from Halifax to Truro and Windsor which was completed in 1858, this being the first public railway in the province.

The first railway to be constructed in New Brunswick was the European and North Am- erican from Saint John to Shediac, a distance of 106 miles. It was opened for through traffic in 1860 with locomotives some of which were built in the city of Saint John.

Railway construction did not get under way on Prince Edward Island until 1871 and the line was opened for traffic in 1875.

Development in railway equipment and fa- cilities has kept pace with and in some cases has been in advance of Canada's development and growth in trade. Ever the search has been to move the growing volume of traffic with great- er economy and speed. This has led to some out- standing developments in locomotive equipment. From the crude machines of earlier days is the latest giant of the rails “64oo", the largest streamlined locomotive in the world, developed by Canadian National engineers and capable of attaining speeds of 100 miles an hour. A like advance has been made in rolling stock such as freight and passenger cars. Along with the in- creasing size and speed of locomotives and trains the factor of safety has always been kept para- mount with the resultthat railways have achieved a remarkable record in freedom from accidents. Elsewhere in today's Guardian appear articles featuring this great railway anniversary, in connection with which congratulatory mess- ages have been received from many quarters, 'ncluding the Prime Minister of Canada and

AS IN 1914

8lr.—Developm.ente tn the inter- national field have ,ro'rnpted me to make some remarks which may be pertinent at this time. but this reason I beg space in your columns.

“Europe is retracing the path of 1914," David Lloyd George declared a. few days :32. Just how this is being done he explnlnsclearly: “We are following the some steps which led in 1914 to the fires of aehennn; the same steps, one by one, includ- ing military conversations, pacts and reequlpment in armament." There is one step of vital import- ance which he has omlt.t.ed——t.he kindling of the war-splrtt. It. is the motive which makes men put on a soldier's suit. and reach for a gun. The other steps are only prepara- tory to impassioned wiu'-propagan- do. flag-waving and bnnd—pla.ytng which send men to slay their bro- thers of another country.

Seneca one tlrne said out we punish B. man for killing nntther. but the murder of a. whole geople is considered 9. glorious deed. That is a true statement of our inconsis- tency. Men know that war is stu- old. wasteful and nntl-social; yet. they indulge in ft. Men know or shculd know that war ls hell; yet. they persist in going that way. This Ls plain, blunt language, sir, but it is what most of us need. Too long we have been in the doldrums so that, in a time of crisis. we are swept on our feet by demagoguee. Reason has not been our standard: rather, emotlonallsm with its up- peal to prejudice and hate. let us take thought and resolve t.ha.t the mistake of 1914 may never be re- peated.

In a week's time Canada’: part in the Great War will be commem- orated by the unveiling of 3 huge memorial at Vlmy Ridge. What F-hOl‘lCl that mum to us?
