Canadian guns have Tocently put twenty-two German batteries out of action. Evidently our boys are learning how to shoot. The third Liberty Loan in the United States has now passed tfe billion mark. One thing is certain: our neighbors believe dn making their dollars fight for them. Over a month has elapsed. since the Huns started their big drive for Paris and the channel ports. So far the. third and 'fifth British armies have held back 1,500,000 Huns. 'Blessed are the meek, shall inherit the earth." But it doesn't seem to be the meek who are inheriting that large portion of the earth known as Russia. for they Every man, woman, boy and girl who is strong enough and old en- ough to work should get busy in some kind of activity to help in the campaign Of greater production.

Canada is an agricultural country, and farmers form the great ma- jority of the population. All of the} other professions and trades are] merely incident to and dependent | upon the e¢ultivation of the soll. No longer is the farmer regarded as a| hawer pf wood and a drawer © water. To-day his energy and - terprise, always an example to his felldw citizens, may bring victory to the Empire. For in times of great stress true values find their proper the fabric of artificiality is cast into the dust chaff is separated from the true grain. The deliberations of the Agricul- tural Committee on Saturday, to devise ways and means Tor greater production of food, show us the position of the farmer and the pro- blems- he has to meet. It was made evident that to raise more food, more labor must be employed, and that, as this entails greater expense, the price of food stuffs must he raised. It might be said that if the' farmer has a larger crop to dispose of, why raise the price? The farm- er has no assurance of a ¢rop. His expense is the same each year and a bad year offsets any good year so that he never reaches a position of affluence. The problem of labor for the farms must be solved in a satisfac- tory manner if there is to be a greater production of food. minds se- behind the men's as the THE DECISIVE BATTLE. It is conceded by all the Allied military critics that Germany is staking her all upon the preseit of- fensive. For her, it must be now or never. Every day's delay in se- curing a favorable decision is fatal to her plans, since it allows for the bringing into action of the reserve divisions of the British, French and American armies. If she cannot de- stroy the British army at the very onset she stands little or no chance of ever accomplishing her purpose. After more than a month of intense fighting, it is st i too early to say that the greatest battle in the world's history has been decided. We know that the first German onset! has. failed, that our front is unbrok- en, and that our enemy has suffer- ed gigantic losses without gaining stratpgic advantage to compensate for them. Though, as a iter in Everyman points out, we have had to yield more ground than was an- ticipated, and the German armies have come dangerously near to the main arteries of our system of de- OP" fence, an almost unbelievable toll in lives has been exacted for every step in the advance. There is ob- viously a limit to this process, but it must not be assumed that it has yet been reached. No list of casu- * |alties, no matter how appaling, will deter the German leaders from go- ing on with the gamble on which they have staked the fate of the Hohenzollern dynasty and the whole militarist system. "The! German 'offensive was undertaken at the ex- clusive desire of the Kaiser, who battle" " so the German wireless message informs us.
