OYSTER CULTURE l~`rom tlte exhibits shown at our recent Provincial Exiti- bitioii of the development of oysters it would appear that thc prcst-nt season has been an exceptionally' favorable one tor the propagation of this valuable fish. In formcr years the presence or absence of spat was of little iitterest to the fislit-rineit. \\'ltat they were chiefly t-oiicernetl \\'ith was the quantity of ftill grown oysters available, and from these they drew, heeding but little the prospect ot' fttturt- harvests. This has change_d_ ami today thc st-.ctliitg ami the growing crop ot' oysters are watched and studied with as much interest as are the seeding and growing crops in otti' fields. The preparation of the ground also i-eccivt s as much attention as that for the iuost valu- able fit-lil crops. The possibilities in oyster culture were well illustrated in thc stiiiipies oi' spat-.ceiling shown. The clean shells, planted as culich were practically covered with spat, and it is known that at four years of age myriads of these young o_\':;tt~rs will be ready for market provided they are properly cared for in the meantime. Thus, with care and ititcliitrcnt seeding and with reasonable care devoted to thc pri-poration of the ground. the harvests from the hith- erto burrt-u lit-ids in our bays ami rivers will equal, it not excl-eil, thc harvests now grown on our uplands. The work that is being dont- by the few companies now operating in Richmond Bay will not only be, in the near future. a profitable business for the companies themselves but will he the means of greatly benefiting the public areas, as the latter will be seeilcd from the former and, ul- so, as a continuous warfare \vill he maintained against the stnriisli, the present great enemy of the oyster. \\‘e unfit-:rstand that thc success that has attended the efforts of the few companies now operating, is attracting thc attention of many others anti that already new com- panies are in process of formation. There is still room for more ami there is an assured market for all the oysters that can he produced. In his latest work on “The Canadian Oyster," Mr. Joseph Stafford, .\l. A., Ph. 1)., \vho for several successive years under direction of the llomiuion (iovcrnnicnt, contluctctl a biological station in liichmoml Hay for the purpose of siuilying the o_vstt~i‘, said on the snlijcjct ot' oyster culture: "Tito sea is not illiinitable and its products are nut inex- huustililc. Tho oyster is not only confined to shallow wat- er nent' siiorcs bitt to limited portions of the shore water. Brought into existence ami sustained for ages by natural processes, it. is capable oi' tIei'oitce only against natural ene- mies. It cannot withstand thc strain of overfishing by men. ()ii ihc other haml man cannot. expect to continually get something for nothing frtiin the sea. I-lc has not been satis- lied with the- natural productions of the land, bitt set him- sclt' to the tlestritction ot’ the more useless, anti the in- crcascti cultivation of the most useful. I-ie must do lhc same in relation to the sea. lt may be a long time bc-fore than gains anything like at satisfactory con- trol over the most. valuable migrating fishes, but it is very different with the oystcr. wliicli has lost all powers of io- comoiion except for a brief larval period. It would almost sei-m to have been expressly designed to lead men from the cultivation of the land to that oi' the sea. The only way in which to materially ami uiirestrainably increase the number of oysters is to expend labor in extemling anti im- proving thi- natural conditions that are known to be neces- sary oi' fa\‘orablc to the existence ot` the oyster." ._il.O.__i._____ A COMPLAINT A '.'\\niii-nmn in thc l'nltcd States who has taken more than it scnliiucntal interest in the Prince Edward Island fox lndustry complains of the wan ot` promptness on the part of it nuinbt-r ot` fox companies in replying to letters. “'i`liei't- art- some fox coinpaines on thc Island," hc says. “\\'ho. \\'!it»n they rcceivc moncy for shares, do not bother to semi a receipt or any kind of acknowledgement. and lin- aily do so only after repcatctl letters have been sent, their cxcitst- bi-.ing that they were too busy.

