It is only by maintaining our strength to the end and beyond the end that we can hope for a peace that will be commensurate with our sacrifices and that will realize the aim for which we undertook ‘the work. Military authorities still maintan that there is still a long road ahead before peace is secured, and they are urging a continuation of effort and preparation for years moreof war. This is the part of wis- dom. A study of the map shows that there lis still a long and a diiiicult road to trav- ,erse before we reach the Rhine and the war . ’ ' _ f _.-_ _rvr IIIRKESIAN GETS UP AS REPUBLIC - H14* C0nBid€\‘-Hble mystery surrounds the Selling UD Of 11 republican form of Government in Turkestan, which was announced some week; ogg, Since then we have heard nothing of it, and ut the moment sire unable to__deter- I minc whether the inhabitatnts of Tur- llcestan acted un their own initiative in UW Sleil ll\€y took or whether they wcro inspired by Germun agents.

Rawlings, of North Rustico, had a similar loss and last year had nine killed. Apart altogeth- er from the value of sheep at present and the loss entailed in having them killed by dogs the question of the rights of property holders to protection comes in, There is no protection now from sheep-killing' dogs and the only protection possible is to get rid of the dogs. ' There are in this province many hund- reds of dogs and it is safe to say that not one in a hundred is worth its keep, while the ninety-nine are not only a nuisance and a danger to the community, but wasters of food that in these war times could be pro- fitably fed to hogs or other animals. Sheep-killing dogs are usually the inno- cent looking dogs that stay around home in the, day time and whose good conduct will be vouched for by their owners. It iff quite safe to assume that no owner of a sheep-killing dog knows of the evil habits' of his dog, and this is what constitutes the whole dog menace. It is known that many farmersin the vicinity. of Charlottetown have positively declined to take up sheep- raising because of the danger from dogs whose homes are in Charlottetown. At pre- sent farmers cannot afford to hold aloof from sheep-raising; it is one of the most profitable lines of stock-raising; moreover both the wool and the mutton are sorely needed and will be for many years. It is therefore exceedingly unjust that for tnt sake of shielding an army of worthless cun this greatly needed national industry should be hampered. There is only one remedy; tax the dogs so heavily that only those of them that ar worth the tax shall be kept. The tax al present is one dollar for males and three for females. It should be at least thrice as much, and should be collected. The law provides that the owner of a dog proven guilty of sheep-killing is responsible for the damage, but, as already said, the sheep killers are the innocent ones that remain at home during the day and are not easily identiied when on their marauding expe- ditions at night. ‘ We need sheep; the farmers need them; the Empire needs them. We do not need dogs. We have shortened our food con- sumption to save food for our soldiers and our Allies; we have a right to cut down the present wastage of food on worthless dogs; a right to permit the farmers to raise sheep, in order to provide the meat and the wool which are so much_needed_ i_____X,______.__ '|‘ I I E \\' .\ R We are winning the war. This is clearly indicated by .our despatches of the past few days. On the front between Arras and the Somme River and as far south as the Soissons sector the Germans have appar ently been demoralized and their resist- ance panicky and desultory. They have lost many thousands of prisoners and thou- sands of guns. The fighting front is rap- idly nearing the old Hindenburg line where the Germans will undoubtedly make a stand or an attempt to stand. Since the retreat began they have 'had ample time to strengthen their fortifications on the Hin- denburg line and no doubt the fighting will be intensified when this point is reached. The German hope evidently is to spend the winter in the old dugouts and trenches on the Hindenburg line. The next few ‘-veeks, perhaps the next few days, will pro- bably determine whether they shall be able to do so. _ We must not suppose that the Germans, although now being hustled back over ter- ritory they had previously won, are “all 1n.” They are not. They suffered severely; so did we when they were doing the driving and we' have not yet recovered .all we 'had _must be handed out to them. 'i`o do this, ,to secure what the scriptures call “an ab- *nndant entrance” into Germany we must Istill have more men, more food, more mu- Initions, more effort. i__)_0(_.__.l I .\ \\'()Nl)l‘Il{l"l.fl. l{l‘I(‘()lil) Considering the 'terrific burden France has carried for more than four years olt' war her present ` military and industrial _strength is marvellous. The editor of Le ill/latin, Stephane Lauzane, who is a member of the French war mission to the United States, has made public facts and figures in reply to German assertions that France is reduced ‘to exhaustion. The French, as '1 matter of fact, still have a more numer- ,ous army in the western theatre than any Iother Entente nation. At the beginning oi 1914 the French army numbered 1,500,000 men, and now, at the beginning of the fifth year, it contains 2,750,000 men. _ At the beginning I of the war France could make few heavy guns, not many field guns, and a very limited supply of ammuni- I tion. A very wonderful thing has been the expansion of her war industries in spite of ,the fact that so great a percentage of heir' linen were in the army and that her casu-' _ ilti-es have been greater than those of ani' I lther Allied power. In 1914 t‘he French Iliad only sixty-eight heavy batteries. ,year later thev had 272. In June, 1917 I they had 6,000 heavy guns. Up to January of this year the French not only supplied lihemselves with small arms and artiller_‘,» but delivered to Allied nations l,350,00(" rifles, 80,000,000 cartridges, 16,000,000 lautomatic rifles, 10,000 mitrailleuscs, 2,500 Iheavy guns, and 4,750 airplanes. Since then the French have been making several hundred field guns every month for the Americans. ,Although a considerable part of her territory was in the enemy’s hands, including her most valuable coal areas, the _French coal production is almost as great as it was before the war, and, counting only the mining areas still available, it is forty per cent. greater than it was in 1913. The Rank of France had the greatest gold re- serve in its history on January 1 last. The French have loaned more than a billion to her Allies, and of their total war expendi- ture, exceeding twenty billions, they have 'secured only two .billions from outside sources, the rest having been raised by tax- ation or loans by the French themselves. These are but a few facts and figures from a record which contains many won - ders. While the British and the Americans will have to supply most of the man power for the campaign of 1919, it must not be forgotten that France will have in the field next year an army exceeding 2,500,000, and it will be composed largely of veteran troops of the very highest fighting quality. N_o _price will be thought too high to pay for giving such a nation peace and security. What it has done for itself and for the world will command 'admiration for cen - Ituries to come. NOTES Sir Eric Geddes says that: “Instead of losing tonnage, the wor1d’s net result in the last quarter has been a gain, roughly, of 100,000 tons a month. The Allied and ‘neutral world was a,s well off on June 30th as on January lst, 1918. The result has been obtained by reduced sinkings and in- creased buildings.” U “Canadians Plunge Ahead at Raye,” says the headline across the top of the first page of Friday’e’ New York World. “French and Canadians Advance on Eight-Mile lost. , They lost many guns large and small; Front,” is the corresponding line in Satulr-~ e so did we in our retreat. It is possible that they have lost their courage and their hope; we never did, even-‘in _the darkest _days of the war.
