,glum distracts attention for a time from the situation
in the near east. T
" Since the outbreak of war, fourteen months ago,
» ii§e,~TBalkan attitude has. been of prime importance.
TTThcre has been a continual battle of state craft and
_ intrigue to land as many as possible of the Balkan
.States in one camp or the other. Thcy have swayed
back and ~forth, first inclined to one side and then to
the other but always openly holding out for neutrality.
.Finally Bulgaria, through Russia’s ultimatum was
forced to declare openly her allegiance 'to the German
cnnsc. From authoritative reports it is evident that
the majority of the people who are slavs and, there-
fore, far more strongly attached to Russia than to
Germany, are strongly against such Alliance. The
royal party and majority of higher officials are pro-
German and it is they who have delivered Bulgaria in-
to German hands. This strong discord, thiiugh it will
probably not cause a real infernal revolution, will
doubtless cause a wide spread dis-satisfaction and
Tin that way makc the Bulgarian assistance much less
formidable than if it had the uiiqnalihcd support of the
masses. Bulgaria would have been a much more wil-
ling ally of thc Entente Allies had the voice of her
people been followed, andT' she could have given valu-
ablc assistance and hastened peace. Now 'she is
doomed to fall with the Tcutons, as one of the com-
mon enemies of the human race. Her -tragic error
can( at most, but prolong the agony a little.
` Greece; another Balkan state is struggling hard to
niaintain her neutrality. The mass of people are
strongly urging participation with the Allies but the
`l{iiig," wli`o is very popular, persists in his stand for
ncntrality.T It is ri big question, which way thc coun-
try will go. But it is surc it will ncvcr willingly go to
the (icrmans.
Ronmania, also, is struggling hard, the masses be-T
ing divided between, immediately- joining Russia and
the Allies, or maintainingTncutrality. It is consider-
cd probable that she will remain neutral for a time and
then finally fall in with the Allies. But, much thc
same was thought of Bulgaria for some time. Yet,
German intrigue, German gold, and German sympa-
thies in the Royal family led Bulgaria astray; It is
not impossible that the same might prove to be thc
case with Roumania, though thc influences of Ger-
many do not appear to bc so great on Rouinania, and
hcr extcusiveboundary directly on Russia would be :i
great counter-balance to German efforts.
During thc past six weeks, Germany has been
losing on lio_th fronts. Russia is once more rolling
back thc German forces and driving them out of the
country, daily gaining momentum and as the new min-
ister of war has statcd, once more starting resolutely
on the long and terrible march to Berlin. The Allies
in the west are daily demolishing the most formidable
western linc of intreiichmciits and capturing section
after -section of trenches. Their advance is slow,
steady, and, methodical like an irresistable battering
rain which knows no limit but kccps hanmicring away
night and day like clock work.
Italy on the \/tfcsterii half of thc South is gradually
forcing her way into Austria. _
Servia, on the other half of thc South is holding
tcnacioiisly agaiiistfciiornious odds. Shc is thc only
obstacle between Germany and Turkey. As yct, Tur-
key, holds the Dardanellcs and could give Germany an
outlet through Asiatic Turkey to menace Egypt, India,
and we know not what elsc. So, as soon as Bulgaria
was forced to disclose her hand, Germany had been
compelled to start her effort to break through to Tur-
key for whatever purpose she may have in mind. At
thc point where Servia projects between Germany an_d
Piulgaria, thc distance between the two countries is
but thirty miles. At this spot Germany is hurling all
available cf’forts._ Vi/hen she breaks through, as shc
probably `will, she will have a free and friendly high-
way for supplies, troops, and everything through Bul-
has planned. Obviously,_tlie Allies must completely
block this move ifthey possibly can. There is no
.tHling wliatriiéght be t_he_ consequences if they do not.
The landing' of allied troops at Saloniki is for this pur-_
pqsef They are being rushed there in large numbers
diily. 'T It is their aim to strike the railway which
P0 P05 Y
German rush at its source. " It is hoped that they may
do so and we all confidentially eJ_rpect they will.
