With the opening of the month of Sep-
tember the one great event looked forward
to is the Provincial Exhibition. The ad-`
vertisement of this year’s exhibition, which
has been running in The Guardian for some
days past gives some idea of the program'
that has been prepared and it will be seen'
at a glance that the promise is for the big-I
gest exhibition in the history of the prov-'
ince. I
There are many reasons why this yea; I
exhibition should be our biggest yet. First'
and greatest is the fact that it is the only '
exhibition in the Maritime Provinces this
season. St. John and Halifax, in previous
-years, furnished all the exhibition our New
Brunswick and Nova Scotia friends looked
for. This year, the privilege denied them
at home, they will come here. Second, our
crops this year are among the biggest and
best in our history. . Those desiring to se: I
what the Garden of the Gulf can do in the
matter of raising bumper crops will attend;
the exhibition. Third, there will be five'
days’ horse racing in which the coinpetit-
ors will be the speediest horses in the Mar-
itime Provinces. There have been several'
interesting horse races in the province dur-I
ing the present summer, just enough to
whet the appetites of our horse-lovers for
the biggest event of all at the Charlotte -
town Exhibition.
In addition to these attractions and oth-I
ers which might be mentioned, the inan-
agement has secured,a variety of enter-
tainments for the amusement of spectat-
ors on the grand stand, and have madeev-
ery possible arrangement to make this
year’s exhibition the greatest in the his-
tory of the province. _
There undoubtedly/ will be -a large at-
tendance from the neighboring provinces.
but the management are preparing to fur-
nish accommodation ,for all who come by
enlisting the co-operation of all who can
provide lodging and meals during exhibi-
tion week.
The exhibition is the Island’s biggest ev-
ent in any year; it is everybody’s day and
everybody should look forward to it as
something in the making and the success
of which they can help by talking it up, by
exhibiting if possible, and especially by at-
tending. .
All citizens who can accommodate vis-|
itors during those days, when the hotels
cannot possibly accommodate all, will be
helping themselves, the city and the Exhi-
bition Management, by handing in their
names to Mr. C. R. Smallwood, Secretary
of the Exhibition Association, ~

In reading the names of towns and vil-
lages captured by the Allies in France it
is difficu t, even while closely following the
map, to see the strategy and the meaning.
Names of places, unfamiliar to the lay
reader, follow each other in bewildering
succession and the struggle appears to be a
maze of, slaughter with no.deiinite strategy
exceptfto' kill or capture Germans and ob-
tain possession of more towns and villages..
lll OUT ‘l@SP§t0ll'€S y@SleI`<l2y the fall Oflstanding nearby slipped into it, The drunk-
Noyon and Bapaume was recorded along
with a,number of others. It will be re-
membered that these places were reported
a week ago as about to be captured.
, French military critics pointed out that
Bapaunie could have been taken two days
ago, but that the British prefer to man -
oeuvre the Germans out of it.
The well-known writer, Col. Fabry,
shows why it is essential for the enemy to
desperately defend the 'way to Douai and
Cambrai. --
iThose who argue that the world is witnes -
much spec_ulation both in London and Par-
is. Broadly, the military experts are div-
ided into two camps. Some believe that
_ Marshal Foch is strking a number of ham-
nter blows with the object of weakening
_thi enemy numerically, and as regards po-
,sitions and morale, preparatory to a deci-
Isive blow at some absolutely vital spot.
,Others think that at present the generalis-
ysinio; is endeavoring to disorganize what is
|really a great German retreat or intention
Ito retreat on large sectors, being-content
to reap the rich fruits of this disorganiza-
tion in the shape of big hauls of prisoners
and material and to allow later results to
guide him in a matter of more decisive ac-
tion this year.

sing the preliminaries ‘to a decisive stroke
base their belief on the fact that the Allies
'presumably are employing very consider-
able forces, in the aggregate, in the pres-
ent battles, that they are exploiting their
gains to the utmost, and that they already
are threatening vital enemy positions. They
think also that it would be folly not to push
to the last degree this year the immense
advantage of Allied initiative, superior
morale and enthusiasm for- an ‘offensive
especially among the Americans.
Other considerations pointed out, apart
from weighty political reasons, are that
the Germans still have many divisions in
Russia and possibly may ,have still more
divisions prepared for a surprise enterprise
this year, on some other front. Hence, it
is argued, it is not absolutely certain that a
better cliancewill be offered in 1919, for
the German front in the west is now more
or less fairly “liquid-”
()I"I~`I(‘I .\ I. (‘()llIt'l‘I‘]S\'
We note by our United States exchanges
that Mr. McAdoo, the Director General of
Railways in that country, is oflicially in-
vestigating rumors of “widespread and
growing discontent on the part of the trav-
sling public with the treatment accorded
it by railway employes.” One exchange
remarks that “some of the reported rude-»
ness, impertinence and insolence may have
worked its way down from high ofiicial
quarters as a consequence of the govern-
ment’s assumption of authority over the
corporations.” '
The complaints reaching Mr. McAdoo
were that “employes are not treating the
public with as much consideration and
railroads as under private control.” _
A similar complaint is frequently heard
in Canada. The man who meets with an
act of discourtesy on the part of an em -
ploye of any system, usually blames the
system, not the-man. The truth is that thc
man and not the system is at fault.
In Canada, on Government Railways, as
on company railways,' one meets with
courtesy and _ discourtesy; with well-in-
formed and ill-informed ofiicials. They were
neither made courteous nor discourteous,
neither well-informed nor ill-informed, by
the systems under which they worked. Un-
fortunately some men are discourteous by
nature and by early training; fortunately
also the majority of those who reach res-
ponsible positions are naturally the other
way and, on the whole, W`hi1e unquestion-
ably there are exceptions, the courteous
man or woman travelling over Canadian or
United States railways and steamers meets
with much more courtesy than the re-
