Canada in the east was menaced by German craft, and had to be protected by British crpis- ers, while one of the cruisers which had been purchased by the Laurier government was dismantled and out of commission. Had she been in the service she could have captured, as Mr. Macdonald said, half & dozen German ships and held them as prizes. Had the Pacific coast been guarded, as it Would have been had the Laurier naval policy Been. car- ried out, thé people of British Colum- bia would not have been terrified as they were by German craft, and Sir Richard McBride would not have bought a couple of discarded subma- rines at fabulous prices, and foisted them upon the federal government. The question of the day is not what was said or expected or feared in 1911, but what happened in 1914- 15, and what is happening now, with a government at Ottawa that is ut- terly unfitted for the duties of the hour. Sir Robert Borden's scrap- book story is sorry reading in view of the late German menace. aupt, is that the City was not named after the Berlin of 'the Old Land; that the Germans have contribut to the industrial wealth of the city: that by changing the name they will be subjects of public derision; ang '| that they are proud of their race and want the question of the hour sub- mitted to a vote of the people. There is an air of bravado in all this, and it betokens the presence of the spirit that Canada cannot be ex- pected to patiently tolerate. It may be that the Germans think they are being unduly humiliated when they are commanded to register at the City Hall, but they must remember that some diabolical things have | been charged against representatives "of their race in Canada, and that, as a consequence, they should be inter- ned as the only safe proceeding. Mr. Breithaupt is very indisereet in his appeals, He is surely tempting the fates, ; Villa's troubles--his invasion of the United States at southern points and thie murder of certain Americans --is probably the result of German influence. The Kaiser's emissaries are getitng back at the United States as the ohe assertive neutral power. President Wilson's course is the cor- rect one. Villa and his murderous band must be exterminated. : | PUBLIC OPINION Fr Ah Bithys - limited | "You can stride swiftly to- | ward - success if your feet you gaily dress" ne Who Ig This Caruso? - (Philadelphia Public Ledger.)

Granted that the lib- erals of Canada were deceived by the Germans in 1911, what about the lib- erals and the tories, too, of Britain.
