It was not for us to bewail war and its horrors; it was not for us to lament that Christianity and education had failed to put a period to all warfare; what we had to realize was that all historl’ hail taught that the forces of reaction and evil had to be met in physical conflict by the forces of progress, of liberty and of freedom. Wore the latter forces to fail it would be duo to the lethargy and indifference of those to whom had been entrusted the priceless heritage of free- dom. Sir George, in eloquent periods. showed that the action of Germany had bred a general sense of insecurity in all liberty-loving nations. War was bound to occur under such circumstances, and would always occur where the social development of a nation was far behind its economical development. Germany was a conscript nation, and every man belonged to the state. The state could do ivlint it liked with its manhood, und if it willed war every mail was at its dispo.‘.ii to witge that war to its bitter end. ln the British Empire, on the other hand. every man was free, free to serve the state, or free to remain at home in- different to the results oi' any conflict in which the Empire was engaged. It must depend upon how we used that frecdoni at the present time whether or not Britain was justified in bestowliig that liberty on her subjects. lf the response to the call for mon was not sufficient to maintain the integrity of the Empire u`nd keep the enemy from our shores; if the conscript nations were to prove victorious and deprive the Empire of its freedom and the world of its progress, there could be but one verdict of history, and that was that the Empire had not appreciated, and was not fitted to be entrusted with,_the_fre1?dom_it now en- joyed. Biil he was confident tiiat when the men and the women of the Empire sensed their responsibilities they would justify lhc British policy, and would make all the sal-rfices necessary to enable the forces of freedom and llT0f§i‘c.ss to conic out of the conflict triumphant and vic- torious. Sir George spoke for an hour-and-a-half and dur- ing the whole of the time was followed with the closest and most earnest attention. Never, perhaps, has ap ablgr or more powerful address been delivered to a Charlotte- town audience, and wo feel confident his appeal for sacrifice and personal assistance at this time of the Em- pires dire peril will hear abundant fruit. The people of Prince Edward island arc sensing their responsibilities, tlianks, in a measure, to such stirring patriotic appeals as have been made to us by such orators as the Hon. Arthur Mf~‘if~Zlien and Sir George E. Foster. A CORRECTION CORRECTED I" its M0l\fii‘1Y`S iSHl1e the Patriot claims that the average increase in lhosalarles of first class male teachers under U10 DFOSGHI F0S1nle as compared with those under Liberal it rule Mis $62. As this was allowed to go uncontradicted riot in its yesterdays issue cuts off $20 more and the increase as $42 by way of corregtigm This is niplo of the Pntrlot`s method of carrying on it con- troversy. ll is as unstable as water and as unreliable as fl ilvllillii ltl'0plii-_t. The Patriot was not only wrong in its corroi-iioii; it was wrong in its original statement. The nvcrage increase for male teachers Class 1 was §77, and for feniales $124, an average increase all round of $100 per annum. Our Contemporary pretends to be nt ii loss fo explain how the Superintendent of Education should find it neces- sary to divide up the school year for supplement purposes into two equal terms. The teachers know and appreciate the reason and as our Contemporary is unable, or uiiwil~ ding, to give the necessary information to others who are inot so well posted in educational matters, we may as well como to its relief. For a long time the school year has been divided into two terms, beginning with the half-your immediately after the summer vacation to December 31, und then from January 2 to June 30. Owing to the h¢;||. days. tho first term consisted of only 82 teaching days, while the second term consisted of 123 teaching days-'or 205 teaching days altogether. The second term was thus 41 days longer than the first, that is a teacher had 50 per cent. longer to serve in the second term than the first. This, inequality was greatly felt by teachers, especially those who took up school in the second term. The Superinten- dent repeatedly called attention to the matter, and in his Inst report said: "l pressed upon the Board of Education the advlsability of making each term to consist of five teaching months and ensuring the equitable payment of teachers in proportion to the work done. My recommen- dation was finally accepted and the change which came lnio force in December, gives us a system of payment that is just and fair to all concerned.” This was brought about by amending regulation 29 and having the term end Jan- uary 31.. By this arrangement each of the teachers must teach at least 102 days before he can earn the bonus ing to the Statute. Under the 0111 arrangement, the Pi places an cxa accord suppose the principal of Alberton resigned on December 31, he got from the Department of Education $37.50 sup- plement and $25 bonus for attendance, a total of $62.50 for 82 days work. His successor, who would have to teach 2 s ot r ctlual th t-th l b inteniient of Education, and when _they are satisfied and justice done all round, it ie not for the Patriot or any other one to protest. rin: iiussi°Ari ciiisis ' Since the beginning