However, after touching off a couple of pin wheels as to whether the secretary had notified the directors of some special meeting (which all of them present stated he had); whether the secretary had called some member a pinhead; and whether the secretary had or had not explained in detail some document the bank required which the president had signed cm a rainy day while holding his ^spirited team, at the secretary's request.

(To be Continued) WHY BRITAIN IS AT WAR The Causes and the Issues, in Brief , Form, From the Diplomatic Correspondence and Speeches o������. Ministers (By Sir Edward Cook) The part of the Austrian demands which Servia had felt unable to concede touched her very existence as an independent state, and witn regard to these matters she offeree to submit them to The Hague Tribunal. The fact that Austria, while receiving satisfaction on the othor points, had made the refusal of the latter points a casus belli raised suspicions of her ultimate intentions. "The real question," said the Russian foreign minister, "was Whether Austria was o crush Servia and to reduce her to the status of a vassal, or whether she was to leave Servia a free and independent state." It had been recognized from the first that the case of Servia could not be isolated. The aggression upon Servia by Austria (with the previous consent of Germany) was bound to involve other powers. ^ The German government did indeed protest to Sir Edward Grey that "the .iViil-. ;-���������*!'*���������*" ���������I "������*" $������"*������������������*���������"*������*��������� -*^������*"* ������5 r\w r* -Ossii* r*rv4-4"l������������_ Ij Ut3E3*LLUM til* lOOUO *V C*>3 l/JULO A.*-**- W"li..>v ment between Servia and Austria alone;" but everybody else knew that it could not be so, and the German government, as we shall see presently, seem to have known this also. The relations between Austria and Russia had already been strained by the Austrian annexation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Aggression by. Austria upon Servia was certain to be regarded by Russia with the utmost alarm and indignation. During the Balkan crisis thp Russian foreign minister "had made it clear to the Austrian government that war with Russia must inevitably follow an Austrian attack on Servia. It was clear that Austrian donv: .ation of Servia was as intolerable for Russia as the dependence of the Netherlands on Germany would be to Great Briain." "It must be obvious," said Sir Edward Grey in the house of commons July 27, "to any person who reflects upon the situation that the moment the dispute ceases to be one between Austria-Hungary and Servia and becomes one in which another great power is involved, it can but end in the greatest catastrophe that has ever befallen the continent of Europe at one blow; no one can say what would be the limit of the issues that might be raised by such a conflict." War between Russia and Austria, in a cause wherein Germany had supported the latter must involve Garmany as her ally, and France would be drawn in as the ally of Russia. The action of Austria and Germany in the case of Servia was thus likely to challenge a European war. England and France and Russia saw this. Italy the aily of Austria and Germany,- saw ic also. CHAPTER IV- Seizing an Opportunity Hugh stirred his tea thoughtfully, and it was a moment or two before he replied. "I think I saw that car in coming here," he remarked then; "in fact, the bread and cheese eating negro was the tramp I had my skirmish with." "Really," exclaimed'Delia looking at him sharply. "Strange!" But Mr. Hetherington had been thinking of something else. If you did, you can give it me, if you are goinc back with us. Thea my secretary can apply for a refund from the railway." "Good gracious, papa!" cried Delia impatiently. "Why not, my dear?"<said her father, mildly surprised; "there is no need to make presents to the railway company, is there? It can go towards the motor up-kecp account." "Yes, indeed," said Hugh, handing over his" return ticket. "The secret of success," said Hetherington sententiously, "lies in never neglecting trifles. Remember, that, Hugh, and never neglect any opportunity that comes your way, however his plan might be efficacious,-Sir Bfi������ ward Grey on July 26 formaliv^inViteffi the governments of France/Germany and Italy to Instruct their severe' ambassadors to confer with him. ."for the purpose of discovering an issue which would prevent complications." The invitation was accepted by France and Italy. The German foreign secretary "could not fall in with the suggestion, desirous though he/was to co-operate for the maintenance of peace" (July 27)' ��������� Sir Edward Grey thereupon saw the German ambassador {July 27) and promised "as long as Germany would work to keep the peace I would keep closely in touch. I repeated that after the Servian reply it was at Vienna that some moderation must be urged." Ou the following day (July 28) Austrian- Hungary declared war on Servia. , As the German government was understood to have accepted yin principle," the idea of mediation by the four powers between Austria and Russia, it was proposed "that the German secretary of state should suggest the lines on which this principle should be applied." The German government made no suggestion of the kind. Sir Edward Grey's scheme had temporarily been in abeyance, a~s?the Russian government\ha& offered to discuss matters with the Austrian government direct. This offer - was declined by Austria (July 28). Sir .Edward Grey next appealed to the German chancellor. "If he can induce Austria to satisfy Russia and to abstain from going so far as to come into collision with her, we shall all join in deep, gratitude'to "his excellency Bfor having saved the peace of Europe'* (July 29). The Italian government had simultaneously appealed to -Germany in a like sense. , On. that same day the German gbv������ ernment made certain proposals to Great Britain to which we shall come presently and which the prime minister afterwards characterised as "infamous." But so persistent was the British government in pursuit of peace that Sir Edward Grey In declining the proposals used language of great restraint (July 30), and accompanied his refusal by yet another "most earnest"'appeal to the German chancellor": "The one way-of maintaining the good relations between England and Germany is that they should continue to work together to preserve the peace of Europe; if we succeed in-this object, the mutual relations of Germany and England will, I believe, ��������� be ipso facto improved and strengthened; For' that object his majesty's government will work in that way���������wit!i'^Usincer- If the peace of.

