Not every German has lost his head at the present ,men. who have produced the richest and moat varied building in Great Britain and Germany on the outbreak ol' war have since been completed or are now on the eve of completion. On that assumption the British fleet, in- cluding the three vessels purchased from Chile and Turkey, now comprise 29 or 30 battlesliips and 10 battle-cruisers of the dreadnought type; wlille Germany will possess 17 hattlesliips and 5 or 6 battle-cruisers, an aggregate of 39 or 40 on the one hand, and 22 or 23 on the other. It is not necessary to examine in detail the basis on which these figures rcst; we may be satisfied with the general con- clusion tliat in dreadnought units the British fleet will now have ri margin of about seventy per cent. over that of Germany. ln the light of this conclusion, the disappear-‘ ance of such comparatively old battlesliips as the Majestic (laid down in 1893), the Goliath and Ocean (1897), the Irresistible and Formidable (1898), the Bulwark (1899) and the Triumph (1902), involves indeed heavy losses, deeply regrettable owing to the destruction of so much life, but losses which are more than compensated for by the destructioii of ii considerable part of the Germarfs Baltic fleet by the Russians, and which still leaves our battle fleet overwhelmingly strong; particularly as the squadron of dreadnouglita are supported by the 33 remaining battle- slilp of the pre-dreuiliiought era, representing a. superiority over Geriiiiiiiy of considerably over sixty per cent.; and co-operating with the Allies. Altogether this victory of Russia will seriously liandicap Germany on the sea, and moreover. iletrimentnlly affect her naval status, both in materiel and morale. .r 0 g ONE (iERMAN’S 0PlNi0N 1 ,,_.

In a recent issue of that journal Herr Harden enters his solemn pro- test iigalnst the cavalier attitude adopted by the majority of his confreres regarding “the stuff Britons are made of.” The Glasgow Herald publishes a translation of the article, from which we make the following extractsz- " Germany has a hundred reasons to fear Britain, with the sort of fear that is not unworthy of a man, that is based upon respect, and has nothing craven about it. . . . “ Any German who has sat on a Swiss mountain railway next to a Liverpool tailor got up like a lord. or has regarded our comic papers as it fount of wisdom, thinks he knows Britain ami the British. They have hucksters‘ souls, are deceitful and cowardly, are unsociable, surly and splenetlc, never aspire to higher things; have minds only for sport, foolery, money-making. That is the popular view.

Prizes were offered for the best essays on the subject oi’ “ Buying at Home ” contributed by the pupils in the public schools. One hundred and seventy-six essays were sent ln, evidenc- ing a wide interest among the younger generation. The benefit ot this from the standpoint of the local stores should be both immediate and lasting. The young people who have had their interest awakened in this matter should carry it into their future lives and that ought to make for a perpetuation of a spirit to help the home town. The same thing might advantageously be carried out in many towns in the Maritime Provinces. \. SIR GEORGE FOSTER’S VISIT \. Charlottetown is particularly fortunate in securing the services of Sir George E. Foster to deliver a patriotic iiddress. Sir George is one of the greatest orators, not only in Canada, but in the Empire. On the occasion of his recent tour in Australia he was described by the Melbourne Argus as the Canadian Demosthenes. Prophets are not Usllally honoured in their own country, but in this respect Sir George is an exception, for in the House of Commons, the most critical audience in the Dominion, when he is slated 10 Sheak the House rapidly nlis, both sides recog- HlSill§ that When Sir George is up, there will be something worth hearing and listening to.
