. Why the men were forced to this almost passive immolation none could tell; but apparently they represented a deliberate move in a concerted attack. They were meant to die for an unknown end. The attack failed, and the Germans lost heavily. The obedience, to which the whole nation is attached, was in this case ruin. How very different is the German soldier when his individuality is given play. \"In the dodges of trench warfare they beat us every time,\" said the commander of one section of our trenches. Their, snipers have exhibited a. remarkable combination of patience, scientific, precision, and on occasion daring. The standard plan is to watch for any movement in the opposing trench; either at head or above the trench or a flick of movement behind a loophole. Using a telescope, 'sight and fixing the rifle on a rest and'.\"drawing a bead\" oi- the spot, the sniper will wait for an hour or two till the movement is seen again; and so accurate is he that a hit is almost certain. We have tested this accuracy again and again with dummies and movement of paper or stuff behind loopholes. I do not suggest that the German snipers are better than ours; but I am quite sure that they have an easier quarry. More Germans see British than British see Germans.\" ���������London Daily Mail.

The average daily receipts of milk in New York City in 1914 were 2,541,- 2S0 quarts, which with a population of five and a half millions gives an average daily par capita allowance of more than three gills.

Great Britain Getting' Inventions Thousands of Offers Have Been Received Since the War Began The appointment of an inventions hoard of scientific men, with Lord Fisher, recently first lord of the admiralty, as its head to assist the British navy, was largely the result of the suggestion made by Lord Bryce. former ambassador to the United States, to the house of lords and following upon* a discussion in which similar proposals were made by Sir William Rah~ say and other eminent scientists. Lord Bryce pointed out that the country needed not only fighting men, but should mobilize its inventive ingenuity in chemistry, mechanics, engineering, physics���������the whole range of science. .While the American navy was a few days anead of the British in launching this plan, according to the cables, its. inception in both cases was due to the lessons of the war. The admiralty received 1C.000 offers of new scientific devices during the first five months of the war. Many were from Americans. Another 16,000 doubtless came under 'the stimulus-of the last five months. Of the first 10,000 a hoard undertook to sort the wheat from the chaff to eliminate the \"crank\" proposals, and reduced to 25 the number which, in the board's -judgment, were worthy of any attention. Another board has scrutinized these 25 more rigidly, and reduced them to just two. These two are being worked out with.every precaution of secrecy, and every prospect, it is declared, of giving a surprise in mechanical warfare exceeding anything produced by German ingenuity. \"Elaborate trials have been made of one of these devices in English waters aud in actual service at the Dardanelles. Rigid secrecy has been observed as to the details, but. it can be said that the trials give promise of rendering a battleship immune from the submarine torpedo. \"I have talked with many scientific men, and they are ready to give their best efforts in devising all the manifold requirements of this, extraordinary war���������a war of science had developed in-the .ah; the water, beneath the water, and in every conceivable way, as weir as on the fighting line,\" said Lord Bryce, referring to his suggestions. \"It is the scientific men who use their brains in thinking out the remarkable devices which are revolutionizing modern warfare, and then the ordinary agencies of government merely carry out and apply what science'has devised.

Winston Churchill is worthy of preservation as a terse but telling picture of tlie British position in the war. \"The word of Britain, is now taken as ihe symbol and the. hall mark of international good faith and loyalty of our Dominions and Colonies vindicates our civilization and the hate of our enemies proves the effectiveness of our warfare. -���������: Yet I would advise you from time to time, when you are anxious or depressed, to dwefl a little on the color and light of the terrible war pictures now presented to the eye. See Australia and New Zealand sjniting down in the last and finest crusade the combined barbarisms of Prussia and Turkey! General Louis Botha holding South Africa for the King! See Canada defending to the death the last few miles of shattered Belgium! Look further and across the smoke and carnage of the immense battlefield, look forward to tlie vision of a united British empire on the calm background/ of a liberated Europe! Then turn\\again to your task. Look forward, do not look backward. Gather afresh in heart and spirit all the energies of your being, bend anew together for a supreme effort. The times are harsh, need'is dire, the agony of Europe is infinite. But the might of Britain, hurled_;_ united into the conflict, .will he irresistible. We are the grand reserve of the Allied cause, and that grand reserve must now march forward as one man!\" Here is a mixture of kingdoms, if not.of metaphors, taken from a history examination paper: \"He stretched his sultry length beneath the ewe-tree's shade.\" \"Away back as .ar as the time of Jack Carter, England sent her ships into Hudson Bay to trade beads and muskets with the Indians for ivory off the walrus-tree.\"���������Century. \"We need a young woman to run our filing department,\" said the big business man. \"Have you had any experience in that line?\" \"Lots of'.if.\" replied the fair applicant. \"I worked for over a year in a manicure parlor.\" Change the Vibration It Makes For Health W.

