The other English nobleman gave the next toast, "All boots in the five, or one hundred pounds on the, table.' The whole of the boots were commit ted to the flames.

Tord Panmure thought much of his tenant after that. Heart of Quebec is Sound. Toronto News The straw vote of La Presse (re navy), showed that the number of Quebec people who desired to make a contribution was woefully small. But } there was a large majority, of all who answered the questions, in favor of a ('anadian navy--despite the fact that the original plans for a sea force have been widened sufficiently to provide for the purchase of the first-class cruj- | ser Niobe. Undoubtedly the only effective guide | to the sentiment of Quebec has been supplied by these two newspapers (La Patrie and La Presse). Mr. Monk and Mr. Bourassa have failed to interpret it correctly. Mr. Pope and others have made just as complete a failure La Presse especially did not say" what were re. gave and asked them. And there behind such action sentiment of the coun would be for an effec force to co-operate in time' of danger with the royal navy The government prosposals as they owt |stand are ineffective. But if they were amended by the addition of two In domitables, they would fairly meet the requirements of national pride and im- perial unity. wanted--it was intelligence The general try. naturally tive Canadian No Sign of Danger. Canadian Courier W. R. Brock, a prominent merchant and conservative ex-member of the House of Commons, recently ventured the assertion that the new trade ar- ratigement with Germany, whereby the surtax on German goods was removed by Mr. Fielding, is better than ten Dreadnoughts. He meant apparently that Canada has created an addstion- al reason why. Germany would not make war on Great Britain. The Tor- onto Telegram says that it will make no differerce.

No matter how highly Ger! values our trade, when she makes up her mind to sacrifice her British market, «72 would not consid- er her Canadian. However, there is no evidence that she is willing to sacrifice the British market even temporarily. There would neetl to be some overpow- ering reason for such action, and that reason is mot in sight. Germany's naval activities, lke those of Great Britain and the United States, are an insurance against war, a preparation only for possible contingencies which Germans, Britons and Americans hope will never oecur.