Do you know, uncle, there are times when I could thank God that there is not a drop of your blood In my veins?" "Good thing for you if you had," returned Mr. Hetherington with undisturbed good-humor, for he was in fact as absolutely good-tempered as he was perfectly selfish and callous, though his good temper was liable to bo broken by fits of extreme rage.

But since, as we shall see, this dispute was bound to have ulterior consequences, it is necessary to understand whaUthe dispute was about. aeraia is a small, but very .anclest, kingdom in the Balkan peninsula. It obtained considerable accesion of territory as the result of the recent wars in the Balkans, the wja.r between the Balkan States and Turkey, and then the war among the Balkan States themselves. The Servian people are akin, in race and religion, to the Slavs, of which race Russia is the predominant poWer, and to which race also many of the subjects of Austria-Hungary belong. On June 28, 1914, "the crime at Sei'ajevo" was committed, namely, the murder of the heir-apparent to the throne of Austria-Hungary and his consort in the capital of Bosnia. That province, once a part of the ancient "Servian kingdom,, had fallen into the possession of the Turks; the administration of it had been given to Austria, by the Berlin Treaty after the Russo-Turkish war, in 1878; and in 1908 Austria had annexed it. The Austrian government alleged (but has not proved) that the crime of Serajevo was a culminating point in r. "subversive movement" organized by the Servian government "with the object of detaching a part of' the territories of Austria-Hungary from the Monarchy." On July 23 the Austrian government addressed an ultimatum to Servia. Austria had been "loft a perfectly free hand" by Germany. It was admitted by Sir Edward Grey that "one naturally sympathized with many of tho requirements of the ultimatum," and that "the murder cf tho Arch- It was a reflection of the first of political philosophers that disturbances in States, though they may arise on trifling occasions, do not involve trifling issues. The present world-wide war started from the case of Servia, but involved even from the start, much larger issues.

"As far Germany," said the German ambassador at Vienna to the British, "she knew very well what she was about in backing up Austria-Hungary-in this matter." Foreseeing all this, Sir ^Edward Grey, whose efforts during the recent Balkan wars had won :or him the title of the -Peacemaker of Europe, was early in the field with proposal.: for averting war, and the British government "persisted to the very last moment of the last hour in that great and beneficient but unhappily frustrated purpose" (Mr. Asquith). Already on July 20,,having received an inkling of what was on foot, Sir Edward Grey spoke to the German ambassador of the importance, if the peace of Europe was to be preserved, of Austria "keeping her demand within reasonable limits." The suggestion was not adopted. The German foreign secretary "considered it inadvisable that the Austro-Huugarlan government should be approached by the German government on the matter" (July 22). The Austrian ultimatum, which the same minister "admitted that the Servian government could not swallow," was despatched on the following day. On July 23, having heard from tho Austrian ambassador an outline of what the Austrian note contained', Sir Edward Grey pressed upon him, as also'upon the uerman government, tho doBirablllty of persuading the Aus Hugh stnrted slightly, tho words I duke and Home of tho clrcumfitanpos jumped so aptly with his own thoughta "I don't think 1 ever saw a car driven by n nigger before," he remarked; "niggei'H aro seldom much good with machinery."

