It is that his dis- best Job charge does not fairly or accurately| eet forth the facts of the case. As a result of his injuries he has been mustered out of active military ser- vice, but he does not like his dis- charge. "It merely says that I have been released on account of medical unfitness," he sald. 'I don'f think that is fair. It should have stated how the unfitness came about. Peo- ple seeing my papers would never know that I had been wounded and rendered incapable for further ser- vice on account of such wound." It sliould be only necessary for him to call attention to the fact in order to have the necessary correction ap- plied. The Cgpnadian soldier is said to be entitled to the best his ceuntry can afford, but there is season to be lieve that he does not always get it. A GOOD MAN LEAVES, The city loses an amiable and in- fluential clergyman in the removal of Rev. Mr. Mcintosh, of the Broek street Presbyterian Church. He came to Kingston modestly; he pur- sued his calling in a kindly and af- fectionate spirit; and, having the call of the wild, in the Invitation of a far western and growing city, leaves Kingston with the best thoughts and wishes of every one. The ideal con- ditions, surely, but that are contingent upon the life and labour of the ideal minister. ' The, successful leader in a church must be both .a preacher and pastor. He must be able to guide his people by a clear and force- ful discussion of all the subjects per- taining to the pulpit, and he must in- terpret hls own counsel and instruc- tion in his dealings with the people. Mr. Mcintosh has done all this, He was a good citizen and a good pastor, and his place in Cooke's Church will be hard to 6ll, -------------- TEUTONIC SMARTNESS, The Allies contemplate the pur- chase of the Rumanian corn crop, a prolife one, and of great service to the belligerents. France and Italy were of one mind with regard to it, but Britain and Russia have to be consulted, and sometimes the diplo- matic machinery moves slowly enough, According to the French Minister of War, before Britain and Russia had been heard from Ger many and Austria acted. They pur- chased the entire crop. Roumania didn't show the ememy any favour. She simply had A great corn harvest, and disposed of it to highest bidder. The circumstance is cited by the French Minister of War is an evi- dence that the Allies must extend thelr mutual relations in order to make them embrace every detail in the matter of f as well as muni- tions of war. Germans are no : biter than the Freuch or the Brit- ish, but they have a system of Gov: ernment bi ses ister, Lord Kitchener, has been cred-| ited with saying that this official, 'cannot go without his consent. "The policy of Prussia," writes Sar- | oli , "throughout history has been to honeycomb the public and 'financial services of, the country that she in- tends .to attack with faithful sons) of the Fatherland, and then to strike her hardest! It is very desirable that 'at a crisig like tlie present a de- | partment of the fmpoftance of the! War Office should be manned exclu-| sively by Britishers of exclusively | British descent." © This is not a mat-| ter of sentiment, but a matter of business, of the safety of the nation. | Imagine, of you can, British offi-| cers in the War Ofice at Berlin! | Fancy Germany's War Lords accept-| ing advice from 'the representatives of a belligerent power, and in poss- | ession of their secrets! And that whic¥1s regarded as impossible with Germany should be also regarded as impossible in Britain. = John Bul} cannot afford to put his trust in any German at this time, A YEAR OF WAR. The Lieutenant'-Governor's invita- tion to the people, that they assemble themselves together on the anniver- sary of the war, and consider it, has been only generally acted upon. It would have been better had there been in every centre a meeting with- out denominational distinctions. As the Allies are one in action so their representatives should be one in the contemplation of passing events. Bet- ter, of course, that there should be meetings of any kind ghan that there should not be any, and those which marked the passing of August. 4th were, in Kingston, of an impressive and helpful character. Anniversaries have their value, and that of the war brought home to the people many suggestive lessons. One had reason to look back after the experiences of a year and reflect upon them." There have been some things in connection with the gigan- tic struggle to remember and extol. There have been some things to re- gret and repent of. On the whole there have been reflections which be- stir the masses and give them fresh courage. Best of all, and most fruitful of satisfaction, is the con- sciousness that Britain is not en- gaged in a conquest for aggrandise- dent. She was forced into the con- flict in defence of liberty and hu- manity, and in defénce, too, of the ideals and principles which repre- sent national life at its best. "Perhaps the one thing which has been made clearest by the anmiver- sary is the certainty that the war is only beginning, that it has shown how thoroughly the enemy has pre- pared and entrenched itself, and how necessary it will be for the Allies to settle down to a most determined, and, if necessary, a long siege in or- der to succeed. The notes sounded by the statesmen of France, Russia and Britain are the notes of warning, of encouragement and good cheer. The Allies were caught at a disadvan- tage at the outstart of the great con- flict, but with faith in themselves and in God, they are accumulating power and force and must succeed. . -------- EDITORIAL NOTES.

Washington, Aug. 5.--Officials al- ready see a strong prospect of all the questions at issue between this coun- try and England being diverted to a court of arbitration. England and the United States are parties to one of the Bryan treaties and if England should point blank refuse to make any concessions to this Government following the sending of the new note, she will be able, in the event that President Wilson should threa- ten any sharp dction, such as an in- terruption of diplomatic relations, to demand that all of the questions in dispute be sent to arbitration, In this respect at least, officials here de- clare, England has the whip hand on the United States at the present time. y WISE AND - OTHERWISE her | is The homely girl's face chaperon: A near argument is one in which nobody gets angry.

As he passed the bibul- ous passenger, the passenger: said: "Conductor, will you kindly tell me how far it is from Kingston to Gan- anoque?" "Why, my friend," said the con- ductor, "I just told you it is eigh- teen miles from Gananoque to King- ston, and necessarily it is eighteen miles from Kingston to Gananoque."
