In no event can Canada prosper too richly for our satisfaction. We of the United States must not only appreciate our neighbor's effective patriotism, but strive also to bring about ever more friendly relations, and, in banking and commerce, relations increasing- ly profitable to both sets 'of Ameri- feans. Neglect of Canadian mar: kets and Canadian sympathies forms one of the least creditable chapters in thé history of American protec- tionism, but the time for us-to ig- nore or to patronize Canada--if there ever was such a time----has now gone by. As The Economist, of Chicago, observes (after giving reasons): Canada has been the phenomenon of the Western Hemisphere in the past ten or fifteen years. . , . 1 no other part of the world has there been so much progress in recent Years, nowhere else so much profit dn the pursuit of ordinary occupa- tion or the investment of capital, Canada has made good. SUMMER CLOTHING FOR MEN Men are always supposed to be free from the durdenséme trammels of style, Yet those who work in stores and offices usually wear through the hot weather clothing that adds to the discomforts of the season. The creature who wears tight starched collars and heavy wool coats on a warm day can never say anything to women about subser- vience to absurb fashions. Farmers, méchanics, teamsters and other out-door workers do not submit to these tyrannical restrie- tions. They strip to their tasks, and perhaps suffer less at their vig- orous effort than the swathed and swaddled man in the swivel chair. ofa-tashioned people always used to have light linen or alpaca coats, in which they used to pass the warm weather in comfort. Mapy men of simple habits wear them still. But the fact that they ténd to get shape less condemns them with some of 'our tailor made men. A neat and trim appearance is a fine thing for a business men to cultivate, remarks the Ogdensburg, N.Y., News. But it does not pay to loek in the mirror very much with the thermometer at 90. ------------ COMPULSION. IS NECESSARY. Two remarkable papers lie before the editor. They deal with the in- dus'rial situation as it is affected by lot the war. A business man complains that there is neither order nor sys-|ecipl tem 'in connection with the reeruit- ing. The aim is to get young men, physical fit, and the véry best, as oxperts, and as the spirit moves them. This man's idea is that men with dependents "should not be "called to join the force" ing on in Germany fof many years and in connection with the most per- | fect war machine that the world has | ever seen, The war has revolutionized much that men have held dear in the na- tional life of Britain. The volun- | tary principle in the ideal principle; | but in the crisis of a great war it has failed. Little by little men are realizing that the war machine is! o| Something that exists and continues | only through compulsion. AMERICAN VIEW OF BRITAIN. The Chicago Daily News is one' of | the leading newspapers in the middle | west. It realizes in a sensible way | what Britain is doing for the liberty | ol the individual against the des-| potism of the state. It has compiled | the following data of the British ac-| complishments: "1. Holding the seas for the ships of her allies as well as for her owh | "2. Protecting the coasts of her alles as well as her own. "3. Struggling in co-operation | with the French to smash the Turks | and win the Balkans for the allied cause. "4. Rendering great aid to French and Belgian troops in resisting the terrible onslaughts of the Germans on the allled left wing in the west. "5 Making loans amd supplying munitions to nearly all her partoers inthe war. '6. Parsuing a financial policy in southeastern Europe likely to pro- mote the cause of the nationalities. "7. Putting into the field more than ten times as many men as she ever promised. "8, Guarding her own soil ' and people against an invasion, which, if it came--and it is believed to be far from impossible -- doubtless would be the most savage, the most unsparing ever known. With how many men? Well, with enough. To hear some people talk, one would suppose that upon Britain were laid the duty of .defending every ldnd but her own. "Britain's wealth and sea power and military power are the one sure safeguard against the triumph of Germany's unparalleled war ma- chine. Without Britain's help France and Russia certainly must have been crushed. Without Britain's whole-hearted participation in the war, who will say that Italy would have ventured to challenge the mighty and merciless Germanic coal- ition? With Britain out of the struggle, would there have been any to move? "And Britain--never forget it -- was not compelled to go to the aid of France. Come what might, the most that ever Britain promised France were six divisions--120,000 men. She was not in honor bound to send a single soldier more. She could 'have stayed out of the war; Germany had begged her to stay out of the war. Disgraced she might have been--as Britons think, must have been--if she had left Belgium and France and European liberty to their doom. ' "But she could have done this.

Two Toronto girls have taken Vows not to marry until they reach the ag: of twenty-five, and then only if they find a husband earning at least $2,000 a year. The modesty of their expectations in the matri- monial line is remarkable. Girls young enough to make a vow of that kind are usually looking for a royal prince to come slong and carry them off to the altar.

Davids' mother was an ar- dent suffragist. t Over the cage of the secretary bird is an inscription which reads: "The male secretary bird hatches the eggs and rears the young." David slowly spelled out the in- scription and turned inquiringly to his father: "Is the secretary bird's wife a suf- fragipt, tou, pa?" he asked.--From Judge. Calling Down a Judge. The Hon.

Ottawa Journal (Congervative.) Lord Lansdowne's statement that Great Britain has only from 440,000, to 460,000 men "in the European theatre of war" is a startlifig one. Allowing for 258,000 British casu- alties as recently officially stated, and for the Canadian contingent, the fact appears that so far the United Kingdom has sent less than 700,000 men to the war, Yet at the beginning of the war a year ago, Britain had 700,000 men armed and equipped in the British Isles -- namely, 250,000 regulars, 100,000 ex-regular reservists, and 350,000 Territorials. And she had 250,000 more British and Indian regulars in India. Apparently, then, Britain, after a year, has not been using in Europe a man more than she had ready or almost ready in Europe at the out. set, and a great deal less than her then full available force, iy t in the name of heaven is nie i, Seri ig ener's new arm Why is Russia being pounded and France' being slaughtered, and the' British periodically overwhelmed ' by am." bers while Britain does not produce at the front as many soldiers as the had ready and armed a year ago?
