The peace proposal emanating through Gonnaay's ChanceUor, Hol- wegj, baa not th« true ring, and will never be the basis, much leas the terms upon wbl<A liostlliLies Bhall cease. Great Britain's reply thereto was admirably presented by Uie new prime minister, Lloyd George, and which i!e«ma to have the conisensus of | the aUles opinion of the situation. | In the first place, the propo&al for ; peace Is based on the falsehood that Germany la victorious so far In the i war, when as a fact, she has lost I uearly all of her colonial posHeseions, I ha.9 been beaten on the moBt Import- { ant front â€" the western, and has only posFossion of a couple of small states ' and a small part of Ftauce which she occupied almost without res-istauce at the start. Since that time, she has gained no- ihlng Important, but has lo£t .strategic (ruund, and has about e.xhausted her resources of both means and men. I'nder these circumstances her peace propotial have been rightly denounced by the allies as insincere and put forth for the sole purpose of gaining time to recuperate her almost depleted re- jourcee. The world waited for the word of David Lloyd George, as from an orac- ular divinity of Delphi, backed by the dignity and authority of an empire. It ; came forth with no uncertain sound, i and characterized the German tender : of peace as an offensive act, a play to | the neutrai galleries, and an effort to deceive the German people and to | bolster their c&use In the Teuton mind. I We arv all thankful that the nations ' dghtlng with Great Britaiu also reject- ] ed the German proposal with equal emphasis as dishonest, and not even fit to form tbe basis for a settlement | for further negotiations. i Mr. George quoted tbe memorable | utterances of Abraham Lincoln with flno effect, and cited the attitiide of j that great patriot who stood so flrmly and grandly against compromise on i the great essentials of the conflict. We must never forget that there are three first dass powers along with Britaiu In this supreme struggle; and J that any concession from one would i be extremely dangerous at this time, I from Its aptitude of playing directly ! \ Into the hands of the enemy. ^ The allies are Joined by a solemn ^ compact respecting proposals and terms of peace, and It Is suspected that they regard this agreement as be- ing something more than a mere j "scrap of paper." I Naturally It Is not the so-caUed "hu- manity" of the war that appeals to ! them first, as it would to neutral na- tions. They must .stand together or go down to disaster. This they have agreed to do, so the epochal struggle will go oil. until militarism Is crushed and wiped from Uie face of the earth. SHORTAGE OF FEED. | Farmer!! Sell Off Stock Rathfr Than Carry Them Through Winter. Unless the present tendency of far- mers to sell off their breeding stock rather than carry them through the Winter is not checked there is likely to be a serious shortage of cattle and particularly hogs in the coming Spring and Summer. From aJl parts of the province reports are reaching the De- partment of Agi'iculture that the shortage and high cost of feed is caus- ing farmers to get rid of their stock. The situation has become so disturb- ing that special steps are being taken to counteract the prevailing tendency. As a result of negotiations between the department here and the Dominion Live Stock branch at Ottawa, a spec- ial lecturer on stock raising is to be attached to the "Better Farming" special, touring the province daring the next two months. The department is also enlisting the assistance of its district representa- tives in order to carry on an educa- tional campaign. It is felt that the farmers will serve their own interests best by keeping their stock even if carrying them over the Winter is costly. -» ATALK ON RHEUMATISM Blouses and Skirts Basque blouses, though they are be- ing favored more and more day by day, have not succeeded in ousting the blouse that i.s worn inside the skirt. The model with a frill of fine lace in front or of the soft material of the blouse still holds its own. Some very attractive new blouses are of tan or sand-colored Georgette decorated with shadow embroidery in tine wool. Motifs worked in old blue, old rose and tan erJiance the artistic beauty of these waists . Bright yellow and deep rose are among the newest colors that have been seen in separate blouses. Some have collars of the same material, while others are trimmed with a white collar. No matter wh:it rumors may he cir- culated to the contrary from time to time, the separate waist and .skirt are always with us.

