A FORMIDABLE, BRUTAL FOE
in Sir .lohn Frettt-it's recettt report of the progress of the
Allies wt- find titis passage: "The Germans are it formid- able enemy. \\'ell-trained, long prepared and brave. their ttoltliers are carrying on the contest with skill and valour. Nevertheless, they are lighting to win attyltow. regardless of all the rules of fair-play. and there is evidence that they tio ttot ltesitate at attytllittg in order to gain victory. A
huge ttuu_ll>er of the tales ol' tlteir tnisbehaviour are exag- geratiotts, anti sotne of tht- stringent prt-t-autiotts titey have taken to guard tltctttselves against the inhabitants of the gram; [mt-9r_;»-tl are possibly justifiable measures of war. lint, at the saute time" and titis should be particu- larly noted, “it ltas been tletinitely established that they have t-omntitteti atrocities on many occasions, anti they have bt.-en gttilty of hrtttul contlttct,"
This is the cool, t-onsitleretl report of tt soldier accustom-
t-tl to weigh his words. While distfouttting exaggeratious, he still tlelibt-rately asserts that tlte Germatts are fighting unl`a.irly and tio not hesitate "al anything" to win a vit-tory.

Mr. Styles in the Guardian the otlter day. The Germans believe the the "end justifies the nteans”-tlte end in their case being the s\t|>t‘t-tttut-_y of tht- “blond \\'iltl beasts."

lt is interesting anti often instrttctlve to keep watch
upon outsitlt- opittiott. in tht- war situation we have been guided largely by reports, often frietttlly and therefore perhaps ttot independent. Regarding the result of tht- terrible and continuous battle raging for the past three wt-t-its in §ortltf-_rn Frnttce atttl in Belgium we have had the optimistic views oi' frietttlly war correspondents anti tht-_somewltat vague reports of the war offices. The fol- lowing is the opinion formed of the situation by the usually well-informed Brooklyn Engle:
Tilt- Allies are entering upon a period which may prove
even more trying than that following the retreat from (‘ambrai and Mons. ln possession of Antwerp, relieved of all danger from a flank attack by the Belgian Army, needing only skt.-it-ionized columns to protect their lines of communication, the Germans are able to concentrate almost their entire available fighting strength in the west in one stupendous effort to break the Allied lines. Their prime objective at the present moment appears to be the capture of the little corner of Belgium still outside their sphere and including Otttend; but it is certain that they will not relax their efforts to pierce the French position in the center. or at Vordun, or Boifort, against which some of the hllb liggg Bled alainat Antwerp are now be-
offorte will require all the
the courage the Allies can mun-
tho German-advance from
one and from'
‘v”’\ ,
from Przemysl; Warsaw is threatened. and the Russian invasion of East Prussia, if not halted, is apparently mak- ing no substantial progress. The Austrians. crushed be- yond hope of recovery in the Petrograd dispatches, seem to have developed an extraordinary recuperative power. which suggests that their teiegraphic dentoralizdtiott has been somewhat exaggerated. '
Critical as the situation is, there is no sign that the
Allies are losing heart. lf they have indicted no decisive defeat on the enemy, the latter has been prevented front inflicting a decisive defeat upon them. They have to their credit the frustration of the German plan for an irresist- ible drive toward Paris, which was intended to lay France prostrate and force ‘her to an early surrender. The history of England and Russia shows that the tenaci- ous qualities of both are stimulated rather than impaired by reverses. Frattce has ttot yet begun to exhaust het* resources. All three countries have settled dowtt to the conviction that the war will be rt lottg one, but that victory in the end will rest with their arms. They know that German success could mean nothing but tite creation of an all-powerful Confederacy, subortiinating Austria and italy, absorbing Belgium, probably absorbing Holland and Denmark and subjecting every tlevelopntettt. of Continen- tal politics to the supervision of Berlin. ’l`hat is an ap- prehension whiclt compels tht- Allies to employ* their greater resources in men atld money to the very limit.
Ȥ-lf2- WARM WURDS FOR CANADA
The arrival in England of the (‘anadian contingent was
the theme of many tributes by the Brit-ish press. The liiotherland is unquestionably deeply moved by Canatia’s tntigttificettt support in the struggle.
The :Ministerial "‘\\’estmlt\ster Gazette" says:- "This, indeed, is a magnificent contribution to tlte lm-
perial army ttow at work in Europe. We in the Motlter- land are deeply conscious ol' tlte splendid loyalty which tfqn-luiatts, like all kinds of people overseas, have displayed at this critical time. A good many Canadian farmers fitttl it tliihcult to leave their farms for tlte i'rottt. They may rest assured that b_v staying in (lanada and growing wheat for tts for 1015, they will perfortn it vt-ry real service to the Empire.” 1
The “Ev--_ning Statttiarfl” sayin- "Tltey are a fine body of tnen. They represent the best
manhood of Canada. 'l`hey are well fittetl to uphold the honour and dignity of the Empire, anti they are enthusias- tic in their desire to participate in a great world iight for the liberty and sanctity of treaties, and determined to do whatever tlte British military authorities ask ill the thorough bttsiness-like way cltaracteristic of them."
The London "Star" recalls that the troops have had no
severe training, but will now get it soon, and be equal to tlte hardsitips of -ttetual -.vart‘at't-_ "Matty are either athlt-.tt-'t or have followed pursuits which harden the ntust-.les anti make them at the outset as fit as seasoned soldiers," it says. “They expect to he in the field themselves, atttl they would consider it would hardly be fair to be sent 3.000 miles jttst to tio garrison duty for the British."
The London "Morning Post." otte of tlte most influential
papers in the l'ttitetl Kingdom, saysz-
“The patriotism of the Dontittiotts in placing their food
supplies at our disposal at a time of crisis suggests tt policy of ttttttttal trade benefit in the future. Australia. which, in common with the other Dominions, has lottg given the United Kingdom a trade prei’erettce, is ttow cott- sidering ltow to ensure, by force, il' necessary, iltat its supplies of food are plat-ed at the disposal of tlte Motlter (‘otttttry before all competitors. A Contmission, which has been considering ways and mt-ans of effecting this object, has made certain practical proposals to this end. ln the same way Canatia and New Zealand ltave displayed a most filial desire to st-cttre i'or this country tt constant anti abundant supply of food. Friends in need are friends intieetl_ Wltett peace once more tlawns in the worltl tht-st- gracious and kindly acts are not likely to be forgotten by the British people."
Tile “Manchester Guardian," dealing with (‘ttttodu’s aitl.
says:-
“The cry against emigration in this country must be
forever silenced, now that we have seen our own emigrants stand by the Olti ('ottntry when their help is needed; how they shower gifts upon the home government. the army anti the navy; how they rush to enlist to iight for titt- Emplre tts eagerly its any lt0me»staying citizens, and com- paratively in far larger numbers."

