Lieut, Dickson stated that he expected to see the 435th Battalion yet. raised in Canada, and believed that the war urged the young men to enlist, as it would last for some time yet, and many more men would be required. He said that he received that day a letter from a woman in Montreal asking if a place could not be found for her sixteen-year-old son as a bugler. His father was a prisoner in!

NDELS Gand Opera House 217 Princess St. University avenue, who was sixty-six years of age, and the oldest building contractor in the city. His fair English Writer is Making a Study of . Canadian Views. To study the Myo wr Canadians toward problems wh ill confront the British Empire after the war, and to do some literary work, Mr. R. P. Farley, of London, is making a tour of Canada, and is now spending a short time in Toronto. Mr, Farley Is the writer who was selectad to add to Green's "Short History of the English People" the history of the past century. "He Is a contributor to Hibbert's Quarterly and to other well-known English reviews and an extension lecturer at London and Ox- ford Universities. At the conclusion of his visit to Canada he will go to the United States to deliver a series of lectures on social conditions on the Continent of Europe. Mr. Farley is one of those who be- lieve that the overseas dominions will have to be consulted before any new plan of Imperial organization is adopted. Therefore, he was loath recently to express an opinion as to the lines upon: which reorganization to bring about closer relations be- tween the different sections of the Egpire should take place. The vast majority of the people of the British Isles, he thought, felt that there should be closer union and more co- operation between the different parts of the Empire. As to the manner in which these ends were to be attained, however, most men were not yet pre- pared to speak. There was a feeling that the commercial bonds between Great Britain and the overseas do- minions should be &lrengthened, and, in view of the necessity for meeting German competition in the world's markets after the war, a lot of peo- ple who were formerly free traders were ready for some measure of protection. "My own personal view," said Mr. Farley, "is that under present cir- cumstances this question of free trade and protection is not the moat important one. My reason for think ing so is that frow a study of Con- tinental countries I have come to the conclusion that those countries whick are prospering are doing so not be- cause of their policies of free trade or protection, bug because of their internal organization and their sys- teme of education." Germany, he 1870 to embark 1, was ready in upon her career of ercial expansion, that time she had a | ; and tech | erman people cally and indus people were, Ir in Switzerlan: pelled to at! hools, whereas in | nd, where there 4 institutions of ce was voluntary success of Ho! industrial and ¢o because even at good oye ae :eir country young people w «end the technica!

Furthermore, the Dutch and Danish peopls showed on the av- erage more adapinbility and a great- | er desire to meet the wishes of for- | eign customers than many produe- ers in the British Isles. There were in England more believers in state | experiments now than there were be- | fore the war, and it was possible that there would be a large increase in state activities for the benefit of the | whole commumity. It would seem de- | sirable that the British Government, having assumed control of the rail- ways of the British Isles for the | period of the war, should take them | over as a national undertaking. The | British people, too, should be more | prompt to avail themselves of new | inventions to increase their effi- | ciency.

Henceforth he is a party hireling and must otily speak and act as he is told. The description may Apply to some members of the Com- mons, but it certainly does not fit Sir Arthur Markham, kpown in the House as "Mr. Wants-to-Know," who must delight his constituents in the Mansfield Division of Nottingham. shire, whom he has represented since 1900, with his energy. The only party Sir Arthur seems to belong to is the "party of awk- ward questioners"--of whom Sir Henry Dalziel Is another member-- the members of which refuse to he satisfied with the stereotyped depart- mental answers to questions which they consider of vital public import. ance. _ It is since the war that Sir Arthar Markbam's '"'want-to-know" bump has developed to such a remarkable extent. A keen debater and a man of rare business acumen, Sir Arthur was little known to the man in the street before the war. But recogniz- ing the need of bringing this war to an end as soon as possible, he devot- ed himself to seeking the weak spots in the various departments respons- ible tor carrying on the war and erit- icizing them, irrespective of the frowns of officials and party whips. Sir Arthur has long been a prom- nent Liberal. He is a wealthy mine- owner, the Mansfield Division being a district full of 'coal-miners and cot liers, And it says much for the way he gets on with his men that the col- liers should choose a coal-owner to represent them in Parliament. Miners don't usually do so. That Sir Arthur can take a humor- ous view of things now and then, though they go against himpelf, is evident from the manner in which he convulsed the House on evening, when the high price of coal was being debated. He said frankly that, whether the price was restricted at the pit head or afterwards, he had made his "share of the profit already and was not seriously alarmed." Needless to say, the House roared in appreciation of this. But the frank- ness was quite characteristic of the member who will always be known as the most outspoken man in the House of Commons. ---------------------- The Richest African.
