,glum distracts attention for a time from the situation in the near east. T " Since the outbreak of war, fourteen months ago, » ii§e,~TBalkan attitude has. been of prime importance. TTThcre has been a continual battle of state craft and _ intrigue to land as many as possible of the Balkan .States in one camp or the other. Thcy have swayed back and ~forth, first inclined to one side and then to the other but always openly holding out for neutrality. .Finally Bulgaria, through Russia’s ultimatum was forced to declare openly her allegiance 'to the German cnnsc. From authoritative reports it is evident that the majority of the people who are slavs and, there- fore, far more strongly attached to Russia than to Germany, are strongly against such Alliance. The royal party and majority of higher officials are pro- German and it is they who have delivered Bulgaria in- to German hands. This strong discord, thiiugh it will probably not cause a real infernal revolution, will doubtless cause a wide spread dis-satisfaction and Tin that way makc the Bulgarian assistance much less formidable than if it had the uiiqnalihcd support of the masses. Bulgaria would have been a much more wil- ling ally of thc Entente Allies had the voice of her people been followed, andT' she could have given valu- ablc assistance and hastened peace. Now 'she is doomed to fall with the Tcutons, as one of the com-

mon enemies of the human race. Her -tragic error can( at most, but prolong the agony a little. ` Greece; another Balkan state is struggling hard to niaintain her neutrality. The mass of people are strongly urging participation with the Allies but the `l{iiig," wli`o is very popular, persists in his stand for ncntrality.T It is ri big question, which way thc coun- try will go. But it is surc it will ncvcr willingly go to the (icrmans.

Ronmania, also, is struggling hard, the masses be-T

ing divided between, immediately- joining Russia and the Allies, or maintainingTncutrality. It is consider- cd probable that she will remain neutral for a time and then finally fall in with the Allies. But, much thc same was thought of Bulgaria for some time. Yet, German intrigue, German gold, and German sympa- thies in the Royal family led Bulgaria astray; It is not impossible that the same might prove to be thc case with Roumania, though thc influences of Ger- many do not appear to bc so great on Rouinania, and hcr extcusiveboundary directly on Russia would be :i great counter-balance to German efforts.

During thc past six weeks, Germany has been

losing on lio_th fronts. Russia is once more rolling back thc German forces and driving them out of the country, daily gaining momentum and as the new min- ister of war has statcd, once more starting resolutely on the long and terrible march to Berlin. The Allies in the west are daily demolishing the most formidable western linc of intreiichmciits and capturing section after -section of trenches. Their advance is slow, steady, and, methodical like an irresistable battering rain which knows no limit but kccps hanmicring away night and day like clock work.

Italy on the \/tfcsterii half of thc South is gradually

forcing her way into Austria. _

Servia, on the other half of thc South is holding

tcnacioiisly agaiiistfciiornious odds. Shc is thc only obstacle between Germany and Turkey. As yct, Tur- key, holds the Dardanellcs and could give Germany an outlet through Asiatic Turkey to menace Egypt, India, and we know not what elsc. So, as soon as Bulgaria was forced to disclose her hand, Germany had been compelled to start her effort to break through to Tur- key for whatever purpose she may have in mind. At thc point where Servia projects between Germany an_d Piulgaria, thc distance between the two countries is but thirty miles. At this spot Germany is hurling all available cf’forts._ Vi/hen she breaks through, as shc probably `will, she will have a free and friendly high- way for supplies, troops, and everything through Bul-

has planned. Obviously,_tlie Allies must completely block this move ifthey possibly can. There is no .tHling wliatriiéght be t_he_ consequences if they do not. The landing' of allied troops at Saloniki is for this pur-_ pqsef They are being rushed there in large numbers diily. 'T It is their aim to strike the railway which

P0 P05 Y

German rush at its source. " It is hoped that they may do so and we all confidentially eJ_rpect they will.

