YEAR. ! ! DESERVING OF CONSIDERATION. | The Education Department of the | states are said to! \ | seyeral American be quity sympathetic towards the pro- school regulations vel | | posal that the | relaxed considerably in the interest of A special appeal depart- | greater production. has been made to the state | ments to modify their regulations in | | favor of larger boys and young men | who are students of the high or se- | { condary schools. | The idea is that they will not be | punished when they go out before the | date on which the schools' close, for | I the summer vacations, and remain out | | for som days, or even weeks, beyond | the date on which they should return to school. The appeals are made by national and state committees, and they should have a powerful influence upon the schdbl commissioners. In Ontario it is understood that the trustees' section of the Education As- sociation, , which is in closest touch with public opinion, moved in this matter and sent a resolution to the VBeducation Department. No objection is offered, it is said, but something quite as embarrassing, namely, an indisposition to give the stude any | concession in the" standing which | 'they cannot earn ordinarliy without! examinations. A Every school board in the province Bhould petition the government to grant the high school scholars the consideration they deserve, in view of the patriotic service in which they de- sire to engage in behalf of greater production. THE MILITIA ACT. The Board of Trade, in Kingston, endorses a resolution of the Board of | Trade in Montreal in favor of the Militia Act and its enforcement. It appears that the Montreal body acted at a critical time, when voluntary en- { listing had practically ceased, and | | there appeared to be no help for it but | to fall back on the Act which gave the ! | government that wants to use it very | large powers. | 'The regulations that affected the | home defense forces is a later develop- | | ment, aud is esteemed a failure be- | cause it, too, embraces the voluntary | feature. There is lacking the essen- tial element of compulsion, and there is no reason why it should not be re- sorted to under the circumstances. There are many who cannot serve with the Overseas' Forces. They are not physically endowed for this pur- pose. But they could serve at home in the many capacities for which the military are adaptable, and when they will not volunteer for this service they should be conscripted. In an emergency suchas that which has arisen in Canada, when labor is soafce and recruiting drags, there should be such a medium as England passesses of calling men to the colors. Incidentally it gives them the chance to show cause why they should be ex- empted from military duty. The Mili- tia Act, enforced as it_should be by a stronger government, would accom- plish results which are not to be ex- TRY 5c. Poet Cigar 5c Look for Silk Thread on Tip of Each Cigar. S.

These are the helpless waifs {of parents who were. the victims of the German invading, ghordes. The adoptign of partial reciprocity by the federal government, means several things for the farmers of the west, namely, greater population, higher land values, and probably an election. The Belgians have no occasion to mourn over the death of Von Bissing, the German military governor. He was a stern and relentless autoerat. The friends of Edith Cavell will never forget him.

The glorious record of the Kingston men will bear review again and again for the inspiration which it affords. The socialists of Russia are not threatening its government. The Em- pire's dangers lie, according to Dr. Sarolea, in three things: An absence of national 'spirit, a rotten civil ser- vice, and a plotting 8f the remaining Romanoff elem The democracy will eventually, hover triumph. Miss Laura Hughes, said to be a niece 'of SirSam Hughes, and a plat- form orator, favors the purchase of American goods, so that the duty may be a contributien to the cost of the war.. She hal © heen apparently "truckling to the Yankees," and to an unlimited extent. psn In 1911 the conservatives declared that Canada could uot buila a navy. It would take years in which to estab- lish shipyards for the purpose. Had the Laurier policy prevailed Canada would now have her ships for de- fence purposes, and Uncle Sam's ships would not be Projectiss 4 the Canadian frontier. A Syracuse paper favors the ship- ment of German prisoners to America to be employed, under guard, of course, in the cultivation of the land. It is not a very popular proposal. By the way, what are the Huns that were removed from Fort Henry doing? Are they earning the bread they eat with the sweat of their brows? The Belleville Intelligencer thinks that the other liberals will do as the late Sir Melvin Jones did in 1911, namely, withdraw from the party be- cause it advocated reciprocity. The pity is that Sir Melvin did not live long enough to say what he thought of the. present government, for ap- proving now of what it disapproved 'of six years ago, and--clambered in- to power.
