I AIA PN INN ~~ LLOYD GEORGE'S OPINION. "We have now reached the stage when the ordinary things of political life sink into insignificance by the side of the tremendous issues which are involved. 1 often think of the things weé quarrelled about three, four, five or six years ago, and now I am amazed at the tremendous things we have in hand. The fate of millions of men and millions of money 'hang in the balance, and 'I feel angry when I see people worry- ing about the-littie-things ef yester day, and thinking those are the things that matter, and I say to these people: 'Are your eyes not open?' This is no time to pother."---Lloyd George on a recent occasion, The veteran politician reasons that in the Union Government it will be . & question of who can survive. Sure. 1y the fittest, and time mist be given for demonstration of this fact. REAL DANGER TO ITALY. Germany has done more harm in the world by the dexterity and de. eéits of her diplomats than by the furies of her armies. The military science of forty years was shown in the first year of the war, when the German army, at its best, overrun Belgium and France, and seemed to be sure of capturing Paris. 'From that day to this there has been a deterjoration of German skill, as it has. been expressed through the army. There have been occasional exhibitions of its 'power, as when it invaded Serbia," Russia, 5 Rumania, and later, Maly: But Germany after all these tests Was been fighting a losing battle. long since was that somehow she could hold out until the submarines bad made the traffic of the ocean impossible, and, in desperate want, Britain would haye to sue for 'peace. Alb7the 'while Gorman intriguers, masking as innocent or. plausible people, have scattered themselves and their wealth aver the world, and they have souglit do bribe or buy the influences that militated against the Allies. Russia had against her the worst of all the conspirators In the royal family, some members of whom were treasonably occupied, while others presumed to lead the forces against the: foe. Some were extoll- ing the virtues and independence and at the same time . concerning themselves in deep-seated 'schemes that meant the Surrender of the Rus. sian empire. And proposition in favor of peace, of with peace as its objective, was tinged with German treachery. Ae Russia is showing to-day some of the deplorable results of German mendacity. The people were used %o the tyrannous rile of the Roman- offs. With it removed there was a swing of the pendulum to the other 'extreme, t3 the greater laxmess in|, government and discipline. Kornl- Toff knew how impossible it was to fight an enemy that was forever helped by the instability of the Rus. sian army. Keretisky.

H.. PF the popular letter writer, has become a liberal-union- ist. He can do this without any one suspecting that he is sacrificing his political princ iples. Gadsby, NEED OF NOISE. The Whig has been asked what 1s there to be gained by the demonstra. tion with it is proposed to launch the Victory War Loan cam- paign on Monday. The answer might be, What is to be gained by advertis. ing generally? Attention is called to, something unusual moment, and in such a way that no one can question the meaning or expediency of it. . ER Everyone knows Mit 'a war {s'on and that every day it is stamp- ing its effects upon'the affairs of the world. With the development of the last few days it is becoming strik- ingly obvious that the conflict lies very largely with the Anglo-French races, and the struggle is nearing a crisis. Well, 'how does that affect Canada? Very materially. Canada, to exist at all. or to come out of this ordeal with the other overseas Do- minions and Mother Country credit. ably, or even to survive the crash of pations, must wake up to the idea that her resources must be used to the limit. The publicity department of the Victory War Loan Commitee 'has to resort to strange and unique devices in order to make a certain thing known, to wit: That the coun- try wants to borrow $150,000,000 and can use and will accept $300,- 000,000. Cannot this® be told without a noise? It can. But there are some peoplé who would not pay attention unless there was an c<xplosion of some kind, and the concussion may be so loud in this case that no one will=have any doubt about what is going on. which of The United States Government will fix the size and the price of the loaf of bread. Canno! our man Hanna go as far? What is putting the bread up now if the controller of food is limited, as he promised to do, the profit on flour to 25¢ per bbl? pis BARTERING FOR POWER. The nationalist leader is willing to support the liberal leader, and help him to "throw down the government of national treason." He has no use for the liberal conscriptionists and professes to have only contempt for those wha "bartered them. selves away." The "anguage is expressive because it comes from the man who ratted on his party in 1911, stumped the pro- vince of Quebec and transformed the campaign from reciprocity to anti- military and naval service, and help- ed the conservative leader into pow- jer. He is the same man who bartered { for the representation of the nation. {alists in the Borden government) Two of these nationalists have re- mained in the @Government--rthey {did not follow the example of the {late Hon.

He was ever a partisan, « thorn in the side of his political op-| ponents, but even when his language was strong in denunciation, his suav- ity and urbanity never failed him. Mr. Pugsley had announced his sup- port of the Union Government, and had he preferred to continue in pub- lic fife, would probably have had }t- tle difficulty as a Unionist candidate in securing election, He has chosen, however, retirement to the compara- tive ease and quiet of the guber- natorial office where the lings and arrows of political adversaries will no longer assail him. His courteous manners and placid temperament fit him for the acceptable discharge of the functions of Lieutenant-Governor and his appointment is certain te be acclaimed by a great company of per- sonal friends to whom, under often trying circumstances he is said. on more than one occasion to "have shown himself friendly. hr Another German War Credit. New York Times. spt it was announced yesterday that another war credit for 15,000,000, 000 'marks would be introduced in the Reichstag on Nov. 22nd, although the seventh loan closed only a few days before our own Liberty Loan. That loan brought up the total of German war loans to something over eighteen billion dollars, without 'cov- ering all that Germany has spent, Germany's war costs approach thirty billion dollars, the difference being represented by issues of paper, There Overcoats For Young Men and Men Who Want to Stay Young.