Sloan's Liniment Telling How to Actually Cure This Painful Malady. This article is for the man or wo- man who suffers from rheumatism who wants to be cured, not merely relieved â€" but actually curtd. 'I he most the rheumatic sufferer can hope for in rubbing something on the ten- der, aching joint, is a little relief. No lotion or liniment ever did or can make a cure. The rheumatic poison is rooted in the bloi>d. Therefore rheumatism can only be cured when this poisonous acid is driven out of the blood. Any doctor will t.ell you this is true. If you want something that will go right to the root of the blood take Dr. Williams Pink Pills. They make new, rich blood which drives out the poisonous acid and cures rheumatism to stay cured. The truth of these statements has Wen proved in thousands of cases through- out Canada, and the following cure is a striking instance. Mrs. F. M. Simp- son, R.R. No. 1, Blenheim, Ont.. says: "For a long time I was confined to my bed, and actually crippled with rheu- matism. The trouble first located in my ankle â€" which was much swollen. I thought it might be a sprain, but the doctor said it was rheumutism and advised me to go to bed .so that the trouble would not be aggravated. I did as directed, but instead of get- ting better it spread flrst to my riKht knee, then to my left knee, and then to my arms. The limbs were much swollen, and if I moved them cnu.sed me considerable pain. I seemed to get weak in other respects and fell off in weight from 15(3 to 110 pouiul.s. I had no appetite and seemed to lose Interest in everything. One clay while reading a paper I came across the case of a rheumatic sufferer cured by using Dr. Williams Pink Pills. I decided to try them and sent for three boxes. By the time these were gone I had certainly begun to improve, and with help was able to get up. Con- tinuing the u.se of the pills I was first able to go about with the use of a \ crutch, which later I discarded for a ' cane, and then through the use of the \ pills I was able to throw aside the ' cane as well, and go about as bri.skly ^ as I had ever done. I feel that Dr. ' Williams Pink Pills have been a | blessing to me, and I strongly re- ; commend them to other similar suf- ferers." You can procure these pills through any dealer in medicine or get them by mail at ."iO cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. « I COMBING OUT ELIGIBLES. Unskilled Munition Workers Called to Colors. It was officially announced that the .â- Vdmiralty, the Ministry of .Munitions, and the Army Council have agreed to relea.se for military service, at an early date, all semi-rfkillcd and un- skilled men of military age in muni- tion factories who can be spared with- out^ prejudicially affecting the output of munitions, says London Mail. For the time being the military au- thorities propose to call to the colors such of these men up to 31 years of iige as may be lit for general service. To avoid dislocation they will be called up in consultation and agree- ment with rcpre.sentativcs of the Government Departments concerned. These proposals do not involve the calling up of skilled men, and in or- iliT further to secure the retention of skilled men on work of national importance the Army Council will is- sue trade curds through a number of trade unions to their mcmber.s who were registered as journeymen and apprenticed before August IB, 1915. Thi.s big comb-out follows upon the Order under the Defence of the Realm Act giving power to call on any exempted man to undergo a Medi- cal Board examination. It Is to be followed by a comb-out of Govern- ment Departments, beginning with the Board of Trade and the Foreign Office. The application of the combing-out order to all controlled factories will release tens of thousands of men for the army, it is said.

Great Leveller of Class Democracy Promoter. in the proclamation issued l)y tho German Government the other day, half appealing and half commanding the (jcrm.an women of every rank to enter tho public service as actual workers, there was one curious and sigtiifioant phrase, says tho New York Times. As tran.fluted, it char- aotorizcd as "idiotic class distinc- tions'' those- lines which, more rigid- ly in Germany than in any other European country, except perhaps in Austria, have divided t he population into little less than separate species. If these distinctions have come to seem "idiotic" to the rulers of Ger- \ many, then it would be impossible to exaggerate the influence toward democracy which the war has e.xert- ed, for certainly, before the war, the dividing line between class and class were held to be natural, immov- a>^le and comnic 'able â€" in short, necessary for the e>:i.stence of society as in Germany it ought to be.. There a man or woman was "born" or was not, and that ended the mat- ter for him or her, and it also de- cided the things he or she could and could not do. .Ml that is ended if class distinctions really we^ called idiotic in an officiiil proclamation of high i)rovciiienco.
