"I have loyally supported all 'the war measures of the Government, have appealed to all classes of my fellow-citizens to rise to the occasion and do their share, not only in contri- buting money, but in the ranks by doing battle for the great cause. And I am here to-day for the same pur- pose and object, to appeal to my fel- low-countrynién of all origins to do their duty, and ask rll who can go to take their places amongst those who are contending for the cause of civilization on the fields of France and Flanders."--S8ir Wilfrid Laurier at Beauce, in Quebec, The churches in New York, In dis- cussing education, ¢laim that it is in- effective because it.does not include religion. Pure religion, and unde- filed, and free from dogma, is a pretty hard thing to teach, DOCTRINE OF FOREORDINATION, Late English papers give graphic sccounts of the loss of the Hamp- shire, which was bearing Lord Kitch- ener and his swite to Russia. Early in the evening, between seven and eight o'clock, the battleship struck a mine, and immediately dipped in the bow. A great gale was on, and before the accident the waves through which the great ship ploughed washed her decks. Many of the hatches had been battened down.. In fifteen min- utes from the time of the explosion 'the ship had passed from view. Two rafts were cut away, and each carried about fifty of the crew. Most of them perished. The ship's boats were lowered, only to sink in the tampestuous sea. One was smash @l in the launching. Meanwhile, Kitchener appeared, calm, collected, and imperturbable. Like all on board, he realized his peril. The captain called to him to ascend the bridge and seek refuge in the captain's boat, but he seems to have accepted the situation with his staff and gone down with them. There appears to be something in foreordination. Did Kitchener be-| lieve in it? It is said that he feared the sea He never set sail without a life saver under his vest, and one which could be. easily inflated. He may have depended on its use in this case, or he may have for-once, and pursuant to the doctrine of fate, omitted a resort to it. The conclu- sion follows that his time had come, that his work had been finished, and that the sea claimed him as its own in the fulfilment of all things. Armand Lavergne is again talking, and this time against his beloved France. Canadians have no busi- ness, he says, in crossing the water and fighting the battles of the Mother Country. Cannot he be muzzled in some way? A SUPREME SACRIFICE. The American press enlarges upon the sacrifices of some of the wealth jest men in leaving their business or professional (calling and enlisting for active military service. . The man of wealth is fiot, proportionately, mak- ing a bifkér surrender than the men of smaller means or no means. They offer their lives, as be offers his, on the altar of the country. The wealthy man leaves something substantial for the good of his de * pendents. The man who is not wealthy leaves his dependents as the wards of the nation, and the pation is expected to do its part so far as these wards are concerned, and to reverts to Britain, in which the su preme sacrifice has been made on an nobility were misjudged in the days f their ease and affuence. The war saw them enlisting in thousands. Scarcely a titled family in the realm failed to offer of its best, if not of its all, for public service. The annals of the kingdom show that the aristo- eracy has made even greater sacri- fices than the democracy. The tributes of the American press to America's upper class are deserv- "led, but the experiences of America are the experiences of the world. No natiori has a monopoly of the life that is surrendered freely, cheerfully and resolutely at the call of the crown or colours. S The beer manufacturers, the coal barons, the boot and shoe makers, the shippers and the bankers of Brit- ain are sald to have become enor- mously rich through the war. These, so far as money is concerned, will constitute Britain's nobility in the future "MERITS OUR GRATITUDE. "The Y. M. C. A. officials say that that organization is prepared to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to care for the National Guard and oth- er troops on the Mexican border." Such is the announcement of the New York Times, and it cannot be too highly valued. The war has demon- strated the usefulness of this associa- tion. It has always been well man- aged, has had excellent leaders, skill- ed managers, enthusiastic agents, and secretaries and scouts that have been equal to any emergency. Our. boys at the front have in many letters extolled the virtues ofsthose who represent the Y. M. C. A. These men, carrying supplies and comforts into the trenches and dug-outs, and sharing the dangers of the battle- field, have earned the praise and gra- titude of the soldiers. The mail service has been extraor- dinary. The letters to and from the front have been carried with re- markable regularity. Sometimes they have been delayed a few days, as the transmission in delivery has been delayed, and as a result of changes in the military lines, or changes in the location of the mili- | tary units. But every letter from | the men on duty, and every letter or parcel that is sent to them, is faith- fully delivered. : Thanks to the regularity of the postal service, the soldiers are pretty well looked after, and yet, as an ad- junct of the home and the post office, the Y. M. C. A. has been rendering a service which is simply inestimable. The fact that the United States has a war bn with Mexico, or that there is a prospect of one, stirs the Y.M.C.A. of America to the greatest activity. Hostilities may not follow, but if they do the Y. M. C. A. will accom- pany the troops and share with them all the dangers of the day In this way it is proving itself the one thing that in its efficiency and effectiveness is deserving of the support of the government as well as the people.

Yel _Epidemte The report of the Board of Health of a further series of cases of infan- tile paralysis yesterday brings the total number of children stricken in the city by the affliction in the last ten days up to nearly two hundred. The cases are confined to the Wil- liamsburg, South Brooklyn and Bay Ridge sections, but there is, of course, no guarantee that the infec- tion may not spread beyond its pres- ent boundaries, It is scarcely twenty years agob that the occurrence of this disease in epidemic was first noted, though there seems no doubt that is has been 'in existence for a very long time. Its scientific name, acute an- terior poliomyelitis, describes it as a rapid inflammation of the anterior gray matter of the spinal cord. This accounts for ith high fatality and un- fortunate crippling effects, which make it one of the most dreaded of so-called children's diseases. It is not absolutely confined to early childhood, -however, and may attack growing young folk of later years up almost to adult life. This makes extremely inadvisable the holding ef school closing exer- cises that ould bring together large numbers of children in neigh- borhoods where the disease has been noted. Only great care in segregat- ing cases will prevent the develop- ment of a very serious epidemic in crowded tenement house quarters, now that the disease is evidently present in such a virulent form as the numbers already affected show.

It has been discovered from the replies that there are some muni- cipalities in Ontario where there is no such organization. 21,000,000 COULD FIGHT, This is The Number of Men in U_S.

Washington, July '5.--There are more than 21,000,000 men of imili tary age in the United States, ac- cording to a bulletin issued by the [Census Bureau on the census of 1910, and showed that there were then 19,183,000 males between. ths eges of 18 and 45 in the United States. On the assumption that there has been an increase of ten per cent. in the population of the country since 1910, the Census Bur- eau 21,071,076 males between 18 and 45 of military age, in the country.

THE WISDOM TOOTH. at be The wisdom tooth is a bright tempt on the part of Nature to funny with nmn. Nature is constant- ly springingtlittle jokes of this char- acter, such as the double-headed calf and the three-legged hen, but when she invented the wisdom tooth she committed a thoughtless and in- human act. No good reason has ever been ad- vanced why the wisdom tooth should be allowed to live and litter up the human mouth. It is one of the most poorly located teeth we have, occupy- ing a seat in the nineteenth row of the third balcony, where it cannot bite into anything except the cheek of the wearer. One of the most dis- appointing experiences a hungry man can have is to ainp his teeth at a porterhouse steak three inches thick and have his wisdom teeth miss the target entirely and maim a perfectly good cheek. Science has long asked why Nature did not lo- cate the wisdom tooth nearer the main traveled road, instead of hang- ing it off to one side, where nothing \.
