In this country it is a form or {apparent that the embargo upon Can- [fe cattle wis prompted by con- time, while, for others, such as hav- ing dirty markers, parking a car an inch of two too far from the side- walk, being behind the time allowed in securing new markers each year, prison terms are absurd. The whole afestion should be made, not one of |the number of offences, but of the degree of the offence, so that the road hog who regularly puts human [life in danger may be restrained, |and the motorist who infringes some {alight technicality of the law allow- ed to go with a nominal penalty. In either case the best interests of jus- tice would be served. THE CATTLE EMBARGO. The statement appearing in the | press and attributed to Lord Ernle, former: British minister of agricul- | ture, in which he hints at the cause | of the ban upon Canadian cattle, sheds mew light upon a subject that is of interest both to the cattle in- dustry in this country and to the con- Sumeérs in Britain. He etates that at the Imperial Conference in 1917, a resolution Was passed stating that cattle from Canada should be admit- ted as soon ae possible after the war. It was stated, however, that the "re- presentatives present could speak only for Britain and before reaching a final concluston would have to con sult their Irish colleagues." He adda: "A definite pledge, therefore, lies, if anywhere, in thé tesolution of the Imperial conference." 'The question naturafly arises: why was the embargo continued aftef the war and Canadian cattle compelled to bear the stigina of being infected with disease? From the further statements of Lord Ernie, it is quite siderations that suggest the existence bt a monopoly, The invention of the cuse that disease was prevalent among Canadian cattle rendering them unfit for food was malicious and mischevious. No matter upon what grounds the British authorities may see fit to restrict the importa- tion of beet cattle, there is no justi- fication for the sweeping assertion that Canadian cattle are unfit for food. Lord Ernle's hint about the interest of "Irish colleagues" is worthy of close scrutiny for it is Hkely to disclose the secret to the whole question, The beef cattle in- in Ireland, and hms & practical mon- opoly on the English markets, Large areas In south and west Ireland are devoted to the raising of beef cattle, and it is not at all improbable that the capital supporting this industry is at the bottom of the Canadian Cattle Embargo, They raise good cattle and no one can blame thers [to western Cinada from Scotland a 'his wife do for him, son," replied Pa. dustry is one of the most lucrative | it is not Holy Writ; it is not sacred, | you must own, like those famed | tables made of stone.

WHEN THEY DROVE THE HUNS No American Who Teok Part in the Capture of Berzy Will Ever Forget the Thrill. The fall of "the plateau seuth of Soissons and the thrust across the Chateau-Thierry road sealéd the fate of the great Marne salient. The lads of the Twenty-eighth infantry, First division, made this success possible by their grim tenacity in driving the Germans out of Berzy after being re- peatedly repulsed in their brave ef- forts to take the place. But, despite every effort, the grim walls of Berzy still loomed ahead be- yond the shell-potked strip of upland as the summer twilight faded from the sky. Through the night its guns, like those of a béleaguered fortress, con- thiued "te flame. In it Stood at bay the last German garrison of that "plateau south of Soissons," With the whole western front of the Marne salient pifined upen it, which had for so lofig held a black menace over Now and then there is a man who conceals & timid heart behind a long, drooping mustache and the genéral ap- pearance of a western sheriff of the days of Jesse James, but Gen.