In a way, the siturition may be likened to a
bottle. _ The Allies form the outer wall, Bulgaria
the bottle neck, Germany thecontents, and
stopper. As the Allies contract Germany they
_ her against the stopper, Serbia,»,and as Serbia
',to slide up into the _neck with danger _of letting out

 “ The fate of `the.`»Empire”l To a British subject
the idea of the British Empire failing is as unthinkable
as that the heavens should fall or the sun cease to
shine. To him the Empire is the universe, it was
always here, it shall always be here! 'Yet itis true t
that to-day, as never before, the fate of the Empire#
depends upon'the` faithfu`l_n`ess of its people. They
are being weighed in_ __the'balance,of the Almighty; they f
are being tested as to their’ wprthiness to continue in
fthe stewardship of the greatest Empire ever entrusted.,
to a people. If found wanting they will be deprived ,
'of their stewardship. That is the eternal, relentless; *
merciless law of the universe.
How do we stand in relation to this law? Are we-
doing our duty as a people? To put itT bluntly, we are
not. In the matter of recruiting we have fallen fear-
fully short-as a people. In the matter of contribut-
ing of our means we hve fallen lanientably short-aTsT
a` people. Yet it is as a people that we are being
weighed, it is upon our faithfulness as a people that
the fate of the Empire depends.
We boast that we have sent to the front, or /have
on their way to the front, some 160,000 men, and tThis is
true. 'I`his is only° four per cent. of our male popula-
tion, only foiir out of every hundred ,bf our men and
b0YS Of all ,HgC§§ Only four-out of every forty of
military age and physically fit; probably only four out '
of every twenty who have no legitimate reason for-
remaining at home. By way of comparison we might
remind our readers that Great Britain sent 16 per
ccnt. of licr male population tothe front; that is 16
out of evety forty of military agTe_‘T@iid physically fit,
,Or 16 Out of cvery twenty who have no legitimate
|reason for remaining at home. _ATnd'this slfowing
in Great Britain is so unsatisfactory' that the authorities
who know thc situation and the need are seriously
have given show that for every volunteer in Canada
there are three shirkers-and this is a vcry conscrva-\
tive estiniate.
_ This is only one phase of the situation. Thcre is,
in addition, the matter of contributing to the various
funds, for comforts for those who are to spend weary
days and nights in the trenches, for our legitimate share
of the war taxes, etc., etc. Towards those fpnds many
have contributed generously, others have shirkcd thc
duty. We have no data by which thc percentage of
giving may be estimated; even if we had it would 110;
reveal the situation, but we have examples of pitiful
iiieaiiiiess, so pitiful that tlic_qucstion involuntarily
arises, are wc worth saving after all? Sonic of the-_gc
have been brought to our notice. A man wont into a
baiik-it may or may not have happened in this pro-
vince-to get .zi draft for some fifty dollars to send to
a departmental store in another city. Wlicn he h;\i1<]¢(1
in his cash hc was told he must pay two mms for 1,
wait tax stamp. He rcbelled, accused the liaiikerffof
trying to rob him, abused the government for putting
on such an iniquitous tax As there was no rfdrcss lic
paid it. Bcforc leaving the bankThc was asked for a
subscription for one of the patriotic fuiids--a quarter
would be gratefully accepted. Hc refused. Sonic
brav'e-hearted lad has gone to the front to die if need
be"m order that this man and a few others like hini
may have t_lic shelter of thc British flag. This also
is only one instance. How many such will bc required
to sink the Empire? T
NOTES
The 'Fiji Islands have given ten per cent. of their
population to aid in thc maiiitcnance-of the British
Empire in this war. Not so very many years ago the
Fi jians were using British missionaries as mince meat.
As the Russians have no immediate incans of access
to their country, they are permitted after due author-
ization by their consuls, to enrol in thc ranks cf
Canadiziii regiments, a privilegc_not officially accorded
to other nationalities. They arc volunteering in large
numbers. ~
~"T'Bulgaria owes all shc has and is to Russia and
Britain. As with Grcccc, Turkey has cvcr been
Billgarizfs iinplacablc enemy, from whom Russia and
Britain have protected her. King F crdinand in selling
his country to a Tcutoii-Turk Alliance has given an
exhibition of bascncss almost unparalleled. -