lu following the Pagan philosophy of Nietzsche ami at-
tempting to conquer tlte world by brute force, Germany is running counter to all tlte principles which have stood the test of two thousand years. Perhaps. this is best il- iustratetl by Milton-a sadly neglected poet nowadays, alas! wlto in his “Paradise Rcgztinetl" tells us:-~ "They err wlto count ii gl0l`l0\l9 10 S\li><i\1c.

But if there be in glory ought of good,

This so graphically depicts the present siluntlott that
nothing need be added by way of comment. -

Germany is not only straining every nerve in the field of
actual warfare. bttt iter emissarlett are carrying on an active and well directed campaign in all countries to arouse sympathy for her cause. Unfortunately for Ger- man contentions, however, the records showing the causes of this war are open to the world to read. and the stories of German atrocities in Belgium cannot ho suppressed, German attempts to arouse sympathy will end in failure, just as her attempt to achieve world domination will re- sult in utter defeat. ~
Ypres is n famous linen-making town of some 20,000
people. The English word "diaper" is a corruption of the French "d'Ypres"` (“of Ypres"). it possesses some famous buildings, notably a cloth-hall and a cathedral. both built in the 13th century. One wonders if the con- non will spare them. More notable art treasures in archi- tecture have been doatroyed by tha Kaiser in this

