They have been indirect. ly charged with partzanship, and have denied the impeach They have done more; they have challenged any one to produce the proof of their unfairness. The president of the uni- versity, Dr. Falconer, defenkds his pro- fessors, vefers to their high scholar ship and efficiency, and sees no sensu or justice in suggesting their retire. ment. He stands by them and the independence and thought and char acter which they "may exhibit inof fensively. There is a marked difference between the German 'professors, whoge defects lie in the fact that they are Ger manus, the personal representatives of belligerent power, and the German professor of Harvard Uhiversity, who has been so anti-British that for season his retirement seemed to necessary. It is apparent that the hostility to the Germen professors in' Canada is due to the bitter feeling which fol- lows the contemplation of Germany's hatred of Britain and Germany's de: injure the mother country. One feels that he cammot harbour a German under the circumstances lest he harbour an enemy; and Britain, in f ondon itself, aud therefore the heart of the empire, has suffered from of the a he sire to in the duplicity men she has trusted.

Tie author of Pan-Germanism, Prof. Roland G. Usher, of St. Louis, a German, has outlined, in articles for the press, (in America), the dream of the advanced German, and when Tit is interpreted by this modern Jos- epli one can see why the war odegr- red. A great confederation of European fita os had been' contemplated. This {world be bounded by the North Sea, the Persian Gulf, the Baltic and the | Methiterranean Seas. "Stretching dia- for many generatiofis form a bar to the advance of the Slav and insure the safety of Europe from the awak- ened China and India.' France would be confined within 'her natural boun- daries"; England would be robbed of | her present position by the -change in the commercial and political axis of the world. No longer would the , channel and the Mediterranean be significant, no longer would the sea be mistress of the land." The professor saw in events in the east 'the coming to pass of the von- ! federation he had sketched, and there remained only the subjection of Ser- | via to make this confederation com- 1 plete. He thinks that France and * Britain might have obtained, with | honour, from participation in the war, and Russia would not have dared to fight alone. The sword, he says, | was forced into the hands of "Ger- ! many but, while obviously anxious to compel Russia and France to take the first hostile steps "the Germans were deterniined that the war should begun without { meant when he said, "France wait but Germuny can't." The white, pink; vellow, grey, and other state papers may give, in dip: lomatic language, certain impressions with regard to the war, but it is evident that there are phases of it which may be understood but have not been put in print. Prof. Usher describes some of them. CANADA'S PENSION ACT. of the war in which there must As a result Canada partidipates be a Pension Aet, and parliament, at the next session, will prbbably being down a comprehensive meas ure. It must be carefully considered because its provisibhs will be either equal to all reasonable requirements, or it will be defective and, in con- sequence, some poor fellows or their dependants will be the sufferers. The Whig is reminded of some men who were disabled in the Boer war. They enlisted at a time when enlist- ing was not as popular as it is to- day. These men offered their ser vices willingly, perhaps eagerly, and certainly without reflecting upon what might happen to them or their families. They simply trusted the country, as they had. a right to de, and apparently without the results they had a right to expect. No names have been mentioned, but the Whig has bean informed that "a fow were disabled, and disabled badly, and they have not received any thing in the way of a pension from their | country." Assuming that this re port may be correct let us hope that the Ptunsion Act, when passed, will be retroactive so far as these men are concerned and that they will be duly pensioned. The day ¢an never come, when the pemsion system of Canada will be imposed upon as the pension systam of the United Stales has been. At the end of the war the United States government made am- ple provision for all who were de pendent upon it, the relief extending to all who were intimately related to the dead and disabled. Strange to say the pension expenditure grew annually until its proportions be came collosal, This was due to the ever-widening character of the legis- lation. Pension agents afl politi- cal parties profited by it. There is no fear of this ix Can ada.

Northern France, Nov. 21.--The Frince of Wales, now on Field Mar- shal Sir John French's staff at the front, had a busy day yesterday. His military duties kept him on the move from early morning until late in the afternoon, bringing into play his big motor-car, which has just been sent across from England. In his visits to various places he was accompanied by two other staff officers. There also was a long at- tendance at headquarters, and when he retired it was with the intima- tion that revelle would be sounded {at 5.30 the next morning. The prince {who now hears for the first time {in his life the soynd of heavy gun- {fire in actual warfare, is taking his turn of duty like any other staff offi- der, and it is his own wish that he shall 'not be relieved of any work which the ordinary routine may bring. He is winning the high praise of officers and men by his unassuming %eal. The soldiers are proud of hav- ing the prince.among them. Already he has not only come into personal touch wth men who have been hard | j&t work in the task of conveying the { wounded to the field hospitals and has made the aequaintance of the Indian troops. The prince is making a name as a pedestrian. "He's as fit a5' they make Thém, and thinks nothing of walk. ing 25 miles on a couple of sand- wiches and an apple," said an offi- ar. .
