li. would bt-. folly to assert that tlit-. number of men that

have been called to the colors represents tht- maximum of Canada’s willingness to serve. lt need not bt: pretendetl that the few men that (‘anatla has sent. or is preparing to send, represents "where we as a iiatloii stand." We could raise half a million men if need be. The Home Govern- ment know that there is no limit to Canada‘s willingness to serve in this Empire crisis. We do not know what their answer has been to representations made by our govern- ment. We do know that the ilrat contingent is still on Salisbury Plains. We tlo know that the task of transport- ing (rout. numbers of troops thousands of miles across the Atlantic le fraught with very unusual danger, that a ruth-

llized warfare would consider it a master stroke if it could. by any means, sink a transport with Canadian troops. We do not know what the plans of the war office are. or why they have not asked for more Canadian volunteers. lt ls not our business to know now. We could not be told with- out telling the enemy.

ls there in any man’s mind an honest doubt as to where

Canada stands ln this war? ls there it man who does not know in his own heart that our every resource iii men anti money is at the disposal ot' the Empire. because we are of thc Empire, and our very existence ai-i a free people de- pends on the upholding of the Empire? ls there room for

honest. doubt that the imperial authorities do not know where Caiiatla stands? lt would mightily heartcn and inspire an Empire spirit in Canada if the war office would intimate a willingness and a preparedness to take 500,000 men to make up that second contingent army of 1,000,000. But thc second army of 1,000,000 is not being raised in the United Kingdom because she cannot get men from Canada. We do not know why the war office has not asked Canada for 500,000 or oven 100,000 men. We have confidence iii the

war oflice that it knows best what it i_s doliig. We do not know why the Canadian Government is not recruiting 500.000 men. We believe it is acting for what is forthe best and following the advice of the \vur ofiice. lt is sheer chiltiishness to suggest that the masses have not every confidence in the Borden government, in the energetic determination ol' our govrnment to do all that loyal statesnien can do to promote the Empires inter- est in co-operation with the Ilonie governnieiit.

l)URATl0N 0F THE WAR

The London Standard quotes some French officers as

prophcsying that the war will last until September, 1916. This prophecy is founded on the character of the struggle in Northern Friiiice anti Belgium where hall’ a battalion of int-.ii are killed or wounded to gain a hundred yards or so ot` ground which may be lost again the next day to an enemy ready to pay a like price for it. This sort of thing may not last long, however, among other reasons, because. however determined thc soldiers may be. there is rt llniit to the power oi' the people behind them to keep their ranks full anti their supplies sufficient. The weaker countries will surely break inside of the time mentioned.

The strength of the British Empire has been taiigibly

tlenionstrated within the past; few days when the llouse of Conimoiis, ivithout dissent anti almost without debate. voted a war credit ot' $1,125.000,000. made provision through ati increase in the taxes for more than meeting the interest on tht- loans that will have to be made, aiitl authorized the increase in the armed forces of the country of a million ineii. \\’hen ti loati of $1,750,000,000 to provide for past out- liiys anti coiiiiiig requirements was offered it was subscribed almost twice over, and on terms which make the rate of interest markedly lower than any of the enemy countries could hope to obtain. The circnnistaiices in connection with thc loan indicate that patriotism as well as the high credit of‘the country had its purt in producing llie result.

The Allies as well as the enemies of Great Britain will

note that, the war having been t-ntt-rt-.d upon. all thc iiatioii`s strength will be put i'oi'ili to bring it to the desired con- t-lui-sion.

