Even its name has become a symbol for the over- throw of a domineering spirit. Stead- ily the months and days of the pres- ent conflict wteal on toward another Waterloo" as history-forming as the first.--Collfer's Weekly. Britain is preparing to observe the anniversary on Friday by fitting and elaborate ceremonies. How is it to be observed in Canada? A great sham fight at Barriefield would be a suggestive event. EE -- / WHAT ROOSEVELT SAID, Mr. Roosevelt has been 'suggested as Mr. Wilson's new Secretary of State, and as one possessing the spir- it and the snap which would pe more than an offset for the lofty language of Von Bethmann-Hollwig. The ex- President is a warrior, is in favor of standing up for a fight, and would not, Bryan-like, be disposed to ask for d modification of the President's notes. } A story is told on the American side, and originating in Duluth it is said, in respect to Roosevelt, It is to the effect that the war is the re- sult indirectly of his rash talk. He visited on his return from a tiger hunt in South Africa, and halted, to rest and exchange greetings with the Kaiser, at Berlin. Wilhelm showed? him over his immense military es- tablishments, and Roosevelt was im- pressed. "Wilhelm," said he, speak- ing confidentially, "you could, with this army, conquer the world." The Kaiser believed him, says the Duluth report, and we have the war. The surprise of the Kaiser must be great as he reads that Mr. Roose- velt would 1I'ke to see him thoroughly thrashed, and he finds favor because the President of the United States did not go after the Germans when they had abused the néutrality and independence of Belglum. Yes Mr. Roosevelt would like to take a turn out of Von Jagow, and he ought to have the chance, ALL FOR THE STATE. Lloyd-George, the brightest man in England, and surely its future Prem- ier, has had set before him a great task, It isto organize and mobilize labor so that it will be most produc- tive to the country and profitable to itself, Labor surely looked askance at him when he entered upon his new career, He carried in his hand that which was sharper and more ef- fective than a two-edged sword, namely the Defence of the Realm Act, which gave him power as the Minister of Munitions to enforce his' orders upon the working men. But, he explained, the Act was principally designed to enable him to direct that the work of the country should come | first, for, sald he, laughingly, "un- less. this be done there will be no _ country worth working for." The Act saved the . time for planning it be wasted in persuasion, | ar |) in bringing about iarmony of relations which lead eventually to the highest results, The highest note of the Minister i | has grown to be the idol of the peo- | ple, so act've useful, and triumphant | in the crisis 'hour, is clear, and 'his | is the clarion call to duty. | heroes are raised up at critical times [to act as saviours of their country. Lloyd-George is one of them. GENERAL HUGHES. | A certain Conservative newspaper | not a thousand miles from the Whig | Office appears to be anxious to draw { the Whig into a controversy concern- | Ing General Hughes. The Whig de- { elines to be drawn into any such con- troversy for two reasons. In the first: place, the Hughes. The Whig believes that the General has done his best, and although we have not always agreed with him, yet we have many times refrained from making an attack. The General's best friends must re- cognize that time and time again he has laid himself open to adverse crit- fcism. But in spite of the fact that he has on two occasions distinetly 0 | treated the Whig unfairly, yet on the grounds of public policy we have re- frained from an expression of our views. ~~ \» In the second place, we believe that the aforesaid newspaper would benefit. We firfily believe that a marked copy of its last night's issue bas already been sent to General Hughes. We also believe that. the next time a representative of that paper camps onthe Government's door step for additional patronage, among the documents in evidence will be the aforesaid editorial. General Hughes has many quali- ties that we admire. He has, how- ever, some qualities that are a seri- ous detriment to a man in public life. Among these is the character- istic of paying too much attention. to editorials such as the one referred to. - A PRINCE OF THE CHURCH, Archbishop Langevin, one of the most active representatives of eccles- fastical authority in Canada, 's dead. The church to which he belonged fas great reason to lament his less. He was possesses of all that constituted leadership among men, and was a conspicuous figure in Canada in his day and generation. There is less sald now than in former days about the Church and the State and the wisdom or neces- sity of keeping their interests separ- ate. The leaders in the Church and the leaders in the State are, perhaps, less inclined to meddle with each others rights and privileges, and the temper of the people is less disposed to encourage or permit of it. But in the early days, when Arch- bishop Langevin began his career, the interests of the Church and the State came very close together, if they did not occasionally intermix. Thus, his grace found himself ally- Tog with one party or another in the assertion of his personal and politi- cal views. Apart altogether from the influ- ences of the times, and their effect on the plans and purposes of the in- a forceful character, a man of large vision and tireless energy, and in the newer field of Manitoba, whose so- ciety when he touched it was in a formative condition, he was essential- ly a man of affairs. There was no branch of human ac- tivity which he did not penetrate and impress by his physical and intellect: ual power. He stood openly for certain things, and it is to his credit that whether one agreed with him or not, whether one approved of his con tention or disapproved, he was 8: nized as manly, outspoken and fm: placable. i The Archbishop will be best re- membered by his attitude on "the s¢hool question in Manitoba. He was not content with the status of the schools before the Greenway Gov- ernment accepted office; he was not neiled to the system which Sir 'ord Sifton inaugurated when he was Im the Manitoba Government; he may have been cal ier, but he was not any more satisfied, when the remedial legislation failed and a pressure in a certain direction ceased; he was in evidence still dur- ing the reign of the Roblin Govern- Public School Act was probably a concession to his power.

