"I believe the Prusaiana will certoln- ly-keep for Germany what of Elsaaa and Lorraine la atill German, or can be expected to re-become aucb, and withal that the whole world7 caaaot will not (nor I). Alone of nationa Prussia seems still to understand something of the art of governing and of fighting enemies to eaid art, Ger- many, from of old, has been the peace* ablest, most pious, and In the end most valiant and tcrriblcst of nations. Ger- many ought to be President of Europe, and will again. It seems, be tried with that office for another Ave centuries or eel" Thus wrote Thomas Cablyle In 1870 to Fbouui:. the historian. Com- menting upon the prophecy of Caw vi.1: a contributor to the London Times takes issue with the complaisance of the world. Heaven and Mr. Cablylb tor falling to "forbid them to do It," aad says, "But -tor tato foolish act France had long ainco forgotten her ■niar aad the present war would have been impossible." This from a Briton staunch enough in his patriotism to be given space In the war-department- controlled press of the country should have some weight with those who hare fallen into the way of scouting the theory that the present war has any- thing In common at all With the Ger- man claim of the Revanche motive In the same Issue of the London Times In which the foregoing criticism was made was a bit of worldly wis- dom from Mr. H.^G. -Wells, who, ac- cording to the critic of American fiction as compared with that produced in Eng- land .far surpasses anyone who writes ia America. Mr. Wells has chosen for his subj<-■•• "The Reckoning for the War," a choice made without due re- spect to the old proverb concerning the unwisdom of "counting one's chickens before they are hatched." lie says: - 4* "What reparations have to be exact- ed for this stupendous crime against civilisation? First to Belgium, then wielded tea manner not anticipated by the originator of the act. Rather ah Interesting comment upon the Mann act appeared la the New York Sun, inspired, no doubt, by the unpleasant predicament la which sev- eral men of moderate prominence hare found thsinariras because of its appli- cation to their case. The Sun says: We should think that area the putative father of the Mann law would now be among the loudest to call tor Its revision. ^haa was there aver anything mora monstrous than the perversion of this statute. Intended tor the pro- tection of the weak and helpless of the female sex, lata aa instrument by which women of craft aad guile can procure the assistance of the United States government in the blackmailing of weak and foolish men?" Even though the "putative father of the Mean law" did not anticipate the manner of Its use, may it not still be possible that he believes the unhappy experiences of a sufficient number of "weak and foolish men" may have a restraining Influence upon others of the sort? May one not still believe the Mann act, although abused as It cer- tainly has been, Is still salutary in character? - Certainly the innocent man has nothing to fear from the use or tha abuse of the Mann act. And that is something in Re favor. .Gullmaat .Tours Anthem--"Sing O Heavens "There Were Shepherds"... Violin solo--"Roraanre".. .Wlenlawaka ■ Mr. Frank Bedtan.

SENATOR SHERMAN'S POLICY FOR DEFENSE. , So short a time has elapsed since the present congress assembled that there has been little opportunity or occasion for the legislators to pro- claim themselves in any way. How- ever, an unofficial poll of the mem- bers of the national legislature on the Question of our national defense has made We find in the list of those who stand in favor of knowing just what are our notional resources for defense, is Sen- ator Sherman, whom Illinois has sent egfiin -a triumphantly to the United Statca aeuate. It is the Chamberlain bill which Senator Sherman endorses, a bill nhich provides for the creation of a council composed of administrative and legislative ontcialt» which shall map out the seneral policy of na- tional defense. * >;t * 1 an scour.
