The gr¥at coal strike in Wales which threatened the political future of the Minister of Munitions has been settled and largely through the personal efforts of this man. One can imagine his feelings when he realized the dangers of the situation. The upheaval in Wales was an up- heaval in that part of the Empire where Lloyds jeorge should have an influence, among his own people and countrymen, and it is quite believ- able that when, ds a result of his in- tervention the miners resumed their allotted task, his heart beat with 16y. To be sure the promise of even the nost representative minister must bé implemented by a performance which he will surely carry out. Those who delve in the bowels of the earth discharge a duty, which, though grimy and at this time 'ranks with the duty of a Cabinet Minister, must be treated as men, not as mere ma- ohines. If the miners have suffered any disadvantage, financial or other- wise, they must be given relief, The humblest citizen in the Empire realize that he counts f deal at this crisis. . The settlement of the Wales' strike, so_ominous and disturbing in its many aspects, is due to the most powerful yet unobtrusive personal- ity In the British Empire. Lloyd- George Is not claiming poy credit, but he will not be denied it. must or a great -- RECRUITING MORE ACTIVE, It all depends upon how a cause is presented whether or not it: be- Comes a great success, Recruiting in the eity is much better as a re- sult of the great meeting which was held in the Artillery Park, and it will become greater still as the fact is pressed home that Canada needs the fighting force of every available maa. Kitchener's call is for more men, and still more, and they will be forthcoming in time. Recruiting on the voluntary prin- ciple is always slow because each man must realize the importance of the issue®and must for himself de- cide his attitude towards it. He must feel that the nation has a claim upon his service, that it 'his liberty, the most previous of all na- tional jewels, is to be his, he.must do his share or bit in defense of it, Who that heard Mr. Northrup and Dr. Clark, as they pictured in glow- Ing language the difference between the people who are fie to serve and the people who are forced to serve, but felt that he lived in a favored Inad and that it could only be his to enjoy so long as it was with- out the despotism of a failing cause? This war is having a tremendous educational value. It is making all Canadians realize the heritage that belongs to them. It is consolidating them for the tasks of the hour. Al may not go to the front, because all cannot do so, but all can be in the war for some purpose. and all may feel the responsibility that rests upon them. The smaller number go out to meet the enemy and subju- Rate it.

Mr. Northrup, M.P., is a Canadian whom the Whig has followed since he graduated from Upper Canada College in the 70's, and began the study of law and political science. He has been the member for East Hastings for many years, and is to- day one of Canada's most experi- enced parliamentarians. He repre. sents the men of his day and genera- ton most worthily, and it is fitting that he should transmit to poster- ity some of the heritage that came to him in public life, the patriotic Instinet and fervol that come te us at the present time, .

The lo- cal historian, or the one now young and then venerable in his experl- ence, may look back and say, yes, it was in 1915, at the old Artillery Park. Practically the whole city was there. "Twas a call to the col- ors, The Empire was at war. It was not in danger--everyone said that--but it was passing through a serious time, and reeruiting lagged. Then came two men who spoke the words that changed the mood of the great concourse. They played upon the emotions of the people as men play upon the strings of theif eho. sen instruments, and the effect was marvelous. The people stood spell- bound for a while, Then . they surged as from some mighty im- pulse and gavé expression to their feelings in 'loud applause. The placidity was gone, The tumult was on, but it was a tumult born of enthusiasm for a sacred cause. And men were drawn towards it with a new devotion, Yes, that was the great occasion, and it pro. duced a great result. EDITORIAL NOTES, .

The Whig informed him of the carrying of 'the Prohibition measure. The doctor did not care, however, to express any opinion regarding the matter.

Among the stories told by Mr.Har- vey in his book "Irish Life and Hu- mor," there is one relating to Lord Wolseley after his return to England from service in India. Walseley, who was fond of chil- dren, was once introduced to a boy four years old. The child gazed at the general with an expression half incredulous, and then said: "Are you General Wolseley that fought in the battles?" "Yes, I was in a goad many bat- tles," said the field marshal, The youngster looked at him in wondering silence, and then said,' "Let's hear you holler!" Use 'of Corncobs.

UNUSUAL PRECAUTIONS New York Freight Piers Are All Closely Guarded, New York, July 22.--The discov- ery of bombs among the cargo of a number of ships that have left here for Europe during the past few months has resulted in unusual pre- cautions being taken with regard to the stowing of freight on steamships now in port.
