MEASURING A RIVER.
How Napoleon's enalaeer Found Its Width Without Instruments.
An engineer found himself summon. ed one day into the presence of bis commander, Napoleon stood on the bank of a wide river gazing across to where the enemy bad piinted batteries, which be desired to attack with artil- lery.
“How wide is that river?” was the question put to the engineer.
“Let me get my instruments.” was the reply as he turned to go for then.
“i must Kuuew ab once,” the etoperot insisted.
The engineer went down to the level bank of the river and, standing erect, gradually bent his bend forward till the edge of his hat brim just touched
| the Hine from his eyes to the water line
nt the opposite bunk of the river, Then, keeping his head bent as if was, he wheeled a quarter turn tUl bis eyes looked ulong the bat brim and met the land at a point on the same cide of the river on which be siood, Here be
! noted a rock or tree near the point at
which hig eyes met the ground and, calling a soldier, directed rant a stake be driven near that point ss he should direct. Then, by motioning just where to drive the stake, he SBxed the puint
; at which the line from bat brim ane
eye reached the bank, ‘Tur sug to the “Your majesty, the distance from where | stund to (he stike is the width of the river.’

DOFFING THE HAT,
It Was Once a Sign of Abject Sube servience to a Superior.
We consider a man a gentleman who takes off his hat to a lady. At least the act is thought to be gentle. manly polite, The orig'n of this cus-
tom, like so many other customs common MONE so-called civilized peoples, go back to primitive times.
When ap yn was made captive his conqueror stripped him of his weapons and clothing and left him without anything he could call his own, The ea vas thus made a slave, hi k of clothing be : evie dence of ibjugation, We need only to look at the sentptures of the Assyrians to see tl truth ¢ his f And in I ah xx. 2-4, we find t} foll t nt “And the Lord said, lil 3 my servant Isaiah !

fore supertors, But in the presence
of equals only a corner of the tunte was removed so as to bare the shoulder, This baring of the shoul-
throughout the Gold Coast, is a custom as common as tuking off the hat with us. Uncloak- ing in Spain is similar in origin, In Africa the men bare their shoulders and doff their caps to superiors, thus joining two customs in one.
It must be remembered that this act of uncovering the body was cere- monial in nature and used to show reverence to a superior, Then came the use of the ceremonial to propi- tiate the dead. We can see a reme- nant of this most any time. At fun- erals and in our graveyards men tak@ off tieir hats on entering churches and before images of Christ and the Madonna.
In times of cnivatry men raised their hats to ladies to show rever- ence. But this was only superfictal in meaning. A knight would ride down a poor peasant woman carry- ing a large burden and never think of helping her—least of all would he think of taking off his hat to her, However, if he heard of some beau- tiful damsel of his own clars in the slightest danger, imaginary or real, he would go to her and, hat in hand, kneel and dedicate himself to her service,
To-day much the same thing oc- curs. Ordinarily a gay youth for- gets to take off his hat to his mother, yet he shows this deference to his “best girl.” After all it is only fou, and politeness should go deeper than this. However, the form persists, and it is of some historical interest to remember that it is a remnant of the primitive stripping of a captive by which process was expressed the fact that he yielded up all he had, Taking off the hat to a wealthy girl means occasionally not only the yielding up of all you have, but the getting of all she has. Ceremony is often nothing but a hard calculation in regard to personal results, espe- cially where self-aggrandizement {8 the ultimate aim of the polished in- dividual,

Wheat in Spain About 75 per cent, of the total land } under cultivation in Spain is given up to cereals. During the past decade the crop of cereals excceded 2,000,000 tons, The land, however, is suscept- ible of a far greater production, and in fact cnough wheat could be grown in Spain not only to exceed the con- sumption of its present population, but fora large export. There are vast tracts of arid land in the interior of the country which would be brough, under cultivation by sinking artesian wel for irrigating purposes, for water Is found in all parts of the pon- insula at a small depth. That much has been done to this respect in re- cent years is evidenced by the fact that in 1906 the import of wheat and flour into Spain amounted to about, $21,000,000 and $825,000 respectively, | and in 1908 the import of

The issue is now joined. Wither German autocracy must be crushed, or European democracy will be obliterat- ed.

