Even if the town were destroyed it would not by any means open a way to the heart of France which, ostensibly, is the ob- jective. It would, however, give the Germans some-_ thing to boast about to their people, something to

The great need of the world to-day is efficiency,

and efficient labour can command its own wage. Here in our littleprovince there is less variety of oppor-= tunity for young men than in the larger centres, but we are by no means without our opportunities. The.- work heretofore done by some two thousand men is to be carried on by those who are left. It is up to

something also to quiet the uneasy consciousness among the common people that Germany -is after all not going -to win the war. i

There are significant reports from Holland, how-

ever, that may indicate developments which will have a marked effect upon the future of the \var. Holland has suffered much from German piracy. Many of her ships have been sunk by German submarines. She has suffered much and complained but little. Recently, as our despatches told she had formally protested to the Central Powers against the wanton destruction of her ships and the damage to her commerce from thc activities of German raiders. Our despatches this morning seem to indicate that Holland has reached the limit of endurance. indignation has taken the place of protest and the people have risen 'in their wrath. The military unloaded a train filled with

selves to the work they undertake that the work will be done better than ever before and that the province _ shall not be any the poorer materially because of the temporary loss of so many of its men. There is no room under the new order of things for the shirker, for tl\c man who keeps one eye on the clock and the other on his work, no room for the man who refuses to do his best because he thinks hislwork is worth. more than his wage. _ This is a time of opportunity such as we have never before experienced, a time for rebuilding our province, for rebuilding ourselves and for fitting our- selves into the new conditions which have been thrust upon us. The race is not to the swift nortlte battle to the strong, but to the honestly eflicient and Ht. _This is our testing time and our opportunity. `

vegetables bound for Germany. All exports from- no _

Holland have been prohibited and some have been stopped in transit. The navy and army are both being put in readiness for eventualities, and it would appear as if the eventualities were-about\to be realized. llol- land has until nowrcmained strictly neutral. She has protested against German injustice, but her protests were unheeded. Now her patience is exhausted and it would not be a surprise if within-the next few days she loo would be drawn into the caldron that now involves practically all of Europe.

\\'l_1at would Holland's entry into the \var mean?

There is no doubt as to which side she would throw in her lot with. Lying right across the English Channel from England, her entry into the war would mean the opening of her ports to the Allies. England could pour troops through the ports of Holland at the rear of the German army. The opening of Holland would, judging from the geographical situation, solve many difficulties for the' Allies, not so much from the _help which the Dutch army and navy would give them, which would be considerable, but for the oppor- tunities for landing troops at points which would seriously threaten the flank and rear of the German army. The outcome of this new phase will be anxious~ ly awaited.

. QU! UPPURTUNITIES

The calling away of so many of our young men for

military service has left many vacancies in the com- mercial agricultural, industrial and professional ranks in this province; vacancies which, as nearly as possible, must be filled by those \vho remain.` To_ fill some two thousand or more vacincies, however, is no easy task and many of them will certainly remain unfilled.

There are the usual complaints from some sections*

about the roads, complaints this year belated somewhat beyond the usual season, as the storms have been- belated. Such complaints are not peculiar to this or any year, to the present or any other road system. " They are perennial and the causes for them are also ‘ perennial. ‘ _ ' The heavy snowstorm of last week was followed by a thaw which rapidly converted the newly fallen i snow into water and the roads in many places into waterways. Where roadmasters anticipated this and provided for it by opening watercourses along the sides of the road there was no trouble. _\Vhere this was _lneglected there was serious trouble, -in some cases _the flives of horses being ¢ndangered and their drivers