_Service the Tent of Greatness
lt is only vulgar minds that ‘luis-
takes bignoss for greatness; for great- ness is of the soul, not of the body. In the judgment which history will here- after pass upon the forty centuries of recorded progress toward civilization that ttow lie behind us. what`_`are the tests it will apply to determine the true greatness of a people? Not popu- lation, not territory. not wealth, not military power; rather will history ask what examples of lofty character and unselflsh devotion to honor and duty has a people given? What has it tione to increase the volume of knowi- edge? What thoughts and what ideals f-f"n¢~-'man`ent value and unexhausted fertility has it bequeathed to mankind? What works has it produced in poetry, music, and other arts to he an unfail- ing source of enjoyment to posterity? The small peoples need ttot fear tho application of such tests.
'l‘he world advances, ttot, as tlte
'Bernhardl school supposes, only or even ntaittly by fighting; it advances mainly by thinking and by the pro- cess of reciprocal teaching and learn- ing; by the continuous anti uncon- scious co-operation ot’ all its strong- est and finest minds. Each race-Heb lenic, italic, Celtic, Teutottic, Iberian, Slavonic-has something to give,each something to learn; and when their blood is blotttled the mixed stocks may cotnhitte gifts of botlt. Most progres- sive races have been those wlto com- bined willingness to leartt with strength, which enabled them to re- ceive without loss to their own qual- ity, retaining their primal vigor, but entering into the labors of otht.-rs,as the Teutons who settled within the tlontiniotts of Rome profited by the lessons of the old civilization.
,Let me disclaim once more before I close any intention to attribute to the German people the principles set forth by the school of Treitst.-like and Bernhardi -the school which teaches hatred of peace and arbitrat,iott_ dis- regard of treaty obligations scorn i'or weaker peoples. We in England would feel even deeper sadness than weighs upon us ttow if we coultl suppose that such principles had been ent- bruced by the ttation whose thinkers have done so mttclt for huntatt pt'o- gtess and wlto have produced so many shitting examples of (Tltristian saintli- uess; but when those principles have been ostentatiously proclaimed. when it peaceful neutral country which the otlter belligerent had solemnly .anti repeatedly undertaken to respect has been treated, attd when attempts are made to justify these deeds as in- cidental to tt campaign for civilization anti culture. it becomes necessary to poittt out ltow untrue and how per- nicious suclt principles are.
Most Wars Needleu and Unjust
What are the teachings of history
to which Gen. Bernltardi is t`ottd of appealing? That war has been thc constattt ltattdtnaitl of tyranny and tht-_ source of more than ltall' the miseries oi' man; that, although some wars have been necessary anti have given occasion for a display of splen- did heroism-wars oi' tlefencc against
aggression or to succor tlte oppressed '_
-most wars have been needless or unjust; that the mark of an advanc- ing civilization has been tlte substitu- tion of friendship for ltatreti attti of peaceful for warlike ideals: that small peoples have tione anti can tio ns nttlch for thecomtttott good of bu- manity as large peoples; that treaties must be observed tfor what are they but records of natural faith, solemn- ly pledgedpand what coultl bring mankind more surely and swiftly buck to that reign oi’ violence anti terror from which it has been slowly t-is-‘ ing for the last ten centuries than. the destructiolt of trust ltt t.he plight- eti faith of nations.
No event ltus brought out that es-
sential ttttlty which ltow exists in tht- world so forcibly as this war has done, for an event has ever so ttf- fected every part of the world. Four continents are involved, the wltole ol' the Oltl World, anti the New World suffers grievously in its trade, indus- try attd finance. Thus the wltolo world is interested in preventing the recurruttct- of snclt tt calamity, anti tht-re is a general feeling throughout the world that the causes which have brought it upon us must be removed.
Vt/n ora rom that 'tt-\~\qvtt»=v\t_g n\t|~:f
be reduced; that the balefui spirit of militarisnt must oc quenched; thuti peoples must everywhere be admitted to a fttller share in the centre of foreign policy; that efforts must be matle to establish a sort of leagues of concorti-sontt'-. system of interna- t.ioual relations atttl rt-ciprocol peace alliances by which weaker nations may be protected anti under which differences between nations may bt- adjustcti by courts of arbitration anti conciliation of wider scope than those that ttow exist..
All these things are desirable, bttt
no scheme for preventing future wars will have any cltance of success ttn- less it rests upon the assurattce that the States which enter into it will loyaliy and steadfastly abide by it. and that ouch and all of them will join in coercittg by their overwhelming united strength any State whlcn may disregard obligations it has un- dertaken. The faith of treaties lathe only solid foundation on which. the temple of peace can be built up.
