The Cult oi Militarism German Psychology so Gross and Perverted Thar It Has no Paral. lei in Modern Times The Germans had for years been preaching the docirinc and thc cult of militarism and infusing lhc virus of organized brutality into Ithe minds of their people.

When you sneak directly into the telephone, a lower tone of voice can be used and your friend can hear easily. Moreover, when .you speak lower, the actnal tone qualities of your voice are transmitted. When yon speak loudly you unconsciously adopt an unnatural tone of voice, with the result that mnch of that intimacy t'uit should be associated with face-to-face talk is lost.

Does it follow she is the "best" cow? It depends somewhat on what the owner ir* after: he may look foi a large flow of milk, he may require plenty of cream, or, wisely, he may expect a substantial profit above the cost ot feed. So your cows, as a herd may average 6,000 pounds of milk and 200 pounds ot fat, but is each one earning a good profit? Cow testing, checking up of each individual, wi 1 answer tllis aud many other questions, It will also help, as it has Helped many dairymen, to add at least fifty per cent to their inceine from the same number of cows, because they keep those that are known to be efficient Your average may be 7,000 pounds but in three years you cau make it over 10,000 pounds, but it won't Unless each one is up to a good standard, Write the Dairy Commissioner, Ottawa, for milk record torms. Your letter does not need a postage stamp. Your cow that stands in the third stall may have deceived you. When she freshened last June she very likely gave about thirty-five pounds of milk a day and you thought her possibly the best cow out of the eighteen vou own But she may have dried off rather early and you have overlooked the fact in the light of her good flow in June: you remember she was 9 vis, old and a fine looking, quiet cow, easy to keep Now think of Eliza Jane, homely, 11 years old, who has never made a big record for a day or a week. But recall the fact that she stuck to the job splendidly and gave a fairly goood mess per day right through her ten months.

Our muscles arc flabby from lack of use and our nervous systems and' digestive organs arc ruined from excesses. Wc arc inoslly too fht, and our average span of life is only 40 years. Yet, despite these [facts, those discriminating men who write life insurance and have thc differentiating of good, bad and inelil- ferent "risks" down to a science, admit that they have written more life insurance upon American risks than upon the people of all thc rest of thc world put together, though the American population is only about onc- iiilcenlh of thc whole. Those are* a few of the facts revealed at the recent meeting in New York of the Association of Life Insurance Presidents.

WAS SEA POWER THAT SAVED THE ALLIED CAUSE Application of Naval Strategy lias becn PracticallyHevolutionized ���The Controlling Factor in the Whole War Proved to be thc Latent Power of Armored Squadrons An interesting review of lhc part .hat sea-power has played ill the war and references lo the lessons that naval nii'ii have learned is giv- i'ii by lhe tftwal correspondent of the New York Herald writing from London, He says that while the principles of naval strategy have been the same lor a century, their application has been so altered as lo amount alniosl to a revolution. The first anil iiinsi obvious teaching is that sea- power has completely juslilieel the confidence placed in it. The less i-pi cause. tlie cr victor- Weill catio mi lie i e' is nu old one emphasized afresh. ' s saved the Allied units of llle- lime- and of the means by which will be secured. The use ol sta-powcr is demonstrated nol only by iin- way iii which the German merchant ships we're swe-pl from lhe oceans, bul .<l*o by the manner in which the: land anil sea forces of the Allies are cooperating in three continents-, No one before the war Would have thought that, merely by the threat or Influence of the Grand Fleet away in the northern mists, great armies and all that was necessary to maintajn anil supply them could bc moved in 6trcurity all over the world. That ltssou was enforced at lhe very beginning of the war. It has heen maintained, even though an important battle has been fought without that completely decisive result in regard lo thc smashing of the enemy's fleet which wa*'hoped for. Thc controlling factor in the whole of thc war is the latent power which lies ready at hand in the armored squadrons now commanded by Admiral Bcatty. Thai is llie "sure shield" which thc C'cn- tial Powers must break down if th'ey would alter the outcome of the war. Hitherto, both by the campaign of attrition and also by the "enterprise" which was frustrated off the Jutland coast, they have failed to do it, and their more subtle and insidious methods of attacking commerce by submarines, which are having the* temporary success of most novel expedients, must also be suppressed in lime, Lessons that were supposed to have been learned in thc Russo-Japanese War have becn found tor be useless or even misleading so far as the present struggle is concerned. For instance, afler the Japanese attacks upon the Russians at Fort Arthur it was said that torpedo craft would be the real factors in future wars, and it was expected by some that these vessels inigllt bc able lo break up the Grand Fleet. I'hey have failed not only to live up to lhe predictions made by their admirers, but to rut any figure al all. Shortly before lhe war began it is saiel that the naval world was much disturbed by lhc large increase of range made by lhe torpedo anil its destructive power.