His health began to improve at once for the reason that a meat eater will reach a place once in a while where his system seems to become clogged and the machinery doesn't work smoothly- A change of this kind puts aside food that is slow to digest and takes up food and drink of the highest value, already partly digested and capable of being quickly changed into good, rich blood and strong tissue. A most valuable feature of Grape- Nuts ia the natural mineral elements (phosphate of potash, etc.) grown in the grains from which it is made. These elements are absolutely necessary for the well-balanced rebuilding of body, brain and nerves.

Two Ways of Measuring Mr. Lloyd-George's -wit on the platform is well known, but Pearson's Weekly says that the following was one of the neatest retorts he ever made: Pie was addressing a meeting in South Wales when the chairman, thinking t.o_he witty at the chancellor's expense, remarked to the audience that he was a little disappointed in Mr. Lloyd-George's appearance. \"I had heard so much about Mr. Lloyd George,\" he said, \"that I naturally expectedto meet a big man in every sense; but, as you can see for, yourselves, he is very small in sta-' ture.\" \": Many an orator would ..have been grievously upset by such an unfortunate beginning to the proceedings, but not so Mr. Lloyd George. \"1 am grieved to find,\" he said, with mock seriousness, \"that your chairman is disappointed in my-'size, but this is owing to the way you have hero of measuring a man. in North Wales we measure a man from his chin up. but you evidently measure him from his chin down!\" After that, the chairman made no more personal remarks. Sign Letters to Soldiers The post office department calls attention to the fact that letters addressed to soldiers at the front should be signed by the writers in full. Where letters signed by Christian name only cannot be delivered owing to the address being missing, wounded or dead, it is impossible for the Cnnadian postal service to return thorn to the senders. In view of this tlie public is urged to fully sign all letters addressed to soldiers at tlie front, and in addition to this to indicate the name and address of the sender &n the upper left hand corner of the address side of thc envelope.

PRICE LIST Spring Flowering Bulbs, Shrubs, Plants and Rose Bushes We live to learn. This is what our friend along the street has to say today in the course of a criticism of. the proposition submitted by the unemployed committee: \"In discussing questions of this nature very many people think of the government as something apart from the people, forgetting that any government is a committee of citi zens to whom is entrusted for the time being the administration of the affairs of the community at large. The government has no source of income except what it gets from the community,and if it pays out money for any purpose it is public money that is so paid. This is a good thing to remember in connection with other things besides the relief of the unemployed.\" Quite so; and we are sure that the government never iorgets that it is spending the community money instead jf its own. For instance, the enormous commissions which were paid to political friends on land deals might have been saved bad the ministers forgotten that the were us ^ing community funds/ Under the impression that they were spending their own, they would have been most vigilant and careful.' We know they would not have j|hired Col. Thomson to superintend the work at Stiatcona park at $15,000 per an num. But while the goveanment always remembers that it is using community money when it is spending extravagantly, it forgets to account to the community for the way in which it does the spending. In the last ten years the government has spend probably $100,000,000 . and the public accounts committee of the legislature has held but one' meeting, and that was a farce.��������� Victoria Times.

