The Saskatchewan Legislature will pass. the measure which puts the liquor trade of that province under Government control. The bars and shops will be closed, and in public, or in public resorts, there will be no more drinking. A man can buy a gallon of whiskey at a time and take it home, and he may invite his friends to enjoy it with him. But there cangot be a sale of liquor anywhere, except in a dis- pensary or store which has been es- tablished by the Government and manned by its officials. Of other liquors: than whiskey, packages of five gallons may be purchased, but for personal consumption there are a few who want to buy it in this quantity. Liquors may be manufactured, as heretofore, by private corporations, and, if made in Saskatchewan, may be sold outside of it to anyone who wants to buy. But in Saskatche- wan, it can only be delivered at the Government stores, and to Govern- ment employees, and every gallon must be accounted for. The tem- perance men have wot anticipated legislation of this kind. They have not been considered very much in the past by the Legislature, and. are not koking fof any favors now. They miay not like the Government's measure and would not approve of it_probably if they were consulted, but they an see the end of the liquor trade In the near future, One result will be attained im- mediately---the control of the trade. It cannot be organized to fight any party in any election hereafter. An- other result may be total prohibi- tion in the fall of 1916, when the people will vote upon a referendum, and, through it, decide what they really want. The average temper- ance man does not desire to see the Government in the Hquor trade. The average man, who is not a faddist on this or aby other subject, may not endorse the legislation. Both of them may have the assurance that. the Government will go out of the business if the people order or demand it, Meanwhile; the province is being prepared for a dry season of a most unusual character. fee: OUR BOYS IN BATTLE. Dr. Ross's last letter from the front, and written under a strain which no one away from the scene can even imagine, expresses the surprise with which the Canadians were attacked at Langemarcke. The exact point of contact is not en, A -- . | 2 things that never fail to reach their 0a crown, for which too much cannot be done. 0 the anxiety, and the losses which have been reported. The glimpse one gets of life on | the firing lne is illuminating. | These soldiers of ours are fighting the battle of the Empire. They are ing the best traditions of the Brit-| ish army. They are doing this] cheerfully, willingly and well, be-| cause they feel that this country expects it from them, and they are the happier in performing a difficult and dangerous duty when they real- ize that they are remembered at home, and through the many com- forts that have been sent to them. Individual contributions are appre-| one like Dr. Ross, is permitted to| distribute among the men who have done the right thing, at the right time, should be maintained in regu- lar succession while the war lasts. Every dollar put into the things that bless and stimulate and cannot be procured at the front, and the destination, is a dollar invested in the name of a cause, a country, and THE CRISIS IN ENGLAND. It requires a great war to demon- strate the weakness of the volun- tary system of recruiting. The call to the flag has been followed by a rallying of the forces without par- allel. Each demand of the minister of war has been responded to with amazing alacrity by hundreds of thousahds. The last appeal of Lord Kitchener for 300,000 men con- tained a remarkable stipulation to the effect that these should not be men who are wanted in the shops and factories for the production of munitions of war. This note of warning revives a harassing thought. It is that industrial in- terests may be hampered and hurt by skilled mechanics being sent to the front, in place of men who are not wanted for the manufacture of arms and ammunition, which the nation must have for aggressive warfare. British advices intimate that pub- lic opinion at home is changing. Political leaders have been in con- ferénce, and, ere long, if not at the present session of Parliament, legis- lation will be effected of a most drastic character. All healthy men between certain ages may be regis- tered with a view of conscription later on. Lord Haldane, speaking for the Liberals, says that conscrip- tion must come speedily, and e Marquis of Lansdowne, speaking the Conservatives, declares that Britain must do her utmost if she will win. Under the Coalition Gov- ernment, therefore, a united and mighty effort will be made in order that Britain in conjunction with the Allies may roll the Germans back. Everything depends upon the sup- ply of munitions. - This is the latest proclamation of Lloyd-George, the new minister of munitions, Point- Ing to the success of the Germans in Poland, he says they have ad- vanced because they have an um- limited supply of shells, and the lesson is obvious and far-reaching. There are two views respecting the duty of the hour. One is that 'the military department should he clothed with power to meet every contingency of the war, without pub- licity. The other is that the facts, all of them, should be made known in order that the people of Britain may realize just what the situation is and meet it. The London Mail, in its own defense, and protesting against the furious denunciation of the press and people, declares that no harm can come through a judi- cious publication of the truth. But the Mail's persistent attacks on the Minister of War and Government-- its desperate attempts to present the British side in its worst light, to re- present the ministers and their war lords as incompetents and blunder- ers--is not judicious advertising, A suppression of the Mail and of its contemporary, the London Times, ag not, therefore, be very surpris- | The time taken by the Allies in preparing for a great conflict has erecting barriers and earthworks which must be shelled away.

Getting on so well thus far, he humorously referred to the historic lady who at one time summarily disposed of a Bishop by throwing a stool at his head. In retaliation, here in Queen's, and at the General Assembly, the 'speaker said, he felt like raiding the Presby. terian Church and seizing such lead- | ers as the Moderator to fll episcopal | offices in his own fold. (Applause.) Such fratermal visits are the pro- mise of a better day, Men of the Kirk will speak of it on every inch of ground in this broad land, and quote the appreciative words of Bishop and Moderator to little mid- gets of sectarians who often. make the distant plains and valleys loath some with strife Dr, Macgilliviay assured his brother in high office that he was quite safe even with our Pres- byterian women, and asked him to accept a copy of the blue book for 1915, which contains 500 pages, be- ing the gleanings from every field of service for the past year, This was at the morning sederunt. But if the Bishop left the ministers in a bed of roses, the elders made some havoc of their complacency in the afternoon, It was about Sun- day schools, where ministers who are too busy preaching to spare any time to teaching, and teachers who re KINGSTON EVENTS 26 YEARS ACO Congregational Union is in session in the city.
