New defences are being east up, and even Constanti- nople 'is being prepared for the siege that is sure to follow. One report with regard to the Turks is very significant. It is that the Gefmans admire their bravery, but they are "incapable of an ener- getic offensive owing to insufficient training and a consequent lack of discipline." When one reads this, and reflects,-he will understand why the Canadian troops have been de- tained so long in England. The men chafe because they are marking time, as it were, week after week, and month after' month, but as one of them recently wrote, "the daily routine of toil and drill is toughen- ing, and the discipline goes on, and with effects that are more and mere apparent." Yes, Kitchener, the. man of iron, knows what he is doing. His oceca- sional visits to the camps, and occa- sional inspections, looking the men over with careful eye, are for a pur- pose. He can tell when they are fitted for the fatigues of an offensive movement, which tries the metal of the very best troops. When he or- ders a move it cdn bé taken for granted that he has plans which will work out satisfactorily, and that the men are ejual to the emergencies of the hour. SONBEW LINES OF ACTIVITY. The war ig~creating new avénues of usefulness for those who cannot participate in it, who must remain at home and yet do something for the men -who go to the front and suffer disablement. Some time ago it was announced that the Federal Govern- ment was looking up places in the several military districts where re- tiring heroes 'could rest and recuper- ate. A wise provision very gener- ously and necessarily suggested. But what is needed is something } more than a place for rest and res- toration in health. Men are re- turning to Canada from the battle- fields who have been permanently crippled. They have undergone in- Juries which require' present surgical or medical treatment, and later, training for some new occupation by * which they may become largely self- supporting. Granted | that they may be given pensions, In any case these must be inadequate when it is remembered that the cost of living has been go- ing up and that it may go still high- ef as a consequence of the war. These retiring warriors will want.oc- cupation and any movement which means_thelr permanent welfare witl be greatly appreciated. - * One who has gone through the ex- perience, Ww dash been in the war and has uffered in tongequence of At, ae be he says that the ple should see that institutions are provided in whieh the disabled sol- - diers may be trained for new ways of thrift and usefulness. Fh This is a happy thought, originat- 3 ing in Toronto. the hub of this Pro- vince, and radiating from it in every. direction and inciting the citizens in behalf of & sacred cause, ? SIR EDWARD GREY SPEAKS. The 'masterful Sir 'Bdward Grey, the dean of the diplomats, has dis- posed of the fictions in which the German Chancellor has indulged in excusing the atrocities of the Ger- man army, and ip further deception] of -the German people. It is al- jeged that Belgium had bartered for {a sale of her neutrality te Britain in | 1906. The reference'is to a con- | ve rsation which has not been re- | ported to the British Foreign Office] | between Britisti and' Belgian repre- | sentatives, end as to what would be | justified in the event of an invasion _rof Belgivm by Germany. The rea! | situation was set forth in a 'paper of: 1914, when it was proposed that all the powers now concerned. in the war respect the neutradgy of Belgium. Only Germany refused, because, as the Chancellor afterwards admitted,;| it pleased Germany to Violate that | neutrality for the purposes of war. | The one thing that Bethmann- Hollwig does not discuss is his ad- | mitted bribe of Britain to comsentyin 11913 'to an arrangement which would have pledged Britain to remain | neutral while Germany was free to smash ang destroy every: convention ghie had ever niade, this point, there was the proposition | of a conference in' 1914, on the eve of war, at which to settle all the out- standing difficulties between Austria and Servia. To this all the Powers agreed excepting Germany, and the British Minister expeots a revelation some day that will startle the world the facts as to the relations Austria. ahd Germany with] to Servia have been made | when between regard known. Another Serious charge of the German Chancellor is that Britain is interested in the war for thé pur- pose of restraining Russia. The Pritish Minister cannot imagine any-{ thing so ridiculous, nor can anyone else who has knowledge of the facts and of the attitude of Sir Edward | Grey, and of the position he has oc¢- cupied all along dn this controversy. | Truly there is nothing so dangerous | in diplomacy as dealing with a wan] who has no regard ror tne trutn and who treats it so lightly as the Ge:r- man Chancellor has done. The British Minister finally deals with" the aim of Germany in the War. It is to secure the supremacy | which will make Germany free to do as she pleases, upon land or sea, | to crush or to mediate, to obgérve treaties or to destroy them, accor: ding to her whims. Germany | fights, says Bethmann-Holwig, tor} the subjugation of all that is great] and fair and true and honorable,] and at the expense of the subordin- | ate factors in the fight. Britain's] fight is in behalf of liberty, and hu- | manity$ the' right to live, for real freedom and safety. A POWERFUL INDICTMENT. The Mathers' Commission has| made its report upon the Manitoba Parliament Buildings scandal and it is signed by all the judges. One of | these judges is Sir Hugh Macdonald, | and he cannot be accused of partizan- ship or of a desire to politically des. troy the Conservative party. The pronouncement of the Commission- ers is ah émphatic one, and makes it clear that, the new Government, in pursuance of its pledges, must prose- cute the plunderers of the public, treasury. : : 3 The Commissioners declare that the contract was awarded to the Kellys after that. of Peter Lyall & Sons had heen opened and discussed. It was awarded to the Kellys with- olit security. The changes In the plans and specifications dated from the commencement of the work. La- ter it was decided to organize an el- ection or reptile fund by the contrac- tors charging for work they did not perform and turning the money over to the party agent. Dr. Montague, the Minister of Works, whose mem- ory was so defective during the .ex- amination that he could not remem- ber anything, objected to the estimat- es when they first came before him, but when Dr. Simpson, the party boss, appeared before him his objec- tion ceased, and it will be remem- bered that he signed anything afterwards. in the way of orders, and did not want to know anything about them. = Investigation 'and security lay with the officials only. 5 'The Commissioners say that the treasurer of the Conservative party dictated the amount which was to be| ddded to the contractors' account for election purposes, and the aniounts were paid over to the party treasur- | | | received them from the Government. The fact has been "established" that over $600,000 were: paid upon frau: dulent estimates between April dnd before and pending the provincial ol ection, | The total amount paid to the contractors up to Aug. 4th was $701,093,50, plus 15 per cent. which should have been held back and was not, making a total of $822,903, In' passing the Commissioners scarily the Ex-Ministers.

MARINE ACTS, Washington Believes That the Kais-| "er's Sea Policy Will be Discontin- | ued Pending Negotiations, Washington, Aug. 27.--Count Von Bernstorfl, thie German Ambas- sador, conferred with Secretary Lan- sing nearly an® hour yesterday and while both refused to discuss their meeting in any way, it was upder- stood the Ambassador reiterated that it. was not the intent of the Ger- man Government that any Americans should be lost on the Arabic. Another communication, supple- menting that which -the Ambassador transmitted to the State Department Tuesday, is expected from * Berlin and pending its receipt, Count Bern- storfl will remain_at the Embassy in Washington, { It is confidenty believed the néxt Fword from Germany will be an _an=t nounetement that pending further negotiations, submarine warfare on passenger ships will be discontinued and that submarine commanders al- ready have been instructed to sink no merchant vessels without warn-~ ing. It is understood that Germany at] the same time, will revive her pro- position for a modus vivendi for re- laxation of British restrictions on neutral commerce. German offic- lals it was explained, consider that the victories to the arms in the cam- paign against the Russians permit Germany to recede a step on the sea.
