As the emperor has fut it "the 'award has been thrust into his hand," and he wants his People to believe that they must help hin to defend the fatherland. Our governments cannot too quickly and siphatically teach the truth with regard to this matter, and the place to do the teaching is the school.

HE'S DOWN AND OUT. Bourassa has shot his last holt. He missed the chance of his life when on his return from France, he failed to encourage those who desired to join the Allies and battle for the sutente. Prior to this' he had man- wed 'to play 'a perplexing and per- fidious part. He was forever ox- tolling Britain and making it appear that he was an admirer of the free dom her condtitution gave to her subjects. He had managed, in an election, to so mystify the people that they did pot know where he stood. A master of French and Eng- High, he succeeded, before French and English audiences, in making address- 8 in which he used vague yet elo. quent language, and to many who "rd influenced by the mere jingle of words he posed as a wonder. The War gave hini the opportunity which came to all Canadians to sink petty differences, politically and nationally, and exert all the influence he had on behialf of the Allies. Instead of that he is accused of saying that "British were coquetting with Germany up to almost the last minute before the war with the jdéa of throwing France Vérboard," The French government Sou be the best judge of the facts and its premier and minister of war, Rand even the president, has expressed : x earnest appreciation of Bri- 3 in Ottawa, where the French are so strong, a lecture engagement had to be cancelled. He was plainly ol of i : » igs 111 x f i Ditactor quirgd for his own use. This power he will sell to the city for three-quar- ters of a cent a kflo-watt' at the lim- its of the city. It is suggested that the city build a line from the tanner ied to the depot, and carry the cur- rent [rom the limits of the city: to the power house, and there, by necessary machinery, make it available for eivic uses. The lines would cost over $2,000. The machinery for adopting the power to the lighting system would cost perhaps $6,000 or $7,000. There ave many features of the pro- Rored agreement which merit close at- tention, and dhe engineers of the Hy- dro Electric Commission are under- stood to have given the power de- partment the benefit of their advice. Some of the points on which the city and Mr. Campbell differ may be easily reconciled. All of them may eventu- ally be satisfactorily disposed of. The great outstanding issue is, Will is pay the city to take this hydro power for a year or two? There are new caleu- lations under way, and new opiniong from the Hydro-Electrie Commission, and they will receive due attention. Meanwhile Manager Folger has an- alyzed the agreement and contrasted the cost of producing power under present conditions, and under the terms. of the proposal. According to one plan, which in- volves the carrying of the street rail- way and peak loads by steam, and the balance by hydro power, there is & prospective saving in fuel of $3, 097. "According to a second plan, which suggests the carrying of the peak loads only by steam and the balance by hydro power, the saving, in fuel only, will be $4,929.10. According to a plan of distributing the power, so that the hydro would all the work, except in the even- , from six to eleven o'clock, the saving would be even larger. The subject an important one, und the Whig will return to it. It is for the Power Commission to decide, as soon as it can, whether the city could make anything by an agreement for say two years, and if so how much ? The manager has estimated the saving in fuel only, for a year. What would be the saving in other re- spects, in labour, in oils, in wear and tear of machinery, in capital ao count, in all the incidentals of the power department ? There would not be a marked balance to the good on a one-year contract. On two-year conteact there should be considerably is a larger balance. EDITORIAL NOTES.

Toronto Star. > il we caunot agree as to what the two political parties did in regard to the navy, what the might, could, would, and ought to have done, per- haps we can come to some agreement as to the future. Windermere, a well-known Eng- lish correspondent for Canadian pa- pers, who was once strong for cen- tralization, mow says that there ought to be a Pacific fleet, which Canada, Australia, and New Zealard coulu maintain. That looks like a good idea. Winston Churchill once said that the central navy would look after the North Sea and that of the other British commonwealths would attend to distant seas there, would be a fair division of labor. The Australian navy has done well sinking the mischievous Emden and picking up a German colony or two. A very strong fleet could be main- tained by Canada, Australia, and New Zealand in conjunction, Rich- ard Jebb says in the London Morn- ing Post: "By no Englishman can the part played by the Australian navy be more heartily apprecidted than by those who for years have tried to up- 10ld the Dominions in -the policy of 'reating navies of their own, with which the Australians have so splen- didly persevered against persistent official and unofficial attempts to sub- stitute the system of contribution to i centralized navy." The question is dealt with in a aon-partisan way in the current is- sue of Canadian Finance. It dew clares that the present position is 1nsatisfactory for Canada. It makes no éttempt to allot the blame to one party or the other, but advises the napping out of a plan for the future. Samay Martyrs Of The Germans. F. Earl, American Artist "1 have been through a lange part of Germany and I must say that the way in which every man, woman and child have thrown themselves into this war is a lesson to the nations fighting for them. Talk about all the men being mobilized. I tell vou, the women are mobilized, in a sense, and so are the children. The towns and cities are full of wounded. but there is no thought of giving up be- eruse of that, A woman hears that her husband is killed in battle. Ordi- narily, this would give her great erief, but she-gimply says, "it {s for the fatherland," and she makes no nublic ado about it. They are de- termined to win at any cost, and no one thinks of sparing himself or herself." It seemed a great change when I went to England, and found posters everywhere advertising for men. They do net do that in Ger- many, though of course compulsory service does away with the necessity of it, but there is no effort to avoid it, nor do any of the women try to prevent their men going, no mat- ter what the cost to themselves.

Copenhagen, Nov. 21.--The Em- press of Russia, in an interview with a special correspondent of the Ber linske Tidende, expressed her confi: dence in the ultimate victory of the Russian arms. She said: "Have you noticed howthewarhas welded the people into unbreakable ueity? long. as the war lasts, il be no political parties in the lands over which the czar rules, The labor party is going hand in hand with the other parties.

Philadelphia, Nov. 21---More than 250,000 members of the Presbyter- {an church in the United States have been placed on the "suspended roll' in the last five years, according to the report of the Rev. William Ful- ton to the general assembly commit- lee on educational policy in session in this eity. = He gives as the causes "the grow- ing love of pleasure; disregard for the Lord's day and the work of God, the increasing craze for amusements and the influence of worldly com- pany --in short, the modern view of life which is preached by many sec- ular organizations." Presbyterian records show that in 1910 there were 48,956 on the "sus- pended roll"; in 1911 the total was 54,143; 1912, 51,266; 1913, 50,927; 1914, 50,484, "They slipped back into the world, fell away, were reltgated to the ec- clesiastical scrap heap," said Dr. Fulton. : | + WHOM HAD KING * DAVID IN MIND ? a -- (Psalm iv. 20-23.)
