Ottawa, Dec. 16.--The placing of an embargo on hay for exportation from Canada is, it is understood, un- der consideration by the Govern- ment, Such action if taken, as seems probable, would conserve the Canad- ian hay crop for the use of the Al lies large contracts for the supply of hay for the British and Allied Gov- ermments have already been placed in Canada. The buying has been done by the Agricultural Depart- ment, under Hon. Martin Burrell. If such action as contemplated is tak- en it will mean that much larger quantities of Canadian hay wil go overseas to supply the Allied forces in this war. , It is udderstood that arrange- ments will be made if an embargo is declared, whereby producers will not suffer financial loss and will receive fair prices for their crop. If an em- bargo is declared its announcement will be of greatest import to the farmers of Eastern Canada, who ex- port very large quantities of hay to the United States. The hay crop this year in Canada totalled 10,853,- 000 tons, valued at $155,807,000. Of this 3,682,000 tons, valued at $58,597,000, were produced in Quebec, and 4,068,000 tons, valued at $57,196,000, in Ontario, Embargo Officially Announced.

E IFenning, rector of Newcastle and Orono Anglican Churches, has join- ed the 136th Durham Battalion, now being organized RALPH CONNOR'S OPINION, Of the Church Of England Given In A Sermon. Gordon (Ralph Con nor) pastor of one of the largest Presbyterian churches of Winnipeg, some time ago preached a series of sermons on 'The Creeds of Christ- endom. His first subject was 'The Treasures and Inheritance of the Anglican Church.' In the course of an eloquent address, as reported by the Winnipeg Free Press Mr. Gor- don stated that of all the churches the Church of England was easy the! oldest. He said the Church of Eng- land had existed from the beginning of the Christmas era, and is ojder than the state and empire, and for nearly 1,800 years has shown 2a steady growth He reiterated the historic fact that the Bishops of the Church held their office by the laying on of hands in an unbroken success- ion from the Apostles, who received their commission from Jes Christ The preacher remarked thatbit was a popular ideg that this Church is an outgrowth of the Church of Rome. | "This is not so," said Mr. Gor "The Church had been for a period' under the influence of Rome but had always heen composed of men who, fought against papal authority." He said all nonconformity sprang from the Church of England, while the finest hymns and most inspiring mu- sic In the world came from the mem-, bers of this communion. The grat. est scholarship was seon here; to] this Church, said the preacler, we owe the 'Bible as well az the Prayer Book which was a work worthy of being placed on a par with the' Bible, He spoke of the simple faith] of the members, and of the beauti- fu} places of worship, the beautiful] prayers, the beautiful vestments and| service and bymnal, remarking in| passing that the Anglicans laid i Rev, C. W a marvellous emphasis on prayer, and that the non-conformists may well sigh for the atmosphere of a Pray-| er Book when they hear their ex-| temporfpeous prayers jumbled and poorly phrased. In recapitulating! he emphasized the beauty and dig- nity of the service of the Anglican Church, stating that in the non- conforming churches much depeads on the ministers in the pulpit, but ia the Anglican Church the people take a large part, and all in all pre- sent the world with the truly beau- tiful Christ. ue steamer Majestic of the Nor- thern Navigation Company was burn- ed to the water's edge at Port Hur- on, 'and the Saronic badly damaged.

BRITISH NAVYISM Milftariam wagell Not Tike Says HH } arge great ar peace Though & a British '3 in not the § providg contention has been that the German nsincere, and that there to the world from the Britich In any event, he says it is not it is an accomplished fact lived with British century for Britain frongest of the world's time of Napol and even befor When has that been used to weaker na tiong? In normal times it creates no tyranny In time war it is prim arily a defensive apon He pursues his thems words Militarism tinental type affects directly and family in nation the shaping to its ends and character, the moral and social outlook of a people Marinism does not, German militarism means, in faet, the moulding of the lives of individual Germans in a certain way; submitting each German to a certain moral training and intellectual disei- pline. It touches his conscience. For instance, it teaches (not merely a certain class or profession, but the whole nation) that in certain circum stances the individual does not pos sess a conscience that the State has taken it over for purposes that tran scend any personal question, even of right or wrong. The profoundest human values are thus changed by submitting a whole nation to con scription, especially when it is done with German thoroughness Marin ism does not 'hus affect whole nation F'beye is also the fact, which he does not mention, that whereas in Germany every man [s forced to be come a soldier, in England no one fs forced to become a sailor. The Brit lsh Government does not 'Impose' its navyism, or, as Angell calls it warinism,"" even upon its own peo ple, much less upon the rest of the world, In England a young man can choose whether he becomes a painter or a sallor, whether he enters the law, the church, or the navy. In Germany he has no such choice. He can choose, perhaps, between the ar tillery and the infantry, but not be- tween the printing trade and the sol- diers. After showing that a political power based mainly upon a navy per- mits of much freer and looser nation al organization than does political power based mainly upon an army, be says: 'The point does not need laboring, therefore, that as between the moral quality of that type of pol- itical society which is the outcome of militarism on the one hand and mar- show no menace navy a menace I'ne id ha pavyism for a has had the wWOr navies ever since the eon rush NAvY of we these modern Con armed nation' heavily every necessitates whole of the the the the lif fe the | inism upon the other there are vast differences which justify the world in declining to put the British menace in the same class with the German one. Lord Salisbury's Jest. Everyone is sorry to hear that the Duke of Norfolk has to undergo a serious operation. People still re- member how he threw up his posi- tion as Postmaster-Geperal at the time of the Boer War in order that he might go out to the front He went to Downing Street to com municate his decision to Lord Salis bury in person. The Prime Minister had just left No. 10, but on the Duke explaining the object of his call the private secretary consented to go in pursuit of his chief. "'Golng to South Africa next week, is he?" ejaculated "I suppose Cross will be resigning next, and wanting to sail in a fortnight!" Lord Cross was the octogenarian favorite of Queen Victoria, and then, like the Duke of Norfolk, a member of Lord Salisbury's Cabinet. Link With Early Canada. Sir R. Borden's reférence to fact that a "grandson of Durham' was serving at the front meant more probably to Canadians than to Epg- lishmen in an age when few bother their heads with history. The Dur- ham, says the (Glasgow News, refer- red to was the first Earl, who was sent out by the Whig Government at a crisis in the fate of Canada to govern the country. That be meant well, and to a certain point did well is gener- ally admitted, but he embroiled him- self by an indiscretion, was badly treated by his friends, and come back an embittered man. le was son-in- law of Lord Grey and treated the Premier so outrageously in the Cab- inet that Grey broke out "I would rather work in a coal mine than be treated thus." the Cricketing Families. The cricketing genius of the four hrothers Grace recalls how curiously cricket seems to run in families. The Walkers of Southggte could boast seven brothers, all in the front rank of the players of their time, six of them piaying in one match for the Gentlemeén versus the Players. The Ceesars of Godalming alse could at one time put a complete team in the field, all first-class players. Perambulator Rear Lights. In Kent the authorities have adopted a regulation making it in- cumbent upon people to have rear lights on perambulators.
