Grand Trunk Railway GOING EAST. GOING WEST No military triumphs that the Teutonic Teutonic Allies have gained in one year of war can compensate them for the loss of the command of the sea. These triumphs have been many, for they were prepared for the conflict, while the other Powers were not. If peace were signed to-morrow, leaving everything everything in statu quo, the territorial gains of Germany, at least>-would be very great indeed. But against. this fact must be set a consideration of untold untold consequence. The German fleet is as if it did not exist. Its submarines submarines have sunk merchant ships anc murdered non-combatants, but the military effect of their successes is nil. Its battleships remain in port The few that were footloose have been captured or sunk. The German flag has been driven from the ocean. A rich commerce has been destroyed. Moreover, German methods of warfare warfare have aroused bitter indignation and resentment all over the world. If every German merchantman were now released, it would take years to regain regain what has been lost. To keep Belgium and Poland and a part of France would not be adequate compensation compensation for the • ruin of German foreign trade.

Kent, Agent, Post Count von Reventlow may console himself by the reflection that by hiding hiding behind the defenses at Kiel the German fleet has kept the British fleet at bay. But as Mr. Balfour reminds reminds him, the British fleet has accomplished accomplished all that the circumstances permitted. It could not destroy the enemy, but it has made N him helpless. Therè is but one way for Germany to regain command of the sea, and that, is by a victorious battle. Submarine warfare cannot do it. Even if a larger proportion of the British and French mercantile marine had been sent to the bottom, even if the interference interference with commerce had been much more serious, no German mcr chantman would have been released, no interruption to the transport of troops would have been achieved. A fleet in existence is a possible menace, menace, .but it is not an actual menace While it remains in port. Austria, with a much smaller mercantile marine, marine, though' one that was growing rapidly, is in the same case as Germany. Germany. The Austrian flag has also been driven from the seas, and the operations of " Austrian warships in the Adriatic have been so limited that they are not a serious factor in the result.

Alsace-Lorraine was a poor substitute for the failure of Germany Germany to reduce France to the level of a second-rate Power, Italy has emerged emerged from the wreck of her military reputation reputation in Abyssinia with' one of the finest, armies in the world. No nation nation can live on itself, least of all a nation with limited boundaries and great industrial aspirations. It quite likely that Germany has now reached the full extent of her achieve ments on land, that hereafter she will wage a losing fight. But however this may be, her impotency at sea spells disaster.

Wre- ford, 83 Knighton Road, Plymouth, England, England, for occasional English papers. The Daily Express (London) just to hand contains contains a letter from Folkestone Camp where our townsman, Major A. Clare Williams is, from which we take these paragraphs about Canadians: The happiest and the fittest army that ever responded to an Empire's call is housed, in the camps scattered round Shorncliffe. Major-General Sam Hughes, Canadian Minister of Militia, made a two days' tour of the string of camps, and was struck by the-wonderful condition of the men whom he. saw at work and play. Certainly no Minister of Defence has ever visited a more contented army. AH ranks feel that they are but a step from the. battlefield on which they are eager to come to grips with the Hun. On a fine day they can see the outline of the French coast, and when work is over they try- to figure off how long it will take them to get across the strip of sea. The men are the pick of Canada's sons. Hundreds are wealthy young fellows, who do not care a rap in what capacity they serve so long as they can fight at the earliest opportunity.

A nice feature of the booklet is the pastoral farewell farewell of Rev. A. H. Going, B. A., and the pastoral greetings of Rev. S. J. Shorey, D.D., with portraits of both ministers. It is a very complete and satisfactory summary summary of that progressive church's financial financial operations.

How a captain of the British army in India left his regiment there and, under an assumed name, joined the British expeditionary force in France as a private, and as a private died bravely in battle, is the strange incident incident related in an official statement given out by the British Press Bureau. Bureau. The captain was H. S. Smart, of the 53rd Sikhs. On June 4th his removal from the service was chronicled in the Official Gazette, it being for his unexplained unexplained absence from India. The statement issued says: "Since then, it has been ascertained that his action was due to his strong desire to join the force in France. He came to England and enlisted as Thomas Thomas Hardy in the Royal West Surrey regimerit and, serving as a private, was killed in action May 17, at Festu- bert, where he displayed such gallantry gallantry that he would have beèn granted the medal or distinguished conduct had he survived." Because of these circumstances, Smart, though dead, has been restored to his captaincy. . --* DEATH OFFENCES IN ARMY. Chas. Horn, Hampton Plione 129 1* 6 Farmers ! Read This !

There are more than a dozen different different offences for which" a British soldier may be sentenced to death while on active service. The first on the list of death offences offences applies to a commanding officer officer and reads, "Shamefully delivering up a garrison when in command of troops, without due necessity--punishment, necessity--punishment, death." A soldier can be shot for throwing away his rifle in the presence of the enemy, for cowardice, qr for leaving his commanding officer in order to plunder. If he forces his way past a sentry on active service he may be sentenced to ejeath, or for assaulting any one bringing up provisions for the troops. Soldiers are expressly forbidden while on active, service to commit any offence against à resident of the country country in which he is fighting under pain of death, nor may, he break into any house in search of plunder, or discharge discharge his rifle intentionally to create a false alarm on the march. j A soldier while acting as sentry who is found sleeping at his post may be shot. ; Any man causing or joining a mutiny , is liable to be shot. Desertion Desertion or attempt at desertion while on active service is naturally a death j sentence. j B COAL COAL This is the best time to buy your Coal for next Winter.
