OPENING CHARLOTTETOWN HARBOR

\\’o understand an attempt will be made this week bl'

the D. G. S. Minto to open t`liurlottetown harbor. it had been intended to make this trial yesterdal' hlll 0“'i\ll-i ‘il the change in the weather and also to the fact lllfll lll£‘l’P is still tt wide and unbroken barrier at the entrance to the harbor it was decided hy the Department to postpone the vetiture t'oi‘ some days. While the winter has been. on the whole, an extraordinarily moderate one. conditions were generally favorable to ice-making and it is doubtful if ani' regularity in navigation to and from (‘harlottetown can bt* sectiretl for some time yet. The service between George- to\vn and Pit-ton has been splentlitlly performed during tht' winter. with t-xceptioiially few interruptions, and now, with Spring approaclting, thc opening ot' tiliarlottetown harbor may he looked for at an earlier date than usual. in any case the Captains oi' the steamers and the Departiiient ol Marine. through its effective agency here, ina_v be depend- ed upon to attempt the opening oi` <`l\ariotietown as soon as the coiuliiions will permit.

.-\ltliougli the loss of the Earl Grey`s service has doubt-

less liecii ft-lt. the service for the winter now closing has been very satisftit-tor_\', thanks to the excellent manaf!<‘- int-nt and good jtidgmt-iit oi” the (‘:iptaiiis of the two stcuiii- ers as well as the still good fighting qiiulitics of tin- straini- ers llicnist-l\'es.

.-\ number of excellent people in thc 1'iiiti_-il States,

fearing the outcome of the continual controv\»rs_v for anti against iieutrality, have titltlressed an appctii for the main- tenance of neutrality to the churches anti clergy of .\nieri- ca. The appeal was issued hy the Church Peace Union founded a year ago largely through the efforts of .\lr.`.-\nd- row <`arnegie_

_This iiiessage cautious pastors and congregations ii-

The sigiitws of the dot-_iiinent are both t‘atbolit: and Protestant and re- present every creed. (‘nrdiiial Gibbons of Baltimore and _-\r<~hbisliop (lit-uno" of St. Louis are the leaders. and the other nantes incltidt- bishops. university professors. and laymen generally. it is a foriiiitlable list and has the merit of showing the uiiit_v of the countr_\"s lenders in t'liristiai1ity on the question :it issue.

,\'o doubt stir-li tt mt-ssagc from sur-li ti source will lia\'e_

'i`lit» :iverage person does not readily change his con- victioiis just bt-i~:iiise he i‘et‘eivt-s an appeal to adopt tin tin- prejutlict-tl atlitutle towartls sontt-tbiii_'_; lie is deeply in- lerestetl in and that is ot` tr<>n\eiitious import. .»\s i`or thc armamt'-nt part, he coiisiders that t'roin the point oi' view of sai'i»t_v anti t-xpt-use rather than front ii religious stztiid- point.

\\'liatcver influence it may have on the attitude of the

American public towards tho l<Iui'opetin war, it is pointed out that "if nations ft-ar anti hott' one anotlier they will light whether they aiiiituilly add one or zi dozen battlcsliips to their iinvfr or at lliousnntl or it liiiiitlrctl tliousaiitl men to their army." The moral is that the Golden ilule must he mario effective in iiiternutional intercourse, and that it is the urgent duty ot' the churclies to work i`or such a de- sirable state ot` tiffairs. That, it may be atimittetl, is as dif- ficult as it is worthy. .\ powerful nation is sonietlnien in- clined to think first of its own intorcsts anti to consider the rights and :iinbitions oi' others tit'tt»r\vards.

\\‘itli rei'ei'ciict~ to the position of tho i'nitctl States

today, the l'iiion's appeal allows tltnt Aiiiericaiis are quite as lieliigeneiit in temper as other men. and states that the i-ountry's freedout front militarisni has been duc to pro- tecting otieaiis rather than to superior virtue, That, of course, is quite correct. btit the bigger niivy mt-ii come back with the answer that when wnr is on there is nation- nl danger wherever' a ship flying the coiiiit_ry"~_ flap; goes. anti for that reason many and strong worships arc very necessary.

RUSSIANS’ INCENTIVE

The success of the British anti French fleets in reduc-

ing the outer Turkish forts on the Dttrdilnells, with the pro- mise of further success along the road to Constantinople. in unquestionably one of' the most important results of the war to date. The quick influence exerted upon the world‘s wheat market hy this operation is an evidence of its far- reaclilng importance.

