There are said to be 100,000 Smiths in the United States army. Why not let the Smiths finish this war by themselves? A University of Chicago professor has printed a classification of all possible lies. How does he expect to circulate such a bulky volume? ' The Utilities Commission does well to insist that the unfair report of the Fire Underwriters' inspector should be further inquired into. If inaccurgeles exist, as stated, they should be corrected. In olden days, MY. Nickle told the House in his apeech: on Monday, titles were awarded for service, bul now they were usel The whole country agrees. Titles have come _ to be but empty baubles.

Ever since the Kaiser started thia war the 'Allies who arrayed them- selves . against ° him have found strength 'and comfort in the know- ledge that they were fighting for the right. This war is looked upon as a struggle between might and right] Unquestionably this attitude is a correct ome, for it is quite evi- dent that the Allies are upholding a righteous cause -- the cause of liberty, freedom and |democracy; while the Central Powers believe on- ly in the victory of might, without regard to right or wrong. In this the Allies have found a great source of power, but there'is also hidden there a danger spot It has grown to be looked upon as too great an ally The. knowledge that our armies aio fighting upon the side of right helps their morale; but it should not be taken to mean that we are going te win just because we are right. When things are JZoing hard, and when reverses are being suffered, the old cry that the right cannot be defeated is revived. This leads to a false sense of security and encourag- .e8 a spirit of lethargy which is of great danger to the cause. The war cannot be won by micely-turned phrases and lofty speeches. The war is won, not on the public platform or in the columns of the press, but on the battlefields of Europe. Might as organized its resources of men, money and material into a huge war a similar machine of greater magni- tude. Organized might can and will defeat unorganized right. There edn be no doubt on that point. Even now, at this critical stage of the struggle, there is toa great a tend: ency to sit back and say, "The en- emy cannot win because we are in the right." That is a fatal error. The enemy can win, and will win, unless we organize all our resources with the one aim in view, namely, the crushing of the machine of might which is bent upon our destruction. Britain .is shaking off this idea- worship; France has Jong since realized its fallibility: but here in Canada it sti rules. There is too much waste in Canada's war or- ganization; there is too much leth- argy in Canada's war work. The re- sources of the nation are not being utilized to their full extent in tak- ing part in the struggle of right against might. tries and trades should be suspend- ed, and their energies devoted to war work. Every man and woman 'should be engaged on some kind sf work essential to the carrying on of the war to a successful conclusion That my seem drastic; but it is the only way by which we can hope for success. Right must © organize to beat might. No other way will bring victors. The German army has be- hind it every ounce of Strength that the nation possesses . in men, ma- terials and money. Until our army at the front has the same support-- the support of the whole nation we cannot hope to come to a deci- sion. Let. this undivided suppork be | given. Then we can look with as- surance for a triumph of the forcet upholding right. Only super-or- ganized right ¢an defeat organized might; and just realized, and | thie tide will turn definitely in our favor and our arms will be frantey the victory. Tig AN OPTIMISTIC OUTLOOK.
