The circulation of THE BRITISH WHIG is authenticated by the ABO Audit Bureau of Circulations The weather being appropriate-- and I(t is most regrettable that Old Probs should talk of the showers at this. time--the fair for which so much preparation has been made should be a success. The directors and the manager have worked long and industriously to accomplish this purpose, and the manager especially put a lot of ginger:into his work. The Whig has 'often thought that aman of Mr. Bushell's energy has been working to litfle purpose within the limits of his service. But it is glad to commend him for the many results which he has accomplished. The fair is groping with the years. It has room for expansion. It can be made worthy of the district, and let us hope that circumstances will favor it to this direction, There is no rea- gon why the agricultural interests of this county should not be united. There is no reason why the county show should not absorb all the other shows and represent thé ambitions and energies of the people in a pro- per way. This is a consummation dearly to be sought. The people of the tity owe it to themselves and to the directors of the exhibition to give it their most cor- dial support, It means a circulation of a good many thousands of dollars in the city during the week, and for that reason, if for no other, the in- stitution should be accorded the greatest encouragement. Oh, no, all judges are not alike. All of them are not susceptible to the mighty dollar.

The Canadian government: will wince, as if ought to do, when the members read the message which Mr, Rowell has brought from the front, the message which he delivered at a large 'Toronto meeting. . The Can- adian troops have done well, and gallantly, as a part of Great Britain's army, But the contingent is defi- cient in one respect, remarkably and astonishingly so. It lacks the aviators who should accompany the men into the field and act as eye-witnesses whose service can be most highly ap- preciated. The attractive feature of all this is that it has required a lay- man, one not burdened with the care of the milifia, or any part of it, to make this anno ent. . Our minister of militia has been over the seas for some weeks, and for a second time. His first visit was cut short by a call to Ottawa, there to atténd the sessions of the Mere- dith-Duft commission. As soon as possible he got off again, to the in- tense relief it may be of the country ~ and the government, and resumed his quately. touring of England, Ireland and Scot- land. He has been the star attraction of many public occasions, He has been at the front, and should "have seen there the things which Mr. Row- ell contemplated, and yet nothing has been heard from him about them.

SYNDICALISM IN AMERICA Today New York city suffers, from a sympathetic strike--from syndical- fsm, which means a united effort of the unions and representing all trades and calling--arising out of labor difficulties in connection with the railways. This was to have be- gun on Monday, but was deferred, pending the outcome of continued negotiations, These difficulties be- gan on Aug. 6th whéh a conference was held between the railway mana- gers and the laborers, and an agree- ment was entered into, It provided for an arbitration of all differences, and for an adjustment of 'them in an amicable way. At thé outset a decision was invoked and given in favor of the men, and all went along favorably towards an abiding peace. On Aug. 30th, the Interborough Rapid Transit Company's officials had a conférence with the subway and elevated railway employees, and it was agreed (1) that the employees should have a right to organize; (2) tha 1 questions between them and the ¥mployers should be referred to and settled by arbitration; and (3) that the employees and employers should meet wehen necessary and discuss their grievances. Later it was discovered through a brotherhood, which employers recognized, many indi- vidual contracts Had been made. It was at once claimed that this was a breach of the agreement. It was demanded that the individual con- tracts should be<cancelled. While the controversy that, the continued strike, and in this regard they erred as they had not given notice of their action and offered an opportunity for arbitration. The mayor of the city, and the chairman of the Public Service Commission, offered their good offices towards the solution of the difficulty, and in a summing-up of their work they say: (1) That the Interborough -Com- pany breached a verbal agreement in refusing to arbitrate on questions which has arisen subsequently to the verbal understanding. (2) That the New York Railway Companies breached their contract settlement of Aug. 6th, and the em- ployees breached it in inaugurating a strike without appeal for arbitra- tion. (3) That the men were guilty of the breaches of the contract for set- tlement of Aug, 7th in the cases of the other street railway lines. The civic commission pleaded that one breach did not correct another, and that as the difficulty widened it was the harder to reconcile. A sym- pathetic strike entailed great injury and hardship upon the city. The men in reply pleaded that "the integrity of unionism has been involved." Eleven thousand men have been con- cerned in the railway strike. If the sympathetic strike goes on, as it is expected to do, there will be six hum- dred thousand men involved. Bus- iness will be paralyzed, On Friday and Saturday a committee, represent- ing the business men of the city, some eventy-five of them, interven- ed and trfed to bring about a truce or a peace. They have labored until 'the present, and in vain. : EDITORIAL NOTES. What has hindered the recruiting in Canada?

CANADA'S DEFAULT IN THE GREAT WAR Toronto World (Ind. Con.). Among the comments made by N. W. Rowell, K.C., on his return from the front, nothing is more important than his statement regarding the po- sition of aeroplaning in relation to the Canadian troops. General Byng told Mr. Rowell that he had found Canada's army a complete fighting unit, with the exception of an air service branch. This, of course, is not the fault of Canadians, but of the militia department in Ottawa. Australia has her own air service, "With & squadron at the front, and an- other in training, but Canada is be- hind in this respect. This is all the more unsatisfactory to Canadians, since young Canadians have furnished the most expert aero- planists in the service. A British officer told Mr. Rowell that Canadian o\ Random Reels "Of Shoes and Ships, and'Seall ng Wax ,of Cabbages and Kings." branches of transportation in impor- tance.

' WOMAN LEADS BLACKS AGAINST THE ALLIES Conducts Guerilla Warfare in East Africa--Her Husband Slain. 3 London, Sept. 27.--A letter from Cape Town says: There has appeared in the Kilimanjaro region a German woman warrior who is leading a force of native.troops without the assis- tance of any other European. : Near the Mountains of the Moon this woman waged a guerilla warfare against the allied forces, and thrilling stories are told of the strange wild [life which she and her black followers 1 ed The native story is that she is the wife of a German commandant who was killed in the fight which™%ook place at Longido on September 25th, 1914. She was so grief-stricken over the death of her husband that she had openly declared to be revenged. The natives, who spoke of her 'as mad woman, said that her anger was particularly concentrated against the King's African Rifles, in a skir- mish with which force her husband had been slightly wounded, and the East African Mounted Rifles. She is described ,as a big woman with flaxen hair. She rides astride and is armed to the teeth. She seems to have a wonderful control over her native followers. . The Askaris tell wonderful stories of the Bibi Sacharini's prowess with the gun. She has the reputation of never missing anything on which she can pull a trigger.

J A + FRPP HRER RRR RRR RRR PRINT PAPER Print paper is a 'thin, frail sub- stance on which newspapers are printed when they can get it. It used to be as common an article as the celluloid collar, but if now hard- er to obtain than the non-stuttering spark plug, Print paper is made in this coun- try with the aid of the German em- pire, which furnishes several impor- tant ingredients for which there is no substitute except raising the sub- scription price or swallowing ssome strangling competitor. This has caused a shortage in the visible sup- ply of print paper which is causing thousands of harassed publishers to figure on opening a truck garden or learning the horseshoeing trade. The scarcity of print paper, how- ever, is having some beneficial ef- fects. There will not be many news- papers established with a sock tull of type and the aid of the local can- didate for Congress. Any man who figures on putting a third paper in a town just large enough for a four- page weekly with a generous collec- tion of patent insides should take a look at the print paper market and then subside in a noiseless and thorough manner. If the paper shortage doesn't lengthen out within threatening to do so for several years would pass peacefully away, after trying to fill a hole in the commun- ity with a total vacuum, there would be more contented readers and satis- filed advertisers.