France will be reduced to the status of a third-rate power.

The course 6f the German govern: ment cannot be reconciled with any theory of political sanity. Wantonly and deliberately the kaiser has pluing- ed his sword into the heart of civiliza-} tion. The whole world is.paying the penalty of his madness, neutrals as well as belligerents. Upon the Amer ican people alone, 3,000 miles from the} scene of conflict, is levied a tribue or } millions of dollars a day in disorganiz- | ed finance, and the final reckoning | that must be paid for this maniacal! onslaught of German autoeracy defies calculation, The human imarinatiion is staggered as dP faces the inevitable consenncnces of this supreme achieve- ment of paranoia.

fhe Statutes of Wills in force in Great Britain provide that wills of! soldiers in actual military service, and of sailors, are subject to special legislation, but this privilege applies only to wills of personal estate.
Wills of petty officers and seamen in the navy, and of marines, as far as relates to their pay or prize-money must be attested by an officer, and wills made by a seaman in the. mer- chant service must, if made at sea, be attested by the master or mate, and if made on land, by a superin- tendent of a mercantile marine office, a minister of religion, justice of the peace, or consular or customs officer,

CANADIAN WOMEN AND THE a
Patriotic Organizations That Have Been Formed in the Dominion
When the call to arms for the de- fence of the British empire sounds from east to west of Canada, it is not the men only who are stirred by that appeal to patriotism, loyalty and gratitude for protection in the past. The women, in their own way, re- sponded as quickly and as _ whote- heartedly,
When the South African war broke out and Canada responded nobly to the need of the mother country for men the women did their share not only by encouragement but by raising of money for the relief of the wives | and others left behind, by~ visiting | these other women and using influence in many cases to help them, and by sending medical and other supplies to the contingents in South Africa. i

Antwerp, a City Rich in History
_Antwerp, the city to which the Bet- gian royal family have removed to es- cape the German advance on Brussels, is not only one of the oldest cities in urope, but has many times played an important part in stirring history.
Antwerp appears in history as early as the seventh century. . A century later it was an important port and market town. In the twelfth century it was commercially prosperous ant under the rule of the dukes of Bur- gundy, who at times aspired not only to the throne of France but harbored designs on the crown of England. In the fifteenth century Antwerp was one of the most important marts in Hur-
the making of
ope, the entering point for English and continental trade, In the six. teenth century, under the rule of
Charles V, it was the seat of the Han- seatic League and the money depot of Europe. In 1584-5 it was besieged,
j; taken and ruined by the Duke of Alva.
In 1794 the French took the city and restored its prosperity. Napoleon the Great attempted to make {t rival Lon- con.
Antwerp, located on the Scheldt, having an outlet to the sea safeguard- ed by the British and French fleet and being strengly fortified on the Jand- ward side, is regarded as impr guable, hence its selection at this time by King Albert as a place of refuge from

to the German forces. The city’s transit and other commerce of late years has run well up over $1,000,C00 a year, It has a large industrial quar- ter and is a diamond’ centre,
The government of Antwerp {s ad- ministered by a burgomaster, assist- ed by five assessors and a municipal council of 89 members. The city's an- nual budget is about $7,000,000, !ts debt is $60,000,000, Water and gas are supplied by private corporations.
The city has sixteen daily news- papers, six in French and ten in Flem- ish. There are many notable hospitals and educational “ institutions, two theatres and noteworthy ecclesiastical and secular buildings among them the Cathedral of Notre Dame, one of the stghts of Europe, the Hote! de Ville and the museum of art, where are priceless paintings by Rubens, Wind- ers, Van Dyck, Van Eyck, Memling, Matys and others. Many “old mas- ters” among painters, notably Rubens, were natives or residents of Antwerp, long famous as an art centre,

Little people’ in the nature study class will be interested in knowing the interesting hatits of sleep which are followed by dilferent animals.
Elephants sleep standing up. When in a herd a certain number will al- ways stand watch while the others sleep, for the big, powerful beasts are timid and cautious at night and will not go to sleep unguarded.
Horses have a special arrangement about their knees enabling them to sleep on their feet, though they also sleep lying down. .
Bats sleep head downward, hang: ing by their hind claws,
Birds, with few exceptions, sleep with their heads turned tailward over the back and the beak thrust beneath the wing.

