Northrup, Manager AFTER THE DEFAULTERS. { The second correspondént &f the London Mail, writing from ¢ Petro-| grad, describes the session of the Duma, (meaning a Council of think- ers rather than speakers) , at which there was a bitter attack upon the Ordnance Department because of its defaults in the war. It was not supposed to be unequal to the éréat demands of thé hour. Not until the Russians had begun their great drive| into Poland and had actualy entered | Austria 'was it discovered 'that the| wunitions 'had run short. The fact was concealed for a time. | Gradually the- Russians fell back, in| order to keep the army intact, and | it is still retreating carefully and | strategically. The scene in the Duma when Gen. Soukhomlinoff was under fire was exciting in the ex-| treme. The members demanded al Minister of Munitions who would be responsible to the Duma. Amid all the charges of incompetence there was not a word from any speaker in efence of the parties accused. Ev- en after the résults of his lack Jot | foresight were known .it took a long| time to get Gen. Soukhomlineff out| of the War Office. He had a great reputation. He was supposed to have re-organized the army. Some one called him' the "Russian Kitchen er." "Now there was nond so. poor to do him reverence." Not a voice whs raised to excuse him. '"Bung- ler" was the least of the charges | some the duty he owes to the State. It involves more, the presence and ac- tivity of these eligible ones when the state calls them to the colours. Col. 'Hendrie punctuates a against 'himself when he refers universal training as 'the oily falr and + to the shoulders. his point to principle of service," fact that man rifle and his neighbor, equally avail- able, does not." Apparently His Honor approves the plan and system which Australia adopted upon the recommendation pf Lord Kitchener years ago. To be sure Aus- tralia's isolated position made it the more necessary that she should de upon herself for "one pend very largely defense from attack, and the success of her efforts has been very much to her credit. , There is a measure of compulsion in Australia, as the Whig under stands the facts. There is the train: ing of the boys and young men and the formation of companies, of bat- talions, and of brigades, in districts and divisions, under conditions which guarantee their efficiency. The Australian troops were the first In the field of action and they are at the front to-daygloing the hardest kind of service because -they are prepared for it. If the war teaches Canada it is that che troops ready for immediate action, with compulsory. training which will qualify her young men for active duty, without the exemptions and discriminations that are apparent to- day. anything to must have APPEALING FOR AID. Montreal, through its public men, demands that more of $150,000,000 which Parliament has voted for war purposes be expended. in giving work to the unemployed. It'is very prob- able that considerable: money is be- ing spent on munitions in Canada's commercial metropolis, and it is very probable also that still more can 'be laid out. to the advantage of the Al- lies and the working classes. Montreal suffers to an unusual ex- tent from the depression which set | in before the war and on account of the war itself.

There never was a more auspic- fous opening of the schools: after a summer vacation than this year. The rest from study and from service has been a long one, and it has been attended by a season of rain without a-parallel. The outings of the teachers and pupils were, there- fore, somewhat circumscribed, and 2s the weeks went by the desire for a change, and back to the schools, Erew upon them. Study, and work in the fidld of education, are'.pleasant enough un- der. present circumstances. The building accommodation is now aniple and complete, and there is really no reason why the very best progress should not be made. Ouf 'new schools are of the best, as they ought to be at their cost, which is higher per -room than the cost of the dew schools in Winnipeg with all their splendid equipment for heating 'and ventiating. : And teaching is again popular. There was a time, during the brief period 'when money was easily made in the realm of commerce and ad- venture, when the thoughts of the young men and women were turned away from the teaching profession. The spell has been broken, and again the Model and Normal schools are being crowded 'with teacher-candi- dates. The Normal schools, indeed, are not able to accommodate all > who desire instruction in them, and the opening of them is being delayed while" the Education Department deals with the emergency. . Teaching after all is a pleasant oc- Cupation, - The hours are short, the 's pémuneration is reasonably high, "and - the mental exhilaration is an offset for the physical fatigue which is' sometimes experienced. Best of cause they do not want it, and nei- ther does the country after the har- | vest which is now nearly over. The | outlook is, therefore, bad, and it will be worse before it is better. In their extremity it' is not of much 'use for the laboring classes to appeal to 'the Government, and | with the deniand that it do some- thing to meet the extraordinary con- | ditions, Men sometimes talk as if tt were possible for the Government to release or scatter a few millions ot dollars, and in that way give the masses the benefit. The idea | that by the occasional shaking of | { stand in the gardén of every politi- cal Allah its fruits may fall into the | hands of the people, is the greatest | illusion of the day. Governments | direct and develop trade by the wise exercise of the powers they pos- sess, bat" it is an exploded theory that they 'can make good, times by | the motion of a magical wand. Simi- | larly it is a mistake to infer that 'the | council can do wonderful things through the machinery at {ts dispo- | sal. Governments---federal, pro- vincial and municipal---can help in mitigating distress at - times, and can in this respect during the ¢om- ing winter. A revival may come sooner than some anticipate, A good deal de- pends upon the war and the termi- nation of it. Then, as the Cana- dian Journal "of Gommerce has pointed out, it will not be surpris- ing if the labor famine confronts the manufacturers both in Canada and the United States. 'Immigration into both countries has practically ceased, while emigration has been augment- . ed, as many of the laboring men have gone home to fight the battles | of their home lands. - In addition, heavy enlistments and the call by Great Britain for skilled mechanics has further depleted the ranks of laboring men in these two countries.
