Between Charlottetown and Summerside, for example, there are a _ dozen or more road branches all of which _ excelpt one, are the wrong road to the de- sire destination and the unwary traveller is pretty sure to take any but the right toad. This is true of other sections as well, as has been discovered not only by 'strangers but by residents. A painted board _with a finger indicating “To Charlot- tetoygvn,” “To Summerside," _“To George- town`,”1'etc., would remove the difficulty savelitime, strengthen the morals of travel- lersiand earn the gratitude of the travelling ubl_1_c. __ The cost would be comparative- fy t ` fling while the benefit would be very considerable. Who will start this move- ment andibring it to a head? The Autoino- bile Associations of Summerside and Char- lottetown, acting in conjunction, could have the roads safely charted with littlf trouble. _ _ THE WAR "_ Most encouraging is the war news com- ing in these days. Yesterday’s news of the great _counter-offensive under General Haig, in which our own Canadians are en- 83,8`<:§d, and the almostunparalleled pro - gress made, shows that the hammering giv- en farther south on the Marne front has liada demoralizing effect upon the whole German front. What is to follow can only be vaguely surmised. The Germans will Erobably retire on a very wide front, pro- _abl`y from the whole semi-circle formed by the present line from Arras, Amiens ,M9l'ltdidier, Soissons and Rheims. How far this retirement will carry them remains 1 to b5see`n. "In any case they are being Whipped and they will within the next few days have lost all the ground taken by them in theoffensive begun on March 21. The retirement will shorten the German line very, considerably thus concentrating the batge that is certain to follow their con -_ soli _ation wherever they make their stand. It; may safely be inferred from the pre- sentiaspect of the battle that the whole line from the English Channel to Switzerland has-been affected by the two recent drives, and. that a movement along the whole line will`;take` place. _ _ That the German army is becoming de- _moiylized and its morale waning under the _disgtiioiis -blows received in the past three we _ s may well be assumed. They are be- ingiwhipped and they know it; they are go- inggaiown the hill and the momentum will increase as they go. It is useless to anticipate. The war is by no means over. .The Germans will dig in on a line* farther back and another winter campaign is by no means improbable.” _Should they dig in and put up a sufficiently stiff defence to prevent completion of the job before winter sets in we have the con- solation of knowing that while they are hibernatiiig in the trenches, the Allied _forces are being strengthened by rein - forcements from the overseas dominlons ,and from the United States. _ 11,' _ The end is in sight, but through the ismoke of many a battle yet to befought and while looking towards the end and the fiiltiinate victory we remember with min- gled feelings of pride and anxiety that our _own Canadian 'sons are sharing in the glory and the danger. _ _. . “God save our splendid men, Bring them safe home again; - suit o_f the elusive item by their determined, I' if futile, attempts, to locate “type _lice_.’_’ _ f° _ G0 been said: ‘fThe poor ye have always with _P protective tariff upon large classes of goods, ZI‘€€.

He is also 1 bad loser. He wants to play always with itacked cards. He violates the rules of var when he se-es advantage to himself in /iolating them. But as soon as he begins ‘zo suffer from their violatipn he begins to iractices. _ , The people of the Rhine cities are getting :ick of aerial bombardments. They see ;hat they are slated for the experiences vhich the French and English cities have ieen undergoing for the last four years at 'he hands of German Gothas and Zeppe- ins. They doii’t subscribe enthusiastical- `y to the theory that what is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. Herr Narun, a Deputy in the Baden Landtag, implores the Baden Government o urge the imperial authorities to come to in agreement with the Allies for an aban- :lonment of bombardments of towns out-` side zones of military operations. He uses the argument, hitherto treated withcyni- cal contempt in Berlin, that aerial attacks ‘on places behind the front serve no military purpose and result only in the killing of non-combatants-most of them women and children. 1 It is a good argument. But what Ger- man in authority would ever listen to it while Germany was enjoying a monopoly of this kind of murder? - ‘ NOTES Blessed are the peacemakers-those who are engaged in the battle line in bring- ing an end to the war. ’ _ p-__ God Save Our men.” “The German people is destined for ,_ _ I .`\'~ THE EDITOR’S CIIAIR 5_~y__ In Saskatchewan they’re talking of sup- iggmenting “ye editor’s easy chair” by es- ~ _ lishing a chair of 'ournalism in the pro- great things,” says_ the Kaiser.

After Monday -the p_1'-ice per ton will be the same as it was up to today. In other words the increase in fre-isht rates will increase the price of coal to the ex-tent of the advance in rates. The -twenty per cent increase in price will have to be borne entirely by the local dealers whose expenses or profits must be cut by just the-t amount.
