The counsel for the the Ministers is said to have imputed defence in prosecution politics te some of the proceedings. It. may be hard to avoid a feeling that the ex-Ministers are being pun- ished for their political 'misdeeds. | But it will be récalled that the Con- servative papers ang Conservative | leaders demanded their prosecution. | The unanimous finding of the Math- ers' Commission forced the criminal action, The men themselves could hardly expect to escape the toils. There has been nothing so far in the preliminary trial to warrant the as- | sumption that there has been per- section, and there is no reason to expect that there will be anything. It is the first time in history that public men have been criminally called to account for deliberately blinking at public robbery, and thé prosecution will do good, whatever the result might be. It will leave a lesson that cang never be forgotten. True, the question has yet to be set- tiled as to whether men can be pun- ishied for wrong doing while in the service of the King, and while acting as his advisors, and the decision of the courts--perhaps of the Plivy Council--on this point will be eager- ly awaited. The editor of the Canadian Cou- rier has earned the thanks of the press for writing and publishing his personal reminiscences of the late | Sir William Van Horne. The sketch | which Mr. Cooper pens of a day | spent with a great railway man, | among his precious pictures, and in communion with his artistic soul, is a brilliant piece of work which will not lose in value, THE ANGLO-AMERICAN LOAN. There are impediments. in the way of the Anglo-French loan. A num- ber of adverse influences are at work. A pro-German syndicate in the bank- ing world are notfavorable because, As one put it, the; syndicate were not anxious to put money into the production of munitiofs "which wilt kill"their relatives at home." This syndicate want & guarantee that the loan will not be used, or any part of it, for buying implements of war © The meat packers are at work ex. pressing their disapproval because the British Government in the preser- vation of the German blockade took into cudtody and appropriated sever. al'cargoes of meats and lards at a yalue of many millions. They are in an unfriendly mood for the pres- ent and do not want the loan to sue- ceed" Yet they realize . that the more commerce is helped by the Brit- ish Government--which only can help With its navy---the better for Ameri. ea.

OPINION } iin ten thousand places in the United | oe ete ttttttttttttsataed States and Canada, told that which | had heen long expected, namely, the victorious advance of the Allied forces. The announcement that this advance had been made along a { front of over one hundred and fifty | miles, and that the two Canadian di- | visions had been engaged in it, em- | braced a message of the greatest mo- { ment. { A German sympathizer, Edward | Lyall Fox, in his book "Behind the | Scenes in Warring Germany," has sketched the trenches which, report says, have been cut The enemy's line has been penetrated for a dis- | tance of 'a couple of miles. "On the { dunes," says Fox, 'you €an enter a | ditch that has been dug.across Ea- rope from the English Channel to {| Mulhausen.

That was before the campaign took on several new aspects,, It was be- | fore the Allies found themselves in {larger number and in possession of munitions in ample supply.

An incident in itself | which marks the significance of the | drive and of the German disasters. | According to Mr. Fox, the fate or the | failure of the Germans depended | upon these trenches, and with the | smashing of them the Germanic vis- { ion and valour fade away.

Once upon a time the three E chil dren's father told them it was time for them to get ready to go home as it was growing too cold to stay at the seashore any longer The chil- dren were sorry to go as they had had a pleasant summer and they were much worried how their dog Eric was to get home. Their fa. ther said he theught he could fix it and asked them to go to the store with him to get a box for Eric to travel in. : Edward asked his father how "he was going to fix the box so the dog would travel safely, but his father said that was very easy. They lined the box with soft clean hay, tacked a dish to the side to hold wa- ter and then nailed strips of board to the front, leaving" space enough to get Eric through. While they were working the dog came, looked at the box, sniffed and walked away, as much as to say he didn't think much of it. - At last it was all ready and Ed- BEPRRTEREG DBE VAUDEVILLE AT THE 'GRAND. f Splendid Bill.