But thero wero two features in the Austrian ultimatum which caused alarm and rogrot to those who desired to see tho peace of Europen mulntalnod. Tho first was the inclusion of a time-limit, so short (forty-eight hourfl) as to loavo diplomacy llttlo timo to avert, war. Tho second was that what Austria domandod within 48 hours was not a reply but the reply dictated by Austria. "I had novor before seen," said Sir Edward, "one state address to anothor independent state :> docunmnt ol so formidable a character." Tho Gorman foreign secretary "admitted that tho Servian government could not swallow certain of tho AiiMlro-IIungarlan demands." Sir Edward Grey aaviaod Servia to go to the furthest poonlblo point In mooting those demands, and similar advice was given to her by France and Russia, ThQ Servian KOYOrnmont replied, within tho-appointed tliue, conceding tho greater part of tho Austrian 'sdc* maiubi.

Germany could be a party/by which she could be assured that no aggressive or hostile policy would be pursued against her ��������� or her allies by France, Russia and ourselves, jointly or separately." ' Oh the following day (July: 31) Sir Edward Grey gave proof of his sia= cerity ahd made a further effort for peace. "I .said to German ambassador this morning that if Germany could get any reasonable proposal put tor- many and Austria were striving" to preserve European peace, arid that Russia and France would be unreasonable if they rejected it, I would support it at St. Petersburg and Paris, and go the length of saying that if Russia and ' France would not accept.it his majesty's government would have nothing more to do witji the consequences." In ~ order not to leave this promise in the region of generalities, . Sir Edward - Grey threw out a particular sugges-' tion. "The stumbling-block hitherto has been Austrian mistrust of Servian assurances, and Russian mistrust of Austrian intentions with regard to the independence and integrity of Servia." If Germany would sound Vienna, Sir Edward would sound St. Petersburg whether, it would be-poa-., sible for the four disinterested powers to offer to-Austria to undertana to see that she obtained full satisfaction for her demands oh Servia .provided they did not impair Servian sovereignty and the integrity of "Servian territory. That Russia was ready to accept such a solution is clear from a peace-formula��������� which her-government had drawn up in concert with Sir Edward Grey. Everything turned on Germany. On that day she sent an ultimatum to ItuBsln; / in tho early morning of August 1 (.'...'{0 a.m.) the King of.England and his ministers made a last attempt to secure peace.

Consider the following paragraph, taken from an account of a bear hunt: "While putting the dogs into the brush at the bottom of a gulch, something attracted my attention up the mountain side on the rocks. I looked up and beheld a fine little brown bear to my shoulder and fired, but an instant late, for just as I pulled the trigger he dropped out of sight behind the rocks. The dogs saw him, however f*' s*_1 the chase v^a*2 rvn. Ivir. Bear turned into the brush and down th������ gulch he came, with both dogs close at his heels. Close to the Rancher they crashed through the thick undergrowth���������so thick that it was difficult to. determine which was bear and which .was dog. The Rancher got in several shots, but with no effect.T5own the mountain we ran, dogs and bear courage the dogs and in the hope of scaring the bear up a tree. Breathless and weary, we finally got to the dogs, who were lying down under a tree, 'all in' and no bear in sight. His pace had been too hot for our unhardened pups and he imd escaped." (Now hear the conclusion of the matter). "It was the Rancher's first bear and he was much disappointed not to get him. We were all agreed thai it \v<*s> the best sport that we had had in a long time, hence were pretty well' satisfied." It was "the Rancher's first bear," even though it^escaped.

