One does not expect to) find very much consideration for , Young men who have given themsel- ves up to an abandoned career. It Is only a step on their part to bar- ter away the life of an individual when there is a chance to make easy money. The employment of foiir of these young men to kill Ros- enthal was a desperate act. Becker knew all about it. Indirectly he was the cause of it. He represent- ed the men who were higher up and who were fattening upon the crim- inal acty of the undertow. It may not have been intended to summar- ily dispose of Rosenthal, to shoot him down as he appeared in front of the Metropole Hotel, but the gun- men, armed for. the occasion, had neither judgment nor compunetion of consclence and did their desper- ate work too suddenly and too well. There 1s a touch of sadness in the removal of Lieutenant Becker. - He wasn strong man and qualified for better service than in which he en- gaged, but his punishment is a less- on to all, that even great men can- not and must not prostitute their talents for ignoble purposes. DOUBTFUL POLITICAL PURISTS The Montreal Mail is very disap- pointing in {ts attitude towards the Manitoba Government. It has stood out for absolute honesty in public life and has been most distressed be- cause the Quebec Legislature has not : done more to purge itself of men who have been tainted by political corruption. But it is quite ready to apply the whitewash brush te the Manitoba representatives of its party. It refers to Sir James Alkens as one whom "the new situation in Manito- ban polities has created." The re- velations of recent times 'have brought forward an opportunity for "public service fitted to appeal to a man of his Pp, and he is to-day leading the Conservative party." One would suppose that Sir James was a disco¥&¥% that he had not been identified with the old party in Ma- nitoba, and had not been concerned in or identified with its failings. The fact is that he was a defender of the Roblin Government, saw nothing a- miss with it or its policy, must have known of the theft from the public buildings long before it was exposed, was one of those who urged Sir Rod- mond Roblin to meet the Lieutenant Governor in a discussion of the Hud- son charges, and was a faithiul ally of Mr. Rogers in his Dominion orga- nization. . Yes, the situation found the man, ind found him only outside of the legislature, acquainted with all that had taken place and willing and ready to condone it--until its repudiation became pressingly expe- dient, Then the Montreal Mall says "the new party 18 revitalited and cleans ed." In what way? Sharpe, the lieutenant of Sir James Aikens, was a Rogers' man and the operator of his machine if the Macdonald elec- tion. He had, under Rogers, charge of the equally notorious election at The Pas in July last. Has he been revitalized an * Of the of the last leg- i the Whip of the » who sat om the | er.

SIKHS ARE FLOWER OF INDIAN ARMY. Unhampered By Caste Prohibitions. " They Will Go Anywhere And Do Anything. C. H. Payne (late of the Bhopal State Service) gives a small volume of immediate interest in "A Short History "of the Sikhs." It begins with Baba Nanak, whose birth in 1469 represents the first date in Sikh history, and concludes with a chapter on "Anneation--and After." the name of "sikh," which "disciple," and to. him is due the most authoritative position of the 'Adi Granth Sahib," or Sacred Book means of every Sikh regiment, The great- est Sikh leader was, the miiitary despot, Ranjit Singh (born in 1780), who never wore a royal head-dress and never used a throne "My said he, 'is ,the only dis- tinction I require." In his talent for military organization Ranjit Singh ranks first among Indian lead- ers, and as Mr. Payne observes, 'hig conquest of the Punjab was an achievement of which Napoleon, him- self, with the same means at his dis- posal, might have been proud." There are now in the service of the Government 30,000 Sikh troops who constitute the flower of the In- dian Army. Unbampered by caste prohibitions, the Sikh soldier will go anywhere and do anything---which explains his joy at serving for us now in France. He is hardy, good-tem- pered, patient under privations, and obedient to discipline, while his courage is such that he never knows when he is beaten. Sir Lepel Grif- fin thinks that the Sikhs, infantry and light cavalry, are, when well and sufficiently led by English officers, equal to any troops in the world, and superior.to any with whom they are likely to come in contact."

Hence the letter was reposted to Berlin | marked "Unknown at this address." | Said the German post office; "Von Kluck is no longer popular, Hindenburg is the hero." So the let- | ter was redirected to him. By the time the letter should have reached him he was snowed up in the Car-| pathians. Von Hindenburg had been | cut off by the Russians, and dropped below .zero in the Kaiser's esteem. So the post office, seeking to curry favor with the Kaiser, redirected the letter to Count Zeppelin. It was, howover, intercepted by an employee in the Antwerp post office, who sent it back again to Paris. It arrived there the day the Lusi- tania was sunk, and the French post office returned to Berlin marked "Von Tirpits. Wanted badly. Try Potsdam." But a postmaster slipped the letter into the Kaiser's imperial packet, crossing out von Tirpits's name. The Kaiser highly indignant at being the fifth most poular man in Germany, sent it on to the Crown Prince, in the Stenay post office re- directed it to General Joffre. The Berlin post officc marked it "Hold until called for." Duty Of Women. The women of Germany glory in sending their sons and their hus- bands to fight for their country.
