Tin: will!

'i Although the war ne\vs is exceedingly meagre these days, indicating that the censor has put more than the usual pressure on the lid, it is evident that ` big things are in the air and likely to develop in the, very near future. The great battle of Verdun, pre- cipitated by the Crown Prince is still in progress after ` more than two months of slaughter in which the Ger- mans are said to have lost almost, if not altogether, a half million men. In this battle the French were on the defensive while the Germans rolled wave after wave in the attack only to be broken against the im- pregnable chain of fortresses surrounding the town of Verdun. Now the French have taken the offensive and are driving the Germans from trench after trench, from position after position. Forty miles east of Ver- dun is Metz, said to be the most strongly fortified city in liurope. lt is the chief city as well as the chief stroirgliold in Lorraine and the Germans are now beginning to fear for its safety. It is said in some of the despatches that the civilian population is being removed in anticipation of an early assault by the French and Allied troops.

No official announcement of such a move has been

made or will be made but the progress that is being made by the French would seem to indicate that they do not purpose halting at Verdun. Farther north and west, around Ypres and on the border of Belgium; heavy fighting is continuous as if the contending lines ` were testing each other’s strength. The Canadian casualty list which has of late been very much larger _ than heretofore, shows that our boys are doing and daring and dying in this sector.

The arrival in France during the past three weeks

of several contingents of Russians lends colour to the belief that an offensive on a large scale is to be undertaken shortly. Of this, however, little, proba- bl_v» will be given out except the results of decisive

iiiovenieiits.

_ Up to a late hour this morning the full text of (§ermany’s reply to the. United States has not been received although expected yesterday. From the com-3 ments in Berlin papers it would appear as if Germany wants to do a little more parlcying and explaining be- fore throwing down the gauntlet to the United States. \\`hethcr thc \\’ashington Government will shut off the parleyiiig or send more notes remains to be seen.

In the United Kingdom the sensation of the week

has been the rebellion in Dublin and thc arrest and trial of those who foniented it. The trouble was noti

long-lived and peace once more reigns in lrelandf many of whose sons are bravely and loyally fighting; the Empire’s battles in France and Flanders. The re- sult appears to have been confined to the few sec-` tions in which German emissaries had been doing mis- sionary work since the beginning of the war just as' they have been doing in the United States, India and elsewhere. The rebellion in Ireland was German ratherthan Irish and met the fate that awaits the German uprising in Europe.

Military writers seem to be of the opinion that thc

next month or two will witness events on the con- tinent that will pave thc way, at least, for the begin- ning ofthe end. _

WHERE Allll WE AT?

Where are we at in 'this maze that, until two years .

ago, we called Civilization; sometimes going so far as f

What heritage is this war going to leave ns. scientific invention we shall be infinitely richer. We shall hy/e conquered the air; shall have charted the bottomless ocean and made it navigable. shall have hamessed and domesticated the mysterious and un- known electrical forces and made them do our bid- ding in our homes and _on our streets. We shall have become moparchs of all we survey in air, on earth, in me sea, and ibm what? will we have conquered that devil that mined Germany after she had nursed- it in her bosom until it beaune sotiicieatly strong-to stran- gle her and make her an object of pity and contempt even to' ‘the untutord savage? That devil is selfish- ness, fed and pampered and hugged and ever growing in strength until, at last unless curbed, it gains the mastery. This is what happened in Gemiany; it is what happened to the misguided little party in Irr- land who allowed themselves to be persuaded by Ger- man miscreants that they were strong enough to defy the might of England; it is what is happening on a smaller scale among ourselves when we feed our self- ishness by going a little beyond our rights, claiming these little excesses' as rights and gradually extending them until we finally conclude that everything we can lay our hands upon is ours by right. This is at the bottom of that monopoly which we occasionally find in the commercial. the industrial, the transportation and even the social world; when thg stronger concern gradually strangles the weaker and puts it out of busi- ness. There is no doubt that, with the advance of science and invention, and the resulting spur of ambi- tion, the tendency to over-reach is being unhealthily fed. This tendency, fed and encouraged- ruined Ger- many and brought upon the world its greatest cala- mity. We 'too must watch our tendencies and see to it that they are not carried to excess. National righteousness is only individual righteousness multi- plied, and the nation’s safety depends upon each in- dividual doing his duty.

Summer is here once more. We have seen many

summers come and go; seen them come, with high hopes that we should see an improvement over the previous one; seen them go with many regrets for lost opportunities, for neglected advantages, 'for cri- minal disregard for those things which would have been to the advantage of ourselves individually and of the province 'generally_

For many years we have boasted of the advan-

tages of our province as a summer resort, its unex- celled climate, its interesting and picturesque rivers and shores, its fishing- boating and bathing privileges.

-These are the first essentials of ci summer resort and

we have them in abundance. Yetfew besides our- selves know we possess them.

What have we done to encourage tourists to visit

us? Last year the Board of Trade did something, and with good effect, so far as the effort went. We have a Tourist Association but those who once knew it now know it no more. Indeed its very existencel had been forgotten until the other day when the gen-

.tleman who is said to be its president vetoed the motor

bus bill in the legislature, thus depriving the city of the only bid for tourist business at present in sight..

It is now somewhat late to do much to encourage'

tourist travel for the present summer, and yet some- thing could be done. ‘ Ther¢ arc reports that efforts are being made or about to be made to Open more of our roads to automobile traffic. There is a growing opinion that the road to Georgetown is about to be opened by petitions from the _one or two school dis- tricts that have hitherto been antagonistic. Such a

during the summer. 'It would be a nice day's outing from Charlottetown and even apart from outside au- tos the fifty or more autos here would make n-iaiiy and profitable visits to the eastern city and intervening vil- lages.

There is also some talk of similar effort along the

South shore from Charlottetown to Summerside. There is not a finer continuous fanning section in

to call it Christian' Civilization? The latest jolt is ;Can;,ida than that travel-5¢({ by this road and ¢}1¢ cpm-

that Eskimo chiefs away up in the Arctic regions,1' away up_under the Aurora Borealis, accessible only: by dog teams and to whom we have been-even now ' are-sending missionaries and clothing, that these' chiefs have subscribed a fund, each paying two dol- lars, to feed the starving victims of German civiliza- tion and culture in Belgium! Civilized Christianity an object of charity to the unclothed, uneducated. un- civilized barbarians! It is humiliating, no doubt, and yet we cannot refuse the help of these poor people.` The Belgians need it all and more, and they are our

ingof it to automobiles would be the biggest adver- tisement the Island could possibly receive.

These things and many others have been “iii the

wind" for some time but so far nothing has come of them. In the slow process of evolution they, and doubtless many more, will come. In thg meantjhie unless we “get a move on” the present generation is not likely to profit much by the advancement. of

The Tourist Association, if still in existence,

should be revived and 'the province and the outside

wards because they are suffering for us, suffering be-,
