Probably never before in the h1St01`y Of
the province have our roads been as con; tinuously travelled as during the. Pfesen summer, both by teams and by automo- biles _and certainly never before has com- mendation of the condition of the roads been so -
freely expressed From autoists ly we learn that the roads, practi- ithounexception are sinooth,_ well. free from ruts and otherwise in ex-
cellent shape. Even the voice of the chro- nic groucher who finds the road a conve- nient cause of complaint against the go- vernment, is unheard amid the general ac- claim about the .good roads._._
This is creditable _andas it ought to be.
The cost of maintaining the roads in go_od condition is very small in comparison with the 'cost to the country generally of bad roads. _ _
The present favourable _condition of
the roads may safely be attributed to the few sections here and there whose leading residents prided themselves on making and maintaining good roads. The_good ex- ample was followed by other sections with the result that today practically every sec- tion in the province has a road of which it is justly proud, and as nothing succeeds like success we may lookforward to a con- tinuously increasing betterment and to the time when we shall be as proud of our roads as we are of our well tilled and pic- turesque farms.
Within the next few weeks we shall
have many tourists from other parts, many of them bringing their autos, 'others hiring our autos or teams. To these our roads will _ be an indication of the progressiveness or otherwise of our province for every coun- try is very largely judged by its roads. We may have fine buildings, well cultivated farms and beautiful stretches of country -and we have these-but unless our roads are such as will reduce the cost of trans- -portation to the minimum and make travel comfortable we shall be classed, and very properly, as behind the times.
While our roads generally are _a credit
to us there is still room for improvement, In many places the roads are still too nar- row and the roadsides are not kept' in as good trim as they might be. The example I set in our best sections in this also will- we feel sure, be followed by those who have so far put up with narrow roads and un- kempt roadsides and eventually there will be no exception to the general rule of cre- ditable roads. For the present the slogan should be Good Roads and, everybody tak- ing it up, we should ere long have as good summer roads as are to be found on the continent.

It is gratifying to know that the Attor-
ney-General~ who has already been instru- mental in effecting many reforms in the province, has taken a firm stand in the matter of enforcing the law governing the running of automobiles. From the first some auto drivers have been reckless. In- deed it_ was because of the recklessness of a few in the early days of automobiling that the act was passed prohibiting their use altogether. It was because of the reck- lessness of these few that the prejudice against automobiles in this province be- came so deep rooted that it required years to eradicate it. Now that we are once
more on the normal level with our neigh- ' bours the world over it only needs the or-I
_quires correction as well as the other-and we have the assurance of th_e Attorney-Ge neral that the gorrectiqn will-be applied 1_n either case when guilt 'is proven. With this understanding and with the knowledge that there is going to be no monkeying with the law on either side there should be no
further cause of cornplziint.

Any excuse is a good one attacking
principle of certain newspapers and public men. .The chief occasion for complai_nt'_at_ present lies-in the fact__that Sir .R_ob_ert;gBor-` den required' Parliament; to consider, the Nickle resolution as one of Want of Confi- dence. The critics mourn over the decay in the independence of Parliament. They are rapidly accumulatingimaterial for a new Book of Lamentations.
What else could have been done by the
Prime Minister? Two months----before Parliament discussed the titles issue~ the Cabinet had already settled upon a policy, and it was stated clearly to the House of Commons. Sir Robert Borden explainefl the Government’s representations to the Colo- nial Office; namely, that no further heredi- tary titles should be granted, _and that Knighthoods should be given only on the recommendation of the Prime Minister. This was the radical policy of the Ministry communicated to the Imperial Government ‘ind to be laid before the coming Imperial Conference. The First Minister could not ‘ilter the Government’s well considered 'ind far-reaching programme without stul- iifying himself and his colleagues at home and abroad.
Sir Robert Borden was justified in dis-
covering whether the protagonists of pseu- do simplicity were trying to embarrass the Government or were merely tal-king for talk’s sake. Either they were engaged in political intrigue or else they were wast- ing time. The Premier did the obvious and the necessary thing in challenging the noise-makers. In brief he told them that if they did not care to _accept the Govern- “nent programme they were at liberty to ret another Administration. We believe that much of the criticism which his action has awakened is either ignorant or insin- Cére.

Many individuals among the Allied
_ieoples may be putting to themselves a juery something like this: .
The Germans have made big gains of
territory, much of it most difiicult. A large section of the allied lines has been iwept back. Even if the German drive is inally._held, andthe allies regain a slight iumerical superiority, what about the time ind cost of driving the Germans back to establish their definite miltary defeat?_ Other allied _oifensives have been long, cost- y affairs, with comparatively little strate- [ical advantage. _ Fortunately, there is an answer, and a iopeful one_._ Even if the latter part of the 1918 campaigning season finds the Ger- nans farther into France in many places ;han_ they are now, so long as the Allied irmies are_intact and undefeated, mea- iures now in hand, with l_Inited_tSates as- iistance, should rapidly discomfit the Ger- nans_ The airplane programme- for in- stance, ought by the Spring o f1919 to have placed in_ France such an offensive power that existing standards will go by Ulf? b0§irdS as they are now doing. Six American factories are now‘ :urning out 500 Liberty motors a day, or 12,500 a month. If the total contribution of airplanes by Spring is 20,000, a not un- veasonable estimate, the long communica- tions of the German armies through Bel- gium and France can be broken' by bomb- U18- Germany may be able to keep pace partly with British and French aircraft production, but not with the added United States Preparations in that particular.
d_inary gentlemanly recognition of the rights of others to place 'the automobile on the same level as other implements and instruments of civilization. The regula- tionh_ governing this _recognition are speci- fied in_ our statutes. They a ply alike tc the driver of an automobile, tlhe driver of a h_0rSe and carriage, the pedestrian, the ci- tizen without either carriage or auto_ Summed up they mean ordinary courtesy one towards another; the autoist to the man without an auto, ' the man without either auto or horse to the man who has. _

Sufficient American aviators will be avail- able when required. ‘ _ U Once the A_ll1es pass the present emer- -fincy, they will_have reason to expect ra- pidly accur_nul'ating superiority in moral and material forces. Germany will have been decisively defeated, in that it has been unable to win victory in the West
with its maximum power. ' '

LONDON, June 11.-(viii lleulcrs

It is explained that the longer hours of daylight enables sciipliincs, iilrsliips and kite balloons to assist matcrinlly in hunting down ll-bouts. Suininers conditions favor the siiliimirine hunt- ers. An observer in a British towing balloon sighted certain tliini.-gs whlcli, to ills trained eye inrlicated ho pie- senco_ of a Il-boat at ii great rloptli. Depth charges were dropped and the submarine was obliged to shift its
position. The balloon continued on
