The British army is not going to Sjubmit tanaely to as- phyxiation, and the wind docs not always bfcw from the German ticncL- es. It has u habit of changii g its direction. While it is not likely :hat the .Mlies will lower themselves to the position of beasts and coramcu murderers, there isuo doubt whatever that reprisals will be taken by the men, probably not under orders of then snporiors. lu a battle, when an emeuy asks foi- quarter, it rests <.niirely with the ordinary combul- ants whether such quarter shall be given. Throughout this war it has never been refused. Now, however, sufficient cause hi? been given to complete the grim tragedy wherever opportunity ofTers, and the German vipers will be more severely dealt with m future by the rank and file than tlioy have been in the past. Canadians, ef^ptcially, have occas ion to wage a meitiless war ayaiiisi the Hun, and they will do so. Ben- limcnml or humanitarian considera ticnjs slioiild no lunger restrain their arms from the woik ol annihila- tion of a foe beyond the pale ofcon- eideratioii. Munlerers, boasts and inhumau caricatures of mankind tiit-y should be wiped off the face of the earth from Kai.-or to Kultur, in order to make room for a free air un.l fVcf growth of christian brotherhood, iin. -contaminated by the beer soaked foetid breath of these emissaries of -Hiitan. ill the past the Allies have enter^ •lainud a certain uiiiount ofsjmpathy ivith the German tank and fili>, be- lieving that they were in a sense lighting under compulsion. Their acta tliioughoul this war have shown this sympathy to have born misplaced. The rank and lile of the Ocrman urmies have proved theiusolves to be (juito as inhninan as their biutal niaateiB, »nd hereafter the Allies need have no more compunction in annihi- faling lliein, individually or collectiv- ely, than they would in destroying a nest of serpents or stamping out a liestilenco.

Every uiau, woman and child, fioiu the Kaiser down, have been put on ratiouK. The idea is three -fold, to •(uard against any possible emergencies, to mis- lead the foe into over-confidence and by thoroughness to bring »uch pressure to bear as will batten the final decision. Br.tani is i<ui-aulni; the 8ani>; course.

Tu all llio peop e. and to firiii- ers, breedcis and settler.s in pariicul.ir, the Patriotism and Production movement thai is in progress is bi'.>4Â¥ini» its bi>yle, or, in other'word.4, carryiiii; its ineHsuiiu. Its object is to arouse all and sundry ti the part they are called on to play. Thtt part does not of nccea-sity mean hauler work nor it, creased acreage; lut it di cs imply In order to secure increased and improved production, \»y which alone cultivat(ir') of the soil can contribute to- wards the credit ol the country and em- pire, the greatest care in the selection of seed, in the bieedin){ of livu-stock and in tC'.inoiiiy of the land. Let's Hang The Kaiser We fay hear! heai ! to Ihu following which appeared in lieck'.s Weekly of last week : With the peraonal gtief of these Le- rcavcd Canadians who havo to nionin a liiisbund, ason, a fither or a lover, the public has no light to concern it.self. 'I'lie profouiidest sympathy at such a moment, is that which is inoit silent, liut apart from the irresistible - aruui.sh of personal all", ction, there should be no i;rlef or hiuiuniatioii over the sudden cut- ting off of '.hesc Klorions lives. Thara is not a single hero of this terrible campaign of whom it is not truu that he, bcii i> dead, yet Kpeaketh. There is not one of them who, if his life had been prolonged for another forty years, could have done one-tenth as much for Canada, for civili- /.alion, for all that makes life ^reat and noblu upon this earth, as ho did in those brief moments of sacrifice on the blood- stained fields of Kelgiuni. There is no waste in a death like this. These men have baptized with their blood a nation which was in urgent need of such a con- secration, and which will sbaw itself worthy of it. Without sacritice theie is no true worship; without shedding of blood there is no remission. A nation is not aware that it has ideals until it has p:ii I in the laying down of life for the cherishing of th> III. The men who died at Vprcs died that Canada might live and C.itjada will live to do credit to them. Tliey died as they would have desirtd to die. liiNtead of mourning over their dra'h, Canadi'tns should hold a solemn service of pra'se and rejoicing, and thank Gild that He hats made us not nnworthy of our forffai hers. â€" Beck's Weekly.

The soft-hearted huiiianll- arianisni which during the last few cent- uries his ab,soKed person d rnhrs from r>siioiisil)ility for the (•riniot which ibey have coiiiniitted in w ir is nut based upon Chiistianity or justice. It is the result iiiiiiiily of the uKtcnsivc inter-inarriago of the reigning tainilie.'s, which has oivon ineiy royal personate a ,set of relatives and defenders in every country in Kur- ope. This iuler-matriaue syste-ii. we may confidently believe, is now dead. The progress of democracy and the Ki-owth of national conscionsnesH will hcnoefoiih ninke it, impossible fir a nation such as the British to view with eiiuaniuiity the lyiiiK up of its monarchy with an en- tHn)(lin){ web of "alliances" which are pnwerless to prevent w.irfira and efVoct- ive only to prevent jiistice hein^ done U|'oii those who made tho war.

One of the same coiiijianies that bimcood the f*riiicrs with iron centred rods last year ia reported to be selling tho same rod again this year. Watch out f^ir them. There is no dilVimlty in spotting thcve rods. The outside covering is a tirn sheet of copper. Inside of the copper i-* a strip of galvani/.ed steel or iron om' half inch wide .mil I wo (.'alvanized steel or iron wires about Ni>. If. Tho copper sheath is twisted'arouiid the strip .md wires giving the rod a cornuated appeal - ance. The steel or ir m will rust out in from five to ten years. For phologriph of what happened to a rod of this kind i>i loss than eight yeirs, see Figure 'M, Bullotiii 2'2'.>, which may be had by wri'- inj the Deparliiieiit of Agriculture, m Toronto. An Illinois lirm is circninring the Irmle and others advocating the "Mast' Lightning Rod System. They declare Ihat twisted ciblos are positively dancei • nus, claiming tlioy act like "choke-coil?, ' ilist tubes only should be used, that iii- Niiliitors must be used, etc. For con- cent rated essence of error those circiilais surpass anylhing eNu 1 have seen. Beware of the man with the iron- centred rod .tiid the man who claims tint twisted cables ore dangerous. This Depart mont will be glad to be inforniod regarding the operations of either. Win. II.
