~ THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG, WEDKEED JAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1914. After the War--What? When the war is over, what then? Are there good times or hard times in store for us? Will the era of high prices continue, with steady work for all, or will we experience a setback that will keep us poor for years? The answer to that question is very largely in depends on us Canadians---not on the few one of us. our own hands. It in high places, but on every Every year we are importing hundreds of millions of dollars worth of goods, much of which could be produced just as well in Canada. Suppose they were produced: here. Think of the number of work- men who would be employed. Think of what it would mean in wages, and money kept in circulation. Think of what it would mean to our farmers, to our shopkeepers----to our builders, to everybody. Think of what it would mean to you. They can be produced here; they will be pro just stop and think every time you make a purchase.

But it is impossible, I am sure, for people safe at home in Eng- and, in the peace of ald conntry villages, to understand, even dimly, the meaning of invasion by hostile armies, ; They understand. ithere in northern France. They know the misery and he hoiror of it. Itis a great fear vhich spreads like a plague, though more swiftly and, terpibly, in advance 7f the enemy's troops. It maxes the bravest men sick with cowardice #hen they think of the women and *hildren.

The Sad Long Lists, At the present time in this part of France there are thousands of hus- oands who have lost their wives and children, thousands of families who lave been divided hopelessly in the wild confusion of these retreats from + brutal soldiery. They have dis- ippeared into the maelstrom of fugi- tives wives, daughters, sisters, nothers, and old grandfathers and zrandmothers, most of them without money and all of them dependent for their lives upon the hazard of tuck very day in the French newspapers there are long lists of inquiries. y "M. Henri Planchet would be deep ly grateful to anyone who can inform nim of the whereabouts of his wife suzanne, and of his two little girls, Berthe and Marthe, refugees from \ire-sur-Lys." "Mme. Tardien would be profound- y grateful for information about aer daughter, Mme. des Rochers, who fled from the destroyed town of Albert on October 10, with her fous *hildren." Every day I read some of these ists with a pain in the heart, finding i tragedy in every line, and wonder- ng whether any of these missing ( people are among those whom I have met in the guard-vans of troop rains, huddled among their bundle: or on wayside platforms, patient in their misery, or-in the long columns of retreating inhabRants from a lit- de town deep in a wooded valley be- low the hills where German guns are vomiting their shrieking shrapnel.

Perhaps a patrol of Uhlans, who shoot pea- sants like rabbits as they run across the fields, and who demand wine, and more wine, until in the madness of drink they begin.4o burn and des- troy for mere lust of ruin.

Big Tourist Agency Will Not Rup Excursions. London, Nov. 18--It was emphati- cally declared by an official of one of the largest tourist agencies doing business here and in America that the company would conduct no bat- tlefield excursions on the termina- tion of the war,.saying that after so much suffering it hensible to advertise "battlefield jaunts. The official said: "If any person should ask us to conduct private parties we should do $0. but we never go in. fo gnch business on our own initiative." This is net the attitude of & cer- tain smaller tourist ageney, Which advertises to-day as follows: . "Americans 'and others: A few private, personally-conducted auto- mobile fours will be carried out to the area and battlefields of the war early next year or immediately - af- ter the evacuation of Belgium, and Northern France by the * Germans. Cars specially built for the purpose will be used." Eo Some of the latest tourist Hiera- 'ture, printed to be circulated in Arm erica, advertises spring tours in Southern France, Spain and Italy. It is said that the printing orders of the usual great quantities of tourist pamphlets have been held up inde- finitely, Was Fond of Canadians. London, Nov. 18--The Morning Post, referring to. Lord Roberts' pa- tronage of the rifle clubs, says: "His visits to. Bisley were always full of encouragement to the riflemen. He usually called on the Canadians, and was fond of talking over the tomin- ion's wholesale methods of encour- aging rifle practice." ' The Daily News, with a recrudes- cence of its pro-Boer policy, says that undoubtedly Roberts awed much of his fame to his career in India, South Africa added little or nothing to the romantic lustre sure {rounding his famous march to Kan- dahar.- His conduct of the South African campaign was severely eriti- {eized, and the younger men.won the 3 "N 0 Alum" would be repre-! OF THEIR APPALLING LOSS IN THE BATTLES. Casualties Up to November 1st Were 900,000 Officers And Mea One Reason For Secrecy. London, Nov. 18.--"The Morning Post publishes the text of a letter received by the London correspond- wnt of a Bucharest paper from a friend in Hamburg, in which the writer comments bitterly on the way in which the Austrian. public are kept in ignorance of the appal- ling losses amongst the Austrian troops. The writer, who himself copied the figures from a report shown him by an official in the Austrian ministry, says the Austrian losses in the campaign again Ser- via up to November 1st, reached a total loss of 148,698 officers and men, being most one-third of the whole army originally sent to that region. In Galicia they reached a total of 752,766, and in Kast Hun gary, 1,772. Thus, Austria lost during the first three months of the war a little over 900,000 'officersy and men, which is something like 27 per cent. of the whole army len gaged. The writer says one reason why, in his opinion, the government re frains from the publication statistics for the present is that the most popular Hungarian regiment, the first, seventh and.sixteenth cavalry, were almost completely annihilated in France and Belgium. Never a word was published officially as to their being sent to reinforce the Uhlans in the west. There were rumors about it, but not even let- ters reached the people of the Hus sars in Hungary. I understand these have been kept back in order that uneasiness should not arise. should not wonder if it had created not merely uneasiness but rebellion, for the people here hold that as long as Hungary is seriously threatened and being invaded even by Servians, as was the case, we cannot afford to have even our Austrian regiments in Belgium for Germany's sake." DEADLY AERO DARTS. Strike 'With 100 Pounds Force When Falling. Paris, Nov. 18--A Frénch doctor, who has just returned from Flan- ders, describing the effect of the "Heche daero," as the steel darts with which the French dirmen are supplied are generally called, said: "Among the two thousand wound- ed whom we treated in forty-eight hours was a German who had been struck by an aeroplane dart. He was evidently bending over when hit, for the dart had entered the right thigh and traversed the whole leg, so that the point emerged just above the boot. The man was conscious when he was brought in, and said he felt no pain, only a heavy blow. He died soon afterwards from shock and loss of blood." The dar! resemble steel pencils, They are abu. ( five inches long, with the unpointed half fluted to ensure their falling head first. It is calen- lated that they strike with a hund- red pounds' force, if thrown from an élévation of I,000 metres.
