th e as be§n,:qjitimistic and cheer- in ` iti ,dwaitfthaultimate issue of- the pr ent attle with an'x’ety. The Germans ha e made a considerable advance' consi- derable that is, in view of the comparative- ly short distance our troops can safely af- ford to retire. One point of the battle line is only about six miles from Compeigiie, an

important railway centre and the present! objective of the enemy. Should any fur-5 ther retirement occur here it would mean* a serious inconvenience to the allied for-_

ces. '

The Germans are so anxious to cut this

railway and to broaden their salient out in this direction that they are ready to pay any price for it in human lives. And they

e already paid a fearful price. A cor- ion'd&t`wiith"tlie'Alliedi armiies describ-

ing the fighting on Monday and Tuesday said tliai "slaughter, hecatombs of dead, shambles” are words that can be used- though weakly to describe the German los- ses. Troops that attack are always sub- ject to the heaviest losses, and here the enemy advanced so slowly that the French artillery was able to withdraw leisurely, when necessary andreplace batteries in, positions and to prepare for the most accu-| rate fire. Machine gunners were able to pick the most advantageous position for murderous execution of the advancing

‘scription has- shown itself twice as efficient as voluntarism, and a thousand timesmore just. 'l‘hree years of the volunteer system brought enlistment inequalities and with them cleavages between races, provinces, and creeds. Six months of conscription have made sacrifices universal and created better feeling among our people than has existed since the beginning of the war.

Today in Quebec indifference has given

way to a spirit of war patriotism for exceed ing anything the most sanguine among us had hoped for. And as time goes on, and these young French-Canadians who are now joining the color§"'"rear up a gnew structure of patriotism and christen it with their blood, a new feeling, a better . and greater and more sympathetic under- standing will come among us all, an un- derstanding and a sympathy which had been perilously near disaster and-without which true national unity in this country

could not endure.--;%o(ronto Ex.

In his address to the Synod of Toronto,

says the Daily News, the Bishop of Huron referred to the changes that have come over the economic and industrial life of the nation in the last four years. He said that prior to the war society had come to a pass where the methods of the jungle were largely in vogue. Uncompromising compe- tition had become a universal principle.

Everybody was against everybody else.

The prevailing doctrine was ‘fthe survival of -the fittest.” But, he added, the old sys- tem was now breaking up. That in his opinion was the meaning of government control and of government ownership. These advances had been made necessary by the strain of the war. But if such re- form were essential for efficiency and for

tion in time of war why not in time oi'

hordes. The line has bent and iiuctuated as

thejstruggle progresses. Hills and villagesi were taken and retaken again and again., This of course meant allied losses as well as, German, but there can be no doubt that,l owing to the manner of attack, the Ger-E

man losses were incomparably greateri

th ‘ _ . _

aliy/(iizllisall their losses the Germans madei unsatisfactory and altogether wrong. Real

but slow progress. According to our des-` patches yesterday Gen. Foch, since the drive toward Amiens stopped, has had the, bulk of his reserves in or near the area that* is now, being attacked between Montdidier and.Noyon. Not only are these troops with-

in striking distance of the front, but therewoming Order promised to be far more in;

are circumstances which also mitigate, against the success of the Germans. The; high hills which are now the zone of heavy| fighting are but outposts of the positions which are prepared along the Oise river, which bisects the field upon which the bat- tle will be fought if the first lines of de- fences are overwhelmed.

The present attack on the line east of

Montdidier may be considered as a com- plement of the offensive along the Aisne, and, when the map is studied, it will be seen that the “pincer” system, followed by Mackensen in Russia, Serbia and Rouma- nia, is again at work. If the thrust just west of Noyon succeeds in gaining ground to any large extent it will approach the line from Soissons to Chateau Thierry. On' the other hand- if the drive gains ground further west it will outflank the positions held by the French and Americans at Mont didier and compel their readjustment_ The wings, however, seem to be holding firm, and the only gains so far have been where they can do the least harm. _

Speculation as to the immediate result

of the present battle is idle, but on the new field the Allies have two points in their favor. They are on the inside of the semi- circle and so have the shorter lines, and their positions are all in the territory di- rectly fed by rad-ial railroads from Paris. The advantage of local mobility should lie with them. According to our despatches yesterday morning the battle was then at the critical stage where any advantage on either slde would count very' materially. Time is with our Allies and against the enemy. We are playing for time; he against it for time is steadily pouring re- inforcements into the Allied ranks. The enemy knows if he cannot win now, be- fore oiinrecruitifrom the United States arrive his case is hopeless. That he will throw everything into the melting pot ngw we may rest assured and the next few davs will tell the story. I

The Bishop declared that there had also

been hopeful changes in the relationship between Capital and Labor. Before the war that relationship was too often a bel- ligerent one. Such conditions were wholly

Invasion of the United States by the

boil weevil has resulted in the substitution .if food crops for cotton. The last United States census, for instance, showed less than 1,000,000 acres in peanuts, while in 1917 the area was 3-277,000 acres, the in- :rease being directly traceable to the boll yeevil. One state increased its area 800 per cent. The peanut enters largely into _iur present food supply. When ready to iarvest, the labor-saving farmer can turn n his cattle to feed on the tops. Then, if 'ns mind turns towards the hams, bacon ind pork chops, he turns loose the “razor backs,” which diligently uproot the nuts. A If pork is not in the farmer’s line, then he must harvest the peanuts and to the mills they go for peanut butter. Some pea- :iuts are sent to the crushers which make from them a clear, cold, pressed salad oil, sometimes designated as “olive.” Your toi- let soap, perhaps, is made from some of the_lower grades of peanut oil. After the oil is pressed out, the meal is ground into stock feed, which makes meat, milk and butter. Is it any wonder that the South has a “Peanut Bank,” and that an increased acreage will be planted this season.-Wall Street Journal.

The motion to provide two minis-

More churches than men was the

fact which increased the difficulty of completing the station sheet. This situation has been partly met by or- daining several probationers tempora- rily from their college course. that is. the committee sends this proposal up to the conference with its recommen- dation. How the conference will re- ceive it is not certain for while the necessities of the work are undoubt- edly pressing the right of these young men to their college course und the prime importance of adequate scho- lastic training for the ministry of the church are considerations which ex- ert strong pressure upon the minds of many

The conference has received n new

minister in the person of the Rev. Henry ‘Scott of Newfoundland, whose credentials are now deposited with this conference by the recent action of the transfer committee. The Rev. . Mr. Scott, thus transferred, has been tentatively stationed at Gaspe in the province of Quebec which is included in this territory.
