Visibly it tight- ens the physical encirclement of the ‘entral Powers. More than ever it suggests the similitude of a siege. The investment of Au- stria is almost complete. Threaten- ed from the Vistula to the Danube and thence to the Adriatic, her frontiers lie exposed to the moral no less than the military claims of {our Powers: Russia, Italy, Serbia. and now Roumania. Had her Gov- ernment been a true federation based on nationality, instead of a combination of two ruling races to keep down the rest, .the shock might have been withstood. But, save for the Hungarian spirit, lit- tle that is stable now meets the Allied arms till Silesia and Prus- sianism begin. And much that is extremely unstable confronts them on the outer corner of East- ern Europe. German diplomacy snatched at Balkan'aid in the beginning of the war, but has had. no time to assimilate its prey. Nov it slips from her grasp. Bul- garia, it is safe to say, is in no condition to hold against a com- bined assault from Salonica and the North. If Bulgaria goes, Tur- key goes. And with the disap- pearance of those outlying ram- parts the Austrian defensive sys- tem collapses. With that subtrac- tion again a great frbric of dreams comes to the ground. Most of the leading lines of German ambition centre in the Near East. A dwindling polity answers to a slowly but surely contrasting ma- terial surface. The day of conquest is 0v er. The whole Central Alliance is on a steadily weakening de- fensive, and when its more vulner- able part makes its inevitable physical surrender, the moral hold of Germany on Austria will fall too. Thus, if we .do not see the end of the war. we see what the end must be. 9+9§§§§§§§§¢§§§§§§+++§§§§§f The restqration of the three . dis Now we imagine the German honor, not world. security, not even answer to this contention to be safety for ourselves.

For our part, We unaffectedly reioice that the termination should come. by this Eastern route, for nothing is more likely to convince the. German peOple of the ambi- tious error of their rulers. The western extension of Germany was barred by the battle of the 31;..1‘118; and We doubt Whether since that event either Belgium, or a Belgian port, or an annexa- tion in Picardy, entered seriously into German calculations. In all nrobaLility Germany dreamed of an exhausted or divided West, leaving her free to construct and WNOOO” N§N”§§§§§§§§§ holtl her corridor to the East. That vision is now impossible. Neither her own allies nor the neutral World can build on it for a mo- ment: and the continuance of the European War to sustain it must -;lr0p clean out of her statesman- ship. It is not in her character to make that self-confession at once. and we must look to her to main- tain her Eastern and Western lines, and to contest with stub- bornness the Allied assaults on them. But so lon gas she holds them, fixed as they are on foreign mil. she exhibits to her peOple the Visage of an aggressive war, con- ducted without a reasonable chance of success. How long will they sustain such an enterprise? Germany’s rulers may exasperate the contest by outrage; that only loads the peace terms against her, and raises new moral barriers be- tween herself and the Allies. They can :onduct the game of ceaseless slaughter with dogged skill; but all its greater efforts are exhaust- ed. and a narrowing strategy and tactics only proclaim the fact that (“frermany struggles but cannot Win. To this conclusion her na- tional consciousness makes a con- tinually nearer approach. The German Socialist Party has now 'lefinitely decided that “the mo- ment has come for the German bobble openly and unlimitedly to lirotest against plans of conquest." We may be sure that this able and powerful organization does not move on unprepared ground. It is no mere art of Allied. journalism to suggest that the German people Want peace. It is the most unaf- fected and acknowledged bit of national psychology in Europe. “Why. then. go on with the war?” E1 rope wants peace. The neutrals Want peace. The warring nations want peace. The armies want peace, and. would welcome it to- morrow. If Germany’s will is not conquered, her intelligence must be reaching the point of discern- ment that the war must be enter- ed in her life-book as a profitless adventure, and that peace is not only her people’s desire, but her urgent, and indeed her unique in- T:- ffst and. hope. ‘ '- The Beginning of the End PAGE TWO. The Nation, London.)