AS OTHERS SEE US
An article which attracted widespread attention recently,
because it was allowed to get past the censor, appeared in Germany from the pen of a noted German professor, who stated that German statesmcn had .been astounded by the show of loyalty on tho part of the British “ colonies.” In a tone of pained surprise this savant admits frankly that, at the outset of the war, the German Government counted confidently upon rebellion in practically every
confesses, that Ireland, india, and South Africa would revolt. Then Canada and Australia would follow suit, when all the available Britlsli forces had been hurried away from those countries. It is amazing to find the great British "colonies" sending abundantly of their available men to strengthen the thin British lines. The abortive revolutions in India and South Africa. were comparatively petty aint easily crushed-so easily that these " rebellious ” states have helped to obtain victory over German forces elsewhere since.
“lt is evident," the German commentator observes.
“that the British have some element in their Government that we lack; something that Germany must also acquire, when wc have determined what it is.”
Of course the thing which the German Government
lacks. and which thc British Government found such a source of loyalty among its component members of the liritish Empire, is the essential difference between that Empire ami thc German colonisation idea.
(`omnicnting on this observation by the German snvant,
at l'niled States exchange pnys this fine trlbute_to the llritish Empire and its methods: “ The llritish Empire is to-day rcally ii confcileracy of States, independent in their internal governmcnt, but lcagued togcllier for the common purposes of offence nnrl df\l't-iicc. lt is thc greatest league ol' thc kind on thc earth; the greatest the civilised world has cvor sccn. The term 'Empire' is inherited from |'cr|iicr gcncrntions. But it is far more truly a League than an Empire.
“ While Canada is essentially an independent State, and
Australia is another, nnd South Africa is practically so, :ind india is being cduczilcd to become so as fast as pos- sible. this Confederacy recognises that its hope of common sztfcty and its rcfugc against attack must lie in the force iiminlaineil by the lmperinl Government. ln the light of present experience the Confederacy now realises that thc army should have been much larger; but the navy has
proved equal to most, ot' tho task sct for it.
“ To a ccrtnin extent. and in a manner which intelligent
men can recognise, the British Empire is. with its league with ltussia, Franco and italy, the nearest approach the world has _vct seen to that ‘\Vorlrl‘s League for I’eacc,' of which many vvisc men have dreamed, but which has never _vcl tiikcn form. liut the Empire itself, ill its 1110111038. :ippronclics most nearly that dream. All its joint disputes arc settled by known laws, without ii thought to rccoursc tn fort-c. Ear-li Nation niannges its own affairs, but recog- nises that the danger of one is tho obligation for a common defence, hy all. And it is now plain that only this League for (‘oninion Defence has saved cach of the individual
members from being conquered in turn."
PURTABLE SHIELD FOR SOLDIERS
The European Conflict., and particularly the dead-lock
on the wr-.stern frontier, has set inventors to devising means for overcoming the great defensive strength of trench warfare. One device which presents many good points and seems practicable is a British invention termed a. “moving fort." ln fact, it is a shell or shield shaped like a bullet except that the horizontal diameter is slightly greater than t.iie vertical diameter. lt is made of chilled stool and weighs about 200 pounds. lt is just large enough to receive a man on all fours. It has a small wheel or roller near its forward end on its lowcr face for support- ing most of its weight. lt is propelled by the user by sim- ply pushing against the ground with one foot, his hands ri-sling on it suitziblc rod or support inside of the shell. A sight slot and rillc opening through the centre ol’ the top from wall makes it possible for the user to see where he is going and cnablcs him to shoot at the enemy. The vcry gradual taper of the shield and the hard metal safely dellects all rifle and machine gun bullets and fragments of shells, so that it is really a small moveable fort proof against all but high power explosives and shell and oven they do little damage unless they strike squarely.
By this means. n largc number of men may crawl very
close to tho enomy‘s lines and then spring from their "forts" and make one short sharp dash into tho trench,
ami all is over. lt seems a dcvicc well worth trying.
CANADA AND ITS LDANS
The issue ln New York of a Canadian Government lonn
of $45.000,000 has raised again (says a contemporary) a discussion as to thc practlcahility of Canadian institutions borrowing at home instead of in other countries. The matter is one that has frequently been brought to the fore. It is one, however, that is affected by facts and not hy theories. and the facts are such that not only governments. hut, municipalities-i and corporations. when they need large sums. find it well to do business. lt is pointed out that just now the Canadian chartered banks have on deposit, payable after notice or on a fixed day, the great amount ol' $683,000,000, on which interest is paid at the rate of from 2 to 3 pr-r cent. These deposits are distinct from those which bear no interest. totalling about 350,000,000, and which represent largely the current daily balances of the banks' clients. lt is asked why the nrst large sum men- tioned should not be invested in Government loans, which at present pay the good interest rate of 5 per cent. lt is possible that some ol' the money will be so invested. The return on the new loan is high, and the security good. There are not many better things on the market for the man who wants both safety and a fair recompense. But the large sums on deposit ln the banks are only ln part avaliable for permanent investment. The owners are many thousands in number-probably many tens of thousands.