Napoleon ls credited with saying that the Power which

controllotl Fonsttintinoplc would control the world. But this did not apply to the Turks; and it will not upply to Russia. Thiit will give some lden of the strategic import- ance of thc city. For centuries, it has been the Russian goal. The Southern area of Russia is fertile and productivi- lud the lack of it ready outlet has always congested the domestic market in this region, particularly around thc Black Sea. Russia and Austria have evor had an cya on Constantinople sud tm eye on each other.

Tho, chgnge in the ofllclal British attitude regarding

‘STONE WW* V

since the present war turned the

seurchllght on i, that she has Pl'0ll‘¢leed wonderful- l ly in recent times and that the o'ld Russia of atrocities. harsh rule and pogroins is ua more. This opinion ie based on some sgcqugm authority. Amongst others. Str Donald Muckeilzig wamcs, our greatest authority on Russia. has been explaining tu the British public that they have no reason to be ashaiiietl to be “Skiing ln the same ranks with the subjects of the Czar. To show the friendly attitude of the Russian Emperor towards Great Britain. he states that. when a former war WHS WISIDS.

With Constantinople promised as a prize of victory.

llussla has a more important territorial gain to make, as a result of the war. than uuy other of the allied nations. From now ou, no well-informed observer will doubt that Russia is in the war to the very last. Realization of her lifelong ambition is promised her. and with it an opportun- ity to playa leading part in the new world-drama that will ensue when the place of the Turk in Europe is taken by R more progressive and energetic race.

GERMAN AMERICAN WORRIES

'l‘lie Detroit Free Press. in an article worrying itself

over the awful things that the German submarines may do to British shipping says: "lt is a significant circum- stance; that in the three most modern weapons of war thc worltl knows, the big siege gun, the airship and the under water vessel. Germany has shown herself better prepared :ind equipped than all her enemies combined."

'l‘l|e “significant circumstances" is that it isu‘t. in neith-

er of tliesothree weapons has Germany proved itself better equipped. As to big guns, there are forts still standing after seven months of attack on the Freiicli frontier, while the Allies have demolished the forts armed and defended by Germany in the Dardanelles. In airships the superiority ot the Allies has been proved beyond question. In sub- marines Britain alone greatly outranks the German in number and efficiency, but has not needed to use them in clt-:iriiig the Seven Seas of German naval and mercantile niariiie. Dur Detroit friends can subdue their fears.-Ex.

PREPARE ANYWAY

tioloiicl Tiieotlore Roosevelt and some other militants

are raising in New York State it volunteer cominantl called the Aiiiericati Legion, a movement which is expected to spread through other states, and which is designed to enlist in :i sort ot' loosely-knit volunteer organi'/.ation men bi-ttvccii the age oi' elglitccn and fifty-live wiio are physic- ally fit' and who have some natural aptitude for war under modern conditions. It is proposed at the present time that these volunteers shall be wholly self sustaining, but we may expert later on, if the niovemcnt commands public support. that the government will be pressed for grants to cover at least a portion of their expenses. The idea is that they shall bt- given target practice with liigh-power rifles. taught to march, and generally hardencti tip anti

'niutlc fit for active service. .\lr. Roosevelt and his associa-

tes are loud in their expression of hope that the l`nited States may not become involved in the war, but they find tliemselves compelled, albeit reluctantly, to ackiiowledge that Aiiiericau participation may come, aittl they are urg- ing the at-tive men of the nation to prepare iiccordiiigly. Tho inoveinent is well worth ivatching.

There are many rumors, iiiostly'tiittrue, going about

at thc Froiit. This is oue of them: A report ran lately among our ranks that the German Emperor wits captured.

The first ntlutisslon. according to xi Copenhagen dcs-

patch, that the German "blockade" is Gcrmuny's lust curil in the great war, comes when Admiral Kirchoff of the ac- tive service of the Gcrmnn navy, who writing in the llam- burg "Fremdenblutt." declares that there is 'no question that the blockade must be made extremely effective. lie admits that Germany has insufficient war materials, and that her present great aim is to bring such a feeling of uneasiness and insecurity that no human nerve can long stand the strain, and so bring directly home to the Allies the dangers that are now impending. _ '

The London Advertiser says: The enormous rush or

Britaln's youth to arms, under no compulsion but n sense of duty, ls one of the miracles of history. Never before was the university life of the country so nearly suspended. unless perhaps in the time of the Civil War between King and Parliament.