~ ; Let us at the same time be on 'guard against the opposite as- sumption of so rearranging Europe that every ambition of every member of the Entente will be gratified at the expense of every imember of the Central Alliance. :It seems to us that our statesmen have taken solemn and explicit pledges against such a policy, and have engaged the sympathies of neutrals, and especially of Am- Lerica, on the ground. that they put ‘the general interests of the civil- ized order above their own. If this policy is reversed in the flush of military success, We may indeed achieve our immediate end of ma- terial Victory, but We are prepar- ing a complete moral defeat. Let possessed nationalitiesâ€"Belgium, Serbia, Montenegroâ€"coupled with full reparation for their wrongs. and for the equal injuries to France, is interwoven with the Allies’ whole conception of the war, and is essential to its most generous aims. If our whole con- tention is bad, if the war is only a dog-fight, an illustration of the inate madness and badness of mankind, or. let us say. its iner- adicable pugnacity and savage vagueness of mind, we had better finish it to-morrow. But we can hardly surrender our conception of right. so long as we hold it, save in the presence of acknowledged and irremediable defeat. The acknowledgement of defeat must clearly come from Germany at whose door these aggressions lie. and it follows that it can only come as the result of a breaking of her will in obedience to an in- contestably superior force. So far as we can define a situation of this kind. in terms of a society that once existed and can never be revived, we should say that there is no room in Europe for neo- Roman Imperialismâ€"that is, for a single dominating will, asserting a Teutonic predominance, to which none of the other fully constituted worldsâ€"the Slay world, the Latin world. the Anglo-Saxon worldâ€" will submit. If it is suggested that we desire to substitute for such a hegemony the dominant will of the Entente, We deny it. There is really no such will. It could not be defined, or the constituent parts of it reconciled with each other. We equally demur to the proposi- tion that we would. recur to the Balance of Power as the only al- ternative to the uncontested, su- periority of one European group. That is really to assert the anti- Ally doctrine of the power of the great nations to :dispose of the small. We say that four policy is that of the Concert, so far as it is attainable and, can be assured by new forms of common, arranged European action. And, we will suggest a following proposition. It is well for the future peace of Europe to aim at a negotiated peace. If Germanyâ€"European Ger- manyâ€"will come in to any kind of association, she ought to be given the chance of doing so. If she re- fuses, the most ardent pacifist will be justified; in framing the League of Peace without her. Ger- many’s interior force is great: it is useless to look to the war as a :means of destroying it. Neither ;can an after-war Europe permit it ’to disintegrate her. If such a contest. on such a scale, is pursued to the “last man and the last shilling.” a world so devoted merely proclaims its own ruin. Statesmanship must therefore limit it. But we {dp not believe that the quality of European states- manship is adequate to its work without the intervention of aforce which has reached. a complexity and pOWer corresponding to the need for it. That force is public opinion. Its direction is not good. Its operation is most confused. But it is educable. It is the only direct correspondence between those who made the war and those who suffer by it, and if it proves inadequate or ill-guided, the peace will be short and, evil. We hope, therefore, to see it direct itself, as soon as the true character of this terrible problem emerges, to the real difficulty, which is the preâ€" vention of war. We shall be urged to take a short cut to this end, first, by destroying the Central Powers, and, secondly, by elimin- ating them from the economic comity of Europe. Even if that were a possible military policy, attainable ‘by staggering loss, we believe it to be politically a “No thoroughfare.” Pursue it, and. we shall indeed meet impoverishment and death on the road. But not honor, not world. security, not even safety for ourselves. Those pur- poses are the fruits of goodwill and good sense, and. let us add, of the moderation of British states- manship. on a new international order: a settlement of territory, based on national needs and aspirations, but limited in scope. If honor points this way, the larger guide- posts of European history give the same direction. The organ which brought modern Europe into existence was largely fashion- ed ii. the Congress of Vienna. That body had before it three or four manageable questions, such as Poland and Saxony. Yet their set- tlement all but destroyed the con- cord of the anti-Napoleonic Pow- ers. and involved Europe in a second great War. How does this measured. task compare with the complexity of the approaching settlement, which practically in- volves the apportionment of five Continents, may bring about the disruption of two Empires. and is in the hands of a group of eleven nations on one hand. and four on the other? us therefore be prudentâ€"2153" 1â€"1â€"1110 at two things: a settlement of principle, wide in scope. and based A large tire maker ran a contest " t-I'::=.t.i‘ieu:.., giving