destroyed it would not by any means open a way
to the heart of France which, ostensibly, is the ob-
jective. It would, however, give the Germans some-_
thing to boast about to their people, something to

The great need of the world to-day is efficiency,
and efficient labour can command its own wage. Here
in our littleprovince there is less variety of oppor-=
tunity for young men than in the larger centres, but
we are by no means without our opportunities. The.-
work heretofore done by some two thousand men is
to be carried on by those who are left. It is up to
bolswr “P ‘he laggmg °°“mg° °f their wldiers and-r these to so fit themselves for and so adjust them-
something also to quiet the uneasy consciousness
among the common people that Germany -is after all
not going -to win the war. i
There are significant reports from Holland, how-
ever, that may indicate developments which will have
a marked effect upon the future of the \var. Holland
has suffered much from German piracy. Many of
her ships have been sunk by German submarines. She
has suffered much and complained but little. Recently,
as our despatches told she had formally protested to
the Central Powers against the wanton destruction
of her ships and the damage to her commerce from
thc activities of German raiders. Our despatches this
morning seem to indicate that Holland has reached
the limit of endurance. indignation has taken the
place of protest and the people have risen 'in their
wrath. The military unloaded a train filled with
selves to the work they undertake that the work will
be done better than ever before and that the province _
shall not be any the poorer materially because of the
temporary loss of so many of its men. There is no
room under the new order of things for the shirker,
for tl\c man who keeps one eye on the clock and the
other on his work, no room for the man who refuses
to do his best because he thinks hislwork is worth.
more than his wage.
_ This is a time of opportunity such as we have
never before experienced, a time for rebuilding our
province, for rebuilding ourselves and for fitting our-
selves into the new conditions which have been thrust
upon us. The race is not to the swift nortlte battle
to the strong, but to the honestly eflicient and Ht. _This

vegetables bound for Germany. All exports from-  no _
Holland have been prohibited and some have been
stopped in transit. The navy and army are both being
put in readiness for eventualities, and it would appear
as if the eventualities were-about\to be realized. llol-
land has until nowrcmained strictly neutral. She has
protested against German injustice, but her protests
were unheeded. Now her patience is exhausted and
it would not be a surprise if within-the next few days
she loo would be drawn into the caldron that now
involves practically all of Europe.
\\'l_1at would Holland's entry into the \var mean?
There is no doubt as to which side she would throw
in her lot with. Lying right across the English
Channel from England, her entry into the war would
mean the opening of her ports to the Allies. England
could pour troops through the ports of Holland at
the rear of the German army. The opening of Holland
would, judging from the geographical situation, solve
many difficulties for the' Allies, not so much from
the _help which the Dutch army and navy would give
them, which would be considerable, but for the oppor-
tunities for landing troops at points which would
seriously threaten the flank and rear of the German
army. The outcome of this new phase will be anxious~
ly awaited.

. QU! UPPURTUNITIES
The calling away of so many of our young men for
military service has left many vacancies in the com-
mercial agricultural, industrial and professional ranks
in this province; vacancies which, as nearly as possible,
must be filled by those \vho remain.` To_ fill some two
thousand or more vacincies, however, is no easy task
and many of them will certainly remain unfilled.
There are the usual complaints from some sections*
about the roads, complaints this year belated somewhat
beyond the usual season, as the storms have been-
belated. Such complaints are not peculiar to this or
any year, to the present or any other road system.
" They are perennial and the causes for them are also
‘ perennial. ‘ _
' The heavy snowstorm of last week was followed
by a thaw which rapidly converted the newly fallen
i snow into water and the roads in many places into
waterways. Where roadmasters anticipated this and
provided for it by opening watercourses along the sides
of the road there was no trouble. _\Vhere this was
_lneglected there was serious trouble, -in some cases _the