The dunting Spirit
Signs have already appeared -sigas of the hunting season, which is nerr at hand. Signs of a good season, too.
Over the hills and mountains, at about this time of year, hovers a sort of mist visible only to the sons of Nimrod. It is not inert, but strange ly beckons. By those who have the eyes to see and the gitt and grace of understanding it is called “the spirit of hunting.”
If you would smile at this fancy, re- member the story that is told of Whistler. <A tourist stood heside the famous artist in a country of lakes and mountains, One was secing the sam» sunset that the other was only looking at.
“T don't see anything in a sunset,” complained the tourist.
“But don't you wish you could?” said Whistler,
The spirit of hunting, perhaps, will some day be embodied in marble— the masterpiece af a Borglum.
The zest and exhilaration of the hunt are not to be known vicariously, by proxy. They are learned only through experience, but it doesn't take very long. After the first hunt- ing trip there is no cure for the mal- ady that reswits. Some friend of yours for example, He disappeared in- to the woods with a Remington and a camping kit, and when he came back he was a different man, His beard was shocking. He never acted the same again. Like Barkis, however, he was a willing victim; and every year when the fever comes and he takes to the hard miles and crooked trails, there is no holding him back. The best thing you can do is-to go along with youre hunter-friend, You can ecsily get your doctor to advise it.
A hunter is as old as he feels, and judged by that standard he has the ad- vantage over old Ponce de Leon, who searched long and vainly for the Foun- tain of Youth; and though the gilt of the trails and tramps-and campfires is physical health and strength one al- ways comes back with a sense thet somehow an even richer legacy has been bestowed.
Full Time Resumed 1 extile Mille she stimulating effect or present coaditions upon the Canadlin cotton industry has resulted in the resump- tion of full working time in the ten mills of the Dominion Textile Co,, Limited, During the eight months prior to the commencement ot the war in Europe the 7,000 employees of this company were working on an ull time, Since the outbreak of host ies they have been working full time and if the present demand for Canadian coffon continues, as is likely te be the case, overtime and double shifts in certain departments will be necessary.
The operation at full capacity of the ten mills of the Dominion Textile Co, Limited, will mean the placing in cir- cwat.on annually of upwards of #1),- 000,000, Most of this large amount of money Wi be spent in Cgc wages, inf Qeht and cartage oil and other factory supplies an the laany other items that enter into the cost of the finished product. Ags the ten mills of the company are scat- tered from Kingston to Haafax the benefits accruing from the circulation of the large amount of money will ve spread over a wide area

Safe Jumps of Fight or Nine Stories Haves Been Made.
At a recent Fifty-sixth street tene ment fire in New York that resulted in quore of a smoke alarm thin a blaze a man and his wife were seen to get out on the ledge of a fifth story window, The firemen told them to wait a mo ment, that there might be no need to Jump. The man cried that they were suffocating and must jump.
The firemen stretched the net and shouted for them to poise themselves properly and jump one at a time, But even while the firemen were shouting the instructions the couple kissed each other, locked arms and leaped, They came down straight and sure plummet right Into the net. They re bounded about fifteen feet and fell in the net again in a sitting posture, still embraced,
The firemen let them gently down to the sidewalk, They still sat there look. dng at each other incredulously. Then they were told there wus not even a geod fire to justify their juinp. It had all been smoke from a smouldering lot of rags and other rubbish. ‘The man and wife heard the news with expres- sions of wonder, thankfulness and con- demnation of their silliuess,
Jumps of eight rnd nine stories with- out injuries have been recorded The makeup of the Jumper is what counts. The firemen have to be prepared for al) kinds. Sometimes they have to shift a few inches quickly because of the bad judgment of distunce shown by the jumper. But in wost cases the leap to the net saves life.—New York Sun.

