With the opening of the month of Sep-

tember the one great event looked forward to is the Provincial Exhibition. The ad-` vertisement of this year’s exhibition, which has been running in The Guardian for some days past gives some idea of the program' that has been prepared and it will be seen' at a glance that the promise is for the big-I gest exhibition in the history of the prov-' ince. I

There are many reasons why this yea; I

exhibition should be our biggest yet. First' and greatest is the fact that it is the only ' exhibition in the Maritime Provinces this season. St. John and Halifax, in previous

-years, furnished all the exhibition our New

Brunswick and Nova Scotia friends looked for. This year, the privilege denied them at home, they will come here. Second, our crops this year are among the biggest and best in our history. . Those desiring to se: I what the Garden of the Gulf can do in the matter of raising bumper crops will attend; the exhibition. Third, there will be five' days’ horse racing in which the coinpetit- ors will be the speediest horses in the Mar- itime Provinces. There have been several' interesting horse races in the province dur-I ing the present summer, just enough to whet the appetites of our horse-lovers for the biggest event of all at the Charlotte - town Exhibition.

In addition to these attractions and oth-I

ers which might be mentioned, the inan- agement has secured,a variety of enter- tainments for the amusement of spectat- ors on the grand stand, and have madeev- ery possible arrangement to make this year’s exhibition the greatest in the his- tory of the province. _

There undoubtedly/ will be -a large at-

tendance from the neighboring provinces. but the management are preparing to fur- nish accommodation ,for all who come by enlisting the co-operation of all who can provide lodging and meals during exhibi- tion week.

The exhibition is the Island’s biggest ev-

ent in any year; it is everybody’s day and everybody should look forward to it as something in the making and the success of which they can help by talking it up, by exhibiting if possible, and especially by at- tending. .

All citizens who can accommodate vis-|

itors during those days, when the hotels cannot possibly accommodate all, will be helping themselves, the city and the Exhi- bition Management, by handing in their names to Mr. C. R. Smallwood, Secretary of the Exhibition Association, ~

In reading the names of towns and vil-

lages captured by the Allies in France it is difficu t, even while closely following the map, to see the strategy and the meaning. Names of places, unfamiliar to the lay reader, follow each other in bewildering succession and the struggle appears to be a maze of, slaughter with no.deiinite strategy exceptfto' kill or capture Germans and ob- tain possession of more towns and villages..

lll OUT ‘l@SP§t0ll'€S y@SleI`<l2y the fall Oflstanding nearby slipped into it, The drunk-

Noyon and Bapaume was recorded along with a,number of others. It will be re- membered that these places were reported a week ago as about to be captured. , French military critics pointed out that Bapaunie could have been taken two days ago, but that the British prefer to man - oeuvre the Germans out of it.

The well-known writer, Col. Fabry,

shows why it is essential for the enemy to desperately defend the 'way to Douai and Cambrai. --

iThose who argue that the world is witnes -

much spec_ulation both in London and Par- is. Broadly, the military experts are div- ided into two camps. Some believe that _ Marshal Foch is strking a number of ham- nter blows with the object of weakening _thi enemy numerically, and as regards po- ,sitions and morale, preparatory to a deci- Isive blow at some absolutely vital spot. ,Others think that at present the generalis- ysinio; is endeavoring to disorganize what is |really a great German retreat or intention Ito retreat on large sectors, being-content to reap the rich fruits of this disorganiza- tion in the shape of big hauls of prisoners and material and to allow later results to guide him in a matter of more decisive ac- tion this year.

ably is of greater depth than the first one!

sing the preliminaries ‘to a decisive stroke base their belief on the fact that the Allies 'presumably are employing very consider- able forces, in the aggregate, in the pres- ent battles, that they are exploiting their gains to the utmost, and that they already are threatening vital enemy positions. They think also that it would be folly not to push to the last degree this year the immense advantage of Allied initiative, superior morale and enthusiasm for- an ‘offensive especially among the Americans.

Other considerations pointed out, apart

from weighty political reasons, are that the Germans still have many divisions in Russia and possibly may ,have still more divisions prepared for a surprise enterprise this year, on some other front. Hence, it is argued, it is not absolutely certain that a better cliancewill be offered in 1919, for the German front in the west is now more or less fairly “liquid-”

We note by our United States exchanges

that Mr. McAdoo, the Director General of Railways in that country, is oflicially in- vestigating rumors of “widespread and growing discontent on the part of the trav- sling public with the treatment accorded it by railway employes.” One exchange remarks that “some of the reported rude-» ness, impertinence and insolence may have worked its way down from high ofiicial quarters as a consequence of the govern- ment’s assumption of authority over the corporations.” '

The complaints reaching Mr. McAdoo

were that “employes are not treating the public with as much consideration and

railroads as under private control.” _

A similar complaint is frequently heard

in Canada. The man who meets with an act of discourtesy on the part of an em - ploye of any system, usually blames the system, not the-man. The truth is that thc man and not the system is at fault.

In Canada, on Government Railways, as

on company railways,' one meets with courtesy and _ discourtesy; with well-in- formed and ill-informed ofiicials. They were neither made courteous nor discourteous, neither well-informed nor ill-informed, by the systems under which they worked. Un- fortunately some men are discourteous by nature and by early training; fortunately also the majority of those who reach res- ponsible positions are naturally the other way and, on the whole, W`hi1e unquestion- ably there are exceptions, the courteous man or woman travelling over Canadian or United States railways and steamers meets with much more courtesy than the re-

A story is told of a drunken passenger who occupied a seat in a crowded car. See- _ ing a lady standing he staggeredto his» feet’ and courteously offered her his seat. Before she could get into the seat a ma'n
