THURSDAY, JULV 1ST, 1915.
OUR 48th BIRTHDAY
\l-‘oi-iy.eiglit years ago to-day, July 1, 1867, the North
American Colonies were united and became the Dominion of Canada. ln 1868, the year after Confederation, the 212' giregate trade of Canada. €XlJ0i‘lS and imports, amounted in round numbers to $131,000,000, or a fraction over thirty- eight cents per head of the population. In 1914 that trade had grown to $1,130,000,000, or about $140 per head of the population. '
This is a measure of our growth in material things.
There are other measures familiar to our readers. DODUIH' tionjrailway mileage, cultivated areas, development of the wealth of field. forest, sea and mine. ' i
And there is another measure. We have grown to
niaii’s estate'aiid we have been called upon to carry a. nian‘s burden. Our Empire has, not through any act of her own, become involved in a world-shaking war. ililtl true to our Motlierland we have taken up arms in her de- fence. We are paying liie price for our nationhood, paying it in blood and gold. And the "Wlielps of the Lion" whom we have sent forth have proved worthy of their ancestry. They have done men's work, but there is more of it to do. and wc iiavc iaith in their loyalty. their courage. their miiiiliiiess; and with their brethren from the homeland and from the other iloniinioiis beyond the seas, they shall once iiore overcome the perils that beset our beloved land. Through the clouds now dark and lowering let us pray on this, the birthday of our dominion, that ere another year has passed the freedom and the safety for which we are now making such sacrifices shall once more be firm- ly established.
WITHIN OUR GATES
()ur despatches yesterday morning told of another
dastariily attempt by aliens to blow up n Canadian fac- tory which was preparing to manufacture munitions for the British Government. We refer to the discovery at Levis, Quebec, of a quantity of dynamite under a building. rc,aily to be exploded when the plotiers saw fit. This is not the first discovery of the same kind and it will probably not be the last. It affords further proof, if proof were needed that there are abroad iii Canada enough Austrian and German sympatliizers to work iiicalculable mischief and while the failure of their plans so far speaks volumes i'or the astuteness and watchfulness of the Canadian auth- orities, the fact that such people are still at large among us is not so complimentary. We must now realize that for the first time in our history we are face to face with ene- mies wlio are inhuman in their hate of Britain and British institutions; that we are lighting an enemy who will hesi- tate at no fiendishness, who will scruple at no act of treachery to injure us; that, in short we in Canada are at war and that we have enemies within our gates, eating and drinking and housing' among us.
From several lessons already received we are begin-
ning slowly to realize this. Our despatches today tell us that 355 men in the Albloii mine of the Acadia (foal (‘-oiiipany iii Nova Scotia, have demanded the dis- missal of Austrian and German fellow workmen, and their demand was granted. For eleven months these men, Canadians and enemies worked side by sldelu the mines. Several incidents occurred during these eleven months which brought about this drastic move. The Cum- ming plant at New Glasgow was put out of commission by ii fire which was of incendiary origin; an explosion oc- curred in one of the mines; other things happened which have not been made public; Canadian neighborllness and patience finally gave way and the dismissal of these men was demanded and as readily granted.
iii differeiit parts of Canada, and particularly where
contracts had been taken for the manufacture of war material, tiiliigs have happened and have been definitely traced to enemies. Yct we are not awake to the fact that we are harboring enemies and that all our enemies have not been interned. We are not told how many Austrian.; and German miners have been dismissed from the Acadia coal mine, ,nor what has been done with the men dis- missed. it is hoped for the credit of our Canadian common sense that such measures have been adopted as will guard against lnborn treachery intensified by dismissal.
The affair at Levis was doubtless the work of some
trusted employee or some simple looking peddle;-, |¢|ueram_ photographer or musician, such as are to be found lil prac- tically every provlnce in the dominion, but who, doubtless also, will lienceforward be regarded with more suspicion than heretofore.
