Dr. Powell, of ‘The <~London Financial News, had a remarkable article in The National Review of February last, on the ‘‘Unseen Hand.‘‘ He said there was an imâ€" palpable and inscerutable influence at work ‘‘with the eapacity to strike hard at those who sought to unveil its identity or paralyze its treachâ€" erous maclhinations."‘ He pointed out a number of things only explainâ€" able by the influence of some *‘*tlhidâ€" den hand."‘* The survival of German banks in England, the favors to the German metal octopus, the immuniâ€" ties of thousands of alien spies, the hustling of Mr. Hughes out of Engâ€" land ‘because he was likely to put the demoeracy on the seent of â€" treachâ€" In an unusual letter to The Torâ€" onto News, Col.

How dangerous few people imagine. It seems almost certain that the ‘‘*unâ€" seen hand""‘ of Germany has got its claws upon us, and if Canadians do rot awaken untold injuries may come Col. George T.

That is, against 14,100 Frenchâ€"Canâ€" adians from all sections, Ontario born men of Brmitish origin numbering at least 60,000 have enlisted. ‘‘But the officaal figures diselose the novel fact that only 6,979 Frenchâ€" Canadians enlisted in Quebee. _ No fewer than 5,904 enlisted outside of itâ€"clnuiefly in Northern Ontario and Manitoba. ‘This is startling, as indicâ€" ating that the French population of Quebec has not responded in anything like the proportion with which its severest disparagers have credited it. The enlistments in Quebee number unearthed, as was done by Editor Rathom of Providence. It is perâ€" haps ftoo late for that, but it is nof too late for all Englishâ€"speaking I41bâ€" erals, ‘in every ‘part of Canada, to combine solidly for Canada, to fight the ‘‘Hidden Hand,"‘ and prevent it succeeding in its desiens. It is the ‘*The official figures of French and British Canadian enlistments â€" knock the bottom out of the elaborate atâ€" tempt of La Presse of Montreal to prove that â€" Frenchâ€"Canadians have enlisted as freely asâ€" nativeâ€"born Britishâ€"Canadians of Ontario. While detailed figures for Ontario are not included, the Government statement clearly establishes French Canada‘s failure to respond in any measure comparable with the effort of British Canada. Up to April 30 last 14,100 Frenchâ€"Canadians have enlisted, comâ€" pared with 125,245 nativeâ€"born Britishâ€"Canadians. _ Ontario _ enlistâ€" ments are oneâ€"third of the Dominion total of 412,000, and it will be found probably, that nativeâ€"born Ontario soldiers are oneâ€"half of the agerecgate women and Cchilidren fate that would fall lo fellow J eTrlcans,‘ /: horn in th adult live: the official pire says : There is a growing disposition amâ€" ong the honest, everyday, average Canadian to know if there really is anything wrong with Quebec, and if so what it is. Also, there is a growâ€" ing determination to find some means of remedying any difficulty there may hbe, One of the chief troubles hitherto has been the lack of facts and figures of a definite official natâ€" ure. (One man would say that Queâ€" bee was not doing its part, and this statement would be as emphatically contradicted. Another argument was that French speaking Canadians had enlisted as freely as English speakâ€" ing Canadians, and that â€" Canada‘s good showing in recruiting was due largely to the fact that ‘*80 per cent.‘‘ of the enlistments were of those of British birth. â€" Of course, tlhus latter was denied. It was an unâ€" truth on the face of it for over **90 per cent.‘‘ of the enlistments were men of **British‘‘ birth. Men born in Canada, no matter what tongue they speak are of ‘‘*British‘‘ birth. The references made to the number enlisting from the U.S. is also settled by the official figures now given out. Instead of hundreds of _ thousands, there are only a few thousand **Amâ€" ericans,"‘ and these include even those born in the U.S.A., but living all their adult lives in Canada.

The comparatively small French setâ€" tlements ovutside of Quebee have done almost as well as the million and a half Frenchâ€"Canadians in it. The French communities in Ontario and Manitoba do not, we believe, exceed 150,000,. _ How is it that the proporâ€" tion of Frenchâ€"Canadian enlistments outside of Quebee almost equals those within it? Is it not that the Frenchâ€" Canadians living in British provinces have hbeen kept in more responsive with the war, and with Canaâ€" da‘s effort to do its duty in Mixâ€" ing amonse â€" Britishâ€"Canadians, they have assimiliated hbetter â€" conceptions of the nature of the struggle.. Supâ€" erficially, the statisties seem to show that the Frenchâ€"Canadians. outside of Quebec have enlisted as freely, in proportion, as the nativeâ€"born Britâ€" ishâ€"Canadians.
