Partizan or patriot? The choice is yours. Biff, Bang, Byng'--and the boast- ed Hindenburg line collapses. The women are all for Union. They have been since the beginning of time. True Liberalism is never afraid to declare its principles in the day of adversity. The Bishop of Toronto has issued a strong pastoral in' favor of the Union Government: | Keep the farmers on the land. That is Gen. Mewburn's policy, and it is a good one. The problem Is not to get educa. tion out of politics so much as to get education into the politicians. What are you going to do about it? Let the glory of Canada fade just when it had reached its bright. est? | A lot of girls are now getting a business training that them to support husbands after the war. The United States balloon school at Fort Omaha, Neb., is calling fer balloonists, Here's something to go up in the air for. Eight United States congressmen, just returned from the battlefront, state that the war may continue for four years more, Cheerful fellows, these. " Soap 5. one. of the scarcest articles in Germany, and everywhere posters are painted warning the people to "Save the Soap." What a happy land, for the hoboes! The Whig welcomes correspond. ence on timely topics from people manly enough to sign their names to the letters. The waste paper basket welcomes the other kind. "Wisdom is the principhl thing; therefore get wisdom; and with all thy getting get understanding." If you follow this advise, you must needs vote for the Union Govern- ment. .t The possibilities of revolution in England are being gravely discussed by leading papers, publicists and educationalists. Is the great war go- ing to enthrone Democracy in all the lands of the earth? It would ap- pear so, During the first tifteen days of November the total wastage in the Canadian Expeditionary Forge ex. ceeded the total number of recruits obtained by 9.150 men. Laurier and Bourassa and Kitchener, Ont., want more of this kind of voluntary en. listment. Do you? The gravest dangers which 'our boys face in this war is not death, great as is their risk of that, but the breaking down of home ideals, and in keeping them true to right stand- ardé. No other agency has done as much to provide against meh dang- ers as the Y.M.C.A. THE ROAD TO SUOCESS. The road to success is a rough one. Flowers bloom at the wayside, it is true, but he who would get on must roll the stones out of his way first 'and greatest duty. {will be given, freely, will enable | ready and lie among he flowers -after- wards. Lots of us lie among the flowers first, thinking that when we weary of th we will go to rolling stones. But the longer we lie the more dis- tasteful the stone-rolling becomes. He who defers an unpleasant duty does it twice. Anticipation of it may become a continual torture. It is wise to be done with it in the first place, and then contemplation of it becomes a pleasure. The shirking of responsibility, the dread of failure, lead many a man to keep doing only the things which he likes and thoroughly wunder- stands, : If he is satisfied with moderate success, all right. But he must not expect anything more of such me- thods. Whenever a motive is great en- ough, an emergency large enough, a responsibility heavy enough, to call olit the hidden reserves in our nat- ure, latent energies spring forth which agtonish us. Lots of people owe almost every. thing to some handicap, which has been their perpetual worry and their perpetual spur. UNTIL THE WAR IS WON. Until this war is won every real {Canadian should 'forget that he is a { Liberal, Conservative, Socialist or t Laborite, and remember only that he !is Canadian. "The German people is lalways right," says Richard von , Tannenberg, "because it is the Ger- :: | man people and because it numbers 87,000,000." 'To such an argument only one reply is possible: We must make you less than 87,000,000, and (then, by your own logie, you will be wrong. That is ths task before us. It is the task of Canada just as much {as it is the task of Great Britain, France or the- United States. The valiant Canadian army knows it, and its leaders call upon us to strengthen their hands. Herein lies our first Until that im- perative obligation is manfully and {fully discharged party politics must | wait. The British Whig is a Liberal newspaper of the old school, but it wculd be untrue to itself, its readers {and its country were it to play the | political game in the hour of the Empire's direst peril. * Its support gladly, unre- servedly, to the man or the measure ! dedicated to the most vigorous pro- secution of this war. nothing less. It could do INVEST IN BONDS. Kingston's showing dn Victory bond investments is certainly ome that will bring the old ity promin- ently before the country. 'There is still corn in Egypt" is a trite way of saying Kingstonians hold much money in their possession. Bond men have long regarded Kingston as one of the best monied cities in Can- ada, and the way its citizens have taken Victory bonds is another evi- | dence of * the truthfulness of the statement. And then again the citizens know @ good thing when they see it. Sav- ings invested at 5% per cent. is in- finitely better than bank deposits drawing only three per cent. The canvassers have wery clearly shown this advantage to the citizens, and it 'is a splendi fact that invest- ments have beén made so generally by all the people. Outside of about $500,000, the ordinary, every day work-a-day citizen has put up the money for the million and more al- subsoribed. Thrift and economy diave been' in evidence everywhere over this good old town, and it will be stimulated and in- creased as a result of the Victory Bond campaign. | But there is still room for more subscribers. Have you bought yours? (Have you put your dollars into uniform to help win the war? There may be some timid ones in the city yet--there always are--hence we again point out that the bonds are giit.edged; good dividend paying securities, on the top of the eart:. They can be as readily turned intd cash &s savings in post-office or bank. The Government offers security "'as safe [> as a church" and only asks those' who can to lend them their money at a fine rate of interest. The money all comes back "to Canadian work- men, merchants and manufacturers in purchasing war supplies, and thus . maintains the country's prosperous condition. Saturday night the sale closes, Let it ¢lose with a bumper result, one that will put Kingston in first place, according to population, in Canada. One great big push and the result will be attained. Then come Saturday night to the City 'Hall and join in Kingston's record. --------------------_ Action' Versus Fair Words.

