But | the job Kitchener seems to have been on'has been not directing fight- ing, but merely providing and arm- ing fighters.--Ottawa Journal. Kitchener has filled his office com- pletely. He is a great organizer. The man who is directing a battle, if competent, as General French ap- pears to be, can be counted upon to use his forces to the very best advan- tage. General French and General Joffre have been closely co-operating. They have independent commands of the British and French armies, but they are moved by an understanding of what they shall do under certain circumstances and their success is as- sured. Behind them etaphorical- ly stand the Ministers of War who provide them with men and munis tions. Britain's Minister is constantly on duty, developing the plans that reach a head in progressive or defensive movements in the theatre of war, His work is not, apparent, and yet a colos- sal enterprise depends upon it. The meetings which he has occasionally with repgesentaives of the = Allies; with Ministers and Generals and munition manufacturers, are a neces- sary corollary of the perfect agree- ment which must exist between them. No man, regardless of how imper- ious he may be, is alone equal to the emergencies of this war, MORE ELECTION BLUFF, Sir Robert Borden has had a con: ference with Sir Wilfrid Laurier. What was said between them is con- fidential for the time being. But the matter is of such importance that ere long we shall know all about it, It has to do, apparently, with what may happen in the near fmture politically. The Government desires an inde- finite lease of power. , It wants the Opposition's consent to an extension of the parliamentary term to the end of the war, and for a least six months beyond the cessation of hostilities. This much one learns from the Gov- ernment press which has been dis- _ecussing the subject and trying out public opinion to a certain extent. The Ottawa Free Press ' hazards the statement that the Liberals will be under obligation fo accept the sit- uation or appear to be inconsistent. < The Liberal leaders will await, it is announced, the submission of the Government's desires in writing and will duly consider them as they have no doubt been gonsidered by the Gov- ernment and its supporters, The threat of an election, as an al- ternative for an Immediate sutrend- er, and on any terms the Government may dictate, will not seare the Liber- als. They have heard enough to warrant them in letting the Govern- ment act as it likes about an election at this particular time, The Liberal leaders will not force it, and the Gov- ernment will order it in any case, if it promises to suit their purposes. -------- FRAMING PUBLIC POLICY. President Wilson, in New York, and before the Manhattan Club, eame out boldly for national service. 'He does not say that he owes his Plans to any ideas he has derived from a study of military' service in Europe, but what he advocates is al- most , identical with the schemes of the Roberts' Paty in England, and appears to he a modification of the new French military system.

If they do not measure up to the requirements of the hour, the respongibility will be theirs, not | his. EDITORIAL NOTES. Dr. J. L.

He woke with a start and, sure enough, just outside his win- dow was a sound like a bumping right under the floor of his room. Charlie jumped out of bed and ran to wake his father and together they went to see what it was. "It is some- thing in the cold air box," said his father finally," and I guess we will Bave to wait until morning to see what it is." Early the next morning Charlie was awake and dgessed before any- one else and when his father came down they went out to see what they could find that had made the noise|/ in the night.