'l`hc rt-putnblc fox firms whicli have failed in this respect arc probably very few, btti cvcn the few who either by sins of omission or commission have sttccceded in arousing suspicion with regard to thcinselvcs are injuring the whole i'ox litisiticss. The industry is comparatively new, and, like all other new ventures, is critically watched by those who are nttraclcd towards it with a view to making investments Those in it cannot afford, nor can thc business afford any lapses such as that complained of. Business is business and prompt replies to all business correspondence is by no means the smallest factor in its success. We might mention just here that the complaint above re- fcrred to is not the ilrst of the kind that hits come to us. Wo trust. it will be the last. D0 WE REALIZE? The numerous meetings held throughout the country in the interests of the various patriotic funds are proving tt highly appreciated, educative influence. lt is frequently ob- served by those present at such meetings, that they had obtsined a better idea and more comprehensive grasp of the principles st stake after hearing the address of one or other of the speakers than from all they' had previously fold on the subiect. It is the old story. The spoken 1% is the moot effective means of education snd the I E Why’ to drive home s pohtt. People more _gt-sep a point when it is put before them by e fs thorc\l£hl7 flmllisr with' bil ing to place their services at the disposal of the various' committees for the purpose of addressing meetings on the war, its causes. and its consequences. It seems that the rest of Canada, and especially Quebec. is lacking in this public-spirit, and the Chief Justice, Sir Charles Fitzpatrick, has found it necessary to write to Le Soleil urging the necessity of a campaign of instruction such as has been so successfully inaugurated here. Per- haps Sir Charles has been influenced in this action by the example of his colleague, Sir Louis Davies, who threw himself whole~heartedly into the campaign while here. ln part, Sir Charles writes as follows: , "Let us go to the people of Canada; ict us preach them a new crusade. Canada does not fully realze that Ger- many’s victory would mean war oit Canadian soil and that her people would be submitted to a military despotism similar to that exercised in Alsace and Poland. “\\'ithout any apparent effort," the t‘hief Justice writes. “I-‘rance and England have risen sublimely to the climax of their heroism; Canada, under the influence of the same force, and face to face with the same danger, would renew her epics of Long-Sault, of Carillon ami of Chateauguay. (`ommon sense is not enough when problems of extreme complexity are involved; common sense is local, and, like an excessive love ot' one's native heath, is liable to shut out more universal considerations. “What I fear is that the feelings of the people have not been educated to a point where interests and sacrifice would be dominated by higher motives. Let us then go to the people of Canada; let us preach them a new crusade; ict us make tltcm understand that merely national consider- ations must be overcome ami that individual aspirations must he sacrificed to considerations of universal necessity. it is clearly understood in Canada what a cataclysm would result from the disappearance of France? I speak of France because she is the country most seriously menaced. Do we see ourselves leaning on a triumphant Germany iti- llated beyond measure and gorged with the riches of France, facing thc Japanese anti the whole empire of the east whose military power is growing daily to balance that of the Russians who dispose of half of Europe and Asia?" Sir Charles Fitzpatrick concludes his letter by an appeal to the people based on the German attitude _ ol` “anti- Catliolicisin, of philosophism and of atheism." "Who will preach the holy war in Canada?" his letter ends. Thc Island is most fortunate in tho possession of so many eloquent speakers who are just carrying on in our midst the "holy war," which Sir Charles considers so absolutely necessary for the rest of Canada. _________0___.__i.. “WHELPS OF THE Ll0N” This is how the “Whelps of the Lion" have come to the aid of the Imperial mother ami family: Dominion of Canada Expeditionary force of 32,000 men and promise ot' 100,000 if necessary, including infantry, cav- alry, artillery aud medical corps.

' s _ ' THE BELGIANS ` §!,‘l |,`f+é‘;7 A A -- I ` The gallant defence made by the Belgians against the German invasion has won the admiration of the world. while at the same time changing the whole plan of cum- paign of the German Army and doubtless saving I-`ri.nicc from much more serious loss than it would have suffered had the original German intention of marching to Paris been carried out. A few facts in regard to this gallant army and the manner of its making are well worth noting. The Belgian Army was till recently recruited partly by voluntary eti- listment and partly by conscription of the old type with many exemptions, but in December 1909 a law was passed substituting “personal service" for conscrlption with sub- stitution, and greatly reducing the number of exemptions. Voluntary enlistment is retained for those who desire to make the army a profession, first engagements being for fivc,four or three-,years,accortling to whether the rccritit is l6,17,18 or over 18 years of age. Compulsory rcruits serve for one year and eight months in the infantry, one year and ten months in the garrison artillery and engineers, 2 1-3 years in the field artillery and three years In the cavalry. These terms were slightly modified in 1912. The authorized peace strength of thc army is 42,800 exclusive of officers and the nttmber of men officially said to be ef- fective in war time-previous to this war-was 180,000. According to statistics published since the war began the wnr strength of the army is 222,000 showing ltow gen- eral and patriotic was the response to the call to the col- ors. This rcsponse was all the more effective and accounts for thc gallant stand matic by the army, from the fact that every recruit had already had some military training. The idea that conscripts will not fight as effectively as volunteers has been abundantly disprovetl by the man- ner in which this little army held in check the overwhelm- ing German invasion. We have much to learn from the Belgians as well as much for which to be grateful to them. .