It is true these are hazardous occupations, occupations, and allowance must be made for that. But does the argument argument hold even for men and women in safer employments ? War itself does not prove it. In fact, it tends to prove the opposite. Green civilians do not fight as well as seasoned soldiers. They are more subject to panic. They are not well controlled. This history proves, though the superficial theorists theorists who rely on minute men for modern war ignore it. On the other hand, civilians, including men from the most sedentary occupations, are made good soldiers at a rate which would never be attained if a life of so-called peace had worked the havoc havoc upon their wills that militarists would have us believe in. 'And the reason seems not obscure. There is need enough in the daily lives of most of us for the persistent exercise exercise of will. There are doubt and care, pain and sorrow, ambition and necessity, a complex of many pressures to keep the will from atrophy. atrophy. War may key up the soul, but so often do the issues of peace, and after all the health of the will does not require excessive stimulapt. Mankind is very far as yet from a mastery of its destiny, and life for almost all men holds enough of struggle to keep us from getting very flabby. This is not to say that nations, peoples, classes, like individuals, individuals, do not sometimes degenerate degenerate morally and grow flabby,, cowardly, cowardly, indolent. But it is less likely that they are weak because they are not warlike than that they are not warlike because they are weak. Because Because virile peoples usually have been warriors it does not follow that warmaking made them virile. Unquestionably the necessity of fighting has developed in nations the warrior virtues, courage, determination, determination, conquest of pain, fidelity, patience, unity, obedience. But so also does the necessity of living, so far as most of the human race is concerned. Now throughout the country, and especially in our great cities, thousands thousands of men and women are undergoing undergoing the drastic discipline of cold and hunger and anxiety. They are at war with fate, with themselves, with the elements, with the conditions conditions of their man-made environment. environment. If war proper is necessary still further to brace them it is yet to be demonstrated. The darkness and destruction of war are tragical ly plain. . If in spite of them war is good, the militarist will have to prove it very clearly. Catarrh Cannot Be Cured with local applications, as they cannot cannot reach the seat of the disease.

Perhaps no single incident of the great war has awakened more interest interest in the two great English- speaking nations than the protest filed by the United States against the treatment of American shipping by the British fleet. The despatches also indicate that the protest is arousing keen interest interest across the waters, as the matter is being widely discussed in the public press. As indicating the deep interest involved, a special meeting of the British Cabinet has been called to consider the protest, and this morning's papers declare the Cabinet near to disruption in the debate on the subject. In this country among a certain class, there is a suspicion that Unfortunately Unfortunately amounts almost to a hope that this protest holds a promise promise of war between the two countries. countries. There is always quite a large class in every nation, who want to see trouble, but these howlers for revenge are generally the last to enlist when the trouble comes. They glory in trouble and contention, but they want somebody else to make it and to suffer the consequences. They are of the mole variety of heroes, ever ready to throw bricks when concealed from danger by the people surrounding them. Happily that class is not very strong in this country. Sober, thoughtful, sensible men and women do not invite distress and suffering that would be sure to result were this country involved in the European struggle. They are not influenced by false sentiments of so-called "National honor," arid the "rights of American sëamen," to the extent of wishing to see this country rush into a controversy that means great loss of life and property until, at least, that it has been clearly established that the "national honor" has been insulted, insulted, or our rights have been needlessly needlessly interfered with by other. On the contrary, America's protest protest to Great Britain was made in a spirit of friendship, and affords no NôtKing has ever equaled or compared with the medicinal fa tk in Soott'a Emulsion to arrest , the decline, invigorate the blood, str en gtheii the; nervous system, aid the appetite appetite and restore the courage of better Health. 8ooii T m EiOuHtion Is Pare mxtfm-buttt- /*cr fboir, ititwüt harmful drugs.

