- whi a During 'the past few weeks the Post OfMce Department has been ex- ercising a censorship on all mail mat- tor coming into and leaving Canada. Considerable annoyance has been Cgused by the opening of private cor- Tespondence which has been most di- Haunts accomplished by the censors. f they would exercise a small par- ticle of the same care and industry in censoring other things they would Come nearer earning their salaries. The Whig is foreibly reminded of this because of the receipt on the 18th inst. of a book entitled '"Neu- trality, the Crucifixion of Public Op- 0." This book was not smuggl- ed the country, through in the ordinary course of the mails, and is. marked "Censored." It comes from the Neutrality Press, Chicago, and Is a most scurrilous at- tack, not only upon Britain and Can- ada, but also upon all Americans and American newspapers which have Supported the Allies. It is one of most offensive and harmful pub- lieatiohs that could have possibly en- tered the country, ana yet it goes freely through the censors and the mails. What a lot of splendid, wide- awake officidls these censors must be. Just to quote a few paragraphs ta- at random from this publication Ch the censors seem to regard as 'Worthy of circulation in Canada: On Page 10 we find a reference to "the talented and brilliant editors of the 'Fatherland,'" the latter course being the German-American paper excluded from Canada. Page 25:---"It has been truly said that the greatest achievement of the English navy was the cutting of the American-German cable; equally true it is that the supreme strategic achie- vestment of tiie Allies was the cap- tare of the New York press." Be 18: --'"Apparently, the manu- facturiag of Mes is an old and fav- orite 'industry of England, and--it has justly been suggested--a very Profitable one." The Kaiser is described as "this Ereat and noble man and monarch," and of Francis Joseph of Austria, it| As written: "He has shed the seeds of kindness and has regped the most magnificent harvest of love that ever Surrounded a ar monarch." Chapter 24, which begins on page 77, Is entitled "Kitchener, the Butch: en" 'The next tells us that ohe of the most raceful records of infamy is that of the shooting of women and childfen in the Beer War by English so!

WAS ESSENTIAL Full of -- Canada and Britain y Ys ond fo dl Satof rwgh Case can only justify the action of the Germans." Page 117:--*The press of this country allowed itself to be led by the notoriously lying and defamatory press of England." Page 135:-- "The scurrilous, dirty, unwomanly contributions of the Eng- lish women about their German sis- ters are the more unpardonable be- cause everything they wrote is false, libelous, and unworthy of them. It may not be amiss to give iwo or three samples to the effect that the femin- ine world of England is not f Arie hind that male portion of libélous accusers and vilifiers which fll with rotten twaddle and filthy lies the pages of English as well as American newspapers and current literature." Page 174:--""Wake up, America! Don't forget that in fighting Eng- land's claim of absolute rulership of the seas, Germany is fighting for the United States as well as for all other neutral countries." Page 180:-- "Blood thicker than water? Yes, and blacker than pitch, ahd moére poisonous than the venom of a rattlesnake. Hands across the sea? Yes, to throttle every Ameri can industry the big paw can choke the life out of and to grab every bit of American trade that the big paw is capable of grasping. Hypocrisy of the rankest kind it is." This charming publication also contains a complimentary paragraph on the Kaiser from the pen of our own Sir Gilbert Parker, written some years ago. The above are only a few of the many quotations that might be made containing discredit- able and dishonorable attacks upon the Allied cause. Nor is this book more objectionable than the Hearst papers which it praises so lavishly and which the government still al- lows to enter the country. The fail- ure of the censors to stop "Neutra- lity" in the mails is another illustra- | tion of their futility. The book should never have left the Kingston post office, The very title on the ad- dress label ought to have been en- ough to catch the eyes of the most stupid censor.

WHY YOUNG GIRLS GROW PALE AND WEAK The Blood Sduply is Deficient And Unless the Trouble is Remedied Consumption May Follow. When girls frow weak, pale and miserable, then is the time for par- ents to take prompt steps. Delay means danger---Perhaps consump- tion. The girl in her tdens cannot develop into a happy, robust woman without an abundant supply of rich, red 'blood in her veins, It is the lack of this good blood that is the great trouble with nine girls out of every ten. They grow weak and de- pressed; lose their - appetite, are breathless after the slightest exer- tion and suffer from headaches and backaches. Whei girls are in this condition there is no medicine can compare with Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. In the use of thbse Pills there is splendid vigorous 'health, with | Slowing cheeks and sparkling eyes, | for every unhappy fragile girl who {is struggling on to wo in & wretched state of health. This is why thousands of girls and women, now robust and attractive, are com- stantly recommending Dr. Pink Pills to their suffering sex. Miss Edith Brousseau, Savona, B.C., Says: "At the de of fourteen I be- came very anaemic. I was us pale as & ghost, suffered from headaches, severe valpitation of the heart at the slightest exertion, [I had little or no appetite and seemed to be . drifting into a decline. 1 was attending high schol in Vancouver at the time, the doctor advised me to I did 80 and took his treatment for some time, 'but it did not help me in the least.

Never was there a more mournful example of the way in which a little overseas expedition is liable to develop into a great and costly campaign. Though we should have never left the dist- ricts accessible to sea transportation, the Mesopotamian forces was in- creased to an army corps, which be- fore very long was waging three minor campaigns at three points of a triangle. "The command in Mesopotamia meanwhile passed to Lieut. Gen. Sir John Nixon an officer, who com- bined excessive optimism with ex- tremely faulty judgment, Unsound Strategy. "On: his suggestion, Gen.