In the absence of a town council or any other munioipal machinery it looks to us as if the board is about the most necessary institution in a community like the Creston Valley.

I think a few remarks on the preparation of the soil will not be out of place here, so we will make this our starting point. As you are all aware the bench lands of clay or loam in this district are admirably suited to. the growth of the apple, and need but little preparation for a start to be made. Of course, if at command, a situation with a foundation of clover sod ploughed under is what we may say a near approach to the ideal, still this is not absolutely necessary and raw land enriched in the immediate neighborhood of the young tree, with a dressing of rotten barnyard manure, will suffice for the first year or so. I -mention this as many get thrown back quite a time waiting for a crop of clover to turn under; should your seeding fail a year is wasted and it is quite possible this may happen two years in succession. If, howevor.your trees are planted and have asendoff with barnyard manure you are consequently that much ahead and the clover which, of course, is sown as soon as the trees aro set out. will serve for food in the near future. Get your land staked out then, and then spread two or three spadoufull of manure on the site of each tree. Then, take out your grit, taking care to keep tho top nplt jwd the manure on onn nldo. Well break up the bottom spit and any that It iu necessary to remove in order to get the hole deep enough to accomodate tho roota throw broadcast over tho land. Then Introduce Into the bottom of the hole a portion of tho soil first removed with which, of coui-ka, tlio mannro will lx������ fn^oT7Virf,t/- imI ; fix your setting board and place your tsvo in portion.

Far from it. Too much care accidental hurts will be caused in plenty. So much then for trees which have arrived in good condition. Unhappily this is not always the case. Of times trees from a distance get badly dried out in transit, or if packed in too great bulk and too moist, may heat and start into growth or not as the case may be. if the former be the case and they are not hopelessly shrivelled the best thing to do is to bury them tops and all in a trench in a moist peice of ground for a week, by which time they wvrrill Vvj> ���������������������-������i������'a-ft������:8 fry*, iiocta TnAf*V%faxxJ&*u ���������ft-.ltA'S'n* v������iA& ej-v -,xs %Ai^axa -vf ******-**��������� ^wvVy Viiow V.SLS-.'usa. freshness, and very often they will start away into growth but little the worse for the trial- Should, however, heating have oc- cureti utiu the grow tli started' do not expose at once to bright sunshine, but heavily shade for a few days and gradually bring them to the full glare of day. The best time of year to plant, if possible, is in the fall, say in late October or early.November, as there is considerable root action before winter sets in and the trees are ready w start into growth without check at the advent of spring. Providing fall planting is hot feasible let it be done as soon aftflr the front- is Ol^t- of the ground as possible. The best type of tree to plant is that generally known as "maiden" or yearling. Two-year olds are very good and give splendid results, but I warn the novice on planting older than this unless he can satisfy himself they have been previously transplanted. A three year old, which had been transplanted at one year of age, will shift with absolute safety, but a three-year old taken from the nursery row is a different thing. The tree being planted, we have to decide on what its ultimate shape is to be and for all general purposes that with a central leader from which the main branches radiate will be found tho best and easiest type to manage. Some of the young trees if grown strongly in the nursery will be found to have lateral growths of oufticient strength to retain for the first tier of branches, and the three most promising of-these Bhould be kept. These and the leader aro all we require the first year and the rest should be cut clear away. Wo do not need to study formation of fruit buds at this period but to concentrate tho whole energy of tho tree in the foundation wo are laying. Under ordinary circumstances I do not advise taking out the first branches nearer than two foot to the ground. In many cases this for permanent branches will be found too low, and semi-pendant varieties when a few years old will havo to have these cut away for whon weighted with fruit they will touch tho ground.

