The llerlin war lords are congratulating tiicnisel-
vcs upon the success of the U-boat terrorism so far as-
'ietitifals are coticernetl. 'l`h,~if. has been their biggest

quicsces, it plays the part of a German tool. The war
_has placed the Dutcli (iovernnient iii :i cruel position

'l`hey have respected Dutch lives and property.` To
ruforce the blockade of Geriiiatty they have had to res-
trict imports. into llollancl to duzinttttes it needed for
domestic consumption, so to prevent re-export to Ger-
iitany. '.l`hcy have also required Holland to sell as
nutcli hoiue-groivn foodstuffs to the Eiitente as to
fiermany. Nothing of injustice or hardsliip has been
.ufiicted _by them, in _spite of their .full control of the
seas, except what ordinarily falls on any neutral _em-
braced in tt. zone of legitimate blockade operations.-
However, if, out of fright at German threats, the
Dutch refrain from sending their ships to British ports
as usual and so do not carry out the agreement to stip-
ply as much footlsttiffs to Britain as to Germany, they
can-be fairly' accused of playing (iermany’s game, and
as unneutrals, will be l`airl_v- open to reprisals by the
llritish Government.
lt must be recognized that tlte Dutch people do not
willingly acquiescc in the cotiditions imposed by Ger-
man. friglitfulness. To go into the war, they say,
would be iiatioiialstticide. Perhaps if they took a vi-
gorous stand, their lot would be easier. Entente ar-
mies in the \-\"est are now more than a match for Ger-
inanarmics, and liollatirl'_is a short cut into Germany
liaipjrobably _could be. protected hy Fntente troops,
'_itltou_'t_ any inaterial invasion .of Dutch territory.
iowever, the Dutch Government must see that it can-
,iotfekpcct the llritish to neglect measures that will
niake it observe real neutrality. The Dtttcli must know
their. only hope is in an Entente victory. lf their cour-
ake is oozing, London`s duty is to give it :t real reslo-

Au elderly lady teacher in a remote, district bf our
little province' was greatly annoyed by a itew species of
deviltry tltat became epideiiiic among her pupils. Each
pupil, apparently, carried a. pin, either for`ol’fensive ur.
defensive purposes, witlf thcresttlt that there were f rc-
quent interruptionnto the ordinary routine of school
\i'cirk'at1d` frequent complaints from “jabbed" pupils.
'lfhcrettpou the elderly lady publicly proclaimed that
tlienceforwartl any pupil found guilty of sticking a pin
-lu' his, or -her neighbour would bc -severely punished.
This stopped the pin sticking habit and there followed
a great ctilm and a return to work. After an interval
the calm was suddenly broken by a screain~'ft'om one
of the pupils and a complaint against :i neighbour. The
'neighbour-,was promptly~l\ailed before the awful tribu-
nal. “Did I not tell you,” asked the teacher sternly,
~"that -any one who stuck _npin in another pupil would
.be se~verrly'puniiihed?” “House ma'ah,” replied _the
,culprit "l, d_idn’t stick a pllt in him, l only pinched

This ei\'rly chapter in the evolution of otir school
systcni is recalled by the. suggestions that are being
put forward with :t view to regulating the rtuining of
automobiles. (lite prescrilies the stopping of the :unc-
icngine so many yards front the terror-stricken t?)
liorse; aitotlierstiggests going into the ditclt, aiiiotlter,
getting out of the auto and goiitg.for\vard to meet the
terrified horse with a flag of truce, etc. etc. etc. lf the
occupant of the oncoming carriage is killed or his cari-
riage broken after all these rules have been cotuplied
with the aiitoistfis presumed to be guiltless, and the
thing that he did or did not do would in regular course
of legislation become incorporated in the criinin:il code
as :i criminal ofleiice.
» 'l`here are certain written and unwritten laws rc-
gulatiug the conduct of men and wonicn on the roads
and elsewliere. 'l`hc decent citizen, itiale or fentale,
will observe these laivs; the others will, when it suits,
violate them and place tlicittselves within the power ol_
the law. The only remedy for the latter is to let the
law take its course with theiii. .\n :intoist may stop his
ciigitie, may run his machine into the ditch and still do
less than- he ought to do to help the one wl_ion.i l_iis_auto