No doubt many innocent persons will suffer from
these wholesale dismi_ss_als_b_ui,, unfortunately, there is no help for it. “Safety first" is the only ilafe guide at D,-eggnt and we must not forget that in Canada as well hgim Great countrv e d h ` 8 W eh fellow
. In ri an as t eir sympathies have so often been ex.
pressed ln mt! °f treachery the only safety for them as well as for us is to place them where their sympathies ma be |lidl\l8ed without danger to others. y

Q; the pi-spent ws;-Dr. Young was in Charlottetow_p and iiaturallyfwas greatly interested in B__ritainj‘koln8 W 2 01°- asalstance of Franco and Russia. I-Ie discussed the‘m_atter . with the Guardian and greatly lamented `the erroneotp ideas prevailing in the United States and Canada re8l»i‘fl' ing his native land. He expressed a desire to lecture througiioutthe Island on “Russia as She Is," and to con- tribute articles on the subject to our columns. The Guar- dlsn, however, suggested that the Dr. would reach awid- e'r field and do immensely more good were he to write a book and have it published in the United States. Dr. Young fell in with the suggestion.. dictated his book in Charlottetown, and now it has been issued from the press - in New York. handspmely bound, beautifully printed and
illustrated, under the, ,title “Abused_Russia." ,_ _
The key note ol; the book is. found expressed in. the
following paragraphs: ~ -
"Practically everything written on the subject fright-
fully 'exaggerates the worst condition ot Russia and pro- jects these false lmpressions into intelligent American thought. Eveni Tolstoy, the most popular Russian author .
unbiased view of the Russians, and many there are who do not realize that the social evils he so ably depicts in his books are universal maladies alike in one way or another in all countries. "
English girlpwho said she greatly preferred English stories of Russia to Russian stories because the Russian accounts lacked local colour, while the English tales of Russia were so much more Russian."
Dr. Young depicts Russia pretty much as it really ls,
He does not gloss over its faults and failings nor, on the other hand, does he seek to magnify its outstanding vir- tues. He regrets that Russia so far has been unable to deflect the enormous annual tourist traffic from the United States, but perhaps one of the first fruits of the war will be to open up Russia _to the average continental perigniii- ator by way of the Dardaneiies.
Here is a picture of Russian rural life which Dr.
Young gives:
The level land divided into narrow strips, sown with
barley, rye, wheat, corn and flour, presents a veritable checkerboard appearance, here and there interspersed with low-housed villages. In Southern Russia. these gener- ally consist of squat one-story adobe houses. gorgeously painted in all the shades of blue, vermilion, red and yel-
.|low, and often pure white, while in northern Russia, the
dwellings are quite prcsentable framed houses. In the centre of the iianilet is the church with its five or six bulb-sliaped cupoias crowned " with the Greek Catholic Cross resting on the crescent, and this edifice, like the ‘is-bas' or peasant huts, ls beautifully decorated in and outside. Near the church stand the two most pretentious houses of the village, one for the school teacher, the other for the priest of the “derevnia,” as the village is term- ed. Beyond is the laundry place for the inhabitants. Here the women sing joyously as they work. Close by is the bathing place, . . . » and over all, hovers the beauti- ful calm-tiie peace which comes to minds innocent of the thousand conflicting, complicating clcumstances of city life. . . . Russia has thousands upon thousands of such liamlets yet what a totally different picture of peasant life is maliciously projected liito the minds of those unacquaiiited with lierl”
Dr. Young blames; the Jews- largely for the misrepre-
sentation of the true condition of Russia. Ho gives ex- amples of outrageous reports sent to the American press about alleged happenings in Odessa while hc was there, and__ traces them to their sources, says they were circulat- cd p_y'Jewish leeches 'ln order to stimulate the generosity of the philanthropic in America- and not one cent of the money .subscribed ever getting past the circulators oi' the fabrications.
In no other country in the world are women more carc-
fuily brought up than in Russia, says Dr. Young. On the other hand he does not mince niatters as regards the drunkenness of the Russian peasant. I
. “I am not a teetotallcr, but here say that the ruin-
ation ol’ the Russian peasant does not lic in his not en- joying the liberties of a republican form of government, for which he is at present not ready, not in the bleeding to which ho has been subjected for years by ii certain class of Hebrews, but vodka is his ruin, and poor as the peasant is, about $i,000,000,000 arc paid annually for this poison.”
We have mentioned only a few of the views express-
cd in this pleasantly written, entertaining and instructive book. it will well repay any one to procure "Abused Itussia" and read what Dr. Young has to say on a subject of vital importance at the present time.