Nor has the mine been much of a factor in the struggle, and it would haver achieved much less Ihnn has been accomplished had it been employed by a nation adhering u> civilized means of warfare. German unscrup- lllousriess, however, has scored some successes with lhc mine, Neither the mine nor the submarine nor the torpedo cm decide this struggle. At best lhcy arc mere aids lo the battleship. The writer say.-,: "In tlio fields of action there is to he seen flic interdependence of the naval and military forces, The fleets of nearly all the Allies supply ships to operate with and prelect the flanks of their armies, ll was the turning of their flank by the Russian fleet which materially helped to force the Turks out of Trcbizond and other places in the Caucasus while it. was the failure of the German fleet in the Baltic lo accomplish a similar purpose" lhat enabled the Russians to maintain their hold on Riga. There is also indicated by tlie events of the power. It is the mainstay of lhe Allies enabling them to do many things, but in itself it cannot end the war as they desire it should be ended. Thc comfortable reflection that 'time and the navy will do the job for us,' which had many smpa- thizers in the late government is fatal in its tendency, toward inertia and procrastination, "Turning to the material, thc battleship maintains ils pre-eminent position in spite of every attempt to threaten its supremacy by mine and lorpedo. Care has been taken to protect it from these devices, whose power has thus been nullified. The submarine has not shown itself in any way to be morc than a weapon of attrition and not an entirely effective weapon even in that direction, If merchant ships wcrc adequately armed its success as a commerce: destroyer would bc considerably curbed. Entirely new light has been thrown upon the battle cruiser, which novel type has justified the hopes entertained in regard to it. Connected wilh this success the war value of speed has been demonstrated. This was shown quite early in the war by the achievements of the German raiders in the outer seas and again when Sturdec's bailie cruisers made their swift and silent journey to destroy von Spec's sepiadrons off the Falklands. It has also been exhibited many times in the North Sea, where and excess of speed on the part of one class of vessel ovcr another has enabled superior armaments to be brought to bear. In the Jutland fight the fast battleships of the Queen Elizabeth type gave -splendid results. Variou3 Spheres of Influence in China F'uropcan Nations Hold a Big Slice of Celestial Empire To know something of Ihr portentous possibilities of the Brilish and Russian policies in China one need only think of the vasluess of the territories which lhcy have staked out; for themselves. Russia claims as her sphere of influence outer Mongolia (1,000,1)00 square miles), SInkiang (548,000 square miles) and more ihan three-quarters of Manchuria (273,000 sepiare miles). Those total an area of 1,821.000 square miles. On the other hand, Great Britain claims Tibet (533,000 square miles) Szechucn (-18- 000 square miles), Kwaiiliing (86,- 800 square miles), and the provinces along lhc lower reaches of the Yang- tse River (about 362,000 square miles) making a tolal of 1,199,800 square miles for lhe British sphere of influence. In the south, France claims Yunnan (1*16,700 square, miles) as her sphere of interest. Before the war Germany claimed Shan-tung (55,900 square miles), whence she was scheming to expand in various directions. The chief source of misconception on lhe part of Anuuicnns concerning Far-Eastern affairs lies iu iheir ignorance of Chinese geography. Open lhe map of China, mark out the. spheres of influence established by European powers, and compare them wilh the Japanese sphere. Tlnn you will begin to wonder why it is you make so much ado about Japan's activities in China. As against England's 1,190,800 square miles, and Russia's 1,821,000 square miles, Japan's sphere of influence ronsitiug of southern Manchuria (90,000 sepiare miles) eastern inner Mongolia (50,- 000 square miles), Fu-kicn (46,000 square miles), and a porlion of Shantung (18,600 square miles), totals 204,600 square miles.���K.