What! Multiply $48 by 177 without knowing the wullipteation table be- yond the “two tlines nine? Yes. If you can multiply und divide by 2 you cup get auy product in the following simple way:
Put down the two numbers side by side and form a column under each by successively dividing by 2 in the first colnmin und doubling the oumber to the second column, Disenard all re tioinders as you divide and carry both columns ii even rows until the last quotieot is 1. Then cross out every line across the three columns that bas tn even number in the first column, add what remains in the second col- umn and you have the product. In the following columns the puumbers in parentheses are the ones to be dis carded;

Clarke, B.C, a former solicitor-gen- eral of Mngland, who is retiring from the bar,
Many years ago Sir Mdward Clarke, with memories of the shorthand learned in his school days, and of his own experiences as a reporter, de- vised a system of stenography that had none of the maddening compli ations of those generally in use. He found it so useful in his own prac-
tice that he eventually revealed its secrets in a cheap book, and thereby earned the gratitude of many who, !
like Charles Dickens, had learned to their sorrow what havoc might be yorked by a misplaced dot.
Later, Sir Mdward Clarke evolved a system of rapid writing that came between shorthand and longhand. He ehristened it “Swifthand;” it looked to the uninitiated something like the Morse Code on its head, but It never decane really popular, :

Facts Make For Confidence ! The facts as to the situation in confidence, confirm cheerful business sentiment and en- courage an aggressive rather than a retrogressive business policy, first, the British empire has gone into a
ght for good cause, and with excel lent chances of victory. Second, Can- ada never before has had to face a crisis like this, It, therefore, gives an opportunity fo show that the national business steel is well tempered. Third, the Dominion not being at the actual seat of war, some benefits come as a result.
Some of the encouraging featur .s are:
1. Notable strength of the banking and financial situation in Canada, The banks were in excellent shape to cope with the situation at the outbreak of war, and the strong measures taken since then make the financial position impregnable.
2. The confidence in the national financial situation is strengthened by the fact that the Bank of England has established a depository for its gold at Ottawa with Canada’s minister of finance as trustee.
3. The Dominion’s first war loan of $50,000,000 will be raised with com- paratively little difficulty.
4, Instead of boasting of a popula: tion of 8,000,000, as in the past, there is cause for satisfaction in the fact that the population is considerably less. During the past eighteen months while the world-wide trade depression has been in evidence, many thousands left Canada, returning to Great Britain and to the United States. The ces-
dangerous ; sation of immigration {s fortunate, too,
at this time, It relieves the labor sit- uation to that extent. Again, the num- ber of men who are leaving productive
jemployment here for military service
is comparatively small; a great ad- vantage compared to the situation in Europe.
5. There will be a good demand for
the country, and good prices, too. The factories, forests, mines, fisheries and agricultural lands will continue to sup- ply their share of national revenue. Last year the value of their produe- tion was $2,509,000,000,
