'United kingdom wllere the daily output now almost equals the former yearly output it does not appear that an early end of the war is looked for. In our o\vii do- minion millions are still being expended oil the erection and equipment of new munitions plants. Shells of all si-

sizes are rolling out day and night.from the arms fac- ' tories atld the authorities in Great Britain as well as 'in Canada are calling for men and more men. Evi- fdenfly the end of theiwar, if in s,ght, is not thought to the in the_imniediate future. is not expected to be a `nlcre tightening of the stranglellold on Germany but a

tlierce, sanguinary and prolonged struggle. . ` The Allies’ reply to President \\/ilson, ami through thim to Gerniany and to the world, has been fittiilgly fcalled by an American writer a Declaration of Inde- pendence for humanity and ill its issue the Allies have thrown dowll the gauntlet. They have taken up the sword in the cause of humanity and it is up to them _ alid to us to see that it be not sheathed until humanity has been freed from the fate prepared for it by Ger- manism. lt is now more than ever humanity’s iight. \\'c :irc no longer lighting a natioil or nations; we are fighting a foul disease that must be stamped out if hu- nianity"and civilization are to survive. Germany is no

longer to be treated as a reputable nation ; she has been .

openly told before the world that her word is no -longer _ valid, that her promises are worthless, that she is not' to be trusted, that bonds and guarantees other than her own must be given to insure the future peace of the world andthe rights of smaller nations. And Ger- many has acce`pted this as the final word. She has met it with her old ihypocritical assumption of righteous- ncss.' "Ilurniilg indignation and holy wrath” is what the Kaiser calls the feeling in Germany over the Al- -lies rcply.` "'Cl§"i.-ileh1ies`,” he declared in a' proclama- tion. "ha~ve dropped the mask, admitted their lust for coilqucst and their airiiito crush Germany and enslave Europe and the seas." And ill the words of the nia- niac that he is he declares that "the Allies will never

of freedom in German hearts will give tls the full-vic- tory.” . `

How niurh of this will be believed ill Germany,

go, how many of them really believe that the purpose of thc Allies is to "enslave Europe' and the seas,” we do not know, but it is quite probable that many of them do believe it and that they will fight to thc last illall to' avert what they regard as a disaster. This is the coil- ditioil today, this the thing the munitions

and arnisfactories in Great Britain and Canada are.;

being kept-going day and night for, this is the reason why men all over the_Empire are being called t_o the co-

“Another question which has, we believef crea-

ted much dissatisfaction, is the partisan selection of ofhcers by the *Minister of Militia and Conser- vative members of parliament. In many cases, we, understand, men who have had no military training, who are nothing more or less than politi- cal lleelers, were given commands over men who

DICTATION SUGGESTIONS _

fI‘he ordinary maltdictates from 80

to 100 words a minute, and any steno. grapher who is sure of. he-r ability to take that number of words and read it without hesitation, _is certain of ii position.

Keep a pencil in the rubber band

which you have put around the finish- ed pages of your notebook.

Be sure you get everything down

clearly in your sllorthlmd ` notes. Whenever there is it 'pause in dicta- tion, instead of gazing ahsently a- bout, look -hack over your notes. so that you can read. them like print when you are asked to do so, sind, you knew, this you will ~be»ca.lled upon tn do many, many limos for there are a great many business men unable tn dictate perfectly.

When your employer _ _.asks you

what he “said lust," always begin to read to him from tlie last period. Dt:-il’t. read to Ililn from the middle of a selitelice. Quote the entire sent- ence from the last p':rl°d so that lie may get the sense of what he is :lie- tating. /

STUDY .LETTER WRlTiNG_

Study letters whereviag/_you find

them, particularly if they come from up-to-date business houses. Watch the different forms of letter-wrltllilr.

Prepare yourself to be a pert'el_~t

amanuensis rather than a lightning reporter. As the first you are sure of yourself, while the lightning reporter is oftentimes doubtful as to her notes. '

GOOD WORK VS CARELESSNESS.

Make it a rule to be slow but sure

rather than rapid and liarelesa.

Whatever you do make sense of

your transcribed notes.

Don't forget that your employer dis

likes to have I; known that he made a mistake in dictation. Don't argue with him; take a reprimand and be glad to re-write the letter rather than try to convince him that he “dictated it that wily." _

It is always better to-be prompt at

the oillce than to use up all your gray matter ill making excuses for tardi- ness. ~
