SIR WILFRID AS HE IS
Sir \\'ill`rid and his friends cannot blame the newspap-
ers and correspondents if they recall his record of loyalty at
this time. He has brought it upon himself by his recent
outbreak in Parliament, and if he desires the limelight, let
it show up the politician as he is, not ns his friends would
like to display him.
in his recent letter to Sir Gilbert Parker, Sir Wilfrid
Laurier took occasion to assure the British nation that the
people of the lfnited States are overwllelmingly on the side
of the Allies. and added:
"llow can it bc otherwise when their (U10 G0l'lI1al1'S)
philosophers and writers. like Bernhardi, make it plain
that Germany was the aggressor. and has been preparing
to attack France for years. . . . There must he no peace
until German nlilitnrism is crushed."
Thus does the Liberal leader\condemn with his own
pen his political record on defence for the past fifteen
years. The German philosophers and writers who “make
it plain tllat Germany was the aggressor," and that she
was "preparing to attack France for years,” published
their works long before the olltbreak of this war. As the
l"l~inn- .\lin4istl-r of (':lna.da, and later as the leader ot' Ilia
.\Iajesly's flppusitioll. Sir Wilfrid should alld mfust have
been l'anlili:lr wvith them. He must have witnessed the
trend of Prussian thought and policy ever since the Franco-
Gernlall war.
I-‘or fifteen years he was in the confidence of the lm-
periui authorities. and Gernlany's colossal war prepara-
tions were not lnlkllo\\'n to the statesmen ot' Great Britain.
lt is trlle that tllere were those in Britain who sought, by
the unsopllisticated clap-trap of pacifitlism, to lull the peo-
ple into u false sense of security; men who thought tha-t
tomorrow would be as today. But the fact that the peace-
loving Liberal Governments of Asquitll and Campbell-Ban-
norman imposed upon the British taxpayer an ever in-
creasing burden of uavafconstructiou, is unimpeuchable-
proof that the responsible statesmen of the Empire saw the
inevitable storm approaching, and prepared for it.
And yet there was nothing they knew that Sir VVili`ri<l
Laurier did not know. The Admiralty Memorandum of 1912
lnnde it plain tllat Germany was aiming to destroy the su-
premacy ut' Great llritain on the sea. ln the llousc of (‘onl-
mons Sir \\'ili‘riil emphasized the fact that it contalined
nothing which ile did not know as far back as 1909. As
Sir Robert Borden pointed out the German Naval Law ot'
1900 did not expressly name the British fleet, but desig-
nated it nnnlistakabl_v as that with whicll Germany propos-
ed to measure her strength. It. contained these remark-
able wortlsz-
war against the uliglltiest sen-power would invoke risks
tllreaieniln.: the supremacy of that power. For this pur-
pose it is not absolutely necessary that the German fleet
should be as strong as that of the greatest sea-power, be-
cause generally the greatest sea'-power will not be in a
position to concentrate all its forces against us."
There is no mistaking the meaning of these words.
But even more remarkable were those used at a much lat-
er date in the Reichstag by the leader of the German Na-
tional Liberal party when, in 1908, he said!-
"ln our attitude towards England we must keep cool;
and until we have a strong fleet. it would be it mistake to
let ourselves he drawn into a hostile attitude towards
her."
lt was the knowledge of statements such as these, an
intelligent and statesmanlike appreciation and perception
of German thought, tendencies anti preparations that in-
spired the British people to stop at no sacrifice ill olider to
mnilltain the integrity oi’ their Empire. lt was this know-
ledge upon which was based tho Memorandulns submitted
to Canadians by the Admiralty in 1909. and again in 1912.