large prizes for i213 greatest mileage attained with its tires. The lessons to be learned from this contest ought to be valuable. Minis: of the winners of the first prizes were asked how they had attained such high tire mileages. and nearly every one put proper inflation in the first place. They made it a point while the contest was going on at least to test the tire pressure each day before doing any driving. Several of them put as the second most im- portant point the careful driving so possible. Proper use of the brakes so as to avoid the very detrimental sliding and grinding of the rubber on pavements, avoidance of sharp stones and street car tracks as much as possible and the taking of bumps as slowly as possible all are consider- ations coming under this head. The winner of the contest, who had well over 12,000 miles usage out of the tires that brought him the money, also was very careful to go over the tires each day and to fill any cuts of any pound. When the sow burrows a deep, hard-packed nest the pigs frequently get caught and crushed. She is less likely to do this if she is well shel- tered and out of the cold. While the new-born pigs do not need any such care as lambs, they are more sensitive than many people think, and unex- plainable deaths later are often due to chilling in the critical first hours. If the weather is cold, put them in a basket lined with straw or chaff, with a blanket over the top, but leave a space for air, as they smother easily. After half an hour’s warming let them nurse. If it is very cold it is best to put them in the basket for another hour or so before leaving them with the mother. To guard against milk fever and to help prevent the pigs from scouring, feed the sow lightly for :24 hours after farrowing. First give a good drink of water, lukewarm, but never cold, then a light bran mash. Be a little more generous each day up to the fifth, after which it is safe to feed abundantly. The brown rot of peaches, plums and cherries annually causes great loss to Ontario fruit growers. For peaches, spray with self-boiled lime- sulphur about one month after the fruit has set. If the trees have been well pruned earlier in the year, so as to admit plenty of sunshine and a free circulation of air, the disease is much easier controlled on both plums and cherries, as well as peach- es, as it thrives most in a close, humid atmosphere. If rot starts to develop as the fruit of either plums or cher- ries is ripening, spray with ammoniac- al copper carbonate (copper carbon- ate, five ounces; ammonia, three pints; Water, forty-five gallons). Go through the orchard after the fruit is all harvested, pick or knock all dis- eased fruit from the trees and bury or plough under. These “mummy” fruits, if allowed to hang on the trees, serve to carry the disease over till the following season.

Wm 'Wa ._.A n d The need of foresters is, according to a writer in the Canadian Forestry Journal, good and reliable topo- graphical maps. There are very few such maps covering forested areas in Canada. Given good trails and the construction of artificial water supply where natural supply failsâ€" Which is not a very diflicult or serious matterâ€" then mechanical apparatus would be a godsend to the men in the field. I have always thought that the present policy is very haphazard in regard to “fighting” forest fire. There are all kinds of schemes for discover- ing fires, but they do not appear to have evolved many methods for ex- tinguishing them. A fire starts at a given point, the wind is in a given direction, and if a man has only got a map of the locality which is re- liable, he would soon then be able to have a general plan of campaign, cut and dried. Given the above data he can then make a fair guess in what direction the fire will run. Then he needs a trail by which to get there quickly.

But it has fallen to a Simcoe lady to be the first We have heard of that has given to the British War Office an invention that is de- signed. to protect life and proper- ty. This lady is Mrs. Ida Adams of Lefroy. After the war broke out and helpless English women and children were being murdered by German bombs. Mrs. Adams be- gan wondering if some protection could not be afforded buildings from these mid-air bombs. The more she thought of the idea the more convinced she became that. some means could be thought out. Finally her ideas took shape and in July of last year the idea was forwarded to the War Office in London. In due time word came. from the War Office, two letters in all being received, one of them signed personally by the late Lord Kitchener, the other was from the Director of Artillery. From these letters she was in- forn ed that her invention was one of the accepted plans out of 31,000 that had been submitted. What the nature of the invention or of its construction, Mrs. Adams was not prepared. to divulge: se- crecy being demanded by the Imperial authorities.
