If the men higher up cannot be held responsible for the orders they gave to sink and to burn, it is the height of folly to seek justice through the conviction of petty officers or private soldiers in the German ranks. The Allies should demand that those who fave the orders Winder which such outrages were perpetrated should be brought to trial and adequately { punished for their heinous crimes.

We gave to our readers recently a synopsis of the report of a New York firm of engineers on the proposed Power development of the St. Law- rence in conjunction with the deep | waterway scheme, but in that report the question of transportation was dealt with in, detail. This question { has been the subject of close investi- tet | gation by the Canadian Deep Water: It there fs no other way to revive | ways and Power Association, which legitimate business, we might pass a | j4 engaged 'in promoting this great law prohibiting it. project. pressing for the deepening of the St. Lawrence from Lake Ontario to the sea. In the United States the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Tidewater Asso- ciation is actively promoting the scheme, and fourteen states are band. ed together in an organization to help put it through. These states are de- termined that the great inland em- pire shall be brought into direct com- mercial communication With the world and they regard the St. Law- rence route as their natural outlet. Hon, Irvine L, Lenroot, « United States semator from Wisconsin, one ot the leaders in the "Lakes-to- Ocean" campaign, voicing the need of the west for greater transportation facilities, says: "Our great railway systems running east and west from the Atlantic ocean to Chicago are actually suffering from too much business; that is, the volume of transportation: is much greater than existing facilities can properly take care of, and to provide adequate ad- ditional facilities would cost many hundreds of millions of dollars." He quotes James J. Hill, the great Ame erican road builder, as saying short- ly before his death that the railroads would need a billion dollars a year for several years to properly take care of their increasing business. In the Iast six years the volume of trans- portation has increased fortydeven per cent., while the railway facilities have increased but a little over one per cent. There was a break down of the roads in 1917 due to the conges- tion from Pittsburgh east, and espec- lally at the port of New York, repre- --c-- a cana ] Oh, very well.

A farmer hired a man to help him gather hig corn last season. Now, the farmer ¥ad a reputation for being an eflicient worker; but the hirad ran was not daunted by it, They started out side by side, the hired man be ing advised by the farmer to keep as cose to him as he could with the row he was gathering. Rut lo} the new worker after a few minutes of keep- ing 'up with the farmer passed him and soon was several feet ahead. Frantically the farmer pulled the ears from the stalks, but the new man kept gaining. Then all at once he heard the farmer shout. "Stop!" he yelled. {'Stop, if you want to work for me. I never yet let any man who worked for me get ahead of me." And because he wished to hold his Job the hired man "slowed up." bre Help Out.