The war, however, at once'caused advances of about seven points, and though there was a reaction almost immediately and although the year ended on approximately the same level as it be: gan, the effect on the average for the IU months was a rise.. The depart- . mental index number) (which includes 272 commodities) stood at 136.1 for 1914, compared with 135.5 for 1913, and 134.4 for 1912, these numbers being percentages of the average prices prevailing* during the decade 1890-95, the period adopted by the departments as the basis of comparison. Tha point reached in September, namely 141.4, was the highest recorded by the department since 1890. v The chief increases for the year as a whole appeared in the groups, grains and fodder, which rose 14-per cent.; animals and meats, 6 per cent; woollens, 8 per cent.; hides, 10 per cent; , drugs and chemicals, 7 per cent. Raw furs declined 33 per cent., fuel and lighting 6 per cent, and cottons 5 per cent. Food prices return ed to the high levels that in the latter part of 1911 and early 1912. Meats were on a high level throughout the year, but showed much weakness, in the last three months- An appendix to the report gives the average retail prices of some 32 articles of food and~\"~of coal,j wood and coal oil, and the rent of a representative workingman's dwelling in each of the localities of the Dominion having a population of 10,000 and over for each year back to 1910. A statement showing the average weekly expenditure of a typical family of five on these staple commodities gives thc cost of a budget of food at $7.73, as comnared witii .$7.33 in 1913 and 1912, and ?7.11 in 1911, ancl $0.95 in 1910. Canadian Bravery The Clean Record Men of Canada M.ide in France Colonel Carrie, M.P., who has returned to Ottawa temporarily from \" the front, adds his tribute to the Canadian troops in France, whose bravery hi's rung throughout the length and breadth of the British empire. It is a tribute from one soldier to other Eoldiers and none can be of greater value. Our men, says Colonel Currie, \"fought like veterans. They were eight to one against us, but our men held out. Today no troops on the whole batflefront have a better reputation for courage, fighting ability and reliability than have the Canadians. The German prisoners wtih whom I have talked tell the same story and the German newspapers echo it\" Canada's sons have covered them-1 selves with glory. They have done all-, that men can do- And when -one remembers in how brief a time they had to train themselves for the tremendous task laid upon them, the marvel is a'l the greater. \"It was a clean record all through,\" said Colonel Currie, \"lhat the men of Canada made in Frauce.\" And a noble and heroic one, too.���������Vancouver World.

Future Industrial Prosperity Depends on Co-operation, Says American Pape.- A farmer-banker conference has no ordinary significance at this time- It is an opportunity to bring a lagging public opinion up to date. Free ancl easy America, willingly or unwillingly; must pull itself together for future industrial prosperity in much the same way that Europe in waging the war. The enormous advantages of national co-operation will accrue to a* country at peace as well as a country at war, is it to be supposed for a second that Great Britain will .let Lloyd George go at the end: of the war in the face of the trade machine that the Gerinan government has perfected? Co-operation that Americans have so voluminously talked about and ro generally neglected has now become a necessity. Business men, legislators, producers, and consumers must organize if the United States .is; to ..take, a position in proportion to its size, riches, ability and resources. In an age of world co-operation an exaggerated individualism must not confuse democratic progress.

Co-operation in place of individualism does not run counter to any democratic principles or theories, but merely puts them ou trial again. Can an individualistic democracy adapt itself 'intelligently to the methods that will bring the greatest prosperity to the country?