Dennis, of tlie Canadian Pacific Railway Company, Predicts A Great Future for Canada, and Expects to See a Population of Fifty Million After the War Livestock Farming1 Wins The Man Who Sticks to Mixed Farming Can be Certain of Success There arc too many farmers who try to bc both in and out of livestock ���in when livestock is a paying proposition and out when it is not. Others slick strictly to grain farming, and sell thc belter part of their own or their landlord's farm in lhc form of grain, a wagon load at a time. The farmer who wins in the long run, however, is he who keeps the number of stock Jus farm can support and support we'll, and who is always "in lhe game" never trying to jump in big when thc outlook is Unusually bright and out again when things look bad. The in and oul business never pays in the long run, the one lucky strike often puts the idea into ones' head that it docs, and usually it Ihen lakes two or ihree bad strikes to take it out. Whenever crops are short and the exclusive grain farmer has little or perhaps nothing to sell, it is then that the farmer with livestock proves llis syslem of fanning 'n he ihc surest of profits, lct come what may. Even though there is little grain lo fatten the stock that is^ to bc marketed, it is marketable without being fllll-fcd, and brings in a sum of money that is not to be despiscdi True, with ratllc, the farm must have pasture land or it must bc available somewhere close, at a rental that is not exorbitant.

Japan's Shipbuilding Power Have Developed Such a Degree of Efficiency That Their Ships Compare Well With the British Japan as a shipbuilding power is making rapid progress. Mr. Naka- bashi Tokugoro, lhc greatest living authority on the mercantile history of Japan, predicts that for thc nexl three years Japan will make a delve into the needs of the Pacific and place ships on her waters equal to any that can bc built out of Great Britain. Thanks to (he demands due to the war, all ship-building yards iu Japan have done record work and effected extensions and improvements, j 'flic Mitsu Bishi Dockyard, the Kawasaki Dockyard and the Osaka Iron Works are fully equipped for building ships of any size, and each is trying hard to outrival the oilier in its appointments 1 The Japanese naval architects and the workmen in the yards are now practically independent of their west- em instructors. Formerly their duty lay essentially in copying or converting the models given by British and other foreign masters in the art of shipbuilding. . The war conditions compelled thc Japanese engineers to rely on their own resources, and for certain materials which they had formerly obtained exclusively from abroad, lhcy have had to find substitutes, and lhat in the shortest possible lime. They have: becn taught by experience that ri considerable saving could be cffcctei!. both in the quantity of materials ami thc amount of labor needed to complete particular sets of work. In fact, they have developed a degree of efficiency essentially their own. The result is that Japanese ships compare well with English-built ships, not only in cost but in workmanship as well. In thc manning anel management of ships the crucial experience of the past two years has taught lhc Japanese, owners lo economize labor without decreasing lhe efficiency of lhe men employed. Before lire war, it was common knowledge lhal a greater number of hands were required in managing a Japanese ship than would bc thc case were Britisii or other foreign sailors employed. The heavy work they hail to go llirougli has unwittingly enhanced the-.working capacity of the Japanese sailor, Now, ajnstcad of three sailors in charge of a donkey engine only one is required on most steamships. The old farmer, with Iiis seven- tccn-year-old son, entered the editor's ollice and said: "This boy of mine wauls to go into the literary business. Is there much money in it?"

