Promplly all shipping was held in port, and seven fltitch vessels iii llritish ports, which had :i tieruian guarantee ot safety to return home. wt-re ai- tzicked by subm:triiies_ and :it least four of them were sunk. 'l`hat intensified Dutcli fear. and since then tlieirships have been tied up. _

The llerlin war lords are congratulating tiicnisel-

vcs upon the success of the U-boat terrorism so far as- 'ietitifals are coticernetl. 'l`h,~if. has been their biggest gain----the~frighteulng lofi - the seas of neutral ships that have a perfect right to bf-_tltert-. lf Hollaiitl ac- quicsces, it plays the part of a German tool. The war _has placed the Dutcli (iovernnient iii :i cruel position bttl that is not the fatilt of the liiitente (ioverninents. 'l`hey have respected Dutch lives and property.` To ruforce the blockade of Geriiiatty they have had to res- trict imports. into llollancl to duzinttttes it needed for domestic consumption, so to prevent re-export to Ger- iitany. '.l`hcy have also required Holland to sell as nutcli hoiue-groivn foodstuffs to the Eiitente as to fiermany. Nothing of injustice or hardsliip has been .ufiicted _by them, in _spite of their .full control of the seas, except what ordinarily falls on any neutral _em- braced in tt. zone of legitimate blockade operations.- However, if, out of fright at German threats, the Dutch refrain from sending their ships to British ports as usual and so do not carry out the agreement to stip- ply as much footlsttiffs to Britain as to Germany, they can-be fairly' accused of playing (iermany’s game, and as unneutrals, will be l`airl_v- open to reprisals by the llritish Government.

lt must be recognized that tlte Dutch people do not

willingly acquiescc in the cotiditions imposed by Ger- man. friglitfulness. To go into the war, they say, would be iiatioiialstticide. Perhaps if they took a vi- gorous stand, their lot would be easier. Entente ar- mies in the \-\"est are now more than a match for Ger- inanarmics, and liollatirl'_is a short cut into Germany liaipjrobably _could be. protected hy Fntente troops, '_itltou_'t_ any inaterial invasion .of Dutch territory. iowever, the Dutch Government must see that it can- ,iotfekpcct the llritish to neglect measures that will niake it observe real neutrality. The Dtttcli must know their. only hope is in an Entente victory. lf their cour- ake is oozing, London`s duty is to give it :t real reslo- rative. .

Au elderly lady teacher in a remote, district bf our

little province' was greatly annoyed by a itew species of deviltry tltat became epideiiiic among her pupils. Each pupil, apparently, carried a. pin, either for`ol’fensive ur. defensive purposes, witlf thcresttlt that there were f rc- quent interruptionnto the ordinary routine of school \i'cirk'at1d` frequent complaints from “jabbed" pupils. 'lfhcrettpou the elderly lady publicly proclaimed that tlienceforwartl any pupil found guilty of sticking a pin

-lu' his, or -her neighbour would bc -severely punished.

This stopped the pin sticking habit and there followed a great ctilm and a return to work. After an interval the calm was suddenly broken by a screain~'ft'om one of the pupils and a complaint against :i neighbour. The 'neighbour-,was promptly~l\ailed before the awful tribu- nal. “Did I not tell you,” asked the teacher sternly, ~"that -any one who stuck _npin in another pupil would .be se~verrly'puniiihed?” “House ma'ah,” replied _the ,culprit "l, d_idn’t stick a pllt in him, l only pinched ltlutif’ “Aa no ~laiv_-had ‘be’ui- enictéd 'against pinching

This ei\'rly chapter in the evolution of otir school

systcni is recalled by the. suggestions that are being put forward with :t view to regulating the rtuining of automobiles. (lite prescrilies the stopping of the :unc- icngine so many yards front the terror-stricken t?) liorse; aitotlierstiggests going into the ditclt, aiiiotlter, getting out of the auto and goiitg.for\vard to meet the terrified horse with a flag of truce, etc. etc. etc. lf the occupant of the oncoming carriage is killed or his cari- riage broken after all these rules have been cotuplied with the aiitoistfis presumed to be guiltless, and the thing that he did or did not do would in regular course of legislation become incorporated in the criinin:il code as :i criminal ofleiice.