lf wc begin itpplying rules' to the drivers of :ni|o::,
other than the geiicral rules now regulating and safe-
gtiartiiitg the rights of all on the liiglitvays, we tniistl
do thc saiiie witili respect to theidrivt-rs of liorses. lt
is not inany ireeks since, on thc streets of Charlotte-
to\\'t'., two respectable citizens, one of tlietii :iii :igcfl |:i~
dy, were run down by sleiglis carelessly and criniinally
driven. Iii neitlier case did the drivers take the trouble
to fititl oiil whether the victitii of his criiiiiitril con-
duct was lcillcd for not. .\len guilty of such oinragcs
as these should ‘he severely punislied. _ `
The recklessilriviiig of either carriages or autos is
punishable by lain' whether accidents result or not. ln
the case of the autoist, who is obliged to have a license
before he can di'ivc at all, the remedy is easy-his li-
cense can- be and should be cancelled or suspended ac-
cording to the degree of guilt, As matters stand :il
present liowevet-_between carriages and autos there :ip-
pears to be more need of restrictions aitd regulations
for the fonner than for the latter. Practically all the
road and street accidents that have occurred since the
introduction of the auto resulted, not front or by
autos, but by sleighs and carriages. The only safe rtilc
_for both is to severely punish the di_'ivcr_of_ _eitliei‘,
whose tnaiiner of driving is such as to bc it menace to
others, and the laws on our statute hooks no\v cover
the whole, situation if we apply tlteni.

' Love of oneis country, like love of one's hottie, is
a natural instinct common to all true men and women
of whatever nationality or whatever race. From the
savage who protects his home with a clttb, and the atti-
mal that shields its young with tooth and claw, to the
'trained soldier who fights his country’s battles with
tuoderii weapons, the instinct is tlte same and he is a
inougrel, man or aitimal, that lacks it._
"Breathes 'there a man with ,soul so dead, who ne-
ver to himself hath said 'this is my own, my native
land ?”
We should in every way encourage and develop
tliisinstittct not iti ourselves alone but in others:
should honour those who rejoice in their count_ry’s best
traditioiis and voice their pt°i<Ic`i_n them. We nlay well
regard with suspicion and distrust the nian who is not
anchored to the special glories of his own laitd.' lle it
is who, “livlhg, shall forfeit fair renown and, doubly
dying, shall go down-to the vile dust front whence he
sprung, unwept, unlionoured and unsung.”
We in Caiiada, \ve even here in Prince Edivzirtl ls-
land, made up as we are of different races. have not
always regartled each other’s national aspirations a_i_id
rejoicings and celebraticnsiii their true light. Each
nationality observed its fete days and its cclebratioiis
within its own circle, too often under the tmsympathc-
tic if ii_ot the jealous eyes of the others, 'l`hesc times
have changed, Otir ntttiomtl celebrations have become*
broader in their scope. Our Fjtiglisli, lrisli, Scotch.`
French are becoming more and more Canadianizcd.
more and more welded into a common citizensliip, each
race justly cherisltiitg its own trtulitions, each jttslly
nursing its racial pride and 'all glorying together in a
common Canadianism. And each race ltas its proud
traditions; the flag of each has floated _over victorious
battlefields, over ntcii who had' brought honour and
fame to their race. and we are none the less loyal to
the common flag of us all if wc_ each look with pride
past our own to where "ever upon the topmost lt'eight
the banner of Britain flies.”
‘ lt is fitting that these national and racial traditions
be perpetuated, that each of our great races-and they
are all great in a common greatness-should rejoice
(with the others, should encourage thc others in keeping
alive their best traditions. The qualities that have
made _each great will,'tmi_ted, make for that common
