The farm wood Jot is at last com- ing into its own. Happy Indeed is the farmer who 'has a wood lot to fall back upon. Forty trang of German wounded passing through Belgium each day is a grim reminder of the power of the Allied resistance. The spirit of Nelson = still per- vades the British navy. The attack on Zeébrugge was fworthy of the best traditions of the country's naval sérviee. Queen's contribution to the war hag been a splendid one, 1,157 men having enlisted. All the Canadian universities have established re- cords they may well'be proud of. The Germans have put one over on Luther Burbank, says the Hick- ory, N.C., 'Record, for they handed the Russians a perfectly good olive branch bearing full; grown lemons, Despitehes from Switzerland in- digate that Germany is beginning to despair becauge of the lack of suc- cess of the U-boat campaign. The undersea menace is being greatly curtadld, if not overcome, by the Allfes. Civilization, under a united com- 'mand, confronts military autocracy on the western front. All the arm- fes of democracy----Britigh, French, American, Belgian, Italian, Portu- guese--are now under the conimand of Europe's greatest strategist, General Foch. ' A. B. Klugh, professor of biology of Queen's University, says the most effective method of fighting the tus- sock moth, which now threatens our shade trees, is to remove the egg masses from the trees, which should be done at once, as the caterpillars will begin to hftch about the end of next nienth. The" British raid on Zeebrugge seems to have ben a very success- ful one. Admiral Beattly is not dis posed to give the em any reat, as 'witness the recent operations in the Cattegat, off Heligoland and now 'on the ocvupied Belgian coast.

Ex-Preniier Asquith. may not have possessed the driving force and the magnetic qualities demanded of a national leader in days of greai stress, but: he does possess, in marked degree, the ability to inter- pret the thought and the aspiration of the British peoples, such as few other: leaders show. His ripe schol- arship, his broad' outlook 'and his rare faculty of expressing his ideas in clever and convincing phrases, make his every utterance an arrest- ing and yppealing one. One of the widest quoted statements of any Allied leadér was that pronounced by Mr. Asquith whens in the early 's onthe war, he said: "We shall never shbattio the sword until Belgium recovers in full measure all, and more than ail, that she has sacrificed, until France is adeguately secured against the menace of aggression, until the rights of the smaller nationalities of Europe are placed upon an unassail- able foundation, and until the miii- tary domination of Prussia is wholly and finally destroyed." That constituted a splendid sum- mary of the objects for which the British Empire was fighting. Mr. Asquith has recenily stated the case in more detailed but no less con- vinoing form. In addressing the Annual Council of the Women's Liberal Federation in london, he declared that: "We were not fight- ing for annexation and aggrandize- ment, and what was called the de- velopment: of Tmperialism, but for maintaining the equal rights of great and small peoples, of restoring what has been wrongfully takea away, of providing, so far as might he possible, reparation for what has been done--although, alas, much could not be repaired---and in mak- ing good unparalleled injury and damage that has been done. And above all, and beyond all, victory, a8 a means tq an end and not an end itself, as the avenue and the road--and the only avenue and the only road----by which the peace of 'the world will be placed beyond jeopardy of the ambitions and rival ry of selfish mischief-making inter- ests and: forces, and become the common ghject and the common in- terest of all the people of the civilized world. It is our duty {to ourselves, it is our duty to our Al- duty te the entire world, and it is our duty no less to the people--T say nothing of the governments-->but to the peoples of the powers against whom we are beyond dispute that those things, and those only, are the purposes that brought three years of unparalleled striin and stress, "suffering and sacrifice, will keep us at war. We, all of us, the womef of the country as well (as the men, are anxious for peace-- |} 5 but none of us Is disposed for a mo- |} mest to purchase that peace at the} Beico of aekifics.