» 'l`here are certain written and unwritten laws rc- gulatiug the conduct of men and wonicn on the roads and elsewliere. 'l`hc decent citizen, itiale or fentale, will observe these laivs; the others will, when it suits, violate them and place tlicittselves within the power ol_ the law. The only remedy for the latter is to let the law take its course with theiii. .\n :intoist may stop his ciigitie, may run his machine into the ditch and still do less than- he ought to do to help the one wl_ion.i l_iis_auto tltr_eat_cn,s to injure. .'\ man who is dot :it lieart :i criiii-' inal will do all _he can to prevent iiijury to others rc- giirtllcss :is to xyhethcr his :ict is or is not specifically nientioiied iii tht' cri,iuiual._coile; lllsziiiuii who will not do this has no r_i'};ltt to be entrusted with either :iii auto or a horse :iud‘lie should bc prevciitcd front using' either ttiitil he le_:iriis tn observe the orditi:ii'_\' :niiciiitit--i of life. . -’ ~ ‘

lf wc begin itpplying rules' to the drivers of :ni|o::,

other than the geiicral rules now regulating and safe- gtiartiiitg the rights of all on the liiglitvays, we tniistl do thc saiiie witili respect to theidrivt-rs of liorses. lt is not inany ireeks since, on thc streets of Charlotte- to\\'t'., two respectable citizens, one of tlietii :iii :igcfl |:i~ dy, were run down by sleiglis carelessly and criniinally driven. Iii neitlier case did the drivers take the trouble to fititl oiil whether the victitii of his criiiiiitril con- duct was lcillcd for not. .\len guilty of such oinragcs as these should ‘he severely punislied. _ `

The recklessilriviiig of either carriages or autos is

punishable by lain' whether accidents result or not. ln the case of the autoist, who is obliged to have a license before he can di'ivc at all, the remedy is easy-his li- cense can- be and should be cancelled or suspended ac- cording to the degree of guilt, As matters stand :il present liowevet-_between carriages and autos there :ip- pears to be more need of restrictions aitd regulations for the fonner than for the latter. Practically all the road and street accidents that have occurred since the introduction of the auto resulted, not front or by autos, but by sleighs and carriages. The only safe rtilc _for both is to severely punish the di_'ivcr_of_ _eitliei‘, whose tnaiiner of driving is such as to bc it menace to others, and the laws on our statute hooks no\v cover the whole, situation if we apply tlteni.

' Love of oneis country, like love of one's hottie, is

a natural instinct common to all true men and women of whatever nationality or whatever race. From the savage who protects his home with a clttb, and the atti- mal that shields its young with tooth and claw, to the 'trained soldier who fights his country’s battles with tuoderii weapons, the instinct is tlte same and he is a inougrel, man or aitimal, that lacks it._

"Breathes 'there a man with ,soul so dead, who ne-

ver to himself hath said 'this is my own, my native land ?”

We should in every way encourage and develop

tliisinstittct not iti ourselves alone but in others: should honour those who rejoice in their count_ry’s best traditioiis and voice their pt°i<Ic`i_n them. We nlay well regard with suspicion and distrust the nian who is not anchored to the special glories of his own laitd.' lle it is who, “livlhg, shall forfeit fair renown and, doubly dying, shall go down-to the vile dust front whence he sprung, unwept, unlionoured and unsung.”

We in Caiiada, \ve even here in Prince Edivzirtl ls-

land, made up as we are of different races. have not always regartled each other’s national aspirations a_i_id rejoicings and celebraticnsiii their true light. Each nationality observed its fete days and its cclebratioiis within its own circle, too often under the tmsympathc- tic if ii_ot the jealous eyes of the others, 'l`hesc times have changed, Otir ntttiomtl celebrations have become* broader in their scope. Our Fjtiglisli, lrisli, Scotch.` French are becoming more and more Canadianizcd. more and more welded into a common citizensliip, each race justly cherisltiitg its own trtulitions, each jttslly nursing its racial pride and 'all glorying together in a common Canadianism. And each race ltas its proud traditions; the flag of each has floated _over victorious battlefields, over ntcii who had' brought honour and fame to their race. and we are none the less loyal to the common flag of us all if wc_ each look with pride past our own to where "ever upon the topmost lt'eight the banner of Britain flies.”

‘ lt is fitting that these national and racial traditions

be perpetuated, that each of our great races-and they are all great in a common greatness-should rejoice

(with the others, should encourage thc others in keeping

alive their best traditions. The qualities that have made _each great will,'tmi_ted, make for that common "greatness which is today being evolved in blood and
