Carnegie has given a new ex- planation of what he meant by "see- ing Allison" when Mr. Harris wanted to discuss shell contracts with him. Col. Carnegie says he merely wanted Mr. Harris to consult with Col. Car- negie because Allison was a man of affairs or information. Too thin. Mr. Harris, a Canadian manufac- turer, knew his business. He did not want any talk with Allison, the favorite middleman, under the cir- cumstances. To consult a man who, for financial considerations, would be apt to cut his throat, would not be giving evidence of much tact or busi- ness acumen. The explanation of Col. Carnegie with regard to Allison in this con- nection is on a par with some of the other 'explanations he has made be- cause he has talked too fast or too much', The Bull Moose is ready to stam- pede the Republican Convention which is in session in Chicago.

One rises from a contemplation of the life of Kitchener to reflect that he was a product of the wars in which "he was engaged. He set out, like all young men who decided deliber- ately, as he did, to adopt the science 'of arms. In this respect he follow- ed in the footsteps of his respected father, who was an officer of the British army. He served well and faithfully wherever he was sent. He was not a glacker or a shirker. He had one prime characteristic, that he did well and whole-heartedly every- thing to which he put his hand. Op- portunities came and he took advan- tage of them. Wars made him a hero and a soldier. i In like manner this great war is making soldiers of many men. Its showing the material of which they are made. It is displaying their courage, their valour, their fitness for leadership. One reads with sur- prise that since Canada decided.to share in the campaign, to contribute of her fighting power to the support of the Allies, over six thousand men have fallen. It is a terrible toll. It is light, however, when compared with the losses of the Belgians and Britons. In thé battle of Ypres, covering several days, Canadians suf fered severely through the fatal or serious wounding of over one hun- dred of the officers, and their places 'must be filled at once. Promotions hereafter, it is an- nounced, will be made from the ranks, The men who survive the casualties of the conflict, who show fitness and prowess, will, like the present chief of the British staff, Sir William Robertson, be given the com- mands for which they are qualified. There will not, or should not, be any bar to their rise to the highest posi- tions.

The needs of the people have in many ways been helped, and for their relief the Herald has col- lected and expended hundreds of thousands of dollars. .

They were convicted of high treason, and the Herald calls them "mar- tyrs." 4 Nay, more, the government which called them to account is referred to as "stupid" and "unjust"; as guilty of "swift and savage slaughter; of energizing in the people "the very thing she tries to kill'; of "missing the one chance to sublimate Irish pa- triotism"; of adding *'a score of ear- nest faces and staunch souls to the already crowded gallery of Irish mar- tyr-heroes." The Herald will lose caste with those who believed it editorially in- capable of expressing opinions quite so rank as those the Whig has quot- ed. The spirit of the Herald's foun- der, who was a German, would not approve of sentiments quite so anti- British. During his lifetime he could be depended upon to treat ev- ery question from a Christian stand- point and leave political venom to the papers which liked it.

