stale and unreliable allegations and figures relative to-the
oyster industry. Today we have similar pleasure in dis-

ship the delegates to the convention of Odilfellows opening
to~day in Charlottetown. There are some five hundred
visitors in all from our sister provinces. We trust the
wcuther inun will ho in his most amiable mood and that
our distiiiguislicdyisitors will enjoy the hospitality which
we feel assured will be accorded them by our citizens.
SPIRIT- 0F PROGRESS
lt is in line with the progressive spirit now abroad that
our city schools are this your receiving more than ordinary
attention. Prince Street School which, exteriorly as well
as interiorly, has always been one of the city‘s beauty
spots, has been in the hands oi’ the painters and carpen-
ters during the holidays and when reopened will be a
- source of pleasure and pride to the teachers as well as
the pupils. All the hulls, class-rooms and stalrways have
been newly painted and some 2,000 feet of hardwood floor-
ing has been laid. The assembly room on the upper floor
has been kulsomined and the woodwork repainted. The
root’ also, which was beginning to show signs of wear has
liccn regrzivellcd. Credit is duc to the School Board, and
to Mr. T. tf. James and Mr. llenry Smith, the Secretary,
in particular, for this rcnovation. While the building has
thus been rejuvemited, the grounds have also been given
some extra attention although, to the casual observer, the
grass and the shrubbery and the trees have always been
trained up in the way they should go by that prince of care-
takers, Mr. Augustus Mitchell. Mr. Mitchell's care ot’ these
grounds is a credit to him and should be an inspiration
and an example to all our citizens.
There are some vacant lots along some of our public
strccts that are at disgrace as wcll as a menace to the
health of the neighborliood in which tliey_ are situated.
Wced-growii and unsightly, piled high with ashes and de-
bris oi’ ull kinds they serve as nurscries for wcedeeeds and
receptacles for filth and disease. lf the owners or occu-
piers responsible for those cannot be otherwise persuaded
to adopt decent methods then the City Council should take
thc inattcr up and compel cleanliness. Fortunately there
arc not many such spots, but there :irc some and along
sonic of our most frequented streets and in the neighbor-
hood of some oi` our finest. rcsldcnccs. These things ,ought
not so to be, and the (Tity (‘ouncil would do well to insist
upon a general cleaning up of such places.
lt is gratifying also to fiml that Government House
grounds have bcon nicely cleaned up, the uiidergmwth in
the groves having been removed and the roadways trim-
nicd and otherwise improved. These and other evidences
ofa growing interest in appearance us well as in sanitary
conditions arc most gratifying, There is still room for im-
provcmcnt in some quarters, (Victoria Park for instance),
and it is hoped that thc good example set, pariiciilarly by
the schools, and by so inuny of thc beautiful homes in the

DISAPPOINTED GERMAN F INANCIERS
The pcttincss and pucrility of thc Pntriot’s policy in
this great imperial crisis is wcll-nigh incoinprclicnsihle.
Ono would have imagined that thc siicccssfiil floating oi'
1\ gigantic t‘aiiiidizin loan without the slightest hitch was
something lo hc iinmeasurably proud of, no matter what
Dlirly \\':1.-i in power. lt is one of the greatest financial
strokes ever recorded and has been commented upon as
such both in the United States und in Great Britain,
Wllat were thc conditions which the Dominion
Government was up agaiiist? Canada has uiii'es'tric`ted per-
mission to raise loans in London at the present time;
that is thc Governiiient of (faiiada enjoys that privilege.
But while it would have been quite lawful to go to Lon-
don for thc lonn it would not have been expedient. The
British Government was itself in thc mui'kct for ii loan of
$4,500,000,000 und was immediately faced with German
conspiracies to depress the price and the sale of German-
held securities on a market which was not at the moment
supplied with ready buyers or available capital. The
British loun was in a nieusure successfully floated, but
would it have bccn possible to have siiniliirily floated a
t‘:inudiun loan in competition wth the British one and
against thcsc adverse (icrinan influences? The Dominion
(iovcrnmcnt did not sock to embarrass the British market,
rind took the bold stop of going to New York to raise the
necessary funds. lliid an inkllng been disclosed ot’ their
intentions can wc doubt for a moment but that the whole
influence of the Gcrniiin financiers in New York would
have been thrown into the balance against it? Mr. White,
nn cxpcrieiicnd financier of unhiemished roputafion for
Skllfill llfllllllirll-I ol' great issues, realized thc seriousness
was ii. coup that has made the flnnciul world marvel. The
only dissatisfied ones are thc small-minded flnnnciers who
grudge Mr. White credit for his success, rind the pro-Gm-_
mans who resent Ci1neila's success in n neutral motley
market.
eiziiuanrs “snow risci:
The German inronrl in Poland is the show-piece of the
German wacpoiicy. The Prussian war game was origin-
nlly worked out on the plan that the first campaign, alter
Paris lmd hccn captured. would take place in Russian
Poland, ami the second in the Baltic area. The lntervon-
tion oi' Belgium and Britain prevented the fall of Paris,
mid thc tactics of the Allies in the West. until now, pre-
vented Germany pursuing her preconceived campaigns in
Russia. While the Allies are walling reinforcements, in
Franco and Flanders, Germany has had n comparatively
free hand against the Bear. and she is taking full advan-
tage of the opportunity. Though her success ls consid-
erable, and there is no use minimising the fact. it means
nt most the prolongation of the war. The offer oi’ peace
to Russia "on terms." is not meant seriously but with a
view to impress the Germans at home. Russia has as
much thought of suing for peace as has Belginm~anii Bel-
gium would prefer to be wiped oil' the map than become
a vassal of the despotic Hun.
