Manaxer GUNNERS WITHOUT PRACTICE. -- The United States naty department has been making some sorry admissions One is that the supply of ammunition for big guns is limited. It equal to the smallest emergency of the nation. A second is that the battle- ships are not indulging in practice. Many of them have missed this prac- tice for at least two years. The who have inlisted in that time is not men have have not received any drill in shoot- ing. How are gunners made? What has distinguished the British men-of- war's men in the brushes they have had with the enemy? Their skill in shoot- ing. They can, with marvellous celer- ity, train their big gums on an ob- ject and hit is 'every time.

Canadian sol diers were mustering at Valeartier, the first contingent for the aid of the empire landed in London. Much as the. offer of Canada to send thous ands of men; horses and guns to the front thrilled the seat of empire, this quiet arrival of the first contingent struck the first practical note in the business of imperial co-operation. It landed as silently as Kitchener land cd his expeditionary force at Boulo gne, and it got to work even more quickly. The first his 'ecdntingent appeared in the British press to state that since the arrival of the first car £0 of the million bags of flour given by Canada to Great Britain, price of flour had stopped going up If an army marches on its stomach surely a nation at home in a time of news of the war depends on. its supply of food. !} The million bags of flour donated by] the government of Canada to Eng land as a gift of war meant more 1o| England than the gift of three mil ! lion bushels of wheat that it takes to make the flour. Why? Because a million bags of} flour represents the labor of 1,000 Canadians for 50 days at $2.00 a day. HM keeps a milling indust: Vy that cost $5,000,000 busy for 5H days. It keeps 1,000 Canadian homes from facing the problem of unemployment. It represents the most highly skilled labor and the best' organized enterprise in that particular industry, working on the | best raw material of that 'kind pro- duced in Canada. And When ths million-bags of flour contingent 'ar- rives at the docks of London, it means as much for the cause of Eng land "as the' gift of fighting men. A gift of three million bushels of' wheat would have been just as sim- ple and quite as easy. It 'would have beem much less patriotic. Now and then we naturally get weary of the man who Is always preaching patriotism without putting it into practice, but there has been brains enough in eur * patriotism in this case, to make a gift 10 the cause o. empire that at the same time puts honest labor and well-earned wages into the hands of .its people. We have discovered that patriotism like clarity begins at home, The man that can help himself le he helps somebody else is do- wise and otherwise. .
