Harry Cann Insurance and Real Estate When the big war is over civilization civilization can do no less than to give bàck to the Jews their ancient shrine and to permit them once mor& to feel the pride of possession in a land that means more to them than it does to any other people* Leading Jewish thinkers are of the opinion that one of the" results of the war will be to make the solution of the Jewish problem in Europe and Asia much easier. It is pointed out that the war has proved again that the essential element element of Judaism is not distinctly racial, but is religious. There are a quarter of a million "Jews in the Russian army. The Jews of Germany, Germany, Austria, France, Servia and England are proportionately patriotic patriotic and loyal to the country in which they live. In face of the fact that the Jews of each of the warring nations have proved their loyalty to the flag of the countrÿ in which they live at such a great sacrifice, anti-Semitic prejudice ought to be entirely banished from Europe. The Jews of Europe, have no features features that distinguish them from the other citizens of the nations in which they live, except their religion religion and the habits of thought and custom that belong to their religion. The Jewish people ought not to be persecuted for their, religion any more than the Catholics or the Protestants Protestants ought to be persecuted for their religion. After this war the Christian world ought to make 1 known that it will rejoice if Palestine, Palestine, the Holy Land, once more may belong to children of Israel. A religious wave is said to be sweeping over Germany. Some days ago we announced the same thing for France. Well, that is the only way to get rid of war or to relieve a people of its pangs. Whatever the principle involved, the realities of war are straight from hell ; and there is no way to escape from them except to look to heaven. Nothing can he finally decided irom the materialistic materialistic standpoint. Swords and facts and figures are of no avail when we would enthrone the spirit of truth in our life, whether of nation nation or individual. So the people engaged in war are turning to religion. Well, that is the only solution--faith in God and good will to man. You can make your cannon QCtinch calibre and throw your shot forty miles, but it will settle nothing. Along will come another fellow with a 21-inch bore and a range of forty-five miles. What has God and truth and righteousness righteousness got to do with all this sort of getting ahead and killing more people '? No wonder people are beginning beginning to feel that the earthly remedies remedies are only increasing the distemper, distemper, and to rush to the altars for comfort and forgiveness.

"We Germans do not cherish hate." "I have labored steadily to develop a good understanding with England." These are some of the striking statements made by the Imperial German German Chancellor, Von Bethmann-Hollweg, in a long interview on the war, its causes, and its probable results. The ravages of war have not spared even the "Reichkanzler." In his uniform of Lieutenant- General, with grizzled, close-cropped beard, lie seemed much older than the scholarly, frock-coated statesman of Reichstag debates. Only recently his oldest son had been wounded on one of the battlefields of Poland. As a reward for his efforts the Kaiser has presented him with an Iron Cross which is suspended from the ribbon in the third buttonhole of his coat. The chancellor is firm and obdurate, and in spite of many reverses is firmly confident of ultimate victory for Germany. Germany.

HIT BY THE WAR While the people of Canada are subscribing subscribing generously to the Red Cross Society Society our sympathetic neighbors in the United States are not forgetting our gallant gallant soldiers nor our allies who_are fighting fighting side by side on the European battlefield. battlefield. Among.the contributions received recently at the headquarters of the society was a large consignment of socks, comforters, comforters, wristlets, helmets' -etc., all of which were contributed by the nurses of Johns Hopkins hospital, Baltimore, Md. Another large consignment was also received received from Riverside, California. ' From the far distant Yukon the gener - ous people of that territory have not forgotten forgotten the needs of the society for a cash contribution of $132.50 was recently received received at the headquarters of the society from the town of White Horse. This sum was half the proceeds of an entertainment entertainment given in that place, the other half of the amount raised, being given to the Belgian Relief Fund. The well known lines of Rudyard Kipling Kipling may well be altered today to read, "For east is east and west is west and EVER twain shall meet." From the far flung western prairies, from the distant hamlets of the Yukon, from the quaint villages that nestle in the valleys by the St. Lawrence river, from east and west the hearts of the people are going out to our brave soldiers and our gallant allies who are ready to give their lives for the undying glory of the empire. By the money they, send and the comforts they make the burden of many a man will be lightened and his lot nude happier.

Man Those who live in the country, in village, village, town or small city, dwelling as it is sometimes stated, in communities where everybody knows everybody and pretty nearly everybody's business and family affairs, and where co-operation in local institutions and organizations is more pronounced, pronounced, it is scarcely understood what a difference people living in large cities where the half of them barely know their next door neighbors find in a social way. In the former all kinds of entertainments, social, fraternal, religious, educational, patriotic and otherwise are contributed to or participated in by the maj'ority of families in the community but in metropolitan metropolitan and cosmopolitan cities few such co-operative operations are known. But the people must be entertained and they find their greatest field of amusement and pastime in the playhouses which have grown in numbers enormously already in the first decade and a half of this century --from the "nickle show" to the grand opera and other big apd fashionable houses of entertainment. Millions of money are spent on buildings with most elaborate and costly decoration and equipment for the sole purpose of providing entertainment for the masses who seek it and are willing to pay the price to be exclusive. One of the biggest and best of the entertainment entertainment houses in New York City is located on Sixth Avenue and 44th Street and is known as The New York Hippodrome. Hippodrome. This largest of the world's playhouses playhouses presents a new program every season season and Gothamites of all ranks aiid classes classes and visitors from all parts of the wofld visit the "Hip" as it is popularly known in that city. One of the finest productions put on the immense stage was "H. M. S. Pinafore" by Gilbert and Sullivan. The past season "Wars of the World" created a sensation. Now by way of variety the next production is to be a circus 1 A clean and good circus affords amusement for every individual from the small boy to the hoary-headed grandsire and all the female members of the family included.

Theèe orders were drawn Every part of the globe seems to bê suffering more or less from war. In a letter from Mr. Philip T. Smith, Victoria, Chili, South America, in which he sends $25 for Canadian newspapers, magazines, etc., he writes: Times are very hard here, business being almost paralyzed. Our last harvest was very bad, the worst 1 have known in my 31 years' residence in Chili. Then came the European war which has almost paralyzed the foreign trade, especially in nitrate export which brings the chief revenue to the Government, Government, so it places the "Government in a bad fix. They have tried to economize by cutting down salaries of Government employees employees and discharging all _ that they could possibly do without. It is the same on farms and factories, in fact all branches branches of business. In our business of lumber and packing cases we usually employ over 1000 workmen; now we have about 100 and expect still to have to make further reductions. This is the state of trade through the whole South of Chili and I believe in the North also; the result is there are thousands of unemployed, consequently consequently a gréait deal of stealing. On the farms it is not quite so bad as in our case. We try at least to giye the people enough work to keep in food. That of itself is a heavy undertaking as we have about 200 families of chiefly poor people living on our land and depending on us for their living. These people are chiefly very improvident. They sow grain on shares with ourselves; we give them a house, oxen to work with, arid part ot the cost of the labor; they do all the work; we also provide threshing machines; at harvest we divide equally the products. This system works out very well for both sides and the people, if they had any care, might do well. This year we have sown over 2000 acres in wheat and oats, and the prospects are at present very favorable for a heavy crop. To thresh this we have four large steam threshers and with them we can usually get thru our harvest in a month. This year has been exceptionally rainy and as ourdand is high there is going going to be a tremendous amount of straw . We hope that the grain will tuçn out. accordingly. accordingly.