And Kitchener. (Montreal Star) The ideals of Union Government and a policy of loyal support to our troops qverseas have no more effec- tive promoters throughout Canada than the clique of rowdies which has set itself the task of howling down the representatives and candidates of that Government and that policy in Montreal. (Rochester Talks Like Beaten Man. (Harry *. Gadsby (Lib) Sir wiltrid Laurier talks like a beaten man. Sir Wilfrid's manifesto says as plain as day, "What's the use?" Somewhat or other it sounds ike the pale echo of the Liberal piat- form of 1893 which Sir Wilfrid for- got for fifteen years and remembered too late, Redmond-Joyce Wedding, On Wednesday morning, St Mary's Cathedral was the scene of a pretty wedding, when Anna May, only daughter of Matthew Joyce, of this city, became the bride of Vin- cent J. Redmond, Pittsburg. The bride, who was given away by her father, wore a beautiful suit of tail- ored navy blue broadcloth, with hat lo match, and the groom's gift, a magnificent set of silver fox furs. The bridesmaid was Miss Etta May Fowler, cousin of the bride, who was gowned in corn flower charmeuse, with hat of gold lace to match. Alex- ander Fowler assisted the groom. After the ceremony, a sumptuous wedding breakfast was partaken of at the home of the bride, where also was seen the beautiful array of gifts, which went to show the popularity of the young couple Mr. and Mrs. Redmond left on the noon train for Toronto and other western cities on their honeymoon, and on their re- turn will reside in Pittsburg, where Mr. Redmond is a prosperous young farmer. Injured in Collision. About 6 o'clock on Thursday evening, an automobile collided with a sand wagon on Princess street above Frontenac, and Miss Georgia Bell received injuries to her head and face. The automobile and wagon collided through the fault of another auto passing on the wrong side.

TOWN OF SEAFORTH IS SHORT OF COAL Other Places, Too, in the Pro= vince Report Scarcity of Fuel. Toronto, Nov. 30 Despite the best efforts of both the Fuel Administrator and the Canadian Fuel Controller, the fuel situation in Ontario, the small towns especially, is pretty bad. Toronto wholesalers are unable to secure sufficient coal from - their American operators to supply the demand. While licenses have been granted by the American Fuel Administrator for the shipment of into Canada during November and December of this year, the best in- formation available would indicate that not €0 per cent. of this amount has as yet Deen shipped. Throughout the Province there are small towns that have received prac- tically no coal since last April. .Yes- terday Mayor H. Stewant of Seaforth called up a Teronto dealer and urged that coal be sent-there immediately, as the' Town Hall, churches and school were out of coal, and wood could not be obtained. FAST FREIGHTS 4 TO BE BE TAKEN OFF "Broadway Limited" Also to Cease Running on the Pennsylvania. Pittsburg, Nov. 30.--An embargo, effective at once, upon the shipment of all export stell billets, bars, plates, scrap and pig iron, except that in- tended for use abroad of the United States Government, and the suspen- sion of all "fast freight lines on the railroads of the Eastern distriet of the United States, was ordered by the general operating committee of the Eastern railroads at the close of its first day's session here, The committee also ordered the diversion of all through freight which would normally pass through the congested Pittsburg gateway be- tween the East and the West to railroads north and south of that district; the discontinuance on De- cember 1st of the fast passenger train on the Pennsylvania railroad known as "The Broadway Limited," and furnishing of only box and stock cars for team truck loading of coal. emer Papal View of Peace. Rome, Nov. 30.--The Papal Secre- tary of State, Cardinal Gasparri, an- swering the numerous criticisms re- garding the Vatican's peace attitude jesned to the press the following "The Holy Father is not| preparing any new appeal looking | toward peace...
