THE NAVAL BA'l"l`l.E
As fiuiher details _of th`e__great,naval battle in the
North Sepj reach us our faith'-in the superiority of'.t.he British Npvy, ship for ship, over that of Germany. remains tmshaken. The bald: official report at first received merely stated our losses, which were oFficially known by the Admiralty, giving also! fragmentary re- ports of eyewitnesses of the enemy’s known and pro- bable losses. Nothing was said of the relative sizes or of the number of ships engaged. lt now transpires ‘that the British squadron was a detached squadron of battle cruisers, cruisers and torpedo boat destroyers. There was not a dreadnought or .1 battleship among thetn. The German fleet, on the other hand was their iu'ain North Sea fleet and consisted of dreaduoughts and heavy battleships as \vell as smaller craft. In the first encounter our ships were at a serious disadvantage and their losses were heavy, but that they put up a noble and gallant fight is indicated by the fact that among the enemy ships destroyed was Germany’s new- est and heaviest dreadnought as \vell as a greater num- ber of craft of all sizes than we lost.
There is considerable criticism in the British press
over the fact that a squadron of the size of that en- gaged in this case should have been in a position to be overtaken by a tierman fleet. This criticism, some of which has appeared in the Guardian, may or may not be just. lt is perhaps a case of “being wise after the event." lt will be remembered that after some of the raids on the coast cities of li.ngland and Scotland the .'\<lmiralty was severely censured for not having the fleet so disposed that every mile of the coast would be protected. The disposition of the fleet was accord- ingly altered to meet this demand and the battle of last \\"ednesday night was one of thc results. l"robahl_v had the fleet not been divided up as it had been other
raids on the British Coast might have resulted. The"
outcome of the affair will probably be that hereafter
the .f\dmiralty will he strong enough to make its o\vn~the province could very much better afford its upkeep
dispositions regardless of criticism. The insistent dc- mand for the return of Baron Fisher to the Admiralty points to such an outcome and indicates an mvakening to the fact that both the .»\dmiralty and the \\'ar Ufiice must henceforth he dominated by experienced sea lords
and soldiers who will shape their respective courses onlpenitentiaries, have their spiritual needs attended to by
sea and land by their own personal knowledge of the conditions which govern battles on sea or land, uninflu- enced by political constituencies or other considera- tions. Thcre may have beenlmistakes, there doubtless
have been, but when the story of the war is written if] given an opportunity to work off their criminal or im-
will probably be found that few of tlicnl were made either by the admirals of the navy or the commanders in chief of the armies.
lt is especially interesting, in the light of what is
now definitely known, to read the comments pliblislietl in the llritisli press on the day after the battle when the outcome was looked upon as something perilously approaching defeat if not disaster. The London Times said: '
"Knowing the temper _of these people, as we do,
we have not the slightest shadow of a doubt what the;'Society is well maintained by a government grant of
effect will be. lt will sting them to fresh exertion and dispel much 'idle, harmful optimism and steel their unalterable resolution tp win this war or perish. That has ever been the effect of untoward fortune to our race when they enter on a quarrel which they know to be just. It will be the consequence now, as friends and foes will speedily discover."
The Daily News, declaring it is not framing judg-
ment on the assignment of responsibility for the dis- aster, declares that the demand for the return of Baron Fislier to effective control of the navy must become insistent. Alt says “This is to say that it involves no reflection on llalfour, jackson, or any individual ofiicer in \\’hitehitll or the North Sea, but one serious danger the result of the battle may entail is the diminution of confidence, however ill it is founded, in the adminis- tration of the navy. No single event would more effectively counter such a danger _if it exists, than the return of Fislier to the Admiralty. The country needs him in this urgent hour.”
The Telegraph continuing says, “a portion of our
fleet mr/ t/li' entire farce of the (irrnmu /iiyh .rm Flr.'i‘l. _to look after them as criminals.
Yesterday four boys between the ages of ten and
thirteen were up before the Stipendiary Magistrate charged with theft. The case was continued over until today, Asito ,the guilt _or innocence of these children 'we know little and the remarks we are about to make have no special reference to their case, but to similar cases which occur from time to time in our midst.