l-`roni the wt.-stt-i~ii theatre ot' war there conics only ti rep-

etition ol' reports of nttitt-.ks anti tzouiitcr-attacks, sonietinies in favor ol tht- Allies, sonttitinies to the advantage of the encmy. ’l`iit- opt-ning ot' tht-. sluit-e gates of the Ypres Canal and the ilootliiig anti tit-strnctioii of ii considerable section of the iielti oi` opt-rations was a desperate act by the Bel- Ltiaus to t-ht-ck tht- iiivtttlers_ It had its effect in making operations iinpossililt-_ in tht- nrt-a, and cttusetl the Germans the loss of some artillery and material. What disarranged the invatlt-rs' plans. however, also served to prevent the Allies from operating with any ei’l`ect in the flooded region. This meant no rt-lieef for tht-. soldiers, however. Along other piirts of the line attacks ot' persistent violence were matlt-_ 'l`lit- lists ol' killt-ti anti wouiitletl officers given out stigge.-it that. tht- casuallit-s ol` the liritisli forces in seven fifty-S' iiiilliiilil must have been tniitc ten tliousniiti iiit-.ii. The Gt-riiia||s_ lit-ing gt-.iit-.rally the attarkiiig party, niust have lost. most lit-_a.vi|_v, and as the llritish ot-ciipy only ;i gmail st-riion of the t-ntire fighting front, it. t-an be nntlcrslood what their losses in l-*rt-nice anti lit-.lgiuiii must liavt- lit-t-.n. That on the whole the enemy appears to have lost groiintl fiiifilllt the past i`t-w days iiitiy he due as inucli to thc weak- ening oi` their .strength through casualties anti tliseast- ng through tht- tnoveineiit of troops to the castt-rn lit-ltl.

in rcixartl to the fcctliiig of tier population, Gt-rinaiiy will

sooner or later be in a tight corner. Site has been accus- tomed to import about a fourth of her grain supplies, anti all oi' this has now been cut. off. Site has lost. also her winter supplies oi' herring, and her trade with Denmark and Holland in agricultural protluce, though it will still go on, inust suffer severe restriction. Once iiialnly an agricultural and footl-producing country, Germany has in tht- last thirty years becoinc largely an industrial nation, and the tact is going to tell heavily against her in the course of this war. The prospects of the Allies. on the other hand, are excellent. So long as the seas are ltcpt open, we can draw on inoxhaustible store ol' food-stuffs t'i'oin iiiiroad. llussia, with lit-r enormous agricultural production, sitnply cannot be starved; and the war. while it has ravngetl ii considerable set-.tion of Northern industrial Fraiice, ha.-i left untouched the main agricultural regions, anti what loss there has been can be made good by imports, gtiarnnlt-ctl and protected by the British aiitl l-‘rciich fleets.

DONT “TREAT’ SOLDIERS

'l`||t- i.ontlon Press lltireuu has issued llie following

appeal on bt-.liiilf oi' l.ord l{itcliener_-" The men who have rt-ct-ntl_v joined the colours are doing their utmost. to prepare tht-nist-lves for active service with tht- least pos- sible tit-lay. This rcanlt can only be nt-.hievetl if, by hard work ami strict .=iohrlct_v, they keep tlieniselves thoroughly lit tind lit-nltliy. Lord Kitchener appeals to the public, both men and women, to help the soldiers in their task. lie bt-git everyone to avoltl treating the men to drink and to give them every assistance in resisting the temptations which tire often placed before them. Lord Kitchener sug- gests that in the iioighbourlioods where soldiers are snititnied committees should be formed to educate public opliilon on this subject and bring home its importance to those who tio their duty to their country in a thoroughly cllitzlcnt tiiaitncr."

__N_‘!T£§__

Great. Britain has lent Belgium $50,000,000, without

interest, until thc ond of the war. We have u suspicion aa to who will pay this inoney ihcti.

The city of Edmonton. with some forty or fifty thousand

inhabitants, has a municipal and school debt of some $28,000,000, less about a million and a half invested in sink- ing funds. 'l‘he`revenue an estimated by the local press is likely next year to be $2,750,000, and out of it must come $1,818,000 for interest and debt charges. Some of the mun- icipal services will have to bc pinched if their cost is to be kept within the balance. Towns and cities as woll as in- dividuals must have miacalculated the local growth in the

western country.

THE LUBSTER FISHERY

(CONTINUED FROM PAGE TWO)

ate "regardless of consequences" and let you or some storekeeper carry a had debt on his books into eternity. Some fishermen will work for a sea- son to be fed at a cookhouse for two or three months and live on charity until another year comes rotintl, but such men tio not represent the aver- age.

'l`lit- intlepcndent man and the aver-i

age fislicrnian will appreciate being told now what to expect and they will likely prefer to turn their attention to some other line of the fishery, to their farm or to some trade. Would they not be justified in petitioning the Government for a close season for Canning Lobsters as a means of pro- tecting their own interests and future supplies?

With the fishermen as with packers

and buyers there exists that feeling that one must. follow whatever lead the other makes, but should all the in- dependent men, who are almost invar- iably the best, suffer because some thrlftless neighbor insists on fishi-~" Shoulti a packer who prosecutes his business on business principles oe forced to pack in self~defence because some other one pays he will do so “re~ gardless of consequences '."`

lt has been argued that some int-ii

will fish and others will noi. so that those who tio will bt.-. able to get a living e\'cii at a low price. lsn’i. this sttttenient opt-ii to questioii? 'l‘lie dani- iigt- tloiit- to the t'ui.tire supply of' loli- stt-rs will be just an grt-ut.. A but-tiiit-ss that has been worth ovt-t' i`oiir millions uiitiually to this l)omiiiioii will i't-.pre- sent. uiitler such conditions barely half ol' that amount to the tzotintry and yet deplete the future flsiit-ry quite as niuch as ii. tlitl when realising the

larger amount.

lii any case some say fewer fisher-

men will nieun a smaller pack. Divide a. smaller pack anioiig all the factories now opt-.ratctl and tht.-.re will be big

overliead expenses for its all.

l.t-ave matters as they ore, when li-

ce-.iises are generally supposed to bt- grnntetl only while factories rt-main opt-railve ttiirl the packt-.rs wlio tio not operntt- run the risk ol' lit-ing unable l.o get licenses again. lluw iiiitiiy i'i\t~- lorles will rt-inaiit tziost-tl for at strttsotii'

Aftt-r tht- t-xperit-tit-.te we have had since 1908 til' t-.ont.lnuall_v advniicliig prices, if war ct-asetl anti financial con- tlitioiis improvetl many of us would ex- pect prices to advance similarly in the future, btit with the same spirit. of competition thc packers would be an- ticipating that utlvaince and much of the advantage that some packers now - feel possible would be destroyed for

them.

My argument is clearly for a clone

_season during 1915 and these are after all selfish reasons for buyers, packers and fishermen. The only argument that l have yet lit-ard against it, is that these are hard times; wc tlon't wish to he deprived of anytliliig that gives us tt chalice to live aiitl "half it loaf is better than no, brt-ati." Tliit-i l t-an fully syliipatliiso with. lltiwevcr, the lobster business averages but three months out ot' the twt-.lvt-._ The aver- age man in this indust/gv is capublc of other \vork and it is no conipllinent to us to he told that we are not flt for

any other occupation or lndustry.

While all of ua will stiffer by having

the factories closed nnd some ol` our fishermen may not. bt-. able to make as much money in 1915 as they have been acctistoinetl to, the factory hands and other employees-like myself-will likely suffer the tnosi. Still, I belicvt-_ that most buyers, packers, factory hunda, employees antl fishermen will during 1915 be able to attempt some other line uiitl llntl employment in these other branches during the length

of thc usual season.

By 1916 lf' the lobsters are allowetl

it rest for a year there should be a good supply of lobsters obtainable. The Government are anxious to test this means of conservation. They have often been requested to t:lose_ down ilie factories. ln 1915 it can be done with less hardship involved upon ua than at any other time and in 1916 the markets should again be in a re- ceptive mood. finances easier, the fish- ermen fully recouped for their losses of 1915 anti even ourselves more ready io conduct a sane business than bo-

fore.

The solution of the present diil“lcul~

ty lies with those of ua who are tmw in the trade. We believe the fisher- men will endorse and support our ef- forts when they know how conditions are and there ia no reason why they should not be taken fully into our con- _ lldence. ' lf we act thus in concert with each

other and decide to petition the Gov- ernment to suspend all Canning ll- censes for the coming eeaeon we will be placing ourselves on record ae de- siring the conservation of the industry and will be protecting the value of _ Canned Lobsters for the future benefit of the fishermen and ourselves. We will be making a virtue out of our

net-eeeity_ .