ON DIFFERENT FOOTING THAN OTHER NATIONS The Influence Which Drew Russia and France into the Conflict Were Irresistible, but Britain Was not Immediately Involved ���������Fighting to give Every Nation a Right t6 Exist Shortage of Labor A Famine of Unskilled Labor is Pr2- dicted According to C.P.R. advices there is likely to be a shortage of. farm labor in the west in the fall. There are alrealy over 100,000 of our Canadian young men under arms, and the war may demand more. Immigration is, of course, at a standstill. It will be impossible to get men from the oast, where- men are scarce, and men who, after the hardest, would be a burden on the people. The question is, where will the men come from? The press is advising the farmers to hire men now and to hire them for a year in advance. There is indeed, talk of a fam.ne of unskilled labor in the fall. Many thousands of men, not merely from Canada, but the States, have left for Europe, since the war started. Where will the men come from, and particularly in view of the added acreage, which will mean more labor, as there is fully 30 per cent, of increase under cultivation? The States expects the largest crop in its history; and experts in the west insist that our crop, if the favorable conditions are maintained, will be the largest that we have produced. It is now the question of labor that is agitating the minds of the farmers. Several towns and municipalities have suspended their programme of public work in order that all the laborers possible should be on the land for the harvest Beginning to Wake Up is in Germany Now Realizes That She Wrong With the World A neutral observer in the London Times writes: A few Germans are beginning to wot:dor what is the matter with Germany, or rather witli her leaders, why everyone is l'aliing on her and endeavoring to stab her to the heart, why she has no friends, and why she cannot keep the peace with those hitherto neutral. Germany today has so many hatreds to cater for, s������. many enemies to damn, that she is ro longer equal to the task, and there are many signs that would tend to indicate a more rober spirit is taking.thc place of the \"Gott strafe\" fever) Genua- public opinion is at the present moment the most .inarticulate in Europe, the people havB never been permitted to think politically, and international polities are for the groat majority a closed book.