As a rule we shall find three or four growths starting away on the leader and a lesser number on the laterals. Now, at this early stage of tiie tree's life we only want the leader to extend by itself and the laterals likewise, that is to say, we do not want more than four growths on the tree during its first year. With the finger and thumb then, or a sharp knife remove any surplus shoots and thus throw the whole energy of the tres into the four primary branches. Correct any error caused through the agency of insets or accident by shortening back to the next most desirable bud."' In the case oi those ttewo pi&uteu which have but a single shaa.ti _a������ratas. the laterals we must try to keep it in the first tier of branches frpsn amongst those now starting into growth. First we take out leading shoots and lot that extend. The two shoots and sometimes more below this are starting at too acute an angle to maintain a heavy load of fruit in later years so these are carefully removed and by so doing we throw their str-ength into those of a more desirable nature immediately below and the leader above. This detail is worth observing as if these robbing shoots are allowed to have full sway the others below will often but barely start the first season. This then, so far as training goes, is all that is required the first year. Of course, cultivation must be attended to and insects and other pests fought, but these do not come within the scope of my paper. Supposing the season to be propitious the first year, should have given us anything up to three feet or perhaps a trifle more of new growib according to the variety. By our treatment last season we have nothing superflous saving the length of the Bhoots and these we must shorten as each individual needs. One thing to bear in mind is that as a rule the weaker the growth the harder the cutting needed and vice versa. Shoots then of three feet in length may be shortened book a third and weaker ones to a greater proportionate extent. I may here remark, though, that sometimes tho coao arises as, for instance, whon a tree has made only a few Indies of growth but such growth has ripened thoroughly that no shortening should bo practised, as tho terminal bud is the fittest to atari away and will f������l.ve by for the bssfc results. Those shoots whioh aro short* oncd should as at last years pruning bo cut to a bud pointing in tho direction the shoot )s required to toko.

Don't fall into the error that you must shorten back every bit of Bpray growth.

The following are extracts from the letter: I am writing this by the roadside, so excuse writing. We've had the hell of a time. All by ourselves���������the English against a force of Germans five times aB big; Our��������� troops have been wonder-; ful. Beat to the world .tired and hungry, they have fought grandly, but they are well worn now.

I hope I shall pickup the others today. - Z hear Our navy has done well, and also Russia. We've fought rear-guard actions now for a week, and I don't think any troops in the world could have done it except us and, perhaps, the Japanese. The infantry are too pitiable for words in some cases, but they stagger on, and never once have I met a straggler laboring on but he. has had his rie still and forced a sniile whether wounded; or not. I am so dreadfully, sorry for the inhabitants. Thei- villages set on fire by shells, and they running about with their few precious things not knowing where to go. Truly-war is a most awful thing.

Two wounded Highlanders, who have reached Glasgow from the Moas fighting line, declare that the German infantry could not shoot "for nuts." It was the shrapnel and lyddite shells that did the damage. The accuracy of the enemy's artillery was -marvellous, bvi the aeroplanes first of all flew at a great height over the Allies' en- trenchmehts and hurried back with information regarding the range. We of the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders took up a position facing a -wood where the Germans were in strong force. As they emerged our boys met them with a raking rifle fire, which mowed them down. On they came again and again rwith the isanae devastating result. Their bullets came whistling around us, but we were indifferent, the markmahship being very poor. ' The German infantry carry their rifles under their arms, the butts resting on their hips, and they fird as they march. As the enemy poured out en masse into the open it was like the exodus from the Celtic and Rangers Scottish Cup final! Man, if they were only three to one we could go through them - easily, but when it comes to 10 to one Strategy as well as bravery has to be considered. A favorite- position . for the enemy to take up is behind massed stooks of grain, where they are unseen. At night time they advance to new points of attack, and r.3 soon as daylight breaks, their fusillade of heavy firing is"'renewed';-.' Many of the Germans, when captured, present a pitiful spectacle, and frequently drop on their knees beseeching mercy. The British regiments, as they pass through the French and Belgian towns are everywhere received with marked hospitality, little' children even rushing forward to kiss the hands of the soldiers.���������' Sir Robert Edgecumbe, of Newquay, has -received a letter from.