And yet in the light of these facts, which must, have con-
vinced him that "Germany was the aggressor," that she
was for years preparing to attack Britain as well as Franco,
what was the attitude of Sir Wilfrid Laurier?
ln 1907 he bluntly told the imperial Conference that
Canada was prepared to do nothing further in the way of
Naval Defence-which was nothing. N
ln 1909 he told the Canadian people that in his opinion
they had not been remiss in their ,duty, refused to accept
the Adnliralty's proposal that Canada establish one Fleet
I'nit on the Pacific, and resolved, instead, on two sets of
light cruisers. too weak to he effective. ` "
'ln 1910 he declared that th'ese cruisers must not he
available for the defence of the Empire unless an order-
in»councii was passed after war had broken out, alld talked
about Canadian neutrality in Empire wars. -|
in 1911 he refused to let the contracts for the few
small cruisers he had promised in 1909.
in 1912 ile scolfed at the advice ofthe British Admir-
alty. and opposed the contribution of three Dreadnoughts
to the fighting forces of the Empire.
in 1913 he eulogised the Kaiser, and sneered at the
formation of s Naval Reserve.
ln 1914. he cried for a truce on party politics until
German mllitarism was crushed, expressed the pious
opinion that the war was the outcome of German philoso-
phy, and shed copious tears-in ink-that he ever should
lmve had opinions-or sentiments to use his own expres-
sions different from those he was giving utterance tot.
In 1915. Sir Wilfrid is himself again. He broke his
_political truce without a word of apology or excuse. At
tacked the war budget as vlciously and as disloyally as
he attacked all other pro-British and Imperial policien,n.nd
nel himself up as a trouble raiser, and advertised Canada
throughout the world as the one storm centre of the Em-
pire. the sole dominion where the question of the cost
of the war-the struggle in which we are fighting for our
existence-has been raised. .
y Such la the record of Sir Wilfrid Laurier. lt is n re~
f-orld, which rlooaiolfgrddect credit.upolt`the political ln-
t¢»lll;~..-.- ni ml film.. mr in the um of no events or
today it is inconceivable that such a msn could hold the
position of Prime Minister of the greatest and richest ol'
the Oversees Domlnlons for more than fifteen years. |
When Blr Wilfrid lrnndlloqnently tolls the linglishm
novelist, Blr Gilllert Parker--that Germsnrfllos been silt'
aggressor for years. and that there “must he no peace un-
tll German mllltarisnl is crushed." he must not complain
if there are those whose convictions force them to me
conclusion that in making the statement he was thinking of
party, and not of State. German militarisln -will be crush-
ed. but how much easier would have been that bloody talk
had not Sir Wilfrid Laurier so long maintained an attitude
not undeserving of the title of treason. The student of
the record of the Liberal party on naval defence can have
no difllcnlty in comprehending the belief of Prussian
theorists that the cords of the British Empire would snap
at the slightest pressure. That German belief was based
on the doctrines of Laurier and his kind. ln the shadow
of a common peril Canadians would have been inclined to
forget -the past had Sir Wilfrid observed his word of prom-
lse. Some were temporarily deceived by his plea for n
political truce but not for iong.Thcre are still some
who may mistake his protests of loyalty for patriotism.
but posterity will be less kind to him than his contempor-
aries, 1
_ N0 TIME
“Art is long and time is fleeting" is the feeling that
dominates the mind of the youth when facing the world
in the great undertaking of making a living. Art is certain-
ly ,long; it takes years to acquire an edu-
cation, years to learn a trade. years to muster a profes-
sion; and time is fleeting. Therefore the years of prepara-
t-ion must be shortened and llfe’s work must be undertaken
with an little preparation as is compatible with getting
into the business of money making. So concludes the aver-
age youth. He hastens from school, not to learn a trade but
to make money-and in very many cases to fail because
of his haste. This custom, incident perhaps to all new coun-
tries wllere there is a demand for work of all kinds, and
where easy money is made, has persisted in Cnnalla, even
beyond the period of insistent. and indiscriminate demand
for labor. lt. is one of the drawbacks in Canadian life, one
of the characteristics that have left their impress on
Canadian lndustry to its hurt. No one today learns a.
trade, except those who enter the professions, and by no`
means all of these. There are still some professions whose
front ldoor is always open, here or elsewhere, and entrance
once secured, there or here, he is recognized as one of the
fraternity, medicine and law alone excepted.
in the trades there are no exceptions. The young nlan
who can drive a nail or saw a plank is a carpenter, and de-
mands a carpenters pay; the tailor, the shoemaker, the
blacksmith and even the printer each makes his similarly'
early cia-im upon the “seats of the mighty" in his own
particular sphere.
