Toronto News. Dr. Carman, one of the captains and kings of Methodism in Canada, has departed. Slight in body, but mighty in soul, he played a part 'in life that will be long remembered. Beginning his work as a teacher of mathematics, he was graduated to the less remunerative but more state- ly profession of a Chrisian minister. The power of a cold mathematical intellect joined to a warm emotional nature made him, almost in spite of himself, a leader of men. Of com- manding eloquence, fervent in per- Suasion, conclusive in reasoning, he preached effectively. But his -greatest competency was found when he presided over the ad- ministrative business of a great and growing church. As a Chairman he was implacable, yet kind, No speak- er wandered from the point while Dr. Carman was in the chair, yet his rebuke was tempered with courtesy. He was a dictator who was not dic- tatorial; a commander who was still a brother beloved. Dr. Carman knew Ontario for more than eighty years. He saw a pioneer settlement become a nation with a big promise for the future, and gifted with the true spirit of patriotism and sacrifice. No voice sounded more clearly than his against the dangers of material- ism, and that other danger of a Ger- manized intellectualism in religion and education. He was a good man, aman of energy and leading, a pro- phet in his generation. TO LEAVE LAKES FOR GOOD. Hundred and Twenty American Ships Go to Atlantic This Fall. At least 120 ship will leave the Great Lakes at the end of the pres- ent season of navigation, never to return. The ships will be comman- deered or purchased by the Govern- ment for the Atlantic Ocean service. The vessels so far selected for re- moval from the lakes total about 350,000 tons. 43 of the ships are small enough to pass through the Welland Canal -without alteration. 77 must be cut in locks, The tonnage now on the lakes totals about 2,700,000. The appropriation for purchase of lake boats is included in the budget of $1,134,500,000 submitted to the Secretary of the Treasury by the Shipping Board. Of this amount about 140 million dollars is intended to pay for lake boats. The vessels will not be returned to the lakes, because officials believe that, allowing for new vessels for lake service which can be built dur- | ing the war 350,000 tons can be spar- ed from the lake trade without ser- iously crippling the necessary trade. --Detroit News. two to pass the | NONE FOR FOR STATE "We need only one party in Do- minion politics for the next few years," declared Sir Robert Falconer, K.C.M.G., Persident of the Univer- sity of Toronto, in a statement issued at Ottawa the other day.' The party of unselfish, far-sighted patriots who with one mind and will intend to put a strong Government in power and keep it there as long as it gives us with clear direction and gives. us pure, party-free, competent and ef- fective leadership in these difficult days. Such government we may, I | believe, expect from the men whom Sir Robert Borden has called to his Cabinet. "The war has made things pos- sible which were impossible before, because vital matters are thronging in on our attention," Sir Robert con- tinued. "'A victorious decision for which we have so often hoped is ;again deferred. The confusion of | the world seems to increase, How will jour civilization emerge from | this chaos? Unless we win, our ordin- ary political issues are of small ac- count. Earnest people have no pa- tience with party concerns just now. The first resolve for us is that we must do all that in us lies to win the war. Though the day of victory seems to be far off, we still believe that it will come, but not without all the effort that the allies can put forth. How shall we Canadians come out of it? With honor as one peo- ple, our character steadfast, our re- sources economically used ?. Or dis- united, shamed at not having done our share to the very end, and with our efforts wasted ?° In self-respect we cannot hesitate," Sir Robert added that the host of difficulties before the Dominion can be solved properly only. by men not | distracted by the lesser problems of party. BRIPISH NAVY HAS INCREASED 71 PER CENT. In defending the British navy in the House of Commons, Sir Erie | Geddes, First Lord of the Admiralty, {reviewed its accomplishments in this }way, declaring that, unlike the enemy forces, its role was an offensive one, "During a recent month," he con- |tinued, "the mileage steamed by our 'battleships, cruisers and destroyers lalone amounted to one million ship's }miles in home waters, In addition jto this, the naval auxiliary forces |patrolled more than six million miles }in the same period and territory. |The displacement of the navy is 71 ; per cent. greater than in 1914, when }it was 2,400,000 tons. At the out- break of the war we had eighteen |mine-sweepers and auxiliary patrols, |to-day there are 3,866. The person- jnel of the fleet before the war was 146,000 to-day it is 390,000.

Successfill operation of the mach- inery placed throughout the country for the enforcement of the Military Service Act is reported from ail points. The rush of the men in the first class to be medically examined and to get into touch with the auth- orities began as soon as the medical boards were established and has con- tinued steadily ever since. Since the proclamation was issued on Oct. 13th, the men have been go- ing to the post offices in large num- bers to comply with its requirements. As was expected, a large number of men are seeking exemption. A comprehensive system of handling these exemption claims has been es. tablished and it is expected confid- ently that no trouble will be found in dealing with each case satisfactor- ily. The officials charged with put- ting the Act into operation--and, in this connection, the postmasters of the country are playing an important part--will be exceedingly busy until November 10th, the last day for ans- wering the call.

A good deal of indignation was ex- pressed by the officers when, a few retary of the Navy Daniéls issued an ch' : order forbidding the use of wine at} was very much appreciated by the|th € messes of officers in the United States navy. Quite 'recently Mr. Daniels has told'of an incident which was the main cause in leading him to issue the order.- A young officer had been driven out of the naval ser- and an uncle of the dismissed officer applied for reinstatement. -The uncle was told this was impossible, and thereupon the uncle told the naval secretary this story of the life of the disgrac- ed' officer. uncle, "a little shaver when his fath- er died, and he came into my home, and has always been to me as a son. I never even had so much as a glass of wine in my home, and when the boy left for Annapolis to enter the Naval Academy he Aid not know what the taste of gave him to the American navy pure hearted, unsullied, believing -- abso- lutely in 'the old-fashioned Quaker ideas in which he had been reared. In the seven years you have had him in the Navy you gave him wrong ideas about drinking. . You taught him that it was all right for-a gentle- men to have his toddy. You legal- ized the wine mess. You had a code that made a youth feel that he was narrow-minded if he turned down his glass at the table; but now that my boy has been ruined by you and your system, the Navy kicks him out, and puts a stigma on him." Every time a charge of drunken- ness against an officer came before Daniels after that he thought of this poor boy, and eventually he decided on his banish-the-liquor' order. LLOYD GEORGE ON PARTY POLITICS. "We have now reached the stage when the ordinary things of political talk sink into insignificance by the side of the. tremendous issues which are involved," says Lloyd George. "I often think of the things we quarrel- led about three, four, five, six years ago, and now I am amazed at the tremendous things we have in hand. The fate of millions of men and mil- lions of money hang in the balance, and I feel angry when I see people worrying about the little things of yesterday, and thinking those are the things that matter, and I say to these people: 'Are your eyes not open?' This is no time to pother." Read The Sun's advertisements.