Dennis, assistant to Lord Shaugh- nessy, president of the Canadian Pacific Railway company, presented some facts relating to Canada audi expressed the hope that these would "justify your organization in including us in the list of nations whose credit is gooel and with whom your neighborly and business relations should bc extended." Mr. Dennis' address, in part, follows: "Canada, as yon know, own', and occupies a larger portion of the North American continent llian is comprised in the Uniled States. "At the presenl time lhe vast area contained within lhc boundaries of the Dominion of Canada is occupied by a population of less than 8,000,000 people. Nature, however, has been very bountiful in her gifts of natural resources to lhc Dominion and the ultimate development of these natural resources will, without question, result in the growth of the north of the international boundary, within a comparatively short time, of a national neighbor whose family will comprise at least 50,000,000 people. "It Is desirable that. i should point out certain of the salient features regarding Canada's progress and opportunities for future, development, "Canada has now reached Nationhood in lhe sense of being admitted to 'senior partnership in lhe firm of Britisii Empire,' and in lhe* further sense that the name 'Canadian' is now recognized throughout lhc world as representing Iher cilizen of a virile nationality. "Conditons in Canada today are more or less affected by the worldwide war in which she is taking a part as a portion of ;hc Brilish Empire, "Canadian trade is on a round basis ami prosperous conditions exist throughout the Dominion, it is true that a considerable portion of this ..prosperity is due lo tire vast expenditures in Canada for war munitions imi war supplies art! to the enormously increased juices which ar; being realized for food products, particularly wheat and other grains grown in the western portion of the Dominion; but excluding this fictitious trade prosperity, I may point out that the business of the Dominion shows a healthy growth, as is evidenced by the following figures; Imports, 1916 $685,000,000 Exports, 1916 1,052,000,000 Bank clearings 10,557,187,917 Railway mileage 35,582 Marine tonage. *932,'l22 ���Tenth place in the world. "Canada possesses enormous undeveloped natural resources in her fisheries, timber, minerals and water- powers, and, iu lhe western provinces, has probably lhc greatest area of unoccupied good land avilable for immediate colonization existing, at least cn tlie North American continent. What she needs is increased population, particularly agricultural population, and extension of industrial dc-1 velopmcnt to utilize her vast natural resources. The. problems connected with thc increase of her population, anil the development of natural resources involve of thc re-assimilation of four or live* hundred thousand menl now cngaed i-i her army, together! with the large number of men who, ill is expected, will emigrate to Canada from lhe British army, aud also from northern Europe following the rinse ol the war. "Many different opinions exist as to the matter of immigration lo this continent afler lhe war, No one, of course, can foretell what will happen, but if we ran be-guidd by pasl occurrences, we may expect, and should prepare for a great influx of iniml- Brants, ���_��� "lu the tctl-ycar period ending in! 1914, the immigration to Canada amounted to practically 2,500,000 people, distributed as follows: From Great Britain, 1,000,000; from tlt-c ��� United States, 900,000, and .he hal-,-. ance from olhcr countries. 1 Hiring! that same period wc had ejijr greatest' era of development, a deylopmcnt, which for rapidity, probably had hot previously-been reached in any part of the habitable globe. "The great bulk of this development was made: possible by the 'investment of outside capital; that capital having been obfainfel largely from Great Britain, France and Holland. It is estimated that ill ''the re-rind 1907-191.1 Great Britain invested in Canada $1,500,000,000. Willi the opening of thc war, we were, oi course, shut off from these sources and in all probability will be unable to obtain further credit there for a long time after the close of the war, as all the nations citgngeel in this war will reepiirc llieir money at home to rehabilitate conditions and pay their debts. . li we are to bc able lo extend our industrial dcvlopmcnt, we can only look to you, as our neighbor south of ih- international boundary, to provide, the money. "As a result of existing conditions throughout the British Empire, it seems quite certain that at the close of the war we will have preferential Hade within the Empire, and, lhat being the case, Canadian goods will have a tariff preference in all markets of the British Empire, an.! it seems reasonable to suppose that we will have at least a sympathetic trade preference in the countries that have been allied with Great Britain in lhe war, which should give Canada a special opportunity for trade extension, especially in the great Empire of Russia, where, without doubt, great opportunitcs will offer themselves for trade extension." Mr. Dennis closed with an app-al to American concerns to consider whether it would not be to iheir advantage to establish branches in Canada and to invest capital hen* in order to participate in a share of this prosperity present and to come. Germany Offered Constantinople Generous With Offers at the Expense of Powers Leagued With Her A statement is made.by General Hanotaux in an article published in lhe Paris Figaro, in which he ; fts that Germany some time ag tfer- eel Russia Constantinople and the Dardanelles as the price of a separate peace. This is known in diplomatic circles in Berlin to be accurst* according to a wireless despatch. It is interesting, in the connection, lo recall Germany's different attempts to buy a separate peace with one or the other of the al'ics at the expense of other powers leagued with her. These may bc summarized thus! Germany offered Russia tie ..������_��� trlan province in Galicia. and -rrrb- sequetltly the whole of Galicia; also thc Austrian province of Buko To Italy she offered a large slice of Austrian territory in Southern Tyrol and further soulh as the price nf neutrality.