In the pioneer days of our own province, with the cus-
toms of the Old Land still held in reverence by the early
settlers, apprenticeship to trades was strictly adhered to
and as a result there were workmen that “nedded not to be
ashamed,” and also work in the quality of which workmen
took pride. This is practiically all over. There are doubt-
less many causes, one, perhaps the principal one, being the
extensive use of machinery in_ the turning out of work
formerly done by band. This, however, is true of only some
of the trades and only to certain portions of these trades.
There is still need of skill and workmanship in all
trades and these can be acquired only by long apprentice-
ship arid training. The fact that a man, or a youth, can
stand by a machine and operate it under direction of an
expert and receive a fair wage, often the wage of a skill-
cd workman, is largely accountable for the fact that so few
take the time tu acquire a proper knowledge of the work
they set out to do. Machines are largely alike and the
transition ot' an operator from one to another is generally
not didicult. This offers the temptation to dissatisfied
workmen to seek employment elsewhere, and when labor-
ers are few their services nre usually accepted.
There is still need for the skilled worklnan, be his
calhing what it may. Indeed in every calling there is as-
sured room only for the skilled and the thorough; the
4 others are “taken on"` only when there is pressing need,
..G,,mmm. must MW a met of such Strength that a‘and they are “knocked off" with little compunction when
their places can be filled by better men,
In the forward movement now in progress the prepara-
tion of young men and young women for their lif'c’s work
should be strongly emphasized. Great Britain’s supremacy
in commerce, in iindustry, in education, in all that has
made her supreme on land and sen, is founded on efli-
clency, the efficiency anti tborougllness of her educational
system, of he_r__"i_n,dustrial and commercial systems which
Hdemand a sufficient apprenticeship to ensure efficiency.
This must be the keynote of all-round education, and
education must mean, in the broadest sense, thc fitiiing of
the young for their life's work.
TRIVIAL CAUSES
Tile present war was precipitated by the flendish act
of an irresponsible fanatic who, after the war had begun,
wlu-1 put to death for his crime. llistory reveals the fact
that the fiimsiest. pretexts have often been used by nations
as the ostensible cause for going to war.
In 1738 a certain English Captain Jenkins lost an ear.
This he carried about in lt hox nud when he was examined
at the bar in the House of Commons he flourished it dram-
atically in support of his story of Spanish cruelty to Brit-
ish subjects in South Seas. The report aroused great pub-
lic fndiganlion and Pulteuey, wnlting in support of war,
said: “We have no need of allies to enable us to command
justice; the story of Jenkins will raise volunteers." War
against Spain was actually declared the following year.
In 1773 the colonists of North America. were sularting
under the duties imposed on glass, paper, paints and tea-
a measure which was represented as
ll. cold-blooded, attempt to exploit the Colonies for the
benefit of the home tax-payer. To spite the Government
smuggling was indulged in to an abnormal extent and not
content with this, an organized attack was madain Boston
Harbour on the cargoes of the East India Company'a ships.
This was the affair known as the Boston Tea Party, so-
called because all the tea. on board the vessel was pitched
into the harbor by n band of prominent Boslonians, who
were disguised as llldian brnves. This incident was one
of the direct causes of the American War of independence
which began In 1775.
'Many other incidents of n trivial nature, or nt least
of a nature which would afford no Justification for the
arbitramellt of the sword, and yet led to anngulnary wars
might be quoted. The few mentioned above are sufficient
to show the willingness with which we accept excuses for
the comnliission of acts which we wish to commit.

