VInrent Massey, On JiUy 1 Canada celebrated her sixtieth birthday. Although three and a quarter centuries have pas-sed since tlie llr.st Kuropcan settlements were cstabliaheU by Chainpiain on what is now Canadian territory, the creaticn ' of Canada as a I>ominion stretching from »ea to soa is the achievement of, men whoso memory la still fresh. The Dominion of Caitaid« la a newly belli edifice but It has been raised ' on anoi-eiit foundations. The coraposl- 1 tlon of the structure Is revealed la ' the Cv>at of Anns which Canada has 'â- . c-ho.sen as her national 8yml)ol. The ' ancient stock from which Canadians ' have sprung is represented on the quartcrlnga by the l«opards of Eng- ' land, the Jllles of Franco, the Hon of j Scotland, and the Irtah harp. The new nationality made up of theee elementg ' Is marked by the throe maple leaves j w<lilch havo become tho special em- blem of Canada. The shield la sup- ported by those traditlooial heraldic beasts, the lion and the unicorn, which «ain be eald to stand for those Drltlsh Institutions which all Canadians In- herit. Surmounting the whole Is the Drltlsh crown, the mystic synil)ol of the sovereignity to which Canada owes allegiance sub a. free solf-governlng na- tion within the Urltlsh Empire. Canada liaa been blessed with vaat natural treasure. The development of her legacy In her forests and In her mines, In her fields and In her water- ways, haa been reeourcefully and Minister to the United States cooirageously pursued. The record of economic progress in the three score years since Canada became a united nation reads like a fairy tale until one encounters the solid ll^ires which en- dow it with fact. The new epoch wlilcli V.-0 have entered now that tho aftermath of four and a half years of effort In the great war Is receding into the i>aat will reveal an adrance even swifter and no less sure. Canada Is now a nation In the fullest sense. The union which waa effected iu 1867 and in the six sucooodlng years ^ has been followed through <he genera- tions by a spiritual unification and a symmetrical development of the na- tional life of Canada until on her sixtieth birthday her cltlz«na can look with pride on their achievement in all fields of human endeavor. Just OS Canadians are expressing: their natlORal life In many spheres of activity, so the Dominion as a whole is happy to take Its place In tho world at large. On this great occasion In her his- tory, Canada salutes hef neighbor to the Houtli with renewed greetings and assurances of frcndshlp. Tho rela- tion between his Majesty's oldest Do- minion and the great American repub- lic has been an example to the world. It la the wish of Canada that the con- cord which has prevailed between those two democracies for so long should bo etrengthoned and deepened as the years go on.

THE GALLIPOLI TRAGEDY nNDING THE MOCCASIN FLOWER Ths winding wood-road pa.ssed through dim aisles of \vhi«i)i'riiig pine tret'K. At a sloop plac-e, a l>ent greon B.toni slpflcheJ half across the path, and from it «way<'d a rose-rod flower like a hollow scfl.shoLl carved out of Jacinth. For the llrst timo I looked down on the mosaasin flower, or pink lady-slipper, the largest of our native orchidf. . . . For the first time my eyes were opcaed to see what a love- ly thing a flowor could be. In tho half light I kne<1t on tlie sioft plne- needUM and studied long the hollow purplo-pink shell, veined with crim- son, set between two other tapering petal's of greenish-purple, like a tmpal nf the same color curved overhead. The whole flower swayed between two large curved, grooved leavetj. I..eavlng tlte ixith, I began to hunt fcr others und«r the great trees, and at last came upon a whole congrega- tion nodding and swaying In long rows around Uie vast trunkal of white pines â- whtch Were old tree* whe this country was bom. yrom that day I became a hunter of orchMe and a haunter of far-away forests r.nd lonely marshlands and un- Visited imiUops and mounrUln ivides. L . . Th*y «ire strange flowers, these orchids. When llrst th^y wer:? made out of snnshine, mist, and dew, ofwy 'color was gruntC'l them savo one. ,Tbey may wear siu>w-wtite, roee-red, .pearl and gold, ivory and rose, yel- 'low, gold and brown, every shade of ,<7rlm«on and pink. OnJy the blues are (IsQied them. Since that first great day I have (found ths moccasin flower In many I IplaoMâ€" on