___;i._O____l_;___ “BUSINES AS USUAL” A writer in the "London Daily Mail" suggests that the imtlon's motto nt the present moment should be "Business ns Usual." The “Londoi\ Spectator" says: “Thnt is sound common-sense and true patriotism. There is not one of us who cannot without the slightest loss of health or happiness be 'speeded up' by some fifteen or twenty per cent. If we all-men, women and children- resolve to work harder and better than before we shall soon overtake the losses of war. They are superficial things, if the spirit survives", Nations fight, not with armies and navles alone, but with resources. The allies are vastly superior to Germany in natural resources, but in order to be available sources of strength, these resources must be developed. As the "Spectator" says, men. women and clilldren must resolve to work harder and better than before. "Business as Usual." We need business and more busi- ness, in order to provide the slirews of war. to arm, feed and clothe armies, and to provide for the families of those who fight. "Business as Usual." Let that be our motto in-Canada., vmrciisiiiiiiiisr . or ni: iiiuim (Contributed) The night. cometh-has come,blnck bitter, storm rlven. The blood curdles at the jungle voices. Death, Devasta- tion, Huttger, Fire, Misery, Destruc- tion-run riot. The groans and tears of strong men and women and the cries of little children take away the last gleam of light. Little wonder that faith reels and is un- steady. In the press, on the platform. in the street and in many hearts that will not give them expresslon,the ques- tions are asked, "Is olvlllation bank- rupt? Has Christlttnity failed? Can llod be vindicated for allowing the war?" These questions are natural perhaps-yet the loss of faith in the best is the worst calamity of all. The buinan~ life Iilves by faith. The author of Chanticleer is right when be sings. “There must be a nightingale in e very forest and in the heart ot' man a faith that lives however oft 'tis slain." Must God be vindicated? All will agree that human beings act as if they had free will. Each individual be- lieves he can take or refuse the ol- fered apple, the turn to the right or left. Everyonc insists on this and resents any interference with this prerogative. Even those who intellec- tually nrgue to the contrary. live out this belief. To the great majority it is a. sacred thing-this freedom of choice. In all discussions of the pre- sent strife it is taken for granted and either side charges the other with having directly, deliberately caused the war. Beneath all the seeming we know that the war is the outcome of human bungling. lr. may he because of greed, passion, lust, whatnot but it is human bungling. But the Christian belief is that the Father will, out of even our bungling bring good, as the human father is able to direct the child, now teachable through failure, to make a more pleasing plaything though he has ruined the material for the purpose for which it was first in- tended. Pcople say that in a short month all the toil of centuries is ttndone. Life after life innumerable, with its hopes. fears, ambitions, struggles has contributed its little share and al- most imperceptibly the finer touches have been given which is called cul- ture, civilisatlon. Now in one moment of doom all is gone as the coral island. the product. of the life of countless myriads, is forever dest.royed'in one volcanic shock. The elemental brute passions, the control of which marks human progress, are let loose and rush, uncontrolled, to grow more hitti- gry by that they fed upon, War is thc same, they say, or more brutal than ever. This war is the same as all oth- er wars have been only more cruel We are back two thousand years. Our boasted progress is a dream ami we have changed from it only to fall into a nightmare. We know not where we are. But is this all trite? is this war the same as others? It is almost entirely different. Something has grown through the centuries which ie now the dbinnion life. while. before il belonged only to the ones and rtwos., Take the whole atmosphere of thc countries involved. Where is the jingoism? Where is the lust for war? All the representative Canadian newspapers have one answ- er. There is no jlngolinn. If one para- graph of this kind creeps in it is denounced. The same is true oi' the leading British, French and American papers. This was not true of the I\‘ranco-Prussian war. _ The American papers in the Spanish American war were frankly jingoistic. The battle cry of that war was a cry i`or ven- geance. It was fur from true in the South African War. The cherished hope of Shakespeare’s Englishman was to kill it Frenchman ora Spaniard What is found on the other hand? Everywhere the cry is “we have no quarrel with the German people. We admire them, we want her educators; we need her goods, her markets; we would be poor without her poets, her musicians, her artists. This war is unthinkable. it should