Never before in the history of kingdoms has .an empire held together together under such a strain by the free volition of its own units. And this loyalty will doubtless give a concrete realization of the dream of many statesmen during the last half century ; an Imperial Parliament Parliament in London with all parts or the empire represented to legislate and administer on behalf of the whole. Great Britain then will be a democratized union of free States. If this is brought to pass as a recognition and reward of loyalty it will mark the most radical radical step in government that history has ever recorded. And it will be the greatest factor in the world reorganization reorganization that is certain to follow follow the war. Portland-Hailfax - Liverpool CABIN AND THIRD CLASS ONLY TWIN-SCREW S.S.

According to the New York Tribune Tribune the trouble with German diplomacy diplomacy is that for many years back it- has been neither intelligent "nor cautious. After Bismarck's dismissal dismissal it gradually lost that foresight foresight and breadth of view which made the great Chancellor's successor successor possible. Bismarck formed his policies with foreign opinion and the obvious interests of other nations in plain view. He did not worry about the effect of his diplomacy diplomacy on German sentiment so long as he was sure of its effect in the world outside. He felt his way carefully and played one outside interest against another before he struck. In that way he isolated Austria-Hungary in 1866 and France in 1870-71. His successors have followed another another course. They have given far less study to conditions and the drift- of sentiment ou-tside Germany and shaped their diplomacy so - as to make it appeal to German pride and consciousness of power. In that way they have helped to unify Germany. But at the same time they have united foreign opposition opposition and driven pow:ers like Great Britain, France and Russia to ignore ignore former diversities of interest and to unite for purposes of protection. protection. . Encountered Rough Weather. A lady and husband were crossing crossing the Atlantic for the first time. Their steamer encountered terribly rough weather, and they were both very unwell. As they lay in their berths watching the luggage rolling about on the floor of the cabin and listening to the bangs and thumps and the shouted orders on deck, they thought their last hour had come. Suddenly, from his wife's corner, came a feeble voice just audible audible above the noise. "John," she said, "John, do you think the people at home know where our life insurance policies are ?"

" Cultivate patience. You will need it when a self-made man begins to tell you the story of his life. By Chas. M. Biee, Denver, Colo. Constantinople--magic word that conjures visions of Turkish maidens maidens peeping Coyly through latticed windows of harems ; of the Seraglio with its-gardens, groves and fountains fountains ;. of .the "Garden, of Delight" Delight" ; its gorgeous parterres and pavilions ---Constantinople, before the -walls of which the guns of the allied fleets now boom from the south, and Russia's fleet from the north, seems doomed to utter destruction. destruction. The crescent must yield to the cross, and the minaret give place to the spire, unless - all signs fail. It is impossible to measure the stupidity of Turkey's advisers when they resolved to cast her fortunes with the dual alliance. " It would seem that an unseen force was urging the Mussulmen on to their own certain destruction. The days of the Turk in Europe seem to be numbered and the number is fast dwindling to a fraction. The city which is the capital of the Turkish Empire is situated at the extreme northerly end of the Sea of Marmora, with the Bosphorus Bosphorus Straits on the east- and the Golden Golden Horn, an inlet of the Bosphorus j of about six miles in length, on the north. It is, therefore, surrounded surrounded by water on all sides except except the west, and has a sea front of about eight miles in extent. The city is triangular in shape, its apex projecting into the Bosphorus, Bosphorus, and its base, a lofty double double waJl four miles in length, stretching across the promontory from the Sea of Marmora- to t-he Golden Horn. This wall, however, is now in a- dilapidated condition, and for purposes of defense it may be said to be wholly worthless. The streets of the Turkish capital capital are extremely narrow, dark and dirty--so crooked that hardly any two of them parallel for any distance. The houses are generally low and- infirmly built, their windows strictly closed witl^lattice work of caneu in the centflFof which, excluded excluded from pu blip view, sits the Turkish women, - . endeavoring to see what is passing in the street without themselves being seen from the outside. The city is supplied with water by public" fountains, which are quite numerous and often extremely beautiful. The harbor of the Golden Horn is deep, well sheltered, and capable capable of containing 1,200 ships of ordinary size. The city is rich in historic lore, and was named after - Constantine the Great, who rebuilt it in 328. Probably no city in the world has been subjected to such numerous numerous and celebrated- sieges, and surely no other city has undergone so many vicissitudes of fortune, but withal, it has been taken but twice--by the Crusaders in 1204 and by the Turks under Mahom- med II. in 1453, the latter an event which completed the extinction of the great Roman Empire in the East. Its inhabitants are chiefly Turks, with a "large sprinkling of Arabs, a few Greeks, Jews, Armenians, C i rcassia-n s and B ulgariams. It has a population of " about one million and a half, chiefly Ma- hominedans. The city is protected by a séries of forts on the land side, but its defenses against -attack from the sea and the Horn are very inadequate. inadequate. It has relied, -upon its remarkable remarkable location for protection from war fleets-of foreign nations. • The 'Bosphorus, a narrow channel eighteen miles long, connects the Marmora |8ea with the Black Sea on the Russian side, while the Dardanelles, also a narrow and very swift current, forty miles in length, connects the Marmora with the Mediterranean Sea. Both of "these passages are fortified on both banks with quite modern, forts, and fairly well equipped with modern modern German armaments. To force this passage by a hostile fleet will prove a severe task, but already the fleets of Great Britain and France have pounded their way to near the Marmora Sea, and when once in that sea, the resistance resistance will be mild and- weak and the city will be at the mercy of the allied forces. Great advantages would result to the allies by the capture of the city, as this would permit the Russian hordes to sweep into Austria from, two directions, directions, and relieve Servia." Its advantages advantages commercially, would -be even greater than in a military sense, and- the fall of the city will greatly hasten the end of the war. / CHAS. M. BICE. Denver, March 6, 1915.

