The crown prince and his army in full retreat will mot help to boost Hohenzollern stock in Germany. The kaiser says the hardest part of the struggle is yet to come. Quite possibly he ¥s contemplating the difficulty of swailowing defeat. Were P. T. Barnum living to-day, observes the Kansas City Star, he would probably say: '"There's a Russian born every minute."

Deep dowh in his heart the Tuk thinks about as much of the Hun 's the rest of the world does. He is at last beginning to see what a cat's paw the German has made of him. The Peterboro Review fears that some of the Canadian editors now "overseas may embark on lecturing tours when they return. But what have 'the Canadian people done to deserve this fate? The fourth anniversary of the war looks brighter than the third did." But we've got to fight if we are to wring victory from the Huns. Hold on and withhold nothing, Can- adians, until peace dawns, he, seceders from G.W.V.A. have come back into the fold, the differ- ences having been adjusted By con- tentious muestions being shelved for the present.

AE SURI 3 THE WAR AFTER THE WAR. The Whig has an several occa- sions commented upon the proposal to ban goods of German manufac- ture after the war. It has referred to the decision of the British Sed- men's Unfon" not to sail on ships entering German pofis or carrying German goods for a certain number of years after the war, the period to be determined by the extent of Hun atrocities on the sea. This spirit finds expression in many quariers and in many guises. Associations have been formed in England and in the Unitéd States whose members | obligate themselves mot to buy or use German goods or to have any trade whatever with the nation which has brought such undeserth- able horror and unparalleled suffer. ing mpon the world. It is this war after the war that Germany fears, more than she fears the defeat of her ams which she now recognizes she can no longer avert. Canadians, far removed from the horrors of the battlefield; wers prone to think of the Hun as a civilized human being, trayannized over by an autocratic military caste. The sinking of the Can- adian