GERMAN ON CANADA ’

llerr Bernhard Dernhttrg, formerly German Minister

for the Colonies, in a letter to ti Pliiladelpiiiii. paper says:

"The fact that Canada has taken part in this Blriltlttlc

has opened up it new perpectlvc to A mericans. ll is t will'ul breacli of the Monroe Doctrine for an American self- governing dominion to go to war, iiiereby exposing the Ani- ericnn continent to a counter-attack from Europe and risk- ing to disarrange the present equilibrium, But l think America can set her mind at rest on that point. l at least would most emphatically say that no matter what happens the Monroe Doctrine will not be violated by Gerniany eith-

er iii North America or in South America."

Mr. Dcrnburg adds that when site emerges triumph-

ant front the war "there will be enough property of her an- tagonists lying about over the four parts of the globe to keep Germany front the necessity" of overrunning (‘anatin and creating trouble with' the llnitetl States.

As a matter oi fact. says an exchange there ia nothing

in thc Monroe Doctrine or in any early or late interpreta- tion of it iorhitiding Canada or any other New World trol- ony of a European tuition from going to its uid in time of war.

Caiiutllans do not trouble themselves mitch about the

Doctrliie, but justify their action in sending troops to ilglit on the British side on the ground that it is a natural and pro- per tliing, anti was so considered by the Americans them- selves when they were colonists of England; so good an American as Benjamin Franklin testifying at tli bar of the House oi Commons in 1766 that they were willsig. not on- ly to co-operate with the Mother (‘ountry in tier wars a- gainst France ovcr Canada. bitt to aaaiat her to the best of their ability in her Old World campaigns.

i_ir. D.-rnburg devotes a good deal of space to Bel-

gium anti to the modern German theory that it is allowable, where on its judgment a change of circumstances has oc- curred l'or n nation to repudiate its treaties however aote- inn. He seems to think that Germany has been the first to discover that a treaty with a weak neighbor is only "it scrap of paper" and to act on that infamous as- sumption. lliatory tells us, however, that in the controversy with certain weak neigh- bor the Atheniane declared that "Justice is to be applied whgn the forces on each side are equal; but what the

BRIGHTER VIEW TAKEN OF SALT AND PICKLED FISH.

I-lALlI~‘A.\', Nov. 28.-The dry and

salt fish innrket presents it much more promising aspect and the prices of cod is more ilriit. The reason for the brighter view taken of the trade is that the salt fish year has now ended and consequently there will be no more stock accumulating and it quiet. and steady demand would eventually ile- plete the stock now in hand and force

the prices higher.

Already there has been a slight ad-

vance. Two cargoes of cod from Lun- enburg were purchased withiit the, past few days at $6 per quintal, which price is a good deal higher than what shore cod has been fetching. $5 is being paid for tlte latter. Newfound- land cargoes have been selling at $0 and over and small lots of shore cod has been coming in aiitl is going tit

from $5 to $5.25.

Mackerel are tltili. $7 is being paid

for a bnrrt-,l ot` large 3':-i and about $9 to $10 t`or ful tiiuckerei. This line has tlecliiietl iii vulite tluring thc past niontii. Last your fat inackerel were

worth around $15 per,barrel.

Herring are ull in from the shore

and the price is unchanged at $3.50. There are a few fat Newfountllantl

herring coming in.

North Brazil is now taking a few

cargoes ot' cod, but South Ilrazil is not taking any as money is scarce there. (foil oil is unchanged anti is selling

around 28 cents pei' gallon. ~

KlPLING'S TRIBUTE

T0 CANADIANS.

LONDON, Nov. 26.-A pleasing coni-

pllinent was paid to the men of the Canadian contingent by Rudyard Kip- ling, who, in subsequently discussing with uit officer his visit to the camps at Salisbury Plains, made the follow- ing observation:

“We have seen one hundred iine

_men together very often. and sonic- times we have seen one thousand to- gether, but. never before have we seen thirty thousand 'ot' otir very best men together."

The men of the fotir battalions now

at Bastard (lamp will occupy their new huts nt Lark Hill, two miles away, wltliiii a week.

The necessity for winter quarters

is emphasized by the fiict that sick- ness due to tianip t-oiiditious, is t-oii- alderably on the lnci'ent-ie. The ileld hospitals are busy, although the ill- iiesses are mostly of ti niiiior nature, toothttclic being one of the most trott- hlesomc.