6. Already war has given an im- petus to several industries. Business executives recognize the prevalance of entirely new trade conditions and are studyiug these, realizing that trade obtained during war time Is likely to be retained in times of peace.
7. While trade has ceased with Ger- many, the United States and British markets are still open to Canada, and in these two markets is the Domin-
jion’s biggest trade.—Montreal Star.
Eighteen Years’ Cold Storage
It is an axiom of good cooking that beet should be well hung before be-
/ing sent to the chef, but the owners
ef a certain hind-quarter which was exhbited at Smithfield Market re- cently have surely gone to rather ex- treme lengths in this matter, for they have kept it in cold storage for eigh-
| teen years, When it was taken “off the ice,” so to speak, and looked at by experts armed with nothing more formidable than magnifying glasses, they unani- mously reported that it was still sweet and sound, and apparently lacking but little in nutritive qualities. A piece was cut off and sent to the analysts so that they might ascertain by pou taba methods exactly what chem. ca gone,
To celebrate this achievement in scientific cold storage a banquet is ta be held, at which the patriarchal joint will be accorded a place of honor, but invited guests may he relieved to know that there will be other dishes,
changes, if any, it had under-
land that they will be under no com-
pulsion to eat the whole of their help- ing of the hind-quarter,
The now famous joint was shipped in 1896, and sold to a firm of military contractors at Malta, who retained it in their cold storage there for experi- mental purposes until the govera- ment took over their warehouses some months ago, when the quarter was sent on to London,
Canada’s Productive Duty “Supposing every farmer in Canada were to enlarge his wheat production by putting five acres more under crop than he had this year, the total pre- duction of wheat in this country wowld
|be increased by fifty million bushels.
If each farmer were to sow ten acres more wheat, the increase would be doubled, Surely it should be a simple matter to get every farmer in Canada to enlarge his acreage by this smal amount, There may be a few who could not do it, but this Ick would be offset by the work of those who could easily add fifty or «a hundred acres.
“The only possible difficulty Hes in the matter of finance. Some farmers may not be able to pay for the labor required to cultivate and seed down an extra ten acres, The work of al national commission and the various be di- rected towards helping these partiqu- lar farmers, The financing of them would not be a serious problem nor an onerous undertaking. The amount of capital involved would be very small
“This is he problem which is before the Canadian people, It is the pressing
| problem, It should be considered seri-
ously and promptly, In Eastern Can- ada the Jand must be prepares and seeded within six weeks, In Western Canada the land must be prepared for seeding within the same period. There
| is no time for detay,”
The foregoing is from the Canadian Courier, [In ‘owns and cities cutliva-
| tion of allotted garden plots (in out- , side
subdivisions and vacant lots) should next spring be encouraged among families of working nen, “Back to the soil” is a slogan with real meaning,
“You should take more pains with your eating,” advised the doctor,
“More?” exclaimed the dyspeptic. “Don't 1 suffer quite enough ne-y when anything?"