Canadian Courler, As has been pointed out time and again, the city of Toronto is now at the point where it is face to face with Ms legal debt limit. It has spent and spent till it is prevented by law from adding to its debt. Neverthe- less, the other day the City Council passed estimates amounting to $37,- 000,000, or more than twice as much as this year's estimates for the Pro. vinte of Ontario, 'Montreal is in a similar position. Within six years, Montreal has spent $1$7,000,000, of which over one hun- dred millions has been borrowed. (LiKe Toronto, Montreal is not nearly aying its way. In Buffalo, Cleve- land and other cities, 'the civic debt is about one-quarter or one-third of that of Toronto, and about one-sixth or one-fifth of Montreal's. These two leading Canadian cities are not only driving fast towards bankruptey, but théy are setting an example to other Canadian cities which is having serious conse- quénces. No city in Canada should have a debt of more than $50 per head of its population, If your eity has gone beyond that, then it is liv- ing extravagantly and a reckoning day must come. Montreal is face to face with a deficit of three million dollars this year. Toronto may avoid it, but the tax rate has been ralsed from nineteen to twenty-two mills. Unless there is a change soon, the bonds of these cities will not be saleable, Rebuilding After tho War. Canadian Courier, ?

P. J. Baker to be Married to Fellow- Worker, The announcement has" regbhed Englana, says the Cambridge, Eng, News, that P. J. Baker, one of the most famous of sportsmen and schol- ars, is shortly to be margied to a lady with whom he has been work- ing for some months at the front, Miss Irene Noel, cousin of the Hon. Neville Lytton, the great tennis play. er. Her father is at present in Greece, where he has a large estate. P. J. Baker is the popular 'com. manding officer of the Friends" Am-| bulance Unit, which has been doing | magnificent work at the front. Miss Noel is attached to the unit, and is said to be a most accomplished lady. | She is full of energy and business, | and has been out all the time, re. | gardless of 'shel] fire and sundry spills from motom-cars. That Mr, | Baker's future wife has already been | a great help to him is evident from | the following extract from a letter | from a member of the unit; | "It is entirely due to her and to | P. J. Baker, with the help of 'efficient { officers, that the unit hag been able | to accomplish such excellent work (as a voluntary unit, which is always difficult out here in getting clearing | stations, the armies occlpying every | nook and corner." | _ The unit, financed by the Quakers' riends' Society, besides clearing the wounded, undertakes various other duties, such as: Helping to cleanse towns by inoculation against typhoid, supply apparatus to make pure wa- ter, helping destitute civilians with food and clothing, hospitals for civil. ians, and two or three other kinds of hospitals, At Cambridge Mr. Baker made {a great name for himself, being presi. | dent of the University Athletic Club s (and the Union Debating Society at |the same time. He was equally fa- | mous as a scholar, taking a Seeond | Class in the Historical pos, and then securing a First Class in the Economics Tripos, besides winning {the Whewesll Univensity Scholarship | for International Law. Some little time before he went to the front he was appointed Vice-Principal of Rus- kin College, Oxford, and has since been elected into a Fellowship at his old Foundation, King's College, Cam- bridge. It was his Tripes work which prevented him from training thoroughly for the last Olympic games. ' The wedding will take place at Crabbet Park, Surrey, on June 12th, and wiH attract considerable atten- tion. Mr. Baker is the son of the mem- ber for East Finsbury.

Holding Municipal Elections, "The question of holding muniei- pal elections on New Year's day," says the Municipal World for June, "may now be considered by every Municipal Council, previous to the 15th day of November--the latest date on which a' by-law providing therefore can be passed in any year." Where it is decided to hold polling on New Year's day, the nom- ination must be held on the 23rd of December, If either day is Sunday, the following day is substituted.
