St. Thomas, Jan, 27.--""We "are facing new conditions Jin recruiting and we must meet these by methods Suitable te the conditions," was the central theme of Mr. Rowell's pafri- otic speech here last evening Mr. Rowell pointed out that dur. ing the first year of the war we were suffering from a serious trade de- pression - and there was a large amount of unemployment with many industries working only part of the time, Recruiting then was easy without disturbance either to the in-! Nlastrial or agricultural interests of the country. But now, owing to the phenomenal crops and the large mu- nition orders conditions have radic- ally chafiged and there is no unem ployment In the first year of the war, how | ever, 'as Mr. Rowell pointed out, Can- ada enlisted for overseas' service shout 125,000 men. In this ond year the Government has asked for a total of 500,000 or 375,000 more than in the first year, which means three men to every one man enlisted during the first vear of the war, "We could have recruited 300,- 000 men at least," said Mr. Rowell, "during the first year without inter- fering with the industries of the country and as trade revived indus- try would have gradually adjusted it- self to the new conditions While we are too late now to take advan- tage of that oppartunity vet we must provide the men the Government calls for at the earliest practicable date. We must also maintain and increase the production of munitions and equipment, maintain our agri- cultural production and ensure rea- sonable efficiency of our industrial and fi al organizations.

He Thade a local reference to the Connty of Elgin, as being named af- ter Lotd Elgin, "under whose wise and stategmanlike administration re- sponsible government was accorded the people of Canada."

"Germany in this war suffers from! the lack of force of character of her | women," So writes a neutral ob-| server, who has recently returned from Germany, in an article in the% London Times. "It is not a ques- tion of education, because German | women are admittedly as highly edu-{ cated (as far as book education is! concerned) as any women -in the world; nor do I believe it to be a matter of environment or custom. | German girls who return from li ing in the United States and Eng- land, and who have therefore tasted the freedom and independence of Anglo-Saxon on life, are glad to be | back in Germany, though their sta- tus is not for removed 'from domes- tic servitude.

Per- | haps freedom is slowly, but very | slowly, coming to the German wo-| man. But the part she is bearing in the war is not that of English wom en. I have been in both countries | during this conflict, and I can sée! what is going on." , The German women entered upon the war with a ferocity as great as that of the men. They are not now standing the strain as well as the men. The ridiculous fuss that is be- ing made about' butter is typical. Butterbrod, that is to say, not bread and butter, but butter and btead, has doubtless done much to develop that tendency to embonpoint which is rife in German femininity. The [ttle riotings that have taken place in so many places and the big Berlin | riots have been largely the work of | women, and I doubt whether they would have occurred but for the curtailment of the fats, which are so essential to German cookery. The great over-eating, which has been noticeable a feature of Ger- | nian life during the past twenty-five years, has been as marked among women as among men. The average German woman begins with coffee and milk between seven and aight in morning and then about tem there fs & meat breakfast, at one o'clock | a really heavy ymeal, as a rule about twice as extensive as an Eng-| lish lunch, with beer or 'wine or both. This has been followed: of late years by a tea, accompanied by cakes, cho- colates, and marzipan. © At 8 pm. is served a supper almost as heavy as the midday dinner and consisting of cold ham, Niutton, beef or veal, with wine, often sweet champagne, and then beer served in the drawing room. If the war reduces life to the simplicity of a quarter of a century ago, it will have had one good effect. Meanwhile it is not a pleasant reffec- tion for Germans that the chief part of the grumbling in connection with the war should be by women and about food. ™ $ Let it not be thought that the Ger- man women are not helping greatly during the war. Their Red Cross work is admirable, Their nursing is not, of course, as good as that of the English, but it is unsparingly offered. Women are doing much heavier work than English women.

No Blame to Managers--Sces Suffic- ient Ground for People Having Right to Demang Moré Power of Contivl, : Calgary, Alta, Jan. 27.--An at- tack on the banks and financial in- stitutions of the Dominion was made by Premier A. L. Sifton in~the ad- dress to the Canadian Club on "Les- sons from the War," in" which he ex- prissed the view that the time was ripe for the initiation of amend- ments to the existing legislation gov- erning these instftutions by ~ which® | some more definite way should be secured for the people to the end that the legitimate business of the country should receive its due con- sideration, The Premier made the point that he did not a take issue with the man- | agers of these insitutions as to their mode of securing thorough safety of the money entrusted, to their care, but he did not say that the people had a great deal more right to eriti- cize the way in which their deposits were used by the banks that - they were able to do at the present time. ' One of the first lessons that peo- ple learned from the war was the fact that the finances of the country were controlled by a few men. De- Spite the fact that they. had taken additional deposits of $106,000,000 during the past year, they had, nev- » curtailed credit to legiti- Mate business to the extent of $20,- 000,000 less than they had done dur- ing the previous year, and had in- creased by $20,000,000 loans to speculators for the purpose of in- creasing the price of stocks. Out of this total increase in deposits, said the speaker, there had been lent for speculative purposes outside | the country a total of $70,000,000, much to the detriment minion, It was of this Do- a customary thing for a olled these large institutions to say that they placed large sums of money outside the country; that wien a crisis came { they could call this in and strength. en their position without adversely affecting the business interests of the country. But they all knew now that what had actually taken place when the crisis did come was that they did not get a cent of these out- side loans, and they immediately proceeded to curtail the eredit of the individual, municipality and business to bring about safety which was in- tended to have acerued from the out- All they got"from New York was clearing house certiticates, said the Premier Declaring that it was not in ac- cord with the opinion ef the people as a whole that the shareholders of banks should have uncontrolled say as to the mode of investing the mo- ney which they held dn trust for the people," the premier stated that it was unreasonable to think that they should be permitted to do so, con- sidering the fact that the total amount invested in bank stocks in Canada was $114,000,000, whereas the money of the people over which the banks exercised such arbitrary control amounted to $1,700,000,000, which illustrated to what extent the interests of the people were involv- ed, and, in his opinion, constituted sufficient ground for a right to criti- cise and for the people to demand some further power of control in the conduct of these institutions. Al- luding to a recent report of a bank, the name of which he did not spéei- fy, the premier said that the general manager, in. his address, had said that the Government prevented the bank from merging with another in- stitution of the same kind, and al- luded to the veto a8 an outrage. That, in his view, gave some idea of the extent to, which the few men who controlled the country's money be- lieved that they had the full right to say how the money should be in- vested without regard to conditions. Premier Sifton said that he did not intend to suggest any amendments to existing legislation which might be made to obtain the relief desired, be- cause that wasgaa matter controlled by the Domini liament, but having regard to the fact that the banks were not using the funds en- trusted to them for the best interests * of the country, and the amount of the people's: money they had control of, he felt quite free to rise up and criticise and demand that such legin- lation be brought in. 2. 5 LEGITIMATE 'BUSINESS The oftener a man fails the more ~ he is abdicted to habit. * Catarrhal Deafness Cannot He Cured by local applications, as they cannot. reach. the diseased portion of the ear.