The treatment of neutral shipping shipping by belligerent nations is always a very delicate subject, and one requiring requiring the best minds, thoroughly trained in the field of international law and diplomacy, to adjust. It will be recalled that,troubles arose over shipping between this country and Great Britain during our great Civil War, arid which were not settled settled till long after the war had ceased. -, Though > differing somewhat in character from those cited in the protest to Great Britain this week, they held a genuine threat of war, a true causus bellus, for the reason that it was then openly charged that Great Britain was purposely aiding the Confederacy in its efforts to destroy destroy the shipping of the North. There is no such claim or contention involved in the present protest. The old controversy was peacefully settled, and the two countries have ever since remained on the most friendly terms. There is nothing now existing/ ifcÉl approach es -the seriousness of the Alabama claims and - the dispute that arose out of them. I have no doubt that this country will insist upon full reparation for any real damage done, to American shipping, caused by any unwarranted unwarranted interference of the British fleet ; and I am equally certain that British British justice will' gladly recompense for such damages, when duly established. established. ; It is quite inevitable that the fleet should wron^fûlly detain some shipping in its eagerness to find contraband goods and prevent them reaching the enemy, and to this end no doubt the wari fleet has been instructed instructed to detain and search vessels vessels suspected of lhaving contraband articles aboard,'or conditional contraband contraband intended for the enemy. It looks as though the real question question at issue is, regarding the treatment treatment of conditional contraband goods. That this should be treated exactly as absolute contraband and seized and conveyed to British ports for disposi|ion, works a very great hardship upon shippers. But even, so, I have np doubt that Great Britain is willingito co-operate with this country, and with every other country, in liyind strictly up to the laws of nations In their treatment of neutral shipping. The protest is only a business precedure between two friends, whq have been foremost foremost in preserving the peace of the World. That they bhould forget their friendship and undertake to settle their business. differences by the sword is too ridiculous for consideration. consideration. The period that has elapsed since the treaty of Ghent was signed 100 years ago on Christmas eve, has not been without acute crises in the relations relations of England and the United States. Had England pursued a policy of callous j greed, she might easily, have made! the preservation of the Unioir impossible in 1861-65 by intervention pn behalf of the Confederacy ; and again in 1898 she might- have formed a coalition with Spain. That these things were not done shows the stjrength of the bond between the twp nations. Many -have been the explanations of the vast volumes of A merican sympathy with England in the present great struggle, bilt the undying truth is that this sympatHy is rooted in the •organic: life of the two great English-speaking English-speaking nat ons, and by ; itself affords; a uniqujB „ and surpassing celebration of thd jCentury of peace ; just closed between the se ; n ations. ~ ; America knows| that the independence independence of t he new fed rid is d ue to- thé very/conditions: tbat made England, an - arbiter of Europe' s -destinies, and instinctively she knows that England's downfall would expose v this, entire, hemisphere to devastating devastating wars from which it might never recover. •: Why should the over-sea demo 1 cracies hate England when every true democracy on the earth finds lin England its prototype, its patron patron arid its strength ? And in turn, it may. be ,saidr with equal truth that England's : strength would not ; be what; it is tordày had she not the sympathy and. moral support of every true democracy on earth. That the rounding out of the century century of peace, between England and the United States finds the two countries nearer together in political political aspirations arid common sympathy sympathy is a tremendous fact, and portends portends the glory and triumph of both nations.

Often since the European war began began there must have flashed across the minds of both statesmen and strategists thé thought of how f00Irish f00Irish the British government was to -forbid the construction of a railroad tunnel between England and France. Had the two empires been connected by the proposed double tube road beneath the English Channel there would have been a vast saving of time trouble and expense expense in the conveyance of British troops to. the fields of war in Northern Northern France and Belgium. -- Dover being sixty-six miles from London and only twenty-six from Calais, a troop train could have run from England to France in considerably considerably less than half the time of a run from London to Dover. The choppy sea passage and the tedious -tasks of embarkation and debarkation debarkation would" have been avoided. Neither from below nor from above could any attack have been made, submarines and aeroplanes being alike powerless to pierce 300 feet under the bed of the sea. Men, horses, guns and supplies of all kinds would have arrived in better condition than was possible by the old sea route. It may be observed that not one word of all this is uttered by any of the British military experts. They preserve a discreet silence. It was they, or their predecessors, the official official advisers of the government, who blocked the way of the channel channel tunnèl project. They shrank from the shadow of the Napoleonic bogy of invasion. Just forty" years ago, when the railway tunnel was first suggested, the British Foreign Office expressed its approval, and yet there is no tunnel, because every time the matter was referred to the military experts they reported reported against it as a danger. There is reason to believe that those who survived have changed their mind, and that the newer men who direct direct British military affairs regard the undersea road not as a peril, but as a convenience. This it certainly certainly would be, and even more so in peace than in war, if the bond of Anglo-French friendship remained unbroken. As Mr. Asquith promised in the autumn of last y&ar, the scheme has been reconsidered by the War Office, the Admiralty and the Board of Trade, and it is understood that their reports are in the hands of the Committee of Imperial Defence. The decision of this body is likely 7 to be favorable. If it is, the tunnel will probably be made by the Southwestern Southwestern Railway Company, of England,* England,* and the Northern Rail-way Company 7 , of France, each of which is prepared to expend $40,000,000, one half of the estimated total cost. But the work may be deferred until after the war--which, while it severely severely taxes the energies and resources resources of both nations, is steadily drawing them closer in the ties of affectionate comradeship. The tunnel tunnel would be in itself the addition of a highly desirable and substantial tie. * CLUBBING LIST. BOWMANVILLE BRANCH A. N. McMILLAN, Manager. ode (D. P. MweEarKne. Manager), Newcastle.