never have been. This is all new. Further, there is a deep feeling in many hearts which was given volcein a recent editorial in Canaila. It was a plea that all schools in Canada should guard against prejudicing the child- ren against Germans hy giving wrong veiws of her people because of the present enmity. That editorial in United States in the time of the Revo- lution would have been iinpossible. The worst of prejudice was fostered in their schools ami until to-day men and women fed on such “history” find it almost impossible to be anything but hostile to Britain. Yet today all Canadians hope that what the editor- ial pleads for will be done. What then is the war against if not against Germany? According to all contemporary thought it is against militarism and its tyranny- against the very thing the presence ot' which seeins to prove civiliz- ation a failure! It is not a war carri- ed on in thc lust of war but against war. To say the pre- sent war dlsproves Christianity is the same as saying that because PE. island fought lntemperance that tcm- perance teaching has failed. It is a war to destroy the possibility of war and never before in the world’s his- tory has the universal consciousness of a people said war must forever cease. It is not war from the senti- ment of war. It is in spite of all sen- timent itguinst war. This war seems to be the call to it great duty. See, the troops entraiu. What a contrast to the past. Where is the cheap patriotism? There is little cheering, little ilagwaving of the fran- tic kind. Quickly, firmly, confidently they go, with the free consent of the women or accompanied bythem as nurses. There is no fear of defeat, no backwardness in offering. But in ‘all faces and in all hearts there is not lust for blood but a regret at the crime and a deep conviction that it is n sacred duty to be done for humanity. This war is not the same as any pre- vious war. That sentiment has grown. lt- is now the dominant note the common property of all, That is the true gsin.lt is greater than any' hu- man mind can estimate. But while all see and measure the ships snd and shells this -"sentiment”-- is lt? The wor|d'e coarse thumb finger cannot manure it.

Let 1| feet _ . ,__ ivance will be marked in the parlia- ment of nationinthe federation of msn- kind, the rule of the highest and best- the Prince of Peace. ' True the answer may be. “What is your sentiment, your public opinion compared with the facts. There is the bloodshed and the war! We hard- headed people speak of facts not be- liefs," There was a time in another century when a young man led a good reform and said “The Kingdom. of God is in your midst". I-Ie called himself the Messiah. The storm gathe- red snd broke. One dark day he hung dead upon the tree. His handful of fol- lowers scattered like sheep or huddl- ed in at private room with locked doors. There are the crass facts. 'I‘he‘ government and the ecclesiastical ma- chine wau well satit~iiled,forthat sect was t‘or`ever stamped out. No crass facts could be more convincing.Opposed to that was a. glowing sentiment, a be- lief. The crass facts brought it to con- sciousness and the scattered few be- cante amightyhost.Christianityis the answer to the argument of crass facts. “War must cease” that is the new note, that is the new victory of this plundering war. It does not excuse the crime, lt will be the good which in spite of our mistakes shall occur to all. “What of the night? The night com- eth!" Yes and also the ntorning.". ’ SINCERE THANKS Sir:-Will you please convey to my many friends and patrons throughout the length and breadth ofthe Province of P. E.

NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-The New York and Porto Ilico Steamship t‘.o,, owner of the American steamer Lor- enzo, wltich, with the Norwegian steamer '1‘hor was surprised by it British cruiser while coaling the Ger- man cruiser Karlsruhe off the West liidies, and captured, refused to-day to tell wlto had shipped the coal from New York, or where the orders i`or it came from: The Lorenzo. it is known, had on board 3,077 tons of coal, valued at $14,900. Site sailed t'rom New York on August 5. On the same day the New York ami Porto Rico Steamship Company cleared its steamer Berwind for litte- nos Ayres, with another cargo of 2,737 tons ot' coal, valued at $10,250. To-day the Berwind was reported as arriving at Rio Janeiro on September 18, more than two _weeks overdue. A steamer that puts into port other than she has been cleared for, unless she is in dis- tress, is usually llablc to rttn foul of regulations governing shipping. There was much speculation in maritime circles here to-day as to how the Berwind had spent the un- accounted t`or two weeks and why site put into tt' port other than the one she had cleared for. An official of the Inter-American Steamship (Yompany. which cleared the Thor from New York for New- port News, at tiijst said that his com- pany had not had anything to do with the steamer for tnore than three months. Records proved that the company cleared the ship from this port late in July. The official later asserted. that he did not know who had shipped the coal on the Thor, where it was consigned or who had ordered it. He also dlsclalmed know- ledge of whether the coal was shipped front this port or from Newport News. BRITAIN ASKS INQUIRY. WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-Great Brit- ain has asked the United States to investigate who was responsible for with coal to thc German cruiser Karls- ruhe in British West indian waters. The Lorenzo was caught by a British cruiser. The Dcpurtinents of Com- merce and Justice will determine wlto may bc prosecuted under the neutral- ity laws.