of this' greatest of all wars, it is doubtful if there has ever been, apparently, a more critical and anxious period than the present. From the very start. the enormous resources of Russia, in men and material were considered a favourable point. As the German forces drove through Belgium and rushed for Paris and Calais, ‘the Russian hordes poured through Poland and Galicia with strong evidence of reaching Berlin at an early date. The Allies on the western front were filled with admiration and elation at the apparently irresistible steam-roller of Russia. The Allies in the west held the foe in time to save Paris. Then came winter and the steam-roller in the east was stopped. In the spring, the Allies in the west still held. but the Germans were able to turn it great enough army against Russia to force her back. So, bit by bit, bitterly contesting every step of the retreat and keeping all forces intact, the Russians gave up all ground they had taken and have retreated into their own empire, yielding Warsaw and now Kovno to the enemy. Like the rest of the Allies. Russia was unprepared for this, great war. When the blow fell she had only a fraction of the supplies she required. Her enormous numbers. great area, and comparatively inadequacy of transporta- tion have made her task of supply much more difficult than that of her Allies. lt is this lack of supplies that has so tragically handicapped Russia in her defence against Germany and Austria. The great outstanding feature of this long Russian retreat ls the wonderful strategy of the Grand Duke in saving hispentlre army in the face of great odds and. at the same time. inflicting enormous losses on the enemy. Her army is still ready and in splendid shape to take the offensive, as soon as they can get supplies, and they are much nearer their base than are the Germans. The capture of Kovno is beginning to look very much like the end of a wild goose chase for Germany. They can‘t keep the Russian army back, except by using so large a force as to dangerously weaken their western front. That gives France and Britain the very opportuiifty to force the western front. Meantlme, the Dardanelles is fast approaching its fall, with direct aid to Russia from that quarter. ' Furthermore, it seems highly probable that Bulgaria will soon join the other* Balkan States, in a. new league. ln fact, Germany has been and is much in the position of a caged wild beast, charging first at one side and then at the other of its cage, loosening or bending a bar here or there, but always thrown back more and more exhausted. So, in this rush to the east, the capture of Warsaw and Kovno means no substantial or permanent gain, and it is probable that Russia will soon be on her heels again and taking sweet revenge. One great fact should always be borne in mind: the Allies are acting in concert, and it is a foregone conclusion that they are not going to permit the destruction or seri- ous crlppling ot' the armies of any one of them by the common enemy. That, of’ course, is just what Germany has striven for from the beginning, to destroy the Allies one at a time. ' So. in the present crisis, if such it bo, we may soon expect to see Russia reversing the tables, with double measure, on her old enemy. _ A i>A'rin0r MACHINE AGAIN _Once more the Patriot machine has frluniplied over the local Grit electorate, this time in the Fifth District of Kings. Two teams were in the running for the nomination at the Grit Convention on Wednesday at Georgetown. The local candidates were Mr W. W. Jenkins and Mr Hessian, and the Patriot machine's choice Messrs Peter McCourt, Cliarlottetowli. and Mr Horatio Nelson, Montague ‘Bridge ’i‘o the surprise of the local Liberals. the Patriot machine triumphed and the local men were turned down. The choice has fallen on two other defeated and ills- creditcd candidates. Mr McCourt's record is well kn0wn_ lie has been it candidate on one side of politics or another at almost every election for the past thirty years. and always with the same result-defeat. Mr Nclson‘s candi- dature has already been attempted to be forced on the Liberals of Cardigan and Murray Harbour, but as .it wus conditional on his election expenses being paid. these districts declined the honour of having him, as their standard-bearer. The Liberals of tho Fifth District of King’s are less fortunate, but the Patriot can hardly con- tain itself rejoicing at the triumph of its machine over the local representatives. NOTES Countess Von Dairenfeld, a niece of Count Zeppelin, who lives with hor husband, a. plain American citizen, named Apel, at Ventnor Heights, New Jorscy, has been commenting to interviewers on the possible consequences of President Wilson's Note to Germany. In case of war, the Countess declared, you will have your work cut out to take care of yourselves. Germany has now 22 subniarines large enough to voyage to New York and stay outi-iide the harbour for two months before returning. The Countess added that most of the German airships have been tcm- porarily withdrawn from service. They are being remodel- led, she said. and according to my latest information they will come out with the German Fleet, about October 1. Soon after that the whole world will bc crying out for peace. The Countess boasted that it is quite easy for German spies, operating from this country, to travel back and forth between England and the Fatherland. soeoeoeeooeeoog e DAILY SELECTIOHS F011 OUIRDIIII READERS Furnished by W. 8.