Won't Shrink Woollens ioc Made in Oanada by Lever Brothers Limited, Toronto» Established over Forty-on^ "Vears THE STANDARD BANK As spring approaches, the question question of work for the unemployed becomes more and more acute. Those who remember the terrible happenings in Lancashire during the American Civil War, when close upon 200,000 men we<re known to be out of work in that country alone, will tremble with, apprehension. apprehension. At that time the p bilan - thr opical spirit of Britain arose nobly to the rescue, no less, a sum than $9,500,000 being publicly subscribed. subscribed. This fund was so well ad>- ministered that although the distress distress lasted for a period of nearly five years, $650,000 remained in the hands of the trustees, and was expended in the erection of a convalescent home in Lancashire. Things are different in Canada from what the were in England at that time. The country was not at war, and although prices were high and the suffering was widespread, people people had not been called upon for aid to the almost innumerable works of charity that they are now. While some of the money subscribed was used for direct relief, the bulk of it was invested in public works that commanded the greatest amount of individual labor. It is a fair estimate to presume that at this moment in Canada there are 100,000- unemployed. Mayor Martin of Montreal has placed the number of out-of-works in that city at 45,000. In Toronto there are known to be half as manÿ. In the big western cities especially Winnipeg and Vancouver, Vancouver, there are probably another twenty or twenty-five thousand. So that we are not long in arriving at the total suggested. I is not a question of statistics, however, so much as the need for instant, resolute resolute and sustained action. Work must be found. It is not a matter of "I cannot dig and to beg I am ashamed." Practically all are willing willing to work: The trouble is that they mainly belong to the constructive constructive trades. There are, of course, many clerks, operatives in factories, factories, and salesmen and women among them, but the hardest to be suited are those w1k> have been employed employed on buildings and railway works, which are now almost at a standstill. In the face of this state of affairs the land is crying for labor. One thing that can bei done is to separate separate the wheat from the chaf atic endeavor first of all to employ the wheat, giving preference as far as reasonable to tihe men who have others to support. For this purpose, purpose, and in fact for treatment of. the whole situation, committees should be formed ini every city anc town, and registration embodying suitability strictly kept. Then such public works as are in any way possible should be proceeded with. Whfen we arrive at the matter of farm labor we eome to the very crux of the situation. The large majority "of thé unemployed have never seen a~ farm except as they have been travelling past-. To another another section the work is uncongenial. uncongenial. Unhappily, it is frequently frequently shown • that even under stress, men and women will not do w'ork for which they feel completely unfitted. unfitted. But these cannot be left to starve. They must be employed, but how is .a matter for the committee committee to decide. As to the demand of the land, farmers must be appealed appealed to be as patient as they can, and to be as lenient and generous as possible to such laborers as they may obtain. As has been said over and over again, the times are ex-, ceptional, and 1 not only call upon us, but demand of all of us, that we shall practice self-denial and thus bear in some measure a share of the common burden.