th« top of barren hills and ; iln th« black-lands of northern Can- 1 â- da, wbsre four feet uitder the ptvit, | the loe never melts even In mldsum- 1 mer. . . Again In tho tiptop of, Mount IV>cono, In Pennsylvania. I id Just found the long sought nest ] of m cbo»tnut«ldod warbler. Even I aihil(WM( the male bird, with his ' bits cb#aiMD *nA golden Itead and j IfjIiMtnutM'vskMi sides, and the four lUs Sacked pink pMirtai, my er* niy knero rogflrdle,?.3 for a moment i of nMt, eggs, birds, and all. Among I rcae-hearted f wiiillowora nnd wild liliffl of the valley and snowy dwarf I cornola swung three mossaslii flowers { in a lino. Tlw outer on«a, like the I Kuai\l;{tars of great Altalr, were light I in color. Hetwccn them gk-umed, like tho Eaglo Star it.self. a flower of de-ep- est rose, an unearthly crystalline color, like a raln-d.reiiched Jacinth. . . Then there was the day In tho depths of tho plne-burrena. The woods looked like a shimnioring pool of changing greens lapping over a white sand-land that had been thrust up from the South Into the vary heart of the North. I followed a winding wood-path along the high bank of a sitream stained hrown and etooped sweet with u mlHk>n owlar- roots. ... On and on tho path lad, past Jade-green pools In which gleam- od bufl* of the yellow pond-lily, like lumps of floating gold. .At last the path stretched straight toward the flat-topped mound that sliowed dim and fair through the low trees. . . Near the summit of the mound the iwth was lost In a foam of the blue, lilac, and white butterfly blossoms of the lupine. Little olouds of fragrance drifted through the air, aa the wind swayed rows and rows of the trans- jwrent bells of the leuoothe. The in- most <:ircloof the mound waa carpeted with dry gray reindeer moss, and be- fore nw!, In the centre of the circle, drooped on slondea- stems seven rose- red nioocasln flowre.â€" Samuel Sooville Jr., in "Everyday Adventures." From tho Allied point of view Gal- llpoU was the bitterest tragedy of the war. It disappointed the one real hope the original Allies had of win- ning the war unaided. It was the one strategical conception of ambitious scope and genuine value on the Allied side â€" the only counter-thrust to the original German drive on the western front, which pinned the bulk of the Allied forces down to a long-drawn and agonizing western defensive. Un- fortunately an eastern oflTenslve could not greatly Interest France, with her soli occupied and the enemy within forty or fifty miles of her capital. The first Marne campaign had this be- numbing effectâ€" that It prevented a broad and intelligent use In the first year of the war of the opportunity to take Constantinople, isolate Turkey, draw Bulgaria, Greece and Humanla into the anti-Teutonic alliance and es- tablish easy and permanent communi- cations with Russia. • • • Captain W. D. Puleston's brochure, "The Dardanelles Expedition," pub- lished by the United States Naval In- stltuto, and now appearing in a re- vised and enlarged second edition, ap- proaches this tragedy with cool po- fessional reserve â€" in the skeptical spirit of those who have maintained since 1916 that the Gallipoll adven- ture was largely an amateur vagary inspired by Winston Churchill. As a uuval ofllcer ho believes that the tra- dition undoubtedly well-founded- that ships are at an enormous disad- vantage in attacking forts or land batteries was rashly ignored by the Allied naval expedition. But at tho Dardenelles there v.'as a factor offset- ting tho natural superiority of land defenses. That wl^s the possibility â€" or to say probability â€" of Turkish lack of preparedness. Had the Turks an adequate supply of ammunition for the forts at the Narrows? Had they a sufficient stock of mines? Would the defense of the Narrows not have broken down through exhaustion in the face of a much better conducted and organized Joint naval and mili- tary attack? The chief cause of .Al- lied depression after the failure of the naval operation of March 19, 1916, was tho mistaken belief that the mines which caused such heavy losses were set adrift by the Turks and float- ed down the channel, when, in fact, the Allied vessels had struck an un- ' suspected mine field freshly laid by tho Turks The second volumo of Mr. Churchill's recent work contains tes- timony from CJermnn and Turkish sources to show that the straits