The nose has become sharper, and its curve more pronounced, the hair is longer and more untidy, the eyes ap pear somewhat smaller, and have sunk amidst a quantity of wrinkles, which occasionally assume the hue oi an old Rembrandt.

WAR G0vEaNMi~:N'rs. '

' Many interested people and newspapers in Canada

have been dwelling on the theory that all war time gov- ernments are doomed to defeat on the first opportunity that presents itself. Inferentially they prophesy that the next general election in Canada will see a change of government. `

The Hughes government in Australia and, later, the

Massey government in New Zealand are outstanding ex- ceptions. They both won out. As a matter of fact every general election that 'has taken place since the war came to an end has resulted in victory for the existing govern- ments. In France and England as well as in Australia

M _ and New Zealand the governments that ruled during the

Looking forward to the general election in the Do

minion, when it comes, is there any reason either in rest or unrest, why the Borden Government should be defeat- ed? Is there a leader in sight in opposition who could fill the shoes of Sir Robert Borden? The place won by him not only in Canada butin-_ the Empire places him in a niche in Imperial ‘history _that should, and in all prob-

ability will,`p,lace him in the highest position Canada can give him. ‘ ar. time governments have their trials and their difficulties; they also' have their compensations in the gratitude of well served an'd wisely governed people. This has happened, as already said, in Great Britain, France, Australia and New _Zealand and there is every reason to -_believe it will hap‘p_en'in Canada.
