Some American officers would like to retire on pensions, not for ease and rest, but in order to accept places in the armament and mu- nition factories. Of course the American War and Naval Depart- ments object. At a time of war, and with Germany menacing the United States, every officer must stay on duty. By the way no man Who has ever held a commission from any Government should consider himself free to serve in any but a military capacity in a time of dan- ger. Every pensioner is practically a-reservist, and when called upon must answer. The fact that some American experts would like to pull out of the service at this juncture suggests that they are not as oy otic, or as grateful to the country that educated them, as they ought to be. -------- AWAY WITH APOLOGIES, There is a lot of tommy-rot pubs lished about Canada not being able to get orders for munitions because "it. is a debtor nation" and will be until it gets much further ahead with "the work of development," Finances are at the back of all great schemes, and the financial side of this question will be settled as fast as our captains of industry get together and plan as to how they shall help each other. J. P. Morgan and Company, of New York, are not expected to finance for Canadian manufacturers, and they cannot be expected look up Canadian business. Thomas Shaughnessy, on of the C. P. R. Company, says Canada's greatest corporation will finance the orders it receives; and its vast machine shops and army of men will henceforth, and as long as it is necessary, be devoted the production of shells. The question of whether the shell shall be finished is a minor point. What is wanted is the organization of the manufacturers of Canada so that they can direct their shops with the best results. The Canadian Manufacturers' Association repre- sents many millions of dollars; and it can, under the guidance of the to Sir behalf to man Lloyd-George will send to Can-| ada, one who is now on the way, de- velop the industrial power of the country to the utmost extent. ada need not look to any American Gnancier or middleman for 'inspira- tion at this time. ~ Her manufactur- ers must look to their own resources, their own leadership, their own me- chanical genius, to make the record that awaits them. WHO ARE AT FAULT? Toronto has gone through a most unusual experience this year. ~The scandals of its Fire Department, to Quote only one instance, led to the dismissal of its Chief, and for months the Board of Control bas been seeking a successor in vain. Once it got very near to a selection when it nominated an out-of-town man, and one of undoubted capacity. But the intergsts, big and little, and usually politically, that mixed. into and demoralized municipal business, prevailed. The bigger Toronto be- comes the more contrary is the spirit that dominates the local affairs un- til* the convie grows that the whole outfit of Council and Board of Control is seriously at fault and out of place. ? 'Montreal does not surprise anyone with its municipal pandemonium. Some years ago many members of the Council were adjudged guilty of 'grafing and driven out of public lite. Some of them did not stay out, but back after a w s0 | ple a sample of the spiri | mans since the beginning of this war. injunction, until the courts can look | into the matter. . { The Montreal Council, it is true,| can restrain the Board of Control | and prevent the execution- of the] deal, but it is menaced by a Board | of Control which'is usually divided, | despotic, and sometimes demented, | and has not the ideal methods of di-| recting the people's affairs. ATTACK ON MR. MORGAN. | The murderous assault upon Mr.| Morgan gives to the American peo- that would be rampant if it "dare. The Ger- man elg®ent in the United States shows tht it is obsessed of the ani- mus that dominates the average rep-| resentative of the Teutons. *God- | straffe England" reflects the feeling that has been instilled into the Ger- Those who came to America 'from | Germany many years ago, who left their Fatherland because they dis- beliefed in its military system, are, of course, not to be included in this catagory. They are anti-Germans to all intents and purposes. Residence in this country does not rid nor rob some men, however, of their racial vindictiveness." The Ger- mans in the larger American cities have been baring their teeth. They have not hesitated to denounce the Allies. Mr. Bryan, as an excéption, has. acceded to their blandishment. The President has not, and the later incidents go to prove that his atti- tude towards Germany has not been undeserved. Investigation will probably con- vince the American people that the would-be assassin of Mr. Morgah is simply the dupe or tool of an organ- ization which does. not hesitate to kill in order to accomplish its pus- poses, Mr. Morgan is the head of a great financial institution. Through | value of many millions of dollars | have been given. Failing to stop | the manufacture and exportation of | these munitions the Germans would | murder the chief financial agent, and | introduce a reign of terror. This | assumption will be followed up, and | in the next few days there may be revelations of the most sensational character. Canada has a need to watch the suspects and to put an end to their] movements before they get quite as| far as the lieutenant who was ar- rested in Montreal. The penetra- tion of the ranks, of our soldiery by the enemy is astonishing. What risks spies will run in order to serve the Kaiser! Nor will they, as a rule, confess. Most of them would rather be shot than betray their mas- ter, | EDITORIAL NOTES. How many German suspects are at large in Canada? Or how many of them are still in the ranks?

The garden party at the resi- dence or Lieut-Col and Mrs. H. R. Duff on. Saturday afternoon was a financial success, although unfortu- nately programme As a result of the rain, the finals could not be played in the croquel fournament. The treasurer, Miss Macdonell, re- ports that about $115 was taken in tor the Mowat Memorial Hospital. The Croquet £lub very generously co-operated with the Daughters. of the -Bmpire in making the garden party such a success. On Tuesday and Thursday 4 tournament was held, the finals being part of Satur- day afternoon's programme, There were also two tables of bridge. The ladies who were so enrgetic in making the event a success de- serve great oredit for their work, Mrs. Duff particularly deserving thanks far her generosity.

The Canadian Militia Department has authorized the organization of a third Universities Company for Overseas Service, similar to the First and Second Uniyersities Companies, which are joining the Princess Pa- tricia's Canadian Light Infantry. The company will be organized and train- ed at Montreal by Captain A. S. Eve, of the McGill Contingent C. 0. T.

The Third Company will be com- posed of graduates and undergradu- ates of universities (or their friends) and men of that type. H. Ward and D. D.
