In thé~]`.'i`ast_qi1er- ulous statements have been madeto the effect that Canada has no .part'in_~.foiiei_g‘n politics, no voice in the terms-of -war find peace. “Call us to your councils!" cried Sir Wilfrid Laurier, long before the war, in the beli-ef that such a call would never be heard. Conditions have changed. The Prime Minister has heeded the call -to re- present the peculiar interests of Canada.. and what man of sensecan complain? »'

If there is any one who calls such a visit

a vacation' or a pleasure. trip he has peculiar notions, Ten days on the North Atlantic in a life belt, the burden of -a restricted life in food, in light, in comfort, the stress .of hours upon hours of conference, and argu- ment-is this -_a Cook’s Tour? Three days’ fishing in Algonquin Park is paradise in comparison. _ _ - `

In some respects political criticism in

Canada has always been of small-peanut size. In 1896 one' whole province was roused against the Federal_Govei'nment because it had spent-$1,000,000 in arming the Canadian militia. 'In 1911 five coun-

ties were chan_ged'because a 'politician used publicly-owne paint to decorate his house --at an extreme cost of $25. It was im-

ly a nationalissue. In every general elec- tion since 1891 some-penurious s irithas called Heaven to witness that a (`i)anadian Cabinet Minister traveled\ in a- private car. Today his penurious successors complain of the expense of sending Sir Robert' Borden to England. It is small business. Canada is spending a million dollars a day oversea and taking a new position in the confeder- acy of Free British Nations.

But it is said that the questions at homie

demand the attention of the Prime Minis- ter. Theyhave it. _ For nine.months'i~n» the year Sir Robert keeps in touch with the Canada oversea by cable. He is in touch now with the Greater Canada in thesame- way. Not one question has arisen which has necessitated a change of policy. The Union Government is pledged to.give first thought to the needs of the Army. That is being done. What more could Sir Rob- ert have done than his colleagues, working under his direction and inspiration? ’

We believe that this parish-cry “come

home_” is not sincere. It comes alike from Laurier “organs” of opinion, from dis - gruntled, extreme _ partizans, and _from newspapers which give the Administration a grudging support. Old impulses are too strong. The opportunity for growling is seized upon with enthusiasm. One thinks' of the Canadian politician of a few years ago who was attacked and defeated in a constituency because he wore a silk hat.

VVA I{NI_NG TO STRIKERS

The message of the Woolwich workers

to the munitions workers at Coventry

when the latter invited them to join them in a strike shows_the true British spirit. Every man who threatens to strike at a time like the present should be backed up into a corner and have this message read to him firmly and demonstratively. Here itis as agreed _upon at a meeting of the workers: _ “Strike now and you will earn the bless- ings _of the Kaiser and his army of murder- ers, But you will earn the lasting condem- nation of all those who are fighting and working in the Allied nations to gain real freedom]fo'r civilization.

‘fWe warn' you seriously if you persist in

striking that this Government owes to your brave brothers who 'are fighting the Ger _ mans with their life’s blood, while you are fighting with words- and-full bellies, that you__be immediately put in the front of the

line and that your leaders shgiild. s o . - ‘ - <~ I1?

For it was during the great events

or Augusv,,ppg¢,,sepiember. 1914, nm Marshal 'Joffre realized what a valu- able second Foch was to be to hlm. in nie monin of August; 1914, ne'

commanded 'the 20th corps in Lor- raine. 'l-I_e__dlsplayed such quallflca- .ians that three moni‘is lafer.,he--was ,ivan the command of an army.

'

Outquenea the Enemy

It ls _essential to sf,e,f.s the part

which Foch played before, and during thfsbatfle. As usual his arrival upon this new front on October 4 marked

fre return of confidence. There could

then he no looking baok, doubting oi:eself,`or doubting one's troops. We examined with hlm 'the whole battle front in the morning of October 4, and I still recall thatbrlef command which hc dictated ln the _}_{up"_d’Auhlgny_ noar Arran, to a Staff officer: _

"It ls absolutely forbldden,to_ eb-.

aiztlon a position, no matter what the situation may be, before being elected by a regular attack of the enemy."

And signing this. order himself on _

the offlcer’s note book, in -the pres- ence of the Commander of the army, Foch made ii gesture which, for those that knew hlm well, meant that such an order would not be repeated.

The morning-. of October 4-, had suf-

flccd him to instlll into everyone, great and small, hls'conf'ldenoe and energy; "

The_10th French Army was, by 'suc-

cessive reinforcements, going to from north of Arras. .
