NUMBERING THE PEOPLE, 80 'Britain is to have a numbering of her people, and for the purpose of knowing who they are, how old they are, and in what way they are occupied. There is to be such a registration as France and Ger- many had before the outbreak of the war. These countries had con- scription. They had an official sys- tem which had been perfected dur- ing many years of practice, and when war was declared every man slated" for service within the bounds of the Empire and the Republic found his place and reported for duty. Britain had such a system with regard to her horses. A depart- ment of the War Office knew how many animals it could call out for army service at any time, and the declaration of war had hardly been made when there was a mobllisa- tion of horses without a parallel. A similar mobilization of men would have put Britain on an equality with Austro-Germany, though. she would have begn unequal to the dlliance in one respect, viz, of munitions of war. Britain could not be expected to meet on 'an equality the power that had. been building up ts: huge military machine during a period of forty years, or, to be more precise, since the Franeo-German war. . A registration of 'the people will enable the Government 'to distin- guish the, foreigners, and especlally those Whose presence may at any time become a menace to.the Em- pire. John Bull is being cured of his trustfulness. It is a character istic of him that he is not suspicious of his fellows. They may take ad- Vantage of him; and when he real izes it and acts he punishes the of- fender in the proper way. But he Will put up with a great deal before he becomes resentful. Hence, the Imposition, the danger, the annoy- ance from which he has suffered. Somewhat late in the day the Brit- Ish Government is taking steps to protect the Empire from the male- volence which is the outward ex- Pression of the hateful Hun. iris. The men who chatter about peace at this Juneture should be muzaled. There'can be no peace while his 1m. perial Majesty, the German madman, is at large.

The drink traffic has been .a men- ace to the success of the British arms in this war,» "Lloyd-George discov. ered this long since and essayed to apply a ture. He failed in this. The working classes would not brook Interference with their liberties. He tried the doctrine which the Londén Mall says is so effectual, and which THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG, TUESDAY, JUNE 29, 1915. cumstances suggest. Above all, it can stop the treating; and when | some men cannot invite their fellows | to the bar and clink their glasses and | eroon their songs and exchange the {gossip of the hour, the liquor has lost its taste or flavour. | Yes, Lloyd-George is a canny and a cunning man. He could not get his heart's desire in a great sweep Ing and decisive measure, one that put tippling out of .the question by the stroke of a pen; but he has got | what will answer the same purpose ~=_ a complete check upon the con- sumption of liquor aud in places where it will do the most good. A VERY SERIOUS QUESTION, What is the country going to do with the unemployed? That is the question that is burdening our Gov- ernments. - There is land a-plen- ty, more of it than can be worked. In Germany the paternal government lays out a plan and the people do the rest. They ask no questions. They have great faith-in thetr Gov: ernment. They feel that they have no right to question its wisdom. That is the result of their traihing. The, German idea will not grow and Germany's application and efficiency can be copied, Premier' Scott, of Saskatchewan, has the most comprehensive scheme of using the unemployed, He be- lieves that Canada must sooner or later -- and the sooner the better -- have a great scheme by which all the Immigrants, all in the country and all who come to it who are agrieul- turally inclined, may be interested in the cultivation of the land. But the Governments must co-operate as they hive never done before. They must save their resources in immigra- tion expenses. They must st8dy the men who come to Canada and place them where they can do the most good. They must do more than point the way to farm life, or indi- cate the Province or part of the/Ppov- ince where a locatldp? &f #¢ nna. They must see these people comfort- ably settled and started fn home and nation building. Heneé théy must be assigned to land, given the seed and implements with which to work, and the instruction or inspiration 'which 'will start them off with some hope of winning out. The Hon. Mr. Scott is right. Can- ada has overdone its civic life and undertaken to build up the indus- tries they must have in order to give to the people employment, and it has borrowed capital for municipal and industrial enterprises to'such an ex- tent that the annual tax in interest alone is about $140,000,000. This burden is more than the people can carry reasonably. Too much atien- tion has been given to civic life and all that it implies, and not enough attention to farm life; and: the soil is the source of the greatest wealth. To it' the masses must look for profi- table occupation. When will the Governments get to- gether and recognize what the coun- try lacks in this crisis? The ques: tion of the hour is, What is Canada going to do with and for its peo- ple? One hundred and fifty thous- and of its best men have gone to the var. They must be supported. [Their places must be taken dn the flelds and in the shops. Eo he lions must be fed. be tilled. How, and by-whom?

Into these towns an enormous number of men have been drafted from the country to work in factories, which are humming day and night with activity to keep up the supply of all things necessary for the fighting line. "In general, the relations between capital and labor there have exper- ienced notable amelioration. Indeed, the impression one gain in travel- ling about Germany is one of abso- lute settled industrial peace, but know. this, has only. been secured | because all parties know that the first signs of dissatisfaction would be treated 'with the utmost rigor of the law.' "At some of the largest factories men are aften at work 15, 20 and 30 hours on a stretch, with only short intervals for rest.

"In factories where Governmént work is being done, wages are high, and even in the few cases where wages of certain unskilled workmen have fallen, the men are allowed to work practically until they drop to make up by more hours what they have lost by the lower rates. "There is keen competition to ob- tain work in the factories working for the state, and the men engaged in these know almost certainly that for some time at least they will not be sent to the front, which to _ Store Open Wed.

The en- emy is losing thousands of prisoners to the Russians every day. "Kit was the intention of Macken- sen and his colleagues when they had occupied Lemberg and both banks of the Dniester, to swing immense forces northeastward into Central Poland, where they would join the columns now active on the Narew river and at Prazasnysz in North Po- land; but the continued Russian vie- tories on both banks of the Dniester has kept the main armies four days in practical pause outside Lemberg. Any new plan will have to be a dractic reduction of the original scheme. It is impossible to disregard the Russian army while it masters the entire south bank of the Dnies- ter." ve NEWS AGENT FINED Convicted Of Selling Liquor At ville Station.
