_.W l 5 9 wai*__news- of the past two or
th e as be§n,:qjitimistic and cheer-
in ` iti ,dwaitfthaultimate issue of- the
pr ent attle with an'x’ety. The Germans
ha e made a considerable advance' consi-
derable that is, in view of the comparative-
ly short distance our troops can safely af-
ford to retire. One point of the battle line
is only about six miles from Compeigiie, an
important railway centre and the present!
objective of the enemy. Should any fur-5
ther retirement occur here it would mean*
a serious inconvenience to the allied for-_
ces. '
The Germans are so anxious to cut this
railway and to broaden their salient out in
this direction that they are ready to pay
any price for it in human lives. And they
e already paid a fearful price. A cor-
ion'd&t`wiith"tlie'Alliedi armiies describ-
ing the fighting on Monday and Tuesday
said tliai "slaughter, hecatombs of dead,
shambles” are words that can be used-
though weakly to describe the German los-
ses. Troops that attack are always sub-
ject to the heaviest losses, and here the
enemy advanced so slowly that the French
artillery was able to withdraw leisurely,
when necessary andreplace batteries in,
positions and to prepare for the most accu-|
rate fire. Machine gunners were able to
pick the most advantageous position for
murderous execution of the advancing
‘scription has- shown itself twice as efficient
as voluntarism, and a thousand timesmore
just. 'l‘hree years of the volunteer system
brought enlistment inequalities and with
them cleavages between races, provinces,
and creeds. Six months of conscription
have made sacrifices universal and created
better feeling among our people than has
existed since the beginning of the war.
Today in Quebec indifference has given
way to a spirit of war patriotism for exceed
ing anything the most sanguine among us
had hoped for. And as time goes on, and
these young French-Canadians who are
now joining the color§"'"rear up a gnew
structure of patriotism and christen it with
their blood, a new feeling, a better . and
greater and more sympathetic under-
standing will come among us all, an un-
derstanding and a sympathy which had
been perilously near disaster and-without
which true national unity in this country
could not endure.--;%o(ronto Ex.

In his address to the Synod of Toronto,
says the Daily News, the Bishop of Huron
referred to the changes that have come
over the economic and industrial life of the
nation in the last four years. He said that
prior to the war society had come to a pass
where the methods of the jungle were
largely in vogue. Uncompromising compe-
tition had become a universal principle.
Everybody was against everybody else.
The prevailing doctrine was ‘fthe survival
of -the fittest.” But, he added, the old sys-
tem was now breaking up. That in his
opinion was the meaning of government
control and of government ownership.
These advances had been made necessary
by the strain of the war. But if such re-
form were essential for efficiency and for
tion in time of war why not in time oi'
hordes. The line has bent and iiuctuated as
thejstruggle progresses. Hills and villagesi
were taken and retaken again and again.,
This of course meant allied losses as well as,
German, but there can be no doubt that,l
owing to the manner of attack, the Ger-E
man losses were incomparably greateri
i
th ‘ _ . _
aliy/(iizllisall their losses the Germans madei unsatisfactory and altogether wrong. Real
but slow progress. According to our des-`
patches yesterday Gen. Foch, since the
drive toward Amiens stopped, has had the,
bulk of his reserves in or near the area that*
is now, being attacked between Montdidier
and.Noyon. Not only are these troops with-
in striking distance of the front, but therewoming Order promised to be far more in;
are circumstances which also mitigate,
against the success of the Germans. The;
high hills which are now the zone of heavy|
fighting are but outposts of the positions
which are prepared along the Oise river,
which bisects the field upon which the bat-
tle will be fought if the first lines of de-
fences are overwhelmed.
The present attack on the line east of
Montdidier may be considered as a com-
plement of the offensive along the Aisne,
and, when the map is studied, it will be
seen that the “pincer” system, followed by
Mackensen in Russia, Serbia and Rouma-
nia, is again at work. If the thrust just
west of Noyon succeeds in gaining ground
to any large extent it will approach the
line from Soissons to Chateau Thierry. On'
the other hand- if the drive gains ground
further west it will outflank the positions
held by the French and Americans at Mont
didier and compel their readjustment_ The
wings, however, seem to be holding firm,
and the only gains so far have been where
they can do the least harm. _
Speculation as to the immediate result
of the present battle is idle, but on the
new field the Allies have two points in their
favor. They are on the inside of the semi-
circle and so have the shorter lines, and
their positions are all in the territory di-
rectly fed by rad-ial railroads from Paris.
The advantage of local mobility should lie
with them. According to our despatches
yesterday morning the battle was then at
the critical stage where any advantage on
either slde would count very' materially.
Time is with our Allies and against the
enemy. We are playing for time; he
against it for time is steadily pouring re-
inforcements into the Allied ranks. The
enemy knows if he cannot win now, be-
fore oiinrecruitifrom the United States
arrive his case is hopeless. That he will
throw everything into the melting pot
ngw we may rest assured and the next few
davs will tell the story. I

The Bishop declared that there had also
been hopeful changes in the relationship
between Capital and Labor. Before the
war that relationship was too often a bel-
ligerent one. Such conditions were wholly

England to give workmen a voice in the ina

Invasion of the United States by the
boil weevil has resulted in the substitution
.if food crops for cotton. The last United
States census, for instance, showed less
than 1,000,000 acres in peanuts, while in
1917 the area was 3-277,000 acres, the in-
:rease being directly traceable to the boll
yeevil. One state increased its area 800
per cent. The peanut enters largely into
_iur present food supply. When ready to
iarvest, the labor-saving farmer can turn
n his cattle to feed on the tops. Then, if
'ns mind turns towards the hams, bacon
ind pork chops, he turns loose the “razor
backs,” which diligently uproot the nuts.
A If pork is not in the farmer’s line, then
he must harvest the peanuts and to the
mills they go for peanut butter. Some pea-
:iuts are sent to the crushers which make
from them a clear, cold, pressed salad oil,
sometimes designated as “olive.” Your toi-
let soap, perhaps, is made from some of
the_lower grades of peanut oil. After the
oil is pressed out, the meal is ground into
stock feed, which makes meat, milk and
butter. Is it any wonder that the South has
a “Peanut Bank,” and that an increased
acreage will be planted this season.-Wall

might be the merits of the question,
might complicate the situation touch-
ing the now united churches to a de-

The motion to provide two minis-
ters for the united church got through
on .these considerations but only with
,the adoption ofa memo making re-
;cord of the coinmittes’s views upon

misnpprehension concerning the law.
More churches than men was the
fact which increased the difficulty of
completing the station sheet. This
situation has been partly met by or-
daining several probationers tempora-
rily from their college course. that is.
the committee sends this proposal up
to the conference with its recommen-
dation. How the conference will re-
ceive it is not certain for while the
necessities of the work are undoubt-

men to their college course und the
prime importance of adequate scho-

The conference has received n new
minister in the person of the Rev.
Henry ‘Scott of Newfoundland, whose
credentials are now deposited with

igion any proof of goodness." No it is
no proof of goodness but is' presumpt-

of religion is a good man, but there
ire so many exceptions that we 'have