Vegetables as Medicine
Spinach is rich in iron, and good for anaemic persons, though it should be avoided by those who have any tendency to liver troubles. Asparagus can scarcely be classed as a medi cine, though it is said to be good in cases of palpitation and a sedative in affections of the heart. It seems to in the present
day however,
The properties of French beans and carrots are well known, but much of the efficiency of the vegetables dae pends upon the way in which they are cooked. When they arrive in towns

KING OF BELGIUM 5 MOST DEMOCRATIC
MAN OF QUIET HABITS AND MANY ACCOMPLISHMENTS
Has Brought His Country to a Won- derful State of Prosperity Through dic Keen Insight and Executive Ability—is Beloved by All Classes.
Jtanding supremely unique among the figures who are making history in
A
era for Europe, is Albert, king of the
Belgians, newspaperman, expert en- gincer, lover of mankind and most) democratic of ali rulers. i
Nobody ever heard much of Albert | Leopold Clement Maria Meinrad be-| fore that eventful day when he sent word to his soldiers at Liege to “hold out” against the Germans massiag at Ilerbestal, The exhortation breathed such a dauntless, bombastic assurance that those who read smiled grimly and ‘a little sadly as they re-|/ flocted that tiny Belgium would prove a tidbit for the Teuton war hosts.
But Liege surprised them, and Al- bert, King of Belgium, which includes | some sizable cities and is said to en- joy more prosperity per capita than any other Muropean country, was soon riding at the head of hts army of 200,- 000 gnen. While directing his valiant men he has found time to notify his representatives in this country that the credit of Belgium is unimpaired and that all wheat shippers may send their grain to Antwerp, with the guar- antee of the government that they will | not only be paid in gold, but that all their war risks will be covered,
Europe, last haven of “the divine right of kings,” in the Occidental world, has long glared impotently at Aloert, King of Belgium, His casual democracy, his undoubted business) ability and his manner of dealing with | the Socialists os that the Socialists cursing most labor conditions, paused to praise their ruler, has worried them almost into prostration, The fact re- mains that he has brought the coun-| try to a wonderful state of prosperity and the state railroads, under his di. | rect supervision, have become a little more profitable than any in this coun try.
There are few things that this ac- complished king cannot do or hasn't done. He fights, rides, swims, shoots, and engages in aviation, engineering and writing with equal facility, He was an ordinary newspaperman for a long time, carrying a police card, vis- iting police stations and doing what would be known here as “ship news.” As a reporter, it is said, he was a “snappy” werker, who scored many beats and obtained timely pictures. Possibly his stay in America in 1898, when he little dreamed of being king, | gave him the training necessary to set a new standard for quick ne iper | work in Brussels and Antwerp.
King Albert is more than six feet in height and has a fair complexion and golden hair, He is 389 years old, is unusually devoted and has three chit dren, He is the son of the deaf Duke of Flanders, and it was the mysterious death of his brother, the Prince of Baudoin, which made his accession to the throne possible.
In 1898 he came to Ameri:a, and spent much time in New York, Wash- ington and the east, went west aud stayed for months in St. Paul, Minn. While there he studied about every conceivable industry in the country. On his return he wrote a book about America, which evidenced the fact} that this idea of an ideal governmeat wis fhe one his country had adopted.
Having been a reporter for a long time, he saw things keenly and clear- ly, and being the only reporter who he has developed a which is said to be the dread of his prosaic cabinet min- isters and his enemies, none of whom ever acquired that trait to such a considerable extent.
The king, who is a great cyclist and an extraordinaryly brave maa, went to the Congo and pierced that fever ridden country soon after his accession to the throne. The things he saw there caused him to sell all o: his possessions of Belgium in that
=
region after he had ameliorated the conditions under which the natives | lived.
The one desire of the king was t> establish a merchant marine and later a navy. After he had reviewed ine “navy” of Belgium, in the first days of his reign he ordered all of
the vessels dismantled, They were wooden hulks, and every time <hey appeared at foreign ports were tle source of vast amusement,
The queen, his consort, is a full! fledged physician, She was Llizabeth, |
daughter of the Duke Carl Theodore | of Bavaria, the famous oculist. As} the king is constantly seen about the piers of Antwerp, where he once gath. | ered news for a newspaper, convers-, ing with stevedores, so the queen evi- denees her democratic spirit by being seen working in the slums of brussels. She has established hospitals in many places in Belgium, and is head of an association of women who strive to ameliorate conditions under whieh hard working folk live.
The king is an indefatigable work- er, He rises at 6 in the morning and | rarely ever ceases work until 5 in the! afternoon. As a inechanical engineer, he has personally supervised the oper: | ations of the great state railroads, in- staling American lounging cars and} sleeping cars.
rhe simplicity in which the royal family lives is remarkable, They rarely occupy the great palace pre- live in a villa near by.} are both lovers of music and) oceupy seate in the stalls of the} Belisian opera house, rather than the) royal box, so they may be nearer the} orchestra, - |
The private life of the king:is with-! out a stain and he has long been call-; ed the “most respectable ruler.” The royal couple liave three children, two, sons and a davelhter, the latter being, a great favorite with the people. In a! country the size of Belgium the ruler} becomes a quickly known personality | to his subjects and there is hurdly a spot in Belgium with which the royal! couple is not familiar.
That is why Leon Vandarvelte, the| Socialist leader, newly appointed | minister of state in Belgium, most} democratic of all kingdoms, said to his comrades the other day: ‘