J, ' Schaefer. i.s dead. A postmortem examination showed that _ darning needle had pierced the hearl, Two years ago the animal gave 2888 1 pounds of butter, She- was thirteen Years trlil and won every prize for which she had been entered fori some years, At the present time when our every energy and effort is being put forward to increase the production of food products and make Canada more than ever before a large factor in the winning of the war, one's attention naturally turns to the food stocks available, and the waste evidenced in their handling. With no commodity is waste so apparent as it is in the handling of eggs. During the past few years special endeavor has been made to bring this matter to the attention of producers and the wholesale trade. This appeals however, is addressed more particularly to retailers, many of whom do not seem to realize the extreme perishablility of eggs. It is a common practise at this season of the year for many retailers to advertize the increasing egg supply and the rapidly falling prices, by displaying piles of eggs in their store windows. The eggs thus exposed in many cases come under the direct rays of the sun, and are subjected to a temperature behind the plate glass window of about 100 degrees. The excessive heat resulting causes serious deterioration through evaporation accompanied by loss of flavor. Further at this time of the year a large percentage of tht eggs marketed are fertilized, and as it is common knowledge tbat a temperature of 70 degrees is sufficient to start incubation, the possibility of serious deterioration wilt readily be seen. It is good business to advertise, but window displays of eggs defeat the aim of the advertiser, in the resulting deterioration of the eggs causes dissatisfaction among consumers, and so retards consumption. Eggs should be kept in the cleanest, coolest, driest place in the store, removed from misstiness, foul odors, or other sources of contami* nation, The food value of eggs, their freedom from waste, the saving of time, labor, and fuel in their preparation, and the favorable way they compare with other alticles of food, places them in an important place in the diet of our people. Now, as never before in the history of tbe Dominion; the conservation of food supplies must be one of the chief considerations, and the waste now apparent in the handling of eggs, that can be eliminated by careful and more up to-date methods, is a consideration that will appeal to every citizen who has at heart the best interests of his fellow citizens, his country, and the Empire as a whole. ��� ���an Serve Save Produce E VERY ONE CAN do something for his country Some can bear arms Some can produce food Some can make munitions Some can give money J. is the privilege of all to help. rQU CAN SERVE by Fighting���W or king- Saving���Giving This is NATIONAL SERVICE ' Are YOU doing your part ? A LL EYES turn now to ��\^ the Canadian Farmer, for he can render the Empire Special Service in this sternest year of the war. But���our farms are badly undermanned���25,000 men are needed on the land. With insufficient help, the Man on the Land fights an uphill fight to meet the pressing need for Food. CITY and TOWN can help. Municipal Councils, Churches and Schools, and other organizations, both of men and women, can render National Service by directing all available labour to the Land. Farmers themselves can exchange labour. School boys can assist. Were you raised on a farm? Can you drive a team? Can you handle fork or hoe? If you can't fight, you can produce. Spend the Summer working on the Farm. Let every man, woman and child in the Dominion who has access to Land, no matter how small the plot, make it produce Food in 1917.