`l°metimos to await the opportunity of investment. Often; naturally, the individual amounts are small. In the postal luvings bank, which has nearly $43,000,000 of depositors' money, the average sum to the credit of a depositor is only S290. lt is probable that in the chartered banks the average may be higher; but even if it was two or three times as great, the situation would still suggest that no great amount of the total would be available for long-term investment in bonds. Some of the provinces have offered to sell bonds to domestic capitalists, and sometimes they had to walt months before the required sums were obtained. lThere are occasions when such a wait may cause no worry. There are others when it might be costly to the point of grave inconvenience or loss of credit. So when a heavy demand is to be made the Ministers or others .concemed .usually go to the larger markets, London generally, Paris

Bd that both the profits from the use of the money and the,lnteresr will remain here. The life insurance com- panies ln a considerable way, the banks and investors in a smaller way. are doing something to this end. It has not been reached in the United States yet, however, and it cannot be expected that it will be reached here at an early date. There are many things even a moderately well off people have to get before they become great bond
buyers. _
RETREAT SOMETIMES VICTORY
As to the real outcome of the attack upon and the
defence of Warsaw, our despatehes give few details. It appears, however, that the Russian army has either been or is being successfully extrlcated from between the jaws of the "nutcracker."
Grand Duke Nicholas, in saving his men, is carrying
out the policy of Generals Joffre and French. It is specta- cular to dash one’s head against a stone wall, but had for the head. Napoleon won his way to Moscow, and pro- foundly wished he had not. Some victories are so closely akin to defeat, as to be indistinguishable from it; and some are even worse thnn defeats. Russia’s ammunition handicap has been pressing, but that will be overcome, and by the Grand Duke’s tactics a trained and seasoned army will be ready to make the most of the munitions when they do come. The world admires the forward dash, but it takes even greater courage to effect orderly re- treat, and fight successful rearguard actions whilst the movement is in progress. Russia has played the waiting ganna before, but never with equal ability and precision, and the retreat now in progress from Warsaw will un- doubtedly rank as one of the greatest military achieve- ments of history.
UNITED srarrscizanhns
Wo hear much of thc strcngth of the German clonient
in thc United States. lt is surprising, therefore, to learn that Germans are less numcrous than thosn of British blrtli or origin. Of British origin there are 10,037,420; of Germanic origin 0,187,007. Of British who were born out- side thc llnitcd States there. are 3,363,792. Of native Flritish thcrc are 6,677,082. Of Germans, 2,910,857 were born in foreign countries and 6,276,150 in America. The trade argument is overwhelmingly against thc Fatherland. l~‘or 1913-14 exports to Gormany from the Republic totallcd $344,794,276; to the United Kingdom $594,271,863, to (‘an- ada $344,716,981, to other British-American countries, $23,105,650, to British Asia $27,551,718, to British Africa $18,960,770, to British Oceana $54,986,635, or rt total of $1,063,593,617.
As The Canadian American says: "lf it comes to at
question of material welfare ami profit-words constantly on the lips of Gorman champions since honor, truth and conscience becainc more ‘scraps of paper’-it would seem that this country's advantage lies in a coiniucrcial alliance with Great Britain. if the voting strength is to bo con. sidered, thc British vote is worth more than thc Gormiini<~_ Those arc mercenary calculations which British-Americans seldom think of, but which arc forccd to tho foregrotiud now by Professor Dcrnburg and his associates."
N015
A resolution unanimously passed by thc Russian lluma
declares it to bc the Empire's unshiikoablo delcrmiination not to conclude peace before ltussia's victory is coniplctc and pledges the willing assistance ot' the entire population for the creation of fresh means for continuing the struggle. This resolve of the people's representatives in Parlianiont, together with the Czar’s message to the offerfr that Russia will stand by her Allies to the end, should bc convincing proof of the Russian Empire's determination and good intentions.
It WHS RU<|Yt\l‘<| Kipling who said: lf the Allies arc
DUMB". there will ho no spot on thc globe where ri .som can escape from the domination of this enemy of mankind. Thero has been childish talk that the Western hemisphere would offer a refuge from oppression. Put that thought from your mind. lf tho Allies were defeated, Gcrmziny would not need to send a single battleship over the Allan- tlc.. She would issuo an order and it would be obeyed. Civilization would be bankrupt, and tho western worn] would be taken over with the rest of the wreckage by Gor. "wily, U10 l`B00lV€l'- S0 you seo there is no retreat pos- sible. There are no terms and no retreat in this war. it must S0 f0I‘WHrd. and with those mcn of England who are eligible for service, but who have not yet offered thom- selvcs, the decision of tho war rests.