We publish in another part of this issue an appeal by
Mr. Lloyd George for the service of women in the munltlolf
The Guardian heartily welcomes to temporary citizen-
of the situation and lnid his plans ucc ordingly, The regiiltg ‘°'
' ll
proving its allegations about the conditions of education
under Grit rule and under the present regime. The
Patriot quotes figures from the 1909-10 report of the Super-
intendent of Educatlouto show that ,there were more
first-class teachers then than there _were in 1914. We do
not admit the accuracy ot the figures in question because
the statistics from which they -are quoted bear evidence
of having been "eooked." For instance, in that report 47
male teachers ot the first class are listed, whereas in an-
other colunin credit is taken for payment ot only 37. What
became of the ten? But taking the Patriot on ite own
ground, allowing. for the sake oi' argument, that there
were more ilrst-class teachers in 1909-10 than there were in
1914, what were the facts with regard to the succeeding
r year 1910-11? According to the Grit Government reports
there was a sudden slump from 116 to 97. a drop of 19 first-
class teachers in one year. In 1911-12 there was a further
decrease to 85. which was the low~water mark resulting
from Grit malailministratlon. It was on this foundation
the present Government had to build, and what was the
result? In 1913 there was an increase of four; in 1914
there was an increase of fourteen over the Grit low-water
mark.
it is further significant that in 1911 the average salary
oi' mule teachers drawing first-class pay was $526.47 as
against $609.56 in 1914, whereas the female teachers of the
same cluss drew an average ol’ $343.61 in 1911 and $474.03
in 1914. The increase in the salaries for males was thus
$83.09 and in those oi’ females $130.42, an average for
both sexes ot’ $107.75 per annum, an increase of 25 per cent.
Whut has the Patriot or its source of inspiration to say to
this?
APPEALING T0 ROMAN CATHOLICS
A powerful appeal has been issued to all Roman Catho-
lics in Scotland by Archbishop Maguire, of Glasgow. to
enlist and where that is impracticsble, to assist in re-
cruiting. The appcul was read in all the Roman Catholic
churches in the diocese followed by patriotic sermons by
the preachers for the day. The Archbishop outlines the
origin and cause of the war, describes the principles at
stake, and turning to the fathers and mothers of the young
men to whom the first part of his appeal is addressed,
the Archbishop goes on to say:-
"Let every one, then, who is able, do what he can at
thc front or at; home to help; the younger men in the field.
the cldcrs in the workshops. Let no croaking on the part
of the small dissatisfied minority affect us; lot us pass h_v
with a smile the fanatics who take so heartlessly thc op-
portunty of the war to try to thrust on us their iiiireliiililc
tulos and their impossible schemes for reforming other
people. VVe have one business only at present-to conquer
the Prussians and those who have been misled hy them.
Our cause is ii noble one; we are not fighting to gain
money or land, we are not fighting for glory or revenge.
We are fighting for peace-not for a temporary patched-up
compromise which would only give the enemy the chancc
ot’ preparing and plotting for another outbreak-but for at
lastliig peace. And that can only be secured by the crush-
ing of the Prussian mllitarisin and ambition, by complcto
victory on our sidc, complete surrender on the other."
BRITAIN AND DUTCH NEUTRALITY
lt is xi favourable and fertile source of speculation
whether Holland will be compelled to enter the European
conflict. It would be so easy. say the war specnlators, for
Britain to send an army into Germany through llollnnd.
Mr. Winston Cliurclilll has just answered Ilolland through
the medium of the Nicuvc Rotterdamincr (‘ourant "that
Great Britain has no intention of violating tho iiciitrality
of Holland. as was proved by the fact that Great Britain
made not the slightest allusion to attempts to get trans-
ports to Antwerp along the Sclieldt.”
Mr. Churchill, while emphasizing the necessity for the
Dutch people to be ready, declared that from the side oi'
the Allies no danger threatened Holland. But with Bol-
gluni in the possession of the Germans there would be it
perpetual threat to Dutch independency. "That," he said.
"is n question that concerns only your own people. ln any
case it would be impossible for Great Britain, the chain-
pion oi’ one little nution, ever to attack the rights oi' nn-
other little country." .
“There has been some anxiety," added Mr. (lhurchill,
“of possible territorial changes being mndc at the cost ot'
Holland. But after our successful war-and thcro is no
doubt that the Allies will win-the position of small coun-
tries will bc stronger than ever, It has been said in cer-
tain quarters that at the Peace Congress thc rights of llol-
land might he threatened. To damage llolland would bc
utterly opposed to the sense of Brltisli justice and policy.”
