The mystery of the battle of Jut- land slowly clears up. When it is understood that the British shot straight against the sides of the Ger- man ships, and that the Germans knew they would do this and armor- ed their ship sides heavily; when it is also pnderstood that the Germans shot in the air so that thefr shells would descend at.a steep angle on the British decks, and that the British knew they would do this but did not sufficiently armor their decks#—then | you have so g informa- tion. MAKB ‘EM ALL DO IT (Guelph Mercury) Almost any automobile driver can tell of narrow escapes he has had from crashing into horse-driven ve- hicles ahead, where the drivers of the latter have turned to the left without warning. If drivers of horses were obliged to signal, by holding out the left hand when they are going to turn to the left, Im the same way as auto- mobile drivers are required to do, it would act as a safeguard, and such a! lamentable accident as that which oc-| | curred when a street car crashed into} a hearse yesterday would be avoided. | The same rules precisely should ap-| ply to drivers of horses as to those of, | motor cars, in the regulation of traffic. TURKEY’ cae AND einen | (London kee ertiser.) In landing troops at Constantinople ' and patrolling the Bosphorus and the! Dardanelles with warships the | / lies are showing wisdom. Reliable | reports from Turkey indicate that the! ; Ottoman is dangerously sullen. He i has been compelled to surrender rich territory and told that he must cut , his military forces to.a mere handful.” | Arabia, Mesopotamia, Palestine, Syria ©! and Armenia have been taken from the Turk forever. The taking from him of these lands was only what he deserved, but it has made him vindic- | tice. This explains the massacre re- ported from Cilicia and the threaten- | ed trouble in Thrace. The world ex- | pects that the Allies will push to the | imit their declared intention of see- jing to it that Turkish cruelty and | beastliness shall cease. The occupa- tion of the Ottoman capital should go a long way towards convincing the Turk that he must submit to the Al- | » revenue from her Dominions, Colon- €' ened with dismemberment early that ly Regariied by some people. EXTREME NATIONAL . a richoles (Guelph Mercury) done this in their platform speeches and in their low-grade: journals, but these the British people can tolerate in view of the class and standing-of the offenders. It is a very different matter when a legislative chamber, like the American Senaté; is used by Irish partisans as a place in which to deliver speeches as falde as they are insulting to Great Britain. : f course there is the ‘question: “What are you going to do about:it?” Equally, of course, the British people can do nothing except maintain a dig- nified silence, as they are doing; but it is a curious manifestation of bad manners, for statesmen of a country; that spent so much money in doing so little in the European war, to rail at an ally that did so much on both land and sea in so many widefy scat- tered regions to bring the terrific struggle to a successful close. Ameri- cans should read, re-read, and jbear constantly in mind, thé charges. of efficiency so unanswerably made by Admiral Sims before a Senate Com- mittee, against the Naval Department of the American government during tié War, for its persistent and pease inefficiency. -It is absurdTy untrue and wadaat for any American politician or publicist to allege that Great Britain went into the war for her own advantage. No- bedy of any intelligence believes the accusation. #t is notorious that Great Britain does not derive any ies, or Protectorates; on the other hand, she spends on many of them, large amounts of capital for improve- ments. She has re-created Egypt and will do the same with Mesopotamia. The new Arab “King” of Syria wants her aid and wants to be one of the most curious of historic phenomena to note how, in. any time of general trouble, the disturbed and distressed world at large turns to her for coun- sel and relief. In connection with the recent ex- pressions of sympathy with the as- pirations of the Sinn Sein for an in- ' dependent “Irish Republic,” it is well to remember that Senator Lodge drew attention to what happened when the United States was threat- in the Civil War. The French Emperor, Louis Napoleon, suggested to the “British government the expediency of recognizing the political independence of the Southern Confederacy. This plea for a joint hostile movement a- gainst the United States elicited from Queen Victoria a refusal so emphatic that there never was any need to re- peat it, and this happened at a time when the British cotton spinners and weavers were suffering dire distress from the lack of raw cotton to keep them employed at their ordinary oc- cupations. Perhdps the time may come when American ‘statesmen’ ‘will become too civilized to act as they have been doing in their refer- ences to Irish quarrels, but there are not yet any signs of improvement. lied will, but if he resents it to the point of physical rebellion it will be necessary to handle him with iron | firmness. A TIME TO DISCRIMINATE | (Woodstock Review ) | Prof. Stephen Leacock comes to the defence of McGill University, which is now under a fire of criti- cism for its action in appointing Dr. ! Oetel, a man of German birth, to & position on the staff. Dr. Oertel’s father, it seems, was a German, but his mother was English, and, although he was born in Germany, he left that country when quite young and was brought up with English as his moth- er tongue. Dr. Oertel’s birth and parentage, Prof. Leacock points out, is not very different from that of the royal family of England. It is one of the tragedies of the war that innocent Germans, and peo- ple of German origin throughout the world, must suffer for the crimes of the. German militarists. There is FROM OTHER PAPERS suspicion attached to everything with a German name. The suspicion ™% not at aH unnatural; although in many WE'D SAY SO (Mail & Empire.)

There were great numbers of people of Ger- man origin in Great Britain, Canada and the United States, whose loyalty was above question. The time has come for intelligent discrimination between the guilty and the innocent. There were German crimes during the war that cannot be forgotten, but it is neither fair nor manly. to keep up a feud against the innocent. NECESSITIES OF LIFE (Woodstock Review.) Should newspapers be classified among the necessaries of life? The question came up before the Supreme Court of Canada in conrection with the newsprint question. One of the learned judges held that a newspaper was as necessary to a man as his pipe. Another thought it might be eve more so. A third was of the opinion that real necessaries were articles of food and clothing. It is largely a matter of opinion. -| we spend our money are not necessary and some of them ful.