The idea appears to be growing _'among boys of
criminal tendencies that they are immune from punish- mlent. This idea, unfortunately, is being' fostered by the fact that a “judicial warning" usually constitutes the punishment inflicted for serious offences. As long as the average boy considers himself immune from pu.- nishment-either parental or judicial-so long will he continue to indulge his mischievous propensitics. In _the case of boys who are criminally inclined their con- tinuous escape from punishment is nothing more nor less than an education in criminality. Unfortunately in this province of ours \ve have at present nothing in sight except to continue the criminal education of those who have been unfortunate in their birth and pareptagc; topermit them to go on from had to worse and when ‘they are old enough' to send them to the penitentiary or to the scaffold. 'To send boys under sixteen years of age to jail would be a crime and in all probability would only tend to confirm their crimi- nal tendencies. 'I`here is one remedy available, one that is in many ways objectionable and resort to which would not be creditable to the province, nam_ely, to send our juvenile criminals to one or another of the Reformatories in the neighboring provinces, a course which we understand is open to the 1\l:\gistrate,,tlie cost of transportation and maintenance being paid by the government. The objectionable features of such a course need not be enumerated but with all its objec- tions it were better to avail ourselves of it than to per- sist in our present method of systematically and judi- cially training our unfortunate waifs to lives of crime.
/\ Provincial Reformatory has been advocated and
than it can afford to let the few criminally inclined boys among us drift on hopelessly until they pass through our courts to the peiiitcntiary. Any objec- tions to such an institution on religious denominational grounds could be overcome as 'is being done in our
'clergymen of the differentidenoniinations' at such times as might be mutually agreed upon. Such a reforma- tory under judicious management, with a farm attach- 'ed in the care of whichthe youngsters would he
moral energies, would do much' for the few unfortu- nate’s amongst its and would redeem the province and its people from the guilt of letting these unfortunates go to the bad. ,
The Children’s /\id Society can do notliing for
juvenile offenders. Theirs is an entirely different work and they are doing it quietly and efiectively. ‘|'l`hey have during the past year found homes for thir- teen children -who had been left destitute by death or, 4-what is infinitely worse, by inhuman parents. This
'$500 supplemented by a grant of $150 from the City, ‘and a small, a very_ small, contribution from charitable lindividuals, To save thirteen children from hunger 'and privation and to place them in homes where they ‘will be guarded from the evil influences of the street and given a fair chance to become useful and respec- .table men and women is a sufficient justification for the
ismall expenditure made for the maintenance of this "Society, It is also a clear call for a more generous
vincc.
To save even "one of these little ones" is an -act of
Christian duty while “it were better that a millstone were hanged about his neck and that he be cast into the midst of the sea" who “causes one of these little ones to offend"-or what is just as bad--\vho leaves in their path causes for offending which it is in our power to remove. Our helpless and destitute orphans and waif s are being well looked,after by the Children’s Aid So-
afler our moral tlelinqueuts before we are compeller
ciety; we owe it to ourselves and the future to fool? Y' a

McCormick New Binder
The McCormick New Binder lsespecially designed and constructed for
harvesting conditions on P. E. l.., and is made to meet the most exacting condition of the grain crops successfully year after year.
The McCormack binder is a very easy running machine. The frame is
substantially new built and well braced, another reason why the McCor- mack binder runs so easy is that the working bearings are in self’ allghting boxes fitted with roller bearings, that is why a McCormack binder will run lighter the longer lt is used. , _
The McCormae new binder embodies several special features to perfect its
work in the field by having a level hotto platform and reel with double bearing und large range ot adjustments, which enables it to handle short or down and tangled grain almost to perfection.
The Mc(`.ormaek new binder elevator floats at three points, and there-
fore has the large capacity required for handling heavy grain. The plat- form and elevator canvasses\:n'e tightened and loosened by a. simple device on the rollers, the butter on a McCormac new binder is controlled by the drlver from the seat. and can be changed for short or long graln without ln- terferlng with position, ot’ the twine on the shear. Note the steel dlsc_in the point, the needle to prevent wear and the cutting off of twlne.The McCormack knotter is one ol the simplest knotters made, having only two moving parts -the twine disc and hlllhook. every knotter is thoroughly tested before be- ing shipped. This tact, together with the simple construction, accounts 'tor the excellent work of’ the McCormne. Knotter in the field.

Cormack local agent.
