A MOST WOR'l`llY OBJECT 
The various newspapers in the provtnco.h;vB ,been
appealed to for assistance in raising a Regimental 'Fund
for the 2nd Siege Ai-tilelry_Battery, P.B.l., now quartered
to -thoattention of the people ot Prince Edwurd_Td@and.
The Battery ls the first and, so far, the only unit 
.forward in the name of the Province. and will belookod
‘upon as the direct representative.. ot the island in Eng-
land and subsequently at the trout. Every regiment and
every unit is provided with o special fund which may be
drawn upon for necessary and legitimate expenses which
cannot be mel (rom any other source. One Winnipeg
regiment was presented with a cheque for $50,000 by the
citizens, as a nucleus for such a fund; and St John sub-
scribed $20,000 towards a fund for the 26th Regiment.
Halifax .raised a considerable sum for the Artillery of the
2nd"Contingent, which is now in France. But for the
Island unit there is no one to appeal to except the Islanders
'themselves We cannot allow these brave island volun-
teers to leave our shores with nn empty war chest. We
petitioned the Militia Department for permission to raise
‘and oiilcer an Island unit. and it is now our duty, as well
las our pleasure. to provide the needful for the Regimental
il~`und. We feel certain the appeal has only to be made
:to meet with a ready response. We open n list to-day and
‘would urgently press its claims upon all those who can
afford to send contributions. Ninety per cent. of the
people here cannot offer any service on behalf of the
,Empire except by way of contributions. and hitherto all
appeals have been generously' responded to. This appeal
ishould be no exception, and we trust that the amount sub-
“scribed will compare favourably with those ot the other
provinces fora similar object. _
_ Mr E. G. Coombs, manager of the Bank of Montreal. has
.kindly consented to act as hon. treasurer, and all sub-
scriptions sent to him will be acknowledged in due course
_in the press. \Ve are pleased to announce that the sub-
scription list has been opened by Major A. A. Bartlett
with $100.
‘ THE FUR TRADE
We are indebted to :vlr John Hallam, President and
manager of the firm of John Hallam Limited. Toronto;
lone of the largest fur houses in America, lor an interesting
'resume ot the fur trade, which will be of special interest to
those of our readers who contemplate disposing of some
` of their surplus fur stock this season by selling their pelts.
The fur trade, says Mr Hallam, has passed through the
most remarkable year in history. Before the _war 65 to-
75 per cent. ot all the raw fur caught in Canada and the
United States was annually exported to Europe; the' two
largest fur markets of the world being London, England.
and Lelpslc. Germany. Shortly after the war broke out
the export of furs to Germany from the United States was
rendered very difiicult by the activity of the British lieet,
while the decree against " trading with the enemy " pro-
hibited exports to Germany from Canada and the British
Possessions.
The fall of 1914 found great stocks ot raw furs in
London. so that there was no demand for American furs
from t t quarter, while many dealers ln the United States
and (gods-had large stocks of raw furs ln their ware-
hnuses‘which they had failed to ship to the London June
sales of 1014. owing to the poor outlook for obtainhi51'
reasonable prices which preceded that sale, while the re-
sults 0 the June sale proved that their fears were 0nly‘|
too wes grounded. Leipsic fur merchants. who previously
were very heavy purchasers at the London sales, having'
large stocks of raw fur on hand, attempted to have the
June sales of 1914 postponed, and on refusal of the London*
merchants to grant their request. a boycott of the members
ul the Fur Merchants Association at Lelpsic was instituted
under a heavy penalty for any member of the Association i
who purchased raw furs directly or indirectly at the June
sales of that year.
- _ This fact, taken with the large offerings of furs and the
lack of purchasers. resulted in a heavy decline in prices
compared with the prices] realised for the some class of
furs`one year earlier; the result being that many fur
dealers' withdrew their stocks from the' soles, and the war
coming on shortly afterwards, left vast quantities of furs
unsold on the London market. while the American dealers
were also well stocked up with raw furs. Business in
all lines was ln a more or less demomllsed condition; many
men were out of employment. both in the United States
and Canadafand the outlook for tliolale of mullufacturedi
furs in America was far from promising, so that the raw
fur dealers were at a loss to know whether they would
be able to llnd n market lor the furrthey purchased or
not.
"Owing to these facts, some raw fur dealers withdrew
from the market for the time being. while others readiusted
their prices as tar as possible to meet _the new unpre-
cedented conditions, and purchased such fun as were
olferedldieitn for sale. Mauufacturerlof furfgarments and
retailers bought only on a hand tolmouth basis. fearing iloi

,_ anciallournal, waarqeently asked what had Great Britain
- done since thewar commenced. Our contemporary was not
slow in answering. --
‘ What has Great Britain done it asks. _Her navy. her nn-
anclal credit. and a small expeditionary army were all that
were asked bythe Allies, They would have been entirely
oooiooiod with-these. hot 'Groot iiriulo gavo imihicely
more. Her navy wiped the German menace from the seas.
lt locked up the vaunted German navy. which. without
Great Brltalirs participation could have battered Franco
into submission in a fortnight. It has removed the submar-
itions of Washington
But instead of her first expeditionary army, which total-
ed 180.000 men instead ot the 125.000 expected. sho has
placed upwards of 1.000.000 men in the ileld. without count-
ing the colonial and Indian troops, and has 2,000,000 more
in readiness. The relatively small length of her line in
northem France is quoted. But it is curious to hear from
German sources of captured Highlanders in Alsace. Rela-
tively to all the othersjlrish, Canadian, Australian, New
Zealand and Indian. the proportion of Great Britain in this
contribution is overwhelming.
But her service, in this instance voluntary, merely be-
gins here. She is the principal guarantor' for a credit here
of 8,000,000,000. But she has lent already to her allies.
Russia. Italy. Serbia. even Rumanla, more than $2,000.000,~
000. This is twice the credit we are extending, mainly for
the benefit of our own commerce with our best customers.
What has Great Britain done? What haan’t she done?
She has conquered every Gemma colony, with the did.
gle exception ot the Cameroons. now starving itself into
impotence. By her own enlightened system o! colonial gov~
ernment the Boers have wiped out the German colony in
Southwest Africa. the French-Canadians are tightlng on the
Belgian frontier, the lr-ish are. characterisitcally, lighting
in the thickest of the fray, and the supposed goditlnug Hin.
doos and Mohammedans are cleaning up all the German
political gains in Turkish Asia. And there is more than this.
If it were not for the British mastery of the sean, where
would our own export trade be? Even with an uncertainty
on the ocean, the trade which our short-sighted politicians
_grudge to the Allies, because Germany is in no positloirto
receive lt, would not exist at all. To leave out ot the argu-
ment the inviolabllity of ‘treaties and the rights of neutral
‘and peaceful nations, all the moral issues involved, on the
plain question at advantage to our present and tutors inter.
ests, can we ask ourselves. with any show of consistency
or plausibility,