BRITISH NAVY'S VALUE TO TRADE
= Acknowledged Supremacy of Great Britain's Navy Was Potent Factor In Establishing Confidence
Public opinion in Great Britain -sj beginning to realize the enormous value of the services rendered already in the war by the British navy. The Naval and Military Record remarks on the fearful anticipations which in the few days before the war began filled all the United Kingdom that British | shipping would be ruined and sup- plies of food and raw materials cut off, “The most careful inquiry,” said th: Naval and Military Record, tend- ed to confirm this anticipation. It was | felt that we dare not—so great were | the risks—be optimistic. In the months immediately preceding the; outbreak of hostilities a sub-commit: | tee of the committe of imperial de-| fence considered in every detail the rroblem of how the people of the United Kingdom were to be fed during war time. With the most expert evid- ence at their,command, they came to the conclusions that the peril was a real one, and that the government ought to take precautionary measures in order to minimize it. One of the; first acts of Mr, Asquith’s administca: | tion, when war was inevitable, was to announce that the government it- self would take 8 per cent. of the risk which shipping would run under the war conditions which were then de- veloping. A - ar risk office was im- mediately opened and a rate of five per cent, quoted. Day by day follow: ed, and though it was known that sev eral German cruisers were — still at large, no news was received of any | loss. Gradually the confidence of ship: | owners and shippers was re-establish: | ed. Private firms showed no hesita:! tion in undertaking war risks ct a low: | er rate than the government office. | Within a few days the premium fell) from five to four guineas, and event- ually it was brought down to three guineas. Even at this figure under. | writers were prepared to undercut the government office. British shipping, which was at first disorganized by the dramatic circumstances under whic! war occurred, has since been resum- As a nation we may congratulate ourselves on the | astonishing victory which a supreme fleet won in insuring to us ample sup- plies of food and raw material wit-! out striking a blow. Never was so! remarkable a demonstration given ot} the vital importance of sea power to a people who live by and on the sea.!
The navy opened up:a pathway for|

The Louvain Tragedy
The destruction of Louvain did no- thing to aid the army of invasion. | lor Louvain wags not a stragetic point | which might be of advantage to the! armies: of the allies-if it was left in-/ tact. |
The destruction of Louvain did no- thing to weaken the army of the allies. It added strength to them; for it has) filled the Belgians and the French with an enthusiasm of wrath, and en- thusiasm of warth, adds greatly to the! fighting force of an army. |
The detsruction of Louvain did no-, thing to protect European civilization | from the Slav. On the contrary, it has aroused in the Slavs a spirit ot re-! venge, and Germans are fleeing from Berlin in fear of Russia's retaliation. |
The destruction of Louvain did no- done nothing to ald Germany to make herself a world power. By that des- truction she has aroused the indigne.-| tion of the civilized world, on indigna- tion which will outlast this terrible war, This is no: the way to secure a world power,

But sup- pose, as in the end we are confiden: they will, the German ideals of auto:! eracy and militarism and monopoly do not beat those of freedom and nation- al independence, then there will be a} great duty imposed upon vs and the states with whom we are in alliance— a very difficult duty, and one whieu the longer and harder is the fighting will be the more ditficult to uccomp lish.

To Increase Crop Area and Produce More Employment
A proposal put forward by the Re- gina board of trade for very material- ‘ly increasing the crop area cnu output in Western Canada has been very fav- crably commented on in Winnipeg's banking and tinancial circles, This pro- posal is embodied in an official. circul- ar which is being widely distributed and has for its immediate aim the calling of a meetiiig at some central point in the Canadian prairie west at Which this object shall be discussed by representatives af the Dominion and provincial governments, the bust ness and producing-interests, as well as financial ins‘ituttons and the rail- ways,
It appears the Regina board of trade has had a definite plan under consider- ation for some time past. This cir- cular points out that the world’s groat- est need in the near future must be food, that is the opportunity of (an- ada, which thus will be able to meet its obligations on the tremendous

But for the last couple of years the increase in area under crop in Western Canada has not been so great as it should be under normal conditions of imm!- gration and cultivation, At the pres ent time Canadian cities are full of unemployed thrown on their own re- sources through stoppage of railway construction, city building and the like. Thousands of these laborers farming operations before coming to Canada, At the same time it is estimated that one hundred thousand heavy horses are now stand- ing idle in Canada for a like reason. The idea then is to get these i
and horses on to the land and a rough estimate is that several million acres may vapidly be brought into crop by this means. Land values have fallen and especially some of the over-large land companies might be willing to part with some of their holdings on better terms to the farmer, The ob ject, therefore, of the proposed move- turn to good use these In such a