de- fense was not ovorsupplled with mines and munltiona and that tho chance of a break through was not entirely desperate. • « • Tho author's conclusion from his review of tho naval operations is not alono that they were Incffectlvo an<l unlucky, but also that the Dardanel- les could not have been forced. That is very different from holding that the offlensive was bungled from the start through failure to co-crUlate tho naval and the military effort. As to tho j situation on the paulnsula. Captain ! Puleston la equally convinced that not ' British military blundering alono â€" â-  and it was ucutej^ and continuous â€" left thu Turks in possession of the penln- ; sulu. He rates tho Turkish army ! very high l^(d' thinks that it desierved ! to win. Turkey developed a great I leader In Mustaphu Kemal â€" the soul ' of the resistance at Gallipoll, without whom the coveted crests might have j been lost. The Turks fought well un- der him. But after Gallipoll the Turk- 1 ish army rapidly deteriorated. It was never the same again. There is noth- ing in the QalUpoU record to show that a better organized and equipped expeditionary army, landed promptly on the peninsula and reinforced amp- ' ly Instead of by driblets, could not I have done what General Ian Hamll- 1 ton, with all his difllcultles, discour- agomeuts and lack of support, barely mlnsod dolus. • • • The books'p treatment of the naval and land operations is succinct and ' graphic and Is darllled by many maps. I it is a critical study which deserves j consideration for its professional quality. GaUlipoll was a tragic mill- I tary failure, whatever thg reasons. I Judged roalistic.nlly on its porform- ance it must be accepted as such. I When the author, however, uncon- ditionally condemns the strategical* concept behind it he wanders ta» afield He is a pronounced Westerner and holds that the Allies In 1915 and later fahould have used all their forces on tho western front He believes the* Allied vessels used at the Dardanel-** les would have have been better em- * ployed In the North Sea or the Baltic. . The Baltic attack was a hobby of Admiral Fisher's. The British dlvl- . Blons sent to the Dardanelles In 1315 might have been thrown against tho ' Germans in France But to what good purpose? The British New Armies were used up there in 191G and 1917 without appreciable results in a man- . ner of which Marshal Foch, in his preface to Field Marshal Haig's Dis- ' patches, said sadly: "If a war is to . end in victory, it must always have », character different from this." Take the British waste of men and ' munitions at Nueve Chapelle in • March, 1915. These men and muni- tions were sacrificed to mere local * I "attrition." In Gallipoll they might . j have enabled Hamilton to capture » come of the commaadins Turkish » positions and open the roid to Co:-.- stantinople â€" a prize of enorm.ous * I political and military value. I Tho Allied armies could net havo j beaten Germany on tha western frint , ; except Cor the American intorvontioa. iThcy had a chcnco o.t Gailip.;!! t;) cut • ,ott Turkey, ncutralir? Uulgsria an>l , carry their front to tha couthorn CaI- â- pathiacs and the Dauubo. That was * v.-orth every possible military effori. * Unhappily, the only effort made v.a3 • that which Kitchener's feeble man- . agement wrecked. â€" Wlliam L. Mc- pherson in N. Y. Herald-Tribuno.

Farmers from tho tobacco-growing States of the Union, particularly Ken- tucky, are moving In conslderble num- bers into tho tobacco districts of On- tario and othe provinces; luquirioa are being m.-.de of the Canr.diiia authorities by many marc. The railway authoritiej an;l the of- ilclalj of tobacco camnanies belicva that this movement will develop into an important migration. It is held by tho Held men of tho tobacco coin- panies that growing and markclins conditions in Canada are better than they are in the United State.-=. thj soil not having been depleted and the British preferential tariff being ta tha advantage of tha Dominion growers. Tha effort to stimutato tobacco- cul- ture iu tho British Isles does not seem to be regarded as a menace to the future of the plintations under tho British flag on this continent. Can- ada is doing everything in Its power to strengthen the tobacco industry In all departments, and this greatly en- courages growers as well as ths owners of facteres. â€" N. Y.