Farmers and Manufacturers Effort to Bring Aboui More Friendly Relations One of the most important events of the past year was the sympathetic understanding which was reached between farmers-and manufacturers. In discussing this, Canadian Fartn, a weekly agricultural journal published in Toronto, says: \"The farmer is not inherently antagonistic to thc manufacturing interests- While the basic industry in Canada is agriculture, the one is largely thc complement of the other. The farmer is depend .-nt upon the manufacturer for a large share of the equip- meat necessary to successfully carry on his farming operations. On the other hand, the business of the manufacturer could make little progress without a prosperous farming community aud increased production from the land. \"The relations between the farmer and the manufacturer, instead of being antagonistic, should be of the mo.jt friendly character. To bring about more friendly relations and greater co-operative 4effort there must be give and take on both sides.\"���������Industrial Canada. It is a fact as uncicniahje' as it is remarkable, that although but remotely connected with the imme liate conditions which precipitated the war, Great Britain occupies today the position of greatest prominence in the st.-uggle- The territory in which the campaign is raging is not British territory and the number of men that Great Britain actually has engaged is much smaller than that of either Russia or France, yet, somehow the conviction lias forced itself Lome upon the public mind t'at Great Britain really has more at stake in this great conflict than either of her allies, and that the heaviest share of the tremendous responsibilities of the war rests upon the British psopie. This thought as expressed by one writer will meet with acquiescence from all sides \"in the final analysis the task of defeating Germany is not Russia's task, nor France's ������������������' tsk, nor Italy's task, but the task of the British people.\" . In'casting about for possible reasons why the original order of prominence of the respective allied nations in. this struggle, should have b.een thus reversed, there arc several considerations ..which present themselves! There is no doubt that German self- complacency received a heavy jolt, when Great Britain refused point blank, to countenance for a moment the proposed violation of Belgian neutrality upon the part of Germany. The Kaiser and his associates suddenly discovered that the two nations were as wide apart .a's'the poles, in their conception of the sacredness of national obligations. That treaty which the Prussians had schooled themselves to consider but a scrap of paper to 'be repudiated at will they found in the estimation of Great Britain to constitute a solemn obligation whose inviolability must be preserved as inseparably bound up with the uatior-.il honor. That Great Britain 'should .'en go the length of declaring war in defense of the principle involved in signing a treaty to -protect and to preserve Belgian neutrality, upset the nice calculations which the Germans had made, based on an elaborate espionage system, as to the probabilities of Great Britain arraying herself with the allies' against Germany. This was sufficient \"���������\"to arouse Prussian ��������� choler against Great Britain, but does not provide a sufficient explanation of the maimer in which the British people have been singled out for special hatred or why, having become one of Germany's enemies, Great Britain should step up to the most prominent position as Germany's chief opponent. The effective part played by the British army and the British navy during the first six weeks of the war, was undoubtedly very galling to the German pride/ The manner in which the British fleet, opportunely moboliz- ed for review purposes, moved quietly across the North Sea and took up its position at the two point; of egress for the German fleet, thus locking up that fleet upon which the Germans had stayed such fond hopes and the manner in which the British navy in practically unbroken silence, through .twelve-months, has held that entire Germany navy . r* helpless uz a bunch of toy ships on a mill pend must certainly have constituted a most bitter potion for the Kaisc: to swallow���������and he appears to have been a rather poor hand to take his medicine, even from childhood. Similarly, the expeditionary force which Great Britain was able to throw over into the north ot France at the beginning of the war, was of but small proportions, but it performed prodigies of valor, it lent confidence to the situation from the French and Russian viewpoint, it immensely helped to stiffen the resistance with which the usnnan advance was confronted and it played a most prominent part in keapinc thc Germans on the run in that historic retreat of General von Kluck from the very environs of the French capital. Throughout the ontire campaign on tlie wes - ern front, the ever growing British force, gathered from all parts of tlie empire has constituted the k *y to the position of the ali.es. The Kaiser has recognized the fact that a decisive defeat of tho British would turn iho scales in his favor, he has launched the very flower of the whole Prussian army against the,British, lines to compass that end���������but in vair.. Like a very Nemesis on his track, British courage, British perseverance and Eritish lighting spirit will pursue tho quarry to the end, the British forces will be in at the t'eath and British standards of honor will impress upon th'j Prussian autocracy, in terms'thai cannot be mistaken, that when Germany signs her name tc a scrap of paper, she pledges the national honor, from which once pledged, there is no turning, aside, .whatever.the cost. Tho effectiveness of the assistance which Great Britain has been able to affor'i rallies, has done much, to make tho Germans particularly vindictive in their attitude, toward the British. The principles, in defence of which Great Britain entered the war place her upon a different footing from any other nation involved. The influence which drew Russia and France into the conflict were irresistible from the standpoint of national interests, bui Great Britain was not immediately involved in those matters. Had Germany observed Belgian neutrality in accordance with her pledged word, the attitude of Great Britain would have been materially changed. In entering the war to redeem her pledged word to protect Belgian neutrality, Great Britain stands for a principle which V.- self is invincible and a principle which underlies the right of every nation to exist. The Gernian rulers could not have been conscious of the perfidy of their acts ^ancb of, the fact that tho unqualified, condemnation of all free peoples rested upon those acts as did universal commendation attend tho splendid conduct of Great Britain. To be thus humiliated before the world in the light of the marked contrast between British ��������� and German standards of honor, added fuel to the flames of German hatred of Great Britain. But behind all these incidental or secondary considerations, does there not Vie one fum'.amental fact,, namely, that* to get at Great Britain under favora.ble conditions, was the real, the ultimate object of the whole German policy of aggression. No one supposes for a moment that the conquest of Bel-, gium and-France and the humiliation of Russia would have compassed ^the\" whole plan that Germany had in mind in precipitating this war. These were necessary steps it is true, but they were but the intermediary stages in arriving at the real purpose which lay. beyond. Tlie discomfiture of Franca and Russia would have been followed by an interlude of peace of sufficient length to allow Germany to consolidate her gains, to foster her strength and to complete her preparations, for launching the great purpose of all her Herculean endeavors, namely, the pitting of German strength against that of the British empire in a merciless murderous struggle for supremacy for all time. It\"is because, the participation of Great Britain in the present war forces the hand of Germany that the pent up flood of German hate is let loose upon the British people. Tho game has got out of hand; the carefully laid plans of Prussian militarism have been thrown out of alignment; the Hell-conceived scheme of world domination by a Prussia.! Hegemony has proved abortive; Great Britain's fealty to her pledged word, her un- hestitatingly commitment of herself to the demands of national honor, has proven itself the invincible champion of national security, and of the liberties of the world. This it is which accounts for the prominent position which Great Britain occupies in this great struggle. The programme which Germany planned to carry out in two parts,s has been precipitated in one great struggle which Germany cannot hope to cope with successfully. Consequently, because of the participation of Great Britain. Germany finds herself face to face with failure after generations of elaborate preparation and the whole brunt of her frothing hatred is hurled upon the one nation above all other nations, which she had planned to humble, but which r-);a is now forever debarred from even assailing separately, namely.
