KNOWS NO LAWS OF GOD Whén poor Belgian peasant wo- men and children were brutally out- raged, flayed and shot by fiends in uniform, the civilized world stood aghast at the evidence of Prussian savagery, remarks the Providence, R.1., Journal, After denials for months that these ftories were true came the confes- sion that they were true--a confes- sion coupled with the pitiful explana- tion of Germany that some of these women and children had tried to kil or wound her soldiers. And the mangled bodies of hun- dreds of innocent' non-combatants le it the bottom of the Atlantic, victims of this same savagery, which recog- nizes no law of God or code of honor and knows only how to slay. THE BRYUE COMMITTEE, The report of the Bryce commit- tee to investigate alleged atrocities in Belgium is a staggering indict- ment of German war practice, and is likely In the opinion of the Roches- ter, N.Y., Post Express to be accepted by all dispassionate readers as es- tablishing conclusively that the in- vaders systematically attempted to terrorize the Belgians into submis- slon by frightful treatment of prison- ors and captured towns. We have no heart to summarize the harrowing details, nor is there need to do so, It suffices to say that no other event in history was ever more completely substantiated by a greater cloud of witnesses than the charge that German regiments acting under orders of their officers and German officers carrying out the plan and policy of their military sup- eriors waged a war of surpassing hor- ror on unarmed non-combatants, wo- men and children, in order as wot appear, to frighten the Belgian sol- dllers into laying down their arms. GIVING ADVICE. "It shows a lack of common sense for a Canadian newspaper to nag at the American Government or people at such a time as this," says the Hamilton Times. And what good €an it do? We might ask. We are getting the sympathy and moral sup- port of the great majority of the peo ple of the United States. We are getting it in an incréasing degree bacause of the horrible crime against civilization committed by Germany in the sinking of the Lusitania, but we have no more right to assume to advise the Government of the United States what course she should pur- sue than we have to advise them on some matter of internal poliey. It may be just a little foreign to the subject, but ft has been noticed that some of the Canadian papers who ad- vised the people of this country mot to have "any truck or trade with the Yankees" three years ago, are the loudest now In clamoring for atha he really is, and laughs at the idea of "superior man," who was created for woman to attract and hold, No I am not a suffragist, but I do think a co-educational college is an excel- lent place for a sentimental high school girl to go to recover her san- er feelings; neither am I a prude, 1 hope, but "a man'd a man for a' that," 1 think that at a co-educa- tional college a girl learns to appre- ciate the right side of a man, the serious side with the gay. It is hard for a girl really to know a man she has only 'met at dances, but let her meet him in the morning when her hair has refused to look right and she knows her hat is on crobked; let them strive together toward a common goal of "education" in its have an ideal companionship, a com- rade spirit similar to that of the "little boy and girl" age, only a ma- tured friendship, a reliable one and a purer, truer attitude toward this poor abused old world. EDITORIAL NOTES. Presidént Wilson in his note spoke the views of more than the United States. He gave utterance to the voice of humanity. If somebody could prove that the flies come from Germany, it would be easy to arrange "swatting" campaign in this country.' Walter L. Sullivan, New York, puts the question tersely in a letter to the press.when he says: "Ger- many--the Judas of civilizatiph?" * . Strawberries continue to appear luscious and taste synthetic. The shortcake want will not be really filled until the Wolfe Island berries reach the market. a The Seaforth Expositor chronicled last week the birth in Huron County of seventeen children, fifteen of whom were boys. Is nature already providing against the slaughter of men in Europe? A Hamilton firm has been fined fifty. dollars for omitting to place war stamps on their checks. This should be remembered by local busi- ness men. The law now requires a stamp on the check, and an omission of the stamp is an infraction of the law. A. C. Hardy, Brockville, offered $100,000 from the Fulford estate to equip a regiment "or other fighting unit" for service at the (front. Though two letters were sent to the Minister of Militia Mr. Hardy has, so far, not even received an acknow- ledgement. 1s this studied neglect or only tardiness ? Up to the first of the month the five great belligerent countries have made war loans totalling $9,613,400, 000. This is divided as follows: Great Britain, $2,625,000,000, France, $1,802,400,000, Russia, $1, 065,000,000, Germany, $3,491,000, 000, and Austria-Hungtry $730,000, 000.

Condi- tions as regards unemployment, it may be. noted, have improved consid- erably during the past few months There is scarcely a machinery firm in Canada, for instanee, which is not working up to capacity while manu- facturers of harness and saddlery, of army cloth, bedding, blankets .and the like, have had more than they can well handle.
