About this time the German Gov- ernment has framed its reply to Mr. Wilson, the President of the United States, and some persons are pre- suming to prophecy what that an- swer may be. They are in this re- spect, as "injudicious as were those who assumed that the United States would be timid about calling the Germans to account because it was not prepared to fight, The men who assumed that Mr. Wilson could not indite a powerful epistle, one covering all the points in the controversy, and presenting his views in a direct concise and 00 courageous way, did him a great in- $0 | neutrals, Attached is best printing oMcos in Ctsal . don TORONTO REPRESENTATIVE HE co 3 Shuzch st New ELECTRIC RADIALS, ,» An association was reformed in the West some months ago, in the name of certain municipalities, in pushing its campaign. It is not, --..NOWever, meeting with the success of the union of municipalities which formerly co-operated in the interest of cheap electric power. The same Influence is not at work. The same objects are not in view. The same results are not attainable. On general principles electric rail- Ways, connecting certain populous centres, in penetrating and opening up certain districts that are. rich in " agricultural, mineral and other re- tources, are approved. | And. roads, wisely projected, and reasonably sup- ported, financially, will find favour with most people. But who is to determine the mer- its. of each individual scheme? What body will be consulted and de- termine whether a radial is not com- peting with some other road and im- peralling the prosperity of both? What commission, if" any, will look into any scheme that is floated and pats upon its detalls before the gov- ernment is asked to bonus it, to the extent of $3,600 a mile, more or less? The Association of Municipalities, Interested In the radials, made bold to assert its preeminence during the last session of Parliament. Hon. Mr. Beck championed it. He alone had unlimited faith in its tuture. The Government declined to bonus the radials or subsidize them, and the at- tempt was then' made fo create pub- lic sentiment in their favour. Appeals have been made to beards of trade to endorse certain re- golutions and send them to the Lo- cal Government. It is to hoped they will be pigeon-holed since the time is not yet ripe for their considera- tion. The New York Herald has it)that Germany would be glad for a war with the United States. Why? It would cause the Wilson Government to stop the shipment of all munitions of war to the Allies and reserve them for American use. Any advantage in that ? GERMANS NOT TRUSTED. The relations between the English 7 spesking people and ile Germans were strained before the loss of the Lusitania. The p of this fine steamship, one of the best that plowed the Atlantic Ocean, and the loss of so many lives, including help- less women end children, produced a revulsion of feeling that has shown justice. The righit of the Germans to destroy the property and lives of on the high seas, was couched in lofty and emphatic lan- guage, and if there was a doubt about the phraseology in any pre- ceding part there was none in the concluding paragraph which read: "The Imperial German Govern- . | ment will not expect the Government of the United States to omit any word or any act necessary to the per- formance of its sacred duty of main- taining the rights of the United States and its citizens and of safe- guarding their free exercise and en- Joyment." The German Government cannot mistake or misunderstand that de- claration. In effect it means that there will be no palliation of any of- fences against the most powerful of all the neutral powers. The note intimates that "Germany must yield or the United States will stand pledged to make her yield." The answer of Germany, therefore, under these circumstances, is awaited with great anxiety. Germany confessed her regrets for the loss of life in the Lusitania case, |and her determination to pursue her destructive policy within the British war zone. That declaration must be withdrawn or modified. ---------- EDITORIAL NOTES. Now that his chum, or fellow-la- bourer, Roblin, is gone, with his Gov- ernment, Rogers is thredtened with the loss of his seat in Manitoba. This is the unkindest cut of all.

One day he met a friend, who asked him how the plan had worked Seth said: "Fine. Whenever I've felt like drinking I've made for a quick lunch counter. Sometimes i've been hard. For instance, the other night in the room next to mine at the hotel a fellow shot himself. It was awful. There was a shot and then the body thudded to the floor.

We must remem- ber, said Mr. Savary, that this refer. red only to judges and those ¢ with the enforcement of the law. "Vengeance is mine, I will repay," must not be forgotten. '"'Don't think for a moment that Moses sanctioned lynch-law, or ordered an injured man to strike back with equal force. I for one was rejoiced when Britain's Prime Minister stated that he was re- solved that England would keep her hands clean, no matter what the en- emy did. We must not fight the Devil with his own weapons, We must fight him with Christ's wea- pons, and not let the enemy drag us down to his methods, which we de- nounce." There is something hidden away in most men's hearts which makes him ashamed of smiting the offered left cheek, said the preacher. The safest 'way to travel in savage coun- tries is to go unarmed, There are times when yielding the cloak would make the robber more greedy and where resistance may be a duty for the sake of others or for society as a whole. It was no breaking of the law of Christ when Belgium was in- vaded, that for her sake England went to war with the evil-doer, and we can well give thanks to God that our cause is gpne which we can bring before Him without shame. Let us fight not with passion and blood- thirsty desire for vengeance, but hon. ourably for right and justice, and as those prepared when all is over to demand only what is just and right. The boy should be taught to control his temper and to proceed always with reason and judgment, keeping God's standard before us, as indi- THE COLUMN.