As a result of the removal of the American tariff on cattle a heavy export trade developed to the south. In some districts in Eastern Canada, nearly everything has been shipped out of the country,, except dairy cows. This export trade, together with many farmers selling their calves for veal, can have but one result in Canada, viz.: a greater scarcity of meat than at present exists> even in a ''normal market.;;"'- The meat industry in Canada should not be allowed to dwindle���������rather, the production of hogs, sheep and cattle on Canadian farms; should be greatly increased. To obtain this increase does not mean that farmers should devote their whole attention to live stock; The majority of farmers will admit, that with very littla extra effort and expense they could increase by several head the live stock on their farms without in any way inter-- fering with their present system of farming. \ Prom reports to the'Commission of conservation, present conditions indicate a world-wide scarcity of live stock, with little likelihood of an over-crowded market for many years to come. The opportunity for Canadian farmers is, therefore, apparent. To is*-** ���������a***-;.������ a ������������&'B*.'s?iaT a^ f?fi*iB'wscs m������ ������ w^ UELUilEU KEtsMUJiFIt! IHE WAK IN IGNORANCE OF TRUE STATE OF AFFAIRS Through the Censorship of the German Press as well as Misrepresentation on the Part of German Officialdom, the People of Germany are Kept in the Dark From time to time we read, extracts from the German newspapers, as well as wireless despatches from that country,, showing .how the German people are kept in complete ienorance of the true condition of affairs regarding the progress of the war. It would appear that even the educated and best in^ formed of the more intelligent class cf the German people have been deceived by the Kaiser, and the military party, by misrepresentations of the official correspondence between the. nations previous to the declaration of war. The German people are evidently led to believe that Great Britain was responsible for the war, and that since the commencement of hostilities German arms have been invariably successful against the allied troops. They, even appear to have supreme confidence in their'navy, and'entertain the delusion that the British navy will he vanquished by their own fleet. Through the censorship of news by the authorities in Germany, and by take advantage of this, farmers should *L!^L���������?������ +^preadin# - false re?1������.rt? save their heifer calves to produce more cattle, while the other's may be turned off. not as veal but as beef. Expert stockmen advise that there are good times ahead for those raising sheep. The high price of mutton and of wool and the comparative ease with which ������ flock of sheep may be sustained upon land which is otherwise unsuitable for agriculture, should suggest a great increase in the number of sheep raised by Canadian farm- ersi ��������� '.;������������������>��������������������������� "**" ,;��������� Increased production in hogs can be brought about more quickly than in any other class of live stock, and consequently should receive immediate attention. Animal production on the farm is desirable because it increases the fertility and crop-raising ability of the soil. Good prices are sure to be ob? tained for any surplus which farmers will have to sell on account of the inevitable shortage of supply resulting from war conditions in Europe. These two conditions shouldbe an incentive to Canadian farmers to increase their 4iye stock production. A little foresight now, with modern methods of fee<Kng, will make increased production easily possible.���������jb-.CN.

The order provides that any cabinet minister, delegated tor the purpose, may assume control of any telegraph or telephone company, and use Its lines for his majesty's service. It is further provided that the minister may direct that all messages be submitted to censorship, whethsr by telegraph or telephone, going out of Canada shall go through certain named offices only. * Any director or officer of a company contravening the Instructions of the minister is liable to a penalty cf $5,000 or flVo years' imprisonment.

"The Bravest of the Brave" The Victoria Cross, the supremist British reward for valor of whic'J, many will doubcless be won "during the present campaign, is the youngest of such decorations, only dating back to the Crimean War in 1856. It is the most valued possession ifh many a home in Britain today. The Austrian Cross, on the other hand, is the oldest. . A similar reward in Germany is the Iron Cross, instituted by the Emperor Frederick William III. of Prussia in the year 1813. Russia gives as a decoration to its heroic soldiers the Cross of St. George, which was founded by the famous Empress Catherine II. in the year 1769, and, while the Victoria Cr'or.3 is of bronze, and the Iron Cross as its name implies, of iron (which i. edged with silver), the Russian Ordar is of gold, with a beautiful medallion of St. George, killing the dragon. In Austria, again, the cross is cf gold, and was'Instituted in tho year 1.757 by the Empress Mario Theresa soon ' after her accession to . the Throne. It hears tho name inscription as tho ��������� British Victoria Cross, ours having In English "For Valor," and theirs in Latin tho word "For titudinl."

