ers and streams there is sufficient water. if scientifically utilized, to provide electric light and power for the whole province. One of tile principal difficulties is the gen- eral levelness of the surrounding country and the consequent waste nf‘iand if the rivers were demoted. This difficulty and others will he overcome eventually however as‘ the machinery ‘for the generating of electricity becomes more highly developed. ln the meantime we must be content with the sources ObpOWI-lf‘ now within reach. wRecently, and. more especially before the use of gasoline became as general as it is today, many of our farms were provided with windmills which at least furnished sufficient power to supply the house and ‘barn with water. The unreliability of the ~wind, its vari- ableuess and. so ‘often, its entire absence made the use of the wind- mill too uncertain and many who. once depended upon it for their water supply have substituted oth- er means, especially gasoline.

_lt is interesting to note 't.hnt in Great Britain the useof windmills as an auxiliary source ot‘ power has developed tn a considerable extent.

During the war the design and

Ontario's experience ‘up. construction of wind-driven dyna- being Dam yo,‘ As ‘by their fruits

mos were practically revolution- ized. Small highspeed dynalnos were coupled to the propellers of aeroplanes, the power being deriv- ed from the speed of the aeroplane in flight. A British firm has de~ vised a scheme for fitting three or nlore of these wind-dynomos on the swivelliug top of a vertical pole; with i1 vane to keep them in position against the wind. Each equipment gives 60 watts, and the arrangement forms a cheap and‘ elftclent auxiliary to the ordinary country-house lighting installgtion. The energy produced ls, of coourse, stored in accumulators in the usual way. The operation of the plant is entirely automatic and it is so light and simlple that it presents no obstacles in erection and main- Jeuance. , _

With the increasing cost of gaso- line 11.0w so generally used for these services the British inven- tion is well wvorth keeping in mind. Possibly some of our ingenious elec- tricians may be able to attain to and perhaps excel the British in- ventor. "Necessity is the mother

The pastor in one of our city churches last Sunday laid eloquentl emphasis upon the need of fixing the highest standards lu the nat- touei as well us in the spiritual life. But your standard of life and

mbitlon and performance in an xaltedposition and strive to reach nd fhllow it closely was "lg wis- omjf listrong argument. This the t_ e conception of human he-

of and g philosophy in ‘its gener- lly accepted terms, but only too ften respected more in the breach than the observance. Aim high and seek to echlevo your aim has been given as the sages advice and if you fail to touch this point of your ambition you will neverthe- less advance to a position tn life more exalted than you would have reached if your aims had been lower.

These high standards too are re- quired today more t-han ever before ln the political life of all coun- tries. 1t has been for much too long a time considered an ele- ment of abilltly to be able by sub- terfuge to take the -Wl‘Dllg advant- nga of a political oppqleut.

A. E. Arsenault front the leadership. On this occasion the question of the future policy in provincial matters will lbe under advisement. Herein will be the opportunity for raising the standard to its highest point. and here also will be the rlgllt place to fix it as the one strong determination of the party, that those high ideals which go to- wards making the very ‘best of ollr community existence will be ad- hered to with faithful and rigid severity. First of all when a pro- mise is made to the country let it be considered es a pledge as sac- red as our existence, and made to be fulfilled regardless of sinister influence of consideration.

At the eemnloniee in Paris clun- lneluoratlng the hundredth anni- versary of the death or Napoleon. the chief speaker‘ was Marshal Foch. He reviewed Napoleon‘! earlier mmpatgns in detail, point.- ing out the supreme military gen- ius tthat wes responsible for the re- sults obtained at Marongo, Jenn, and Aueterlitz; but spoke only generally of the final overthrow _at Waterloo. He saluted Napoleon oogctbp greatest general tn history, but said that his final downfall was deserved. He said: identi- fying the greatness of the country with-his own, -he will wish to re- gulate tho fate of nations by the sword, as if one were able to make the happiness of a people spring from a result henceforth the necesl sary accompaniment cf victories, painful sacrifices in spite of alLAs if this people could live by glpry and not by work. As if the defeat- ed nations, their independence struck down, would not be bound to rise some day to reoonquervit, to put an end to the regime in prac- tice and present armies strong in numbers and made - indivisible by the nrdor derived from outraged justice. As if iu a civilized world, morlfl right would not prove super- lorQo n power resting solely on‘ force no matter how talented it might be. lu this attempt Napo~ leon himself goes tlown.not for lack or genius, but for having attempt- ed the impossible, for having un- dertaken, with n France exhausted in every way, to bend to his laws a Europe already instructed by its misery and soon to be entirely in B11115.

“Not a Genius."

in 1796. according to Foch Na- poleon had no more to learn about war. When he became a general he had mastered all the greafpriu- ciples, and if he did not establish any new cues with unparalleled briliiaucy. Nnlpoleon has said. “It is not n genius that suddenly re-y veals to me in secret what 1 have to say or do in circumstances 'un-” expected .by other; it is reflection, meditation." No commander ever more carefully planned his strokes. None looked more scrtllplllously af- ter preliminary details. He calcul- ated to a nicety whet his troops’ would accomplish or endure in cer- tain conditions, and h’e took care that the conditions were prepared for them to do their best. chad closely over tlhe morale of the soldier, the preparation and maln- tenllnce of the effective forces, saf- ‘ety of communication, the intelli- gence service, the direction and dur ation of movements. “he kept an eye on everything, but avoided being noticed by all."

A Llqhininfl calnpasgn.

As illustrating his resolution, the Marshal cited the. campaign against Austria in April, 1809. in Paris on tlhe evening of April l2, he learned of Austria's entrance into the war. He left the capital ill once, arriving on the 17th at Dott~ auworth, at a general headquarters devoid of chiefs. He secured re- ports tfrom couriers telling of great contusion in the movements of the French troops, and important gains by the enemy. l-le took advant- age of tlhe character of the coun- try which was sheltered making

observation difficult. and in six days hud reunited his scattered army. He. qtttnoked the enemy

cenirev and hurled it back in rout, part of it. to the ‘south, through Landshut lbeyond the lsar and part of it to the north ‘through Rails- bon to the other side of the Dan- ube. Within eleven days after leaving Paris he Jltul fought sever- ul battles. and put the Grand Aus- trian Army out of action, thus op- ening the road to Vienna.

Generals Saw Too Much

=Fodh quoted with approval Na- poleon's remark that, "There are plenty of good generals in Europe but they see too many things. For my tpnrt l see only one thing and that ts the masses. l strive to des- troy them, knowing f-ull well tlhet their acceseo lea will fall after them." And in order to strike thqm a sure blow he proceeds to follow methodically the art of hurl- ing the bulk of his forces om a. giv- en day upon this enemy mass. The speaker continued:

"is there anything more descrip- ttve of novelty of this doctrine’ than the conversation of Bona- parte with Moreen at the home of Director Gohter, in .1799‘! The two generals, who bad never seen each other, says Gohler, iboth seemed de- lighted at having met. It was noted that at this meeting they first looked at each other for a fmoment in silence, broken by Napoleon's

opment. They keep the child in a constant state of unrest and if not attended to, endanger life. The child can he spared much suffer-

Always the Big Force

After some explanations of the cause of this defeat, he concluded: "lt was impossible to avoid hav- ing our valiant army overwhelmed by sudh n. combination of forces. It Ja airways the lbig force that beats the little one."

"You are right." replied Bona- parte. "lt is always the big force that beats the little one.’

“Nevertheless, General, you small ones," I said to Bonaparte.

was always the small number that was beaten by the larger.’ This led brim to develop his tactics all follows: "When, with the smaller force, I was in the presence of a hi: army. rapidly ‘grouping my mien, l fell like a stroke of lightn- "18 upon one of its wings and smashed it. Then l took advant- use at once of the disonter into which this manoeuvre never failed to throw the hostile slimy to ot- tnoll it at another point, always with all my forces.
