It might well read: “Tidy streets are a credit to your town. Do not deface the buildings 01‘ throw your wrappers. newspapers or other refuse on the streets." 0n a good many occasions in the past The Chronicle has drawn atâ€" tention to the practise of some of our t'lith‘IlS of throwing litter on the streets and advocated a cam- paign to overcome this thought.- lessness. We have suggested that proper waste receptables be pro- vided for the reception of this waste. which could then be burned or otherwise disposed of._ U: row floor."

C A O “ So far. any advice along this line has either been not wanted or appreciated. or else the powers that. be feel that the response on the part or the citizens would not iw worth the expense ‘Of a trial. Personally. we think street clean- liness. like a lot. of other things. is a matter of habit and education. and would like to see the scheme tried out. We have an idea that. like the Government‘s new "stop” street. regulation, the. public, would soon awake to its henetits. amt in a short time. unconsciously tall in line.

This is well and good. but. in all three cases. the whole object seem- ed to be to belittle the gigantic task that Britain had accomplished previous to the entry of the United States into the struggle and to prove to the citizens of "the land of the free and the noun; (M the brave" that had it not been for their little ['ncle Samuel the whole world would have been captured by Germany. Canadians have no fault to find with United States writers for glorifying the bravery of their troops in the field. They did good work. and have been *iven full credit for it. but. as nadians we would like to see them give at least a partially truthful account of what happened after the ‘United Sates entered the war in 1917.“ _ . “0‘ I‘L- \Val I Av- Maclean’s Magazine published the article from the pen of Major Drew to counteract the influence the unâ€" truthful reports in the United States magazines. which have a large circulation in Canada, might have on the minds of many Cana- dians who were but babes in arms 2.923 JU LY 22 Thursday, July 12, 1928 \VHH \\'().\' THE \\'-\R'.’ 'l‘l")\\'.\' 4”LL1£.»\.\'LI.\'ESS wrapperé '01" papers on the 31 when the war was at its height and might be misled by the articles into believing them an accurate account of what transpired. . Those who know the Cosmopoli- tan, and the Saturday Evening Post expect no xjustice. Both these journals are anti-British 'and have never failed on any occasion when.- opportunity presented itself, of knifing the British. They have for years been engaged in an anti- British campaign by the publica- tion of lying propaganda. The Cos- mopolitan is one of the Hearst publications. William Randolf Hearst, its owner, is an Irishman and hates “England” or Britain with all his heart. Previousto the entry of the United States into the war, he was considered pro-Ger- man. This charge was hardly juSt- iiied. however. Hearst cared noth- ing for Germany; his hope was that hated England would be whipped. With the entry of the States into the conflict he modified his editorâ€" ials somewhat because it was not safe to do otherwise, but he still hates England, and the publication of anything against the British Empire would be sweet to him. Hence, General Reilly’s article would find instant favor in the Hearst controlled Cosmopolitan. V'-_ . George Horace Lorimer is the editor of the Saturday Evening Post. Just who or what he is we are not positixe. He is not big enough to be included in any "W ho's \Vho” at our disposal, but anV one who cares to take the time to read his editorials will find that \Vhe1e Britain is concerned- he wastes no time. in telling; what he thinks of her.

[the garbled reports a1‘11‘1earing in these two publications should be 1"1__111ei\'1‘11l with open arms. The magazine "Liberty" has frankly admitted that, it, publishes this sort of stutl‘. not. that. the ediors believe. it. but heeause it, is. the sort. of stutf its anti-British readers tie- sire. The. article in Maclean's is a lengthy one of from sixteen to twenty columns, is written by a man who knows the late. world war. his tigures are taken from the official records. and in hisgvhole article there is not one attempt. to rob ljnited States troops of any glory they may have won, Major Drew's article should be read in every Public and High school in order that the slander of these l'nited States publications may be fully refuted and that. the state- ments that the British Empire was a slacker and did not prosecute the war in the same efficient manner as did the l’nited States may be thoroughly disproved.

This means only onet hino: that only too often the matron has to give up her own private room to make place for pa- tients, and on many other occas- ions even the office has had to ac- commodate those who are ill and confined within the 'walls of the in- stitution. The idea of the building of the addition has not been arrived at by any hasty decision. For the past three years or more the officials in charge have made attempts to solve the matter, but now the only solu- tion seems to be the providing or more accommodation, as the crowded condition, instead of being a mere passing epidemic of illness. shows plainly that the residents of! Durham and over a wide area ap-v preciate fully the benefits of the‘ local institution, with the conse- quent result that the surplus of patients is the rule rather than the exception. _ vâ€"â€"‘ v‘ 'v vâ€" F.

The Hospital Board has at. its dis- posal sufficient funds to finance $5.000 of this. They will need to borrow $10,000 to complete the work. While the town is being asked to guarantee the bonds for this $10,000. the Hospital Board is pledg- ed to pay the debentures as they fall due. The only reason for askâ€" ing the town to guarantee the bonds is that inthis manner the de- bentures can he floated at a lower rate of interest than if were they sold by the Hospital Board themsel- ves. Another objection that. might. be taken is that the debentures. are to be issued to run over a period of 30 years. This is something over which the Hospital Board or the Council has no control. Guaranteed municipal debentures are compelled by law to be issued to run over a 30â€"year period. The guaranteeing of the hospital bonds is advocated by some of the town’s leading business men and tinancmu'sand the ratepayers need have no tear in marking their halâ€" lots in favor of the town as a Whole getting behind our local hospital, that their debentures may be plac- ed on the market at a lower rate. of interest than if the Hospital Board had to do it alone.
