Industrial Canada is- annoyed at the incompetence or inertness of the government. It has hesitated so ong about making up its mind what J It will do with recruiting that one is bound to wonder whether its mem- bers have any mind to make up. "Canada," says our contemporary, 'is no slacker, but the men who com- pose the government are slackers of the worst kind if they per- sist in .negativing the de- sires and efforts of the people." France, Russia and England, or if Industrial Canada continues: "If any one of them, had fought this war in the same lassezfaire manner that Canada is fighting it, we would have had a Von Bissing over here by this time as Governor-General. Can- ada is in sore need of a Lloyd-George to-day. Let him show himself, let him declare himself, and the people of Canada will 'back him to the hilt. Enough of policiticians!. Give us a Statement!" And Industrial Canada is not a party organ. It is, as is announces, "issued by the Canadian Manu- facturers' Association," and its gene- ral secretary is Its editor. It is therefore, expressing the sentiment of the business men of Canada and if a most positive way. D. A. Moulton, the vice-president of the Chicago Corn Exchange, after a visit to Canada, tells the American people that annexation is quite near or expedient. On what does he base this assumption? Where has he been, and what has he been see- ing, to suggest so insane idea? THEY ARE MURDERERS. The nerve of the German raider is great. Having undertaken to invade Ingland, and to rain down bombs upon a defenseless people, wounding and killing many, the captain of a Zeppelin crew now finds himself a prisoner. Hig first request is that he be allowed to 'phone some one in London, and have his wife notified that he is safe. His captor very properly reminded him that he might not be as safe as he supposed. He was subject to a very serious in- dictment. The charge preferred against the first Zeppelin raiders was that of murder, and these raiders are still in England, and subject to prose- cution for their crime. It was felt that they were mot worthy of the treatment of ordinary prisoners of war. Men going inty battle accept of its contingencies, and those Wh fall into the hands of the enem should be honorably treated. But they fight fairly, with the new de- 'vices of phe war department it is * true, but nevertheless fairly.

This minister felt savage about an exposure, and want- ed to attack the Norris government because of it, and could only do so by attacking the judge. It was a far-fetched and far-away method of abusing the new local government, but it was the only way at Mr. Rog- ers' command. And what a sorry mess he made of it!. He represents a government which, when it attain- ed power, ay ed scores of com- missions, whose whole object was to gather up the partisan complaints of partisan office seekers, and on them found judgments which would cause the removal of public officials. He approved of the appointment of commissions whose charges, for ser- vices alleged to have been rendered, astonished the country. He was one cf those who appointed even judicial commissions to investigate scandals o! the rankest kind, and scandals which, if kept under cover, promised to rend or destroy his party.

Like a Nietschean superman he addresses himself to his task. With ealm yet resolute countenance he puts 'aside all doubts, all petty fears, all weakening considerations. His duty, as he sees it, is to set Can- the House, to stir latent race hat- reds, to emphasize differences, to drive a wedge of misunderstanding between Quebec and all the other provinces. He strives with all his might toward this end. No weakling spirit of compromise clouds his lucid style. He does not say, as sentimentalists might say, "Let us strive patiently to understand one another before resorting to mu- tual abuse!" He does not deceive himsef with any hopes that the French-Canadian will change his or ignored it, and accused the judges of taking graft when they helped to expose the wickedness of a govern- ment which, on account of it, went down to infamy and disgrace.

Once again it is timely to ask whether the deer and moose season does not open too early in the Pro- vince of Quebec. Every year the Society for the Protection of Fish and Game reports that carcases of these animals are rotting in the woods," from which the hunters have been unable to bring them owing to the warm weather. Of what use is it to anyone to slaughter these splen- did beasts, when, as it often happens, even the hides cannot be saved? Word has come down from the big bush that game is more plentiful this year than for many years, on account of the forest fires, which have driven the animals much nearer to, eciviliza- tion than ever before. In conse- quence we pay expect a greater slaughter than ever and, as an equal consequence, a shortage in years to come. This constant drain upon the magnificent game supply which Nat- ure has provided in this province can- not continue indefinitely. Each year the organizations which make it their business to look after the en- forcement of their game laws pio- EDITORIAL NOTES. The Telegram is persuaded that what Canada wants is not a fiew party, but a new'leader--of the gov- ernment. It is right. Could any- thing be more helpless than the ag- gregation which is called a govern- ment in Ottawa at the present time? Hon Mr. Rogers is like the Zeppe- lin. He hurls his bombs and scur- ries away. When he gave out his interview in Winnipeg, abusing Judge Galt, he disappeared, and just in time to escape the process server and his subpoena. What a pity it was that he missed that face to face talk with the judge.' i Was there anything in the court proceeding in Winnipeg, anything in what Judge Galt said, that warranted the abuse by the minister of public works in the sper which was published in his paper? - Absolutely nothing. The attack was basel shameful, unprecedented, and Mr. Rogers will suffer personally and po- litically on actount of if. The Belgians are said to be starv- ing. They are helpless because they are persecuted, oppressed, robbed by the Germans. In their abandonment and misery, without care and proper food, hundréds are in hospitals, and many of them dying from tubercu- losis. 83 far as they can, the Ger- mans are bent on extbrminating the race.

The sundae' is an improvement over the old-fashioned cornstarch ice-cream that used to be served on the church lawn. A few years ago you could not go anywhere in this broad land without ruining into the sallow complexion of plain vanilla ice-cream, with a- lingering, prehen- sive flavor. It was in order to ren- der this flavor null and void that the sundae was invented, and as a re- sult nobody eats plain ice-cream any more except to appease an outraged stomach, The sundae is a mixed drink and consists of ice-cream smothered in everything but young onions. Ow- ing to the prohibition wave thous- ands of skilful bartenders have been thrown out of employment, but most of them have since been hired to manufacture the ice-cream sundae ip long, wriggling relays. Every few days some former barkeep will bring out a new sundae which is harder to mix than a Welsh rarebit in a hay cooker; thus stimulating busi- ness and creating a widespread de- Tay Pay O'Connor, the distinguish- ed London journalist, who has the opportunity of getting very near to the best sources of information, says that the war may be over by Christ- mas.
