The Enemy of Mankind. From the New York World. The course of the German Govern- ment during the last Week cannot be i ‘ reconciled with any theory of political sanity. Wantonly and deliberately the Kaiser has plunged his sword into tho heart .of civilization, The whole world is paying the penalty of his madness, neutrals as well as belliger- ents. UpOn the American people alone. three thousand miles from the scene of the conflict, is levied a tribute of millions of dollars a day in disor- ganized commerce, disorganized indus- try and disorganized finance, and the final reckoning that must be paid for this maniacal nnslaught of German autocracy defies calculation. The hu- man imagination is staggered as it faces the inevitable consequences of this supreme achievement of paranoia. It is still possible to sympathize with the German people in the great tragedy that has overtaken them, with their backs to the wall fighting a more powerful coalition than ever Eapoleon faced. But there can be only one answer to the Kaiser’s challenge to Europe. German autocracy has made itself the enemy of mankind. Its-do struetion will be the emancipation of the German people themselves as well as the salvation of European re- publicanism. The Beginning of'ihe End. From the Western Clarion. I Let none be surprised if this Euro- pean holocaust proves’to be the “Water- 00 of class rule and its holy trinity.~ There is little news coming through as to the attitude of the cOmnion people in these war-threatened countries. One thing particularlynoticeablo is that in .Russia, Germany and France, and later in England, the first act in pre- paration for war has been to declare military rule in these countries. If there was no strong opposition to war this would be unnecessary. It may reasonably be inferred that this step has been taken in order to enable the brutal authorities, who are quite ready to shed the blood of the proletariat, to cope with any disposition‘upon the part of the proletariat to resist becoming the victims of such a worthy proceed- mg. It looks to us as though this Euro- pean affair is the beginning of the end. It is almost inconceivable that the aflair can be gone through with with- out overturning every throne in Eu- rope, for it is a well known fact that in nearly every country likely to be involved, there is not only a consider- able anti-militarist movement, but a Toronto Wholesale 9 there is no danger of a clash. f. . . _. .M...-..,....M_.--.H....,.~M.-m.~s.mmm.~_-u memes.mammam:nmauximuesaiiwzemfiéeemsmm” 2:1 «that - Grocers’ Guild would settle some old scores and prove a wholesome corrective for the d- W- Mr. H.

Japan‘s Entrance Into the Conflict From Rochester Union and Advertiser. Dispatches from \Vashington say that our government gives credit to the report that Japan has issued an ultimatum to Germany. That ulti- matum is, in the present circum- stances, practically a_declaration of war. It is too earlylto predict any- thing as to the importance of J apan's part in the conflict. It will un- doubtedly be great, and none may wonder'that the dispatches from W’ash- ington report the officials of our gov- ernment there as looking with con- siderable concern upon the action of Japan. It brings the war much closer to us, both because of our pos- sessions in the Far East and because of our interest in maintaining the neu- trality of China. While, however, there may arise out of the situation in the East some- thing that will vitally afi'ect our national life, it is not well to borrow trouble. We have assurances of friendship, many and apparently sin- cere, from both Japan and her ally, England. English interests in .the Far East do not seriously clash with our own. There has been friction there, because of our efforts to induce England to give up her forcing of opium upon the Chinese and because of the desire of the financiers of both countries to participate in the develop- ment of China. But these were tem- porary and more matters of business easily adjusted. and soon forgotten. Our differences with Japan are more serious and some of them have not yet been settled. Our exclusion of J apati- ese is once ~Japan’s desire to play a part of importance in China greater than we are willing she should is an- other. The desirability of the Philip- pines as a possession of Japan is a third. All these are of a nature that may, if the temper or ambitions of one or the other nation be not restrained, bring war. But with an eager desire on the, part of both to be just and fair, How- ever, the inatter is on the knees of the gods, and we must await with what patience we may the outcome of this ‘new development of the present dire conditions which rule the world. “Dead" Automobiles as» a Menace. A recent decision in the courts by Judge Scott, of a case tried before him at Lanark county court, is of interest l to all motor owners. Briefly the facts are that in June, 1913, a man named \Veir, hired a horse and buggy from a Carleton Place liveryman named Bailey, to take a drive in the country. On returning to town he passed a motor of a. Mr. Findlay, standing out- side the residence of Mr. Findlay. The car had been standing there £03 e over three hours and the lights wer out. The horse, which had previously met two cars in motion with theirlights burning and had taken ng; fl:lg.ht, took fright at the dead car undireaiie‘d and fell, breaking a leg. The liveryman sued the owner of the car and got judgment against the defendant for $178 and costs. The judge valued the horse at $165, and the plaintiff . + .~-â€"â€"___. FALL FAIRS.

During the electrical storm of Monday last a horse belonging to Mr. Wm. H. Junkin of Bethel was killed while stand- ing in the stable. Some hay and sheaf oats in the loft took fire, which was ex: tlnguished after some trouble. The loss will be nearly covered by insurance. Mr. George Martin also had a’ cow killed on his farm in Fenelon, and the light- ning struck Mr‘.‘ Isaac Hetherington's barn near the village, leaving a mu rk on one of the rafters, but doing no further damage. Mr. A. Tiers’ sawmill was also visited, the current striking one of the saws. Heavy rain fell while the storm was in progress, and with another sub- stantial shower at'night, will more than offset in benefit the damage done bv the ' lightning. o-- Civic Holiday August 26111.

If there be a strong revolutionary spirit in evidence, such circumstances are more than likely to crystallize it into, action with serious consequences to the precious ruling class that have forced the calamity. Though this war may be costly both in life and treasure, nothing but ulti- mate good can come out offlit. The war madness must run its course.
