Harvey, the editor of the North American Review, was the finder of Mr. Wilson before the last presidential election. True there was a flurry, or a misunderstanding between the discoverer and his friend later, but it was removed and Col. Harvey helped to elect his man. Now the colonel is supporting Mr. Hughes for the plesidency, and his explanation is given in the course of an article, thus: "No longer can an American stand erect before any tribunal in the world, as Paul stood before Pilate, and declare with pride and confidence his citizenship. Not only has the protection of the flag been officially withdrawn from those ' who have crossed the border line, but) the flag itself has been wantonly desecrated over and over again with- urring the :swift retribution "which invariably, bitherto, from, the beginning of the republic, has been visited upon offenders." It is easy to surmise what will happen to Wil- son when men like Col. Harvey turn against him. Col. Harvey would, or dinarily, be the last man to abandon him, and the desertion appears to be complete, The scarcity of leather and the cost of boots has been explained.

IAIN FRUIT FOR THE SOLDIERS Last year the Canadian Club of Hamilton sent out circulars to the Canadian Clubs of other cities, sug- gesting that as much fruit as pos- sible-be put up and sent abroad for the use of soldiers in hospitals. It was & popular movement in Hamilton hocause the city is convenient to the Niagara fruit district." and it was swelled by the generous contributions Of the fruit men, Practically the friends of the soldiers had only to put up the fruit, and the glass manu- facturers 'made their contribution in glass jars at figures far below the cost. This year the movement is again on foot, and the Whig reads what has been done in St. Catharinés with regard, to it. The mayor and other mombers 'of the council have appeal- ed to the people to put up 30,000 Jars of peaches and with most sur- pristag results, Already, through the efforts of the Red Cross Society and its allies, half the quantity has been secured, and it is expected that in & week hence the projectors of the scheme will have achieved their dim. peaches, or canned fruit of "soldiers, appeals to the citizens, and the rally in the west hay been & great success.

The attack of the German sub- marine, U-53, alone or in conjunction with other submarines, constituting a fleet, upon several freighters and one passenger ship, with very disas- trous effects, will afford Germany a great deal of exultation. man naval sérvicy has-been hitherto depressingly futile. It has been so disappointing that the chancellor, in addressing the Reichstag recently, apologized for its failures. He left] the impression that the Submarine warfare, for a purpose,. had been restricted, but it would be proseciit- ed in the future with more vigor and regardless of consequences. The U-563's brilliant performance will give new life to the Germanic cause and a verification to the chancellor's pledge. The Deutchland, which crossed and re-crossed the ocean successful- ly, carrying valuable cargoes and es- caping the <British warships that were on the lookout for her, estab- lished two things: (1) That ocean certain circumstances, these circum- stances being, of course, affected by the flags which the submarines car- ried, and (2), that if: the British blockade could not be completed British trade would be imperiled. The new development of the war means the protection of trade by convoys, and perhaps all' the way across the ocean since submarines have lately been turning up in mid- ocean and challenging passing ves- sels. The Allies will take care of their own, and they are quite competent to do it. The neutrals will be the greater sufferers, and among the greatest will be the United States. It is claimed of the U-53 that she sailed from Wilhelmshaven to New- port in seventeen days, that she was a fully equipped man-of-war, carry- ing the German flag, and lacked for nothing in the way of food or fuel It will remain for the Allies to as- certain, if they can, the existence of a supply station or base in the At- lantic. It will be hard to satisfy anyone who knows anything amout the capacity of the submarin:s that they have stores sufficient for five or six weeks, and for, trips of many thousands of miles. The United States government has been show- ing these German craft many cour- tesies, and it will be very unfortun- ate.. It will be very unfortunate if Germany has requited them with further treachery. Leaving aside this question for the present, as one which is not pertinent, the damgers of the Atlantic have been increased for American shipping, and the American navy will be forced to pro- tect it. This casts upon the govern- ment the responsibility which the Wilson administration has invoked by its irresolute and compromising policy. EDITORIAL NOTES. What Canada wants, and quickly, is a navy of its own. In view of the submarine menace it cannot avoid this responsibility any longer. The U-63's feat on the American side of the Atlantic means more to the American than the British trade. Britain can protect her trade upon the ocean. Can America protect her interests there? Consignments of American pro- ducts, from the fArm and the work- ship, for - England, can be sent through Canada. No danger of German" fubmarines lurking off the Canadian coast. Had the Laurier naval act been carried out Canada would to-day have its own ¢ruisers to protect its ship- ping. The German submarine me- nace has been transferred to this side of the Atlantic, and Canada's shipping is in danger. The paper which is being used by some of our high-class journals is the best evidence of the famine that is on.

THE FALL SKIRT The fall skirt is a neat garment which looks -a good deal like the spring skirt, but costs more, owing to the European war, which has caused a great scarcity of everything except campaign bunk. The Fall skirt was gotten up last February in the hesrt of Paris France, and sent vver here to be sold to women who do not care to look like any of their neighbors, To the dull and unpracticed eye of man it is hard to tell a new fall skirt of the 1917 model from the one his wife wore twice in the early spring and discarded after making the hor- rifying, discovery that it was three- quarters of an inch too long to be strictly au fait. There is nothing more depressing than a new skirt which is only 75 per cent. au fait and folds carelessly about both ankles instead of tilting back rak- ishly blinding the innocent by- stander in both eyes. ; Great care has been taken, accord- ing to the fashion periodicals, to make the fall skirt so long that it can be worn to church with perfect propriety. By actual measurement it will reach tp the top of a twelve- inch boot, which will prevent any- body from tripping on it. In fact it is estimated that it is going to be harder to trip over ene of the new fall skirts than it is to escape the strident voice of the cafe piano player.

SAYS HOT WATER WASHES POISONS | FROM THE LIVER {' Everyone should drink hot water with phosphate In Jt, before breakfast, To feel as fine as the proverbial | fiddle, we must keep the liver washed | clean, almost every morning, to pre- | vent its sponge-like pores from clog- ging with indigestible material, sour bile and poisonous toxins, says a noted physician. If you get headaches, it's your liver. If you catch cold easily, it's your liver. If you wake up with t bad taste, furred tongue, nasty breath | or stomach becomes rancid, it's your liver. Sallow skin, muddy complex- ion, watery eyes all denote liver un- sleanliness. Your liver is the most! important, also the most abused and | neglected organ of the body. Few | know its function or how to release | the dammed-up body waste, bile and toxins. Most folks resort to violent calomel, which is a dangerous, sali- vating chefMcal which can only be used occasionally because it accumu- lates in the tissues, also attacks the bones, Every man and woman, sick or well, should drink each morning be- fore breakfast, a glass of hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phos- phate in it, to wash from the liver and bowels the previous day's in- digestible material, the- poisons, sour bile and toxins; thus cleansing, sweetening and freshening the entire alimentary canal before putting more food into the stomach.