Letters are now being received In Canada mailed from points in the-United States, and no doubt written by agents... of Germany, which contain statements bearing on the cause and progress of the war, calculated to arouse ah Anti-British feeling. These letters in most cases ,are being sent to the proper authorities, so''that this plan of campaign may be exposed. ;; As Showing the manner in which the. German people are kept in the dark as to the true conditions of affairs in respect to the war situation, the following letter, written by a Berlin newspaper owner to a friend in England, is illuminating: - ''Never in mv life I should have ventured to "think that Great Britain should ^ver declare war on Germany, the nation to which the British had the closest affinity, there being thousands and thousands of friendly and amicable relations between the' inhabitants of the two countries. The of- char-ged between the three sovereigns has proved beyond any doubt that Germany up to the last moment has ex-' tended her sincere desire to preserve the peace. True, its situation between two enemies who'were at all times jealous of her development has forced her to keep vigilant watch and to prepare for a fight should it be provoked" Dy Bci ueigliuuio. ivon iub \v������t Utta. come, abrupty'and unexpectedly and since 'it has come without any intelligent reason, merely because the. Russians believed the time ripe for th* ^crushing of their civilized neighbor, the whole Germam-nation has,- risen, as one man, to fight for our. independence and our standing in the rank of the great powers. There are no more parties in our empire; the Social- democrats have, just as well as the Alsaclans and Polish in our boundaries, unanimously voted for the enormous sums deemed necessary,; each a,nd every one has taken up the armss and now there are millions of good soidiers at our frontiers, eager to face the enemy wherever he may appear. The Russians, whose millions of soldiers were expected to flood oyer our eastern provinces, have cowardly fled wherever they met only a handful of German ano. Austrian soldiers, and it is safe to.predict that our troops will continue to chase them as far as wa choose, and whatever thero exists of the Russian fleet will soon be doomed, or, if considered fit for the purpose, r rry the German flag. And the French? We have permitted them to enter into Alsace, just as we allowed the Russians to pass over our frontier for a couple of miles���������for the simple reason that the fact be established that they, not the Germans, were the ' aggressors in t*il3 disastrous international war. But in the meantime, we have proven that German valiance and courage is the same as 1870, and tho Belgians, who have been badly advised that their country should be neutralized towards Germany, but open to British and French.manoeuvres, have been shamefully deserte*' by their advisers and are now the first to feel ths weight -of German strategy. Liege, tho strongest fortress built by French engineers, has been conquered by ordinary field troops at one assault, its c:.*ong forts have been reduced to cinders by our heavy guns, Brussels has been occupied and soon .thelast cor1- aef of ."���������..Belgium'., will bs in German possessldh, after which our invasion into France will be taken ��������� r up with force with which even the combined French and Brtish armies cannot rival. ��������� . ""������������������'���������.. "It is a pity that it has come so far, and the British people should, erg it is too late, consider what is at stake.

Canning Factories Will Employ More Canadian Help Industrial conditions in Canada at this time will result in the employment of many more Canadians than usual in the canning factories of tho Dominion. In previous seasons many canning factories, finding difficulty In obtaining sufficient local help, accused assistance from the larger labor market of the .United States. It is estimated that several thousand employees of Canadian canning factories during previous seasons woro not pex������������ manent residents of this country. In view of the unemployment in some Industries at this time the canning factories will be able to secure in Canada most, if not all, the help they require this season. Thus many Canadians who would otlferwlse be out of employment will have, the work In the canning factories that In previous years was given to parties who wore resident in Canada only during tho canning season. The policy of tho loading canning companies has been to employ local help as far as possible-. Another condition that will tend to lncreaoo tho number of Canadians employed In tho canning industry In this country Is the curtailment of imports of canned vegetables from Franco anil Belgium. Tho imports of canned vegetables from thoso countries into Canada during tho fiscal year ondlnir March 31, 1014, amounted to 01G4.1K1 and $124,4*38, veapectivoly���������u total ot almost $1100,000. Tho curtallmont of those Imports will incronso tho demand for the products of Canadian canning factories.
