But the present efforts at relief are only postponing from day fo day thé préssure of starvation, and many must #ready have asked the duestion Wid. next? A people so farseeing and 'practical as the people of Canada must haye' asked that Question already-- so that no apolo- gy is required for submitting some considerations which may be found useful. : : 1.

When 'he was introduced to Lord Roberts, the wit bent down patron- izingly to his Lordship and remark- ed: "I have often heard of you, but" ~-shading his eyes with one hand as though the famous general could never seen you'. "I have often seen you," replied Lord Roberts, tartly, "but I have never heard of you." "Bobs" was worshipped by the children, who saw in him the "medal- led and plumed" soldier hero whom kiddies always adoge. Lord Roberts was extremely fon _¢hildren, too, and 'the trait in hig chardot: was admirably TustFdted Th Thdid ofl one occasion. He was visiting one of the native bazaars, when a pretty little child, the two-year-old daughter of the shopkeeper, ran into the shop. "Bobs" could not resist the tempta- flon to cateh the little one in his arms and pretend to carry her off. But the child's mother thought he was kidnapping her baby in earnest, and rushed upon him with the leap of un tigeress. She plucked the frightened child from him, and, abus- ing him soundly in her native ton- gue, drove the astonished hero of a hundred fights out of doors. "That day at last," said Lord Roberts, when he told the story, "I was defeated in India." | : . Unlike many - soldiers, Lord Rob- erts was singularly unsuperstitious. He was always willing to sit down thirteen at table, he prefefred trav- eling on a Friday; he was married in May, and once when setting out on a campaign he, deliberately broke a hand-mirror in {wo in order that it might take up less room in his kit. At the same time, he was known to have a perfect horror of eats, and would never have one near him. NO LEGISLATION FOR CN.R.

Tt represents the gravest kind of international wrong- doing, but it is really not quite so contemptible, it does not show so shortsighted and timid and above all such selfish Indiffer- ence to the cause of permanent and righteous peace, as has been shown by the United States (thanks to President Wilson and Secretary Br- yan) in refusing to fulfill its solemn obligations by taking whatever ac- tion was necessary in order to clear our skirts from the guilt of tame ac- quiescence in a wrong which we had solemnly undertaken to oppose.