GERMANY'S PLAN REVEALED. Robert' Donald, of the London Chronicle, who appears to enjoy the confidence of the British Government to a remarkable extent, writes to the Gazette de Lausanne, a Swiss paper, a compléta_réveélatioa of the diplo- matic relations which existed be- tween Germany and Britain prior to the war. In 1912 Germany invited Britain to consider a better under- standing between the two empires with regard to certain matters. As they pertained to war, Lord Halk dane, the Minister of War, was se- lected by the Asquith Government. He had several interviews in Germany with the Kaiser and with his mini- sters. All these expressed them- selves in favor of peace, under cer- tain conditions, namely, that Britain would not intervene in any wars in which Germany would be involved. That was the great aim of Germany in the conference: At the time Great Britain and France and Rus- sia were in a compact which Britain was bound to keep, and Germany, though not openly, was most anxious to break. Not much came of this conference in Germany. The entente remained. Respecting some affairs in Africa.and Asia Minor there was a re-adjust- ment, and an agreement, which was never signed, regarding the Bagdad Railway. But the general diplomatic relations were unchanged. Germany was made to realize that Britain would not permit France to be crush- ed under any circumstances. The neutrality of Belgium would be de- fended. The entente would resist] any war in which Germany became the aggressor. Lord Haldane did 'not see at the time that Germany meant war in Europe under some pretext, because Germany and Bri- tain had co-operated in the most triendly way in adjusting the Balkan difficulties. But Haldane did see the navy and gave assurapce that Britain would discount it by laying down two keels to Germany's one, There were suspicious circum- stances in Germany. One was the raising of a loan of $250,000,000 for frontier defences on the west, a loan which was used, by the way, in providing munitions of war and big guns to a remarkable extent. Ger many could have been called to ac count Jor her use of money in this way, but it was not Great Britain's duty to take the initiative any more than it was the duty of the allied purpose of Germany to enlarge her| ee -- ambition which the Kaiser had tried and failed to overcome, : Thus one gets a correct view of the German status In this war. Con- flict came as the result of plans, secretly conceived and carried out, and for mo other purpose than to give Germany a larger place upon the map of Europe, with no object in view save her right to' dictate to and domineer over the other powers. em st---- EDITORIAL NOTES, Kelly, the Winnipeg contractor, deserted by his counsel because the court would not let them have their way with regard to the trial, is the spectacle of the day. -------------- Members of the Anglican Synod in Toronto wanted to advertise to the world the names of those who, being eligible, refused to enlist and serve their king and country.

Toronto World It would seem that Canadians, law- ministers, are oncerned in the welfare of the ote rowd and the Ross rifle crowd than they are in unifying Canada for the defence of civilization, of our coun- try, of our people; are more concern- ed .about the interests and about faction than they are about our noble sons, falling in the tre thousands! B kis Arenches-hy The time has come for a reorgani- zation of the government at Ottawa and of the government at Toronto, and to free them from the men who are manipulating the situation to the advantage of the interests, and at times of interests that are centred in Germany, Th interests domin- ate things because they can line up politicians and papers from both sides to, accomplish nefarious and un- patriotic ends and can keep the poli- ticians fighting over factional issues when a united policy on national and imperial issues would save the comi- monwealth, though it might be to the disadvantage of selfish ends. How much longer have we to en- dure these things? Our appeal is to the people, not to the politicians. Big measures and bigger men are needed; new and sweeping policies are called for; economic cancers must be treated in a heroic way; the lives of oir people are at stake; yet most of us are willing to side-step the duties that press for settlement.

The amount of free advice distrib- uted in this country every day would reach from Vancouver to Halifax, if laid end on end, and more samples are left at people's doorsteps in a week than the combined output of all the Nver pill and plug tobacco fac- tories in the land. Despite the fact that advice does not cost anything, it is given about as warm a welcome as a small but wiry meat bill which has beef paid four times by actual count. Scattered all through the closets, attics and spare rooms in thousands of hum- ble homes may be found neglected, 'moth-eaten packages of advice which were given along with the wedding presents and were then tied up and laid away along with five or six sets of extra silver nutpicks. Once in a while some repentant wife, who has maligned her husband for refusing to partake of a delicacy brought home from the last church supper, will remember some advice that her mother gave her when they were framing up the bridal wreath and apologize with fresh cream puffs, but this is a rare happening. The freer advice is the less people like and the madder they get when turns in at the front gate. 3 Advice is mostly given by people who have been there or had some relative who has been there and never recovered. The sick room probably produces more advice than any other locality on earth, unless it is a revival meeting led by a reform- ed soak. If the average sick per- son took all of the remedies pre- scribed for him by kind-hearted neighbors who have seen them tried out, his stomach would look like the interior of a chemical laboratory within six hours. The worst trial the doctor has is the well-meaning| old lady who insists on throwing a plate of corn-beef hash into a pa- tient whom he has limited to a diet of beef broth and fresh air.