In a way, the siturition may be likened to a bottle. _ The Allies form the outer wall, Bulgaria

the bottle neck, Germany thecontents, and

stopper. As the Allies contract Germany they _ her against the stopper, Serbia,»,and as Serbia

“ The fate of `the.`»Empire”l To a British subject the idea of the British Empire failing is as unthinkable as that the heavens should fall or the sun cease to shine. To him the Empire is the universe, it was always here, it shall always be here! 'Yet itis true t that to-day, as never before, the fate of the Empire# depends upon'the` faithfu`l_n`ess of its people. They are being weighed in_ __the'balance,of the Almighty; they f are being tested as to their’ wprthiness to continue in fthe stewardship of the greatest Empire ever entrusted., to a people. If found wanting they will be deprived , 'of their stewardship. That is the eternal, relentless; * merciless law of the universe.

How do we stand in relation to this law? Are we-

doing our duty as a people? To put itT bluntly, we are not. In the matter of recruiting we have fallen fear- fully short-as a people. In the matter of contribut- ing of our means we hve fallen lanientably short-aTsT a` people. Yet it is as a people that we are being weighed, it is upon our faithfulness as a people that

the fate of the Empire depends.

We boast that we have sent to the front, or /have

on their way to the front, some 160,000 men, and tThis is true. 'I`his is only° four per cent. of our male popula- tion, only foiir out of every hundred ,bf our men and b0YS Of all ,HgC§§ Only four-out of every forty of military age and physically fit; probably only four out ' of every twenty who have no legitimate reason for- remaining at home. By way of comparison we might remind our readers that Great Britain sent 16 per ccnt. of licr male population tothe front; that is 16 out of evety forty of military agTe_‘T@iid physically fit, ,Or 16 Out of cvery twenty who have no legitimate |reason for remaining at home. _ATnd'this slfowing in Great Britain is so unsatisfactory' that the authorities who know thc situation and the need are seriously

have given show that for every volunteer in Canada there are three shirkers-and this is a vcry conscrva-\ tive estiniate.

_ This is only one phase of the situation. Thcre is,

in addition, the matter of contributing to the various funds, for comforts for those who are to spend weary days and nights in the trenches, for our legitimate share of the war taxes, etc., etc. Towards those fpnds many have contributed generously, others have shirkcd thc duty. We have no data by which thc percentage of giving may be estimated; even if we had it would 110; reveal the situation, but we have examples of pitiful iiieaiiiiess, so pitiful that tlic_qucstion involuntarily arises, are wc worth saving after all? Sonic of the-_gc have been brought to our notice. A man wont into a

baiik-it may or may not have happened in this pro- vince-to get .zi draft for some fifty dollars to send to a departmental store in another city. Wlicn he h;\i1<]¢(1 in his cash hc was told he must pay two mms for 1, wait tax stamp. He rcbelled, accused the liaiikerffof trying to rob him, abused the government for putting on such an iniquitous tax As there was no rfdrcss lic paid it. Bcforc leaving the bankThc was asked for a subscription for one of the patriotic fuiids--a quarter would be gratefully accepted. Hc refused. Sonic brav'e-hearted lad has gone to the front to die if need be"m order that this man and a few others like hini

may have t_lic shelter of thc British flag. This also is only one instance. How many such will bc required to sink the Empire? T

NOTES

The 'Fiji Islands have given ten per cent. of their

population to aid in thc maiiitcnance-of the British Empire in this war. Not so very many years ago the Fi jians were using British missionaries as mince meat.

As the Russians have no immediate incans of access

to their country, they are permitted after due author- ization by their consuls, to enrol in thc ranks cf Canadiziii regiments, a privilegc_not officially accorded to other nationalities. They arc volunteering in large numbers. ~

~"T'Bulgaria owes all shc has and is to Russia and Britain. As with Grcccc, Turkey has cvcr been Billgarizfs iinplacablc enemy, from whom Russia and Britain have protected her. King F crdinand in selling his country to a Tcutoii-Turk Alliance has given an exhibition of bascncss almost unparalleled. -