N0'l`ES
EVERY IBLE BODIED MMI
We .advise people (says the Satur-
day Review) to pay no heed to the sed-
uctive trash about Gernlany being fin-
ancially exhausted ,by Midsummer
Day and suing tor peace. If they want
common sense and the obvious truth
about the present position, they should
turn to the February issue of the
“Nineteenth Century,” page 286 and
276. and take to heart what Colonel
Keene has to say in his article, “The
Source of Germany's Might.” The
‘historian of this war, says Colonel
Keene. when he comes to write of the
state of things now, “will have to re-
cord the fact tbst, after five months
of fighting, Germany, with very little
help fronl Austria. was holding up the
vast armies of Russia with one hand
and those of France and Great Britain
with the other; that the German
Eagle held the whole of Belgium in
one cruel talon, while the other was
plunged-.deep in the heart of Russian
Poland, and that the sacred soil of
the Fatherland remained practically
untouched." To write this and to re-
cognize tlle simple truth of it,
does not call for exception-
al knowledge or inspiration; in our re-
view lately of the first five months of
the war we pointed out this plain-
and unpopular-truth in slightly dlf--
ferent terms; namely, that Germany.
on land, had so far got tl) “‘a win" in
Belgium; (2) a "draw" in Poland a-
gainst Russia; and (3) “u draw” in
Northern France against France and
Great Britain. What sense in the world
or what patriotism, can there con-
ceivably be in refusing to face such a
fact as this? it may be argued, or pro-
tested, that Germany studlously over-
looks our successes at sen, and why
therefore should we not overlook her
successes on land! That is an argu-
ment tbat may be flt for "incorrigible
optimists” or perhaps for extremely
loyal party papers anxious to show
that the Cabinet is compact of
statesmen wllo, one and all, know how
to win the war as well as they know
how to win a bye-election. But it is
not an argument of good to anybody
else; and from n national point of
view it is contenlptibie. Until the in-
corrigibly optimists Government Press
gives up evening after evening killing
the Kaiser with its nlouth, and faces
the trtle and very patent facts of the
war today, its public will be continual-
ly buoylng itself up with vain hopes
and silly vaunts.
The Kaiser must be killed not with
the lnouth or the pen bllt with the rifle
and the sword, and the only way this
can be done is to work up and bring to
bear against Germany thewbole vast
resources of the country. Colonel
Keene does not, openly, recommend
putting the nation into arms by an
Act of Parliament: we think we are
right ill saying that his position and
work at the moment would not justify
him in taking and "controversial"
part of the kind-though we know
very well, we fancy, ills private
views in the matter. But though he
does not ask for obligatory service, he
shows in his article how Germany has
managed to put together the magnifi-
cent Army with which she now holds
at bay three great Empires, and at
the same time props up Austria. Her
-feat has been achieved by only one
lneans. and to crush her it is necess-
ary for all three ofthe chief' Allies to
adopt the smile process themselves.
France and ltussia have ofcourse done
so.” Great Britain alone hesitates.
"According to the Estimate passed
by the House of Commons ell the 16th
of November lust," writes Colonel
Keene. "the services of every able-
bodied man of suitable age will be re-
quired before tlle war is over." These
words have been described by n critic
“ns »alarlning," if only they will
alarm the slow understanding
of the professional opti-
mists and voluntarists into recogniz-
ing t`he truth about Germany's power
of resistence they will work untold
good. Colonel Keene is, in his position.
surely very unlikely to write anything
today which will prove inacceptable
to the best expert opinion. Therefore
let the light-hearted and irresponsible
optinlists lay to heart his grave warn-
illg- "Every able-bodied man of suit-
able age." Nothing more impressive
and responsible has been written on
the subject since the discussion be-
ban.
lu the same issue it happens that an-
other writer-by no lneans unknown
to readers of the Saturday Review-
Colonel Cregan, follows Colonel Keene
and declares openly for obligatory
service. Colonel Cregan is a very
clear and logical writer, who-unlike
many experts ln fact alld figure- has
a literary form and distinction which
make him good to read. He disposes
with good-hunlorcd ease ot' the terribly

the former in effect goes lilrllwl' and
persuades us that the only way is the
thorough way-that, to succeed speed-
ily. we must have a fair and genefil
law and call up the men of suitable

dle course, which ill peace time we
should fur prefer. Ile riddles the fool-
ish, vapid talk of “free men." ‘con-
scrlpt”; declares firmly that we fell
into this war unprepared; and mis-
judged Germany’s power as well 38
her intentions. But, as things stand
now, he says he thinks the Saturday
Review plan is too drastic; and sug-
gesgs -instead-that universal milit-
ary training should nt once be made
obligatory, but that. service abroad
should be left as a voluntary service.
