Tlicrc is ii little row over the detention in England of

in the eastern theatre, not much is to be learned from
what is made public. The Russian invasion of Austria has been clicckcd, it would appear. and the German in~ vasion of Russia has been piisiied till most of Poland has been occupied and Warsaw lms been tlireateued. it has not been captured, and the latest reports indicate that the Germans nearest to the city have been forced to rc- tlre. I-icre, as in thc western field, the German armies are thought to have reached their inaxiniuni strength. Oii the other hand, the forces of ltiissia should continue to increase; and the country that can continue longest to send new battalions to take the place of those that are wasted has the power of compelling victory.

THE AERIAL 1fI_ENACE
in these days when the British Arniy is making his-
tory so fast, one is apt to forget the no less iinportaiit work that is being done by the Navy. From the day on which war was declared the German overseas trade has been practically at a standstill, and the disastrous effect of such ti stoppage can scarcely be ovcr-estimated.
When we consider, on the other hand, that the over-
seas trade of the Allies is almost uninterrupted, by Ger- man sea-power, it will be admitted that the work of the British Navy-or rather, of the Allied Niivies-confers a double blessing.

would admit, “But oh. young men," he
iursued, “I want to tell you how I
envy you the opportunity of making
.his sacrifice and starting out to ake' your part in the fighting for lung- `and, France and Belgium. Some of _'ou must, indeed, inevitably make a :onveiiant with death and sleep be- ieath the earth of a foreign land.” After evoking the heroes of the past, French heroes of the war of 1870, and Timadian heroes of French race, as ixamples to be followed now with iride, Sir Wilfrid dilatedon the lib- erty that is the privilege of those liv- ing under the British flag. "Canada," ‘ie cried, “is absolutely free." Great 3ritain does not assume the right :o ask us for men. Great Britain asks nothing from us. We are a free peo- ple and once more I say that nobody will force you to offer your services. Let whoever stay at home who will. The hideous monster of conscription has never existed in Canada, nor will it ever exist In any part of the Bri- tish Empire."
"I aiu not here to discuss whether
or not we have perfect autonomy in Canada. _I will do nothing to embar- rass the Government, though I do not deny that it would be a great temp- tation to discuss the naval question at the present time. There is now
only one thought in our minds-that
is to defend the Mother Country and
the British Empire, to ilglit fo r the cause of France and Britain and for
all liunianity."
Sir Wilfrid then paid a stirriii
constauce and honor, unsuspected uii~
til the present war, of a “little country called Belgium." (Applause) He then drew a vivid picture of the stiffer- ings of the heroic little nation. "We want first of all to revenge the Bel-

tions_oii the above subject, that may be of use in making the gift as com- plete gs possible. In the first place none but wlilte oats should be sont; horsemen in the 0ld_Country have ri strong prejudice against black, they will not feed thein to horses that have to undergo a severe test of endurance. This may be oiity prejudice, nut we niust respect it; anyhow, it is easier
In the next place they should be
