Eyery year s destroy far more forest than falls under the wood- man's wasteful and fatal axe. "The combination is working rapidly to. ward a national disaster. Forest fires come from small beginnings, and are for the most part unneces- sary and preventable: Once start- ed, no human power can stop them #8 long as there is unburned forest to fped upon The tremendous up- draught caused by the heat often carries burning brands long distances ahead, starting new centres from which destruction spreads afresh, Then it is that rain is the only sal- vation of the situation. And rain iis not to be counted upon in the late summer and early autumn, when fires prevail. The present price of lumber is ap- palling. The more forest fires we have the greater will be the price we shall pay for our homes, and they are costly beyond all reason, as it is. As every person must have the shel- ter of a home of some sort, in order to live in this rigorous climate, it be- comes every person's business to give the mater of forest fires personal heed and help. This can be done through the polls, so that, if the \ government is inert enough mot to 0 | move in this momenous matter, the people can exercise their will and have the remedy applied before it is too late. TRADING WITH GERMANY. In spite of the many declarations made in times of war, Great Britain has lost no time in getting back to business relations with Germany. The signing of the peace treaty and the making of a special treaty with France were both quickly ratified by the British Parliament, and the speculation a8 to the war time feeling of animosity to Ger- many, and the declarations of an energetic trade war against that country did not last very long. The British manufacturérs and business men were not slow in establishing trade relations with their former enemies, and in doing 80 they have fooled all those who were of the opinion that there would be a boy- cott of German goods and business after the war. Leading in this movement to re- sume trade relations with Germany is the British board of trade, which, in an announcement made receatly, lays great stress upon the necessity of developing export trade to the greatest possible extent. This an- nouncement states that "it is very desirable that British traders should at once make every effort secure the proper footing in Central Eu- rope." . . This decision has no doubt been arrived at because of the dis- position of some of Britain's allies to at once open up trade relation- ships with: their former enemies. The very fact of exporting British goods to Germany is not enough to cause any unfavorable comment or any uneasiness. fact that Germany cannot pay for these goods in cash. She has nei ther gold nor securitics with which to pay for imported goods. She must therefore pay for them, if they are to be paid for at all, by manu- factured goods. Thus the doors of Britain must be once again opened wide to goods made in Germany. The sale of German gnods will again be a prominent feature im British business life. immediately accept for sale goods manufactured in enemy countries. Of course, there is one way in| which the sale of German goods can be limited to its smallest possible extent. Neither the government nor the merchants can compel the people to buy or use German goods, nor to patronize stores who sell them, Of course, it is practically certain that trade must eventually be in full swing with Germany and the other countries, but we believe that down But it is a known }~ This is a feature which is regrettable, for it is hardly | in keeping with the policies of the| British merchants during the war to} SMOKE STOPS NAVIGATION, .

If so, they are engaged in the very unwise occupation of cutting their own throats. Their action is to be com- mended, however, if for no othef reason than that 'it is calculated to compel Canadians to do their shop- ping at home. To Restore Exchange. (Toronto Star) The more wheat Canada grows the more she develops the agricultural resources, the more her industries expand and the greater the output of hier mines the sooner she will cease to depend upon imported goods, and the larger will be the surplus of her own to expert.
