This is the strongest argument preciated by everyone. nents, while 'condemning the in- --humanity of the German submarine | warfare to the utmost, do not think | Previous. that those past horrors should he a determining factor. They also point out the enormous effect on tha war occasioned by the German submarine campaign, us compared with the actual cost of life It is generally granted that the Germans failed in their plan to win the war by sub- marines only because they could not bring them into service in sufficient nombers; at their best, the average number of Germans actually fighting atl sea in submarines was about 1,000 officers and men, and there ware lit- erally hundreds of thousands oppos- ed to them; the number of men in Is: engaged comtinuohsly ively in strictly anti- submarine work outnumbered the German submarine personnel many- fold Fixact are not yet available, but estimates of the actual in of the German '"un- restricted" warfare are between 10, (00 and 15,000 the best figures give about 12,000. Many single day's operations on land cost more lives than that and with infinitesimal re- sults compared with the effect of the submarines. Those not in concurrence with the abolitionists think that the factor of possibie mercilessness of submarine statistics cost lives warfare should not be separated from - bombing from the air and mines. As for the latter, the 'parallel seems closest. Only the absolutely ruthless submarine compares with the auto- matic mine which knows no differ- ence between the bottoms of battle. chips, hospital ships and passenger ships filled with women and children. That due attention must be given this point is shown by actual losses returns; the .Josses of British mer- chant ships during the war was by: Submarines 5,739,000 tons Mines 6,377,000 tons A second argument given emphatl- | cally in favor of abelition is that sub- i marines when restricted to their legi- timate use of torpedoing the man- of-war of their enemy are hot effec tive---as shown by the small losses | of Allied surface warships caused by them in the last" war. Those favor- ing retention point out the fact---as shewn by captured instructions that the objective given German sub- * marines--after there was a sizeable ton~ | nage, because they estimated the re- | unstinted measure till our thres-pint force of them---was merchant sults to be thus attained would soon est win the war for them. It is point- ed out that, with the exception of the abortive attempt of iast Novem ber for which their submarines only went to sea; the Germans never planned to Have a fleet action and that during the encounters that did { just as liable to "0 sour," just: as occur only casual Gerinan submarines participated. Submarine advocates | therefore argue that the war furnishe | ed ro data in the way of results in However, it appears that of the 134 surface warships which the British navy lost during the war by enemy | action 62 were sunk by torpedoes fm German submarines. The argument is made that despite all hydroplane and kindred inven-' tions of a long period during which the best inventive talent of several nations worked unger high pressure, the submarine is still the only long- radius vessel which, singly and un- supported, can go well nigh any- where and that, entirely discounting its 'main purposes of torpedoing en- emy warships, as a 'matter of coast defence, in fleet action or otherwise, its unique defensive quality makes it a naval weapon of utmost useful- ness; at the worst, it is never a lia- bility that has to be supported and protected. That the big ship still rules the ocean seems to be generally aec- cepted. . How long it will endure is the question. The war has brought no basic advancement to big ships, only a continuance of increase size, speed and also expense, whi for single units has become tremen- dous. No one can begin to Euess what advance the next decade or two will see in other weapons, now pro- perly classed as auxiliary, But this much seems clear: If there can be . akyed no limitation in character or '8128 of naval armament, any nation which holds blindly to one line and falls to note development along oth- ers will be in ultimate danger from some other nation which does. . At first the practicability of abol- ishing submarines seemed high, for the reason that it is purely a war machine only, has no place in com- merce or sport and would be diffi- cult to conceal if possessed in readi- ness for 'war. There is of late, bow- ever, more doubts as to this practic- ability on the part of those who are keenest to outlaw {hem and evidences of fear of failure to"enforce the pro- | hibition and consequent comparative | detriment of our national defence. While the leaders of those nations ' having the strongest' shown a disposition to agree to gen- eral abolition of sbumarines, and destruction of those built, it has gone no farther than that; other nations state that, having weaker navies, the submarine is most important to them, support the arguments for reiention and even frankly state that they can- net comcur, : ; ba -------------- ; Three Years for Woman. 1 SL Catharines, Oct 1.--Hannah | on a charge of arson, was sentenced 10 three years in peni- tentiary.

One of the Influences on High Cost of Living. Of the hundreds of thousands who | have hoped fof and wished for and waited for a drop in the high cost of living since 11, 1918, how many have ever given a thought to. the other side of the question? The farmer who takes a dozen €Egs to market and receives 50c for them would have to bear the winged | flight of the fifteen coppers between the fifty cénts he receives and the cents the eonsumer November Suppose the farmer takes two hun- | dred dozens of eggs to market and | loses fifteen cents per dozen on them. inte | He is out just thirty dollars Figure Notwith- the same way on butter. of. the | one . reads being made.

And this is aside from all question of whether he is being properly paid for his butter at ither price. { The farmer would stand to lose on ! pork, on beef, and on fowl. He would | lose also on milk and on breadstuffs. And it remains for the purchasers of the country to wake up to the fact that, as a body, the farmers are unit- ed to stand against a reduction of food prices. © The United Farmers' organizations all over the country are united to the last man and woaian ta get every last cent for every last product of the farm. They are being backed up in their resolution to stand firm by the Dom- inion Department of Agriculture. Dr. Grisdale, of the department, told a group of farmers at a public meeting the other day that they need not fear the slightest reduction In the cost of any one commodity named. "Take your milk alone," he said. "Australia and New Zealand need the cheege that vou can kupply. And along with milk for cheese goes milk | for the condensed milk for which Canada is getting a name "The Australians and the British want your butter; the British enjoy your bacon and will not accept the American product, In any of these things you ean outbid both Holland and Denmark." Then, touching a more subtle | chord, Henry Wade told the audience how the public could be educated in| the use of these commodities by ju- dicious advertising. H® did not say, | but it was ebvious. If the farmer | cannet supply the man for the ad- | vertising campaign he is ready, a big | card up some executive officer's sleeve | when the psychological moment shall | have arrived. | When the papers and magazines | shall appear with half-page and tull- | page advertisements upon the lines | of some of the health focds and | continued with the same enterprising | pertinacity the public can take it for + granted that a rise in the price of these commodities is due. ] The milk that we used to buy forty | years ago for four cents per quart, | "landing by some one's kitchen table | and watching the quart poured with | pail was nearly full, is going to be | the per quart, i It will first be advertised in a full | Page of the daily papers, with a table of its censtituents set forth.

Capt. E. A. Baker, M.C., Croix de | Guerre, of Ottawa, blind soldier re- | presentative of the Soldiers' Civil | * Re-establishment, who has recently returned from England, reports that | there are now forty Canadian men in {raining at St. Dunstan's Hostel, the | last of whom will be through train- ing and ready to return to Canada | In the fall of 1920. From 15 to 18 | blind Canadians who have been re- Arained in St. Dunstan's will remain in England. A permanent civilian Department of After Care has been established in connection with St. Dunstan's, whieh provides assistance for the blind graduates in every part of the country, Scotland and Ireland being included in the scheme. Technical and social visitors visit the men and keep them in touch with up-to-date methods and markets, As po 8 man graduates from the school and chooses his district he is | allotted to the care of the Alter Care branch in that district, whose duty is to offer him every help and en- Couragement. If a craftsman, his work is advertised in the local paper, The department also gurchases all Taw materials for graduates, and when production overruns local sales finds new markets for his work. It is Capt. Baker's intention to plan a somewhat similar plan for care of the Canadian blind, with due regard to the difference in numbers and conditions on this side. The pum- ber of blind who have been trained 's up to date is 1,400.