Moreover. he would have the Govern-
ment call up at first only a proportion
of the suitable men. say a million;
and trust to a. sufficient number of
these offering for foreign service -
which it is confident they would do.
The remaining millions of men of suit-
able age would go on with the ordinary
trade and business of the country un-
til or unless they were needed.
Colonel Cregan considers this plan
less drastic than the Saturday Re-
vlow’s, which, he fears, the country
would still shy at. But surely he has
overlooked the fact that the Saturday
Review plan, even lnore gradually
than by his own, the neu would only
hc called up and chosen by ballot
as the authorities could train, arm anti
clothe them; and those not chosen
by ballot would go on with their or-
dinary work.
Moreover, would the men brought
in by Colonel Cregan's plan volunteer
for service abroad much more freely
and continuously, than they volunteer
now? lt would be fu-
ritating and perhaps even
fatal. if his plan were adopted and
then found useless, so that a fresh
plan had to be proposed ill its place.
Undoubtedly Colonel Cregan‘s plan
would appeal more to the present Gov-
ernment than the more thorough plan
we have ourselves advanced. The
Government would welcome a middle
way.Prohably they will choose to stay
in some such half-way house when thc
moment comes for a general obliga-
tion to be declared. But\ Colonel (‘re-
gan does not persuade us to abandon
ollr first thoughts on national service.
There can be no real distinction be-
tween homo and foreign service 'wllen
the obligation of every able-bodied
man is proclaimed. Home defence at
this crisis of the nation’s fate really
means foreign service; and it is that
we should seculp infallibly and at
once if we are to carry out the im-
mense design of tho Prime Minister.
Why cannot our statesulen pluck up
heart; ceaso quibbling and fiddling
and`paltering with the matter; and
take a straight, clean course to cer-
tain victory?

CANADIANS HA_,\_/ml;
SHOWN THEIR METAL.
LONDON, March 18.-Secretary for
War, Earl Kitchener, gave a brief re-
view of the war situation in tile house
of lords Monday evening.
He said that oilly trench fighting
had been possible for many weeks. but
this had not affected the morale of the
British troops. Recent occurrences
in the fighting around Neuve Chap-
pelle and Epiuette showed how nuc-
cessfully the British troops had been
able to take the offensive.
The Minister bt' War referred to the
gnllantry shown by the soldiers of lil-
tlla, and he spoke eulogistically of the
French army, which, he said, had
made important progress at various
points along the line, especially in
Champagne. where the soldiers of the
republic had given evidence of mark-
ed tenacity.
The situation in the Dardanelles
was well in build, the speaker decl r-
'ed, but he was unable to say mire
than had appeared in the press.
Progress in the work ot' 'equipping
llrltn.in's new armies had been seri-
ously lmpaired by failure to get suf-
ficient labor and the necessary factory
facilities.
“The supply' of war material is now
and for the next month or two, will
be a very serious consideration." he
said. “lt is causing me very serious
anxiety. It is absolutely essential that
_tho output of ammunition be increased.
To do so is of the utmost importance
to the operations ill the field."
Continuing along this subject, Earl
Kitchener urged firms in certain lines
to place their spare labor and machin-
ery at the disposal of the Government.
He said that he considered that men
engaged in the supplying of nlllni-
tions were serving their country as
much as the mcn in the field, and that
ll. medal would be issued to the work-
ers on munitions of war on the suc-
cessful termination of hostilities.
Tile health of the British troops was
remarkably good, was another declara-
tion made by the war secretary, nd n
striking testimony to the value of the
inocculatlou.

Tile secretary of wltr said he was
satisfied that to mention this restric-
tion on tho output of war material,
would remove the difficulties which
seriously hampered the progress of
recruiting.
Referring to the Canadian division,
.tho speaker said:

tionof Field Marshal Sir John French

which they have performed their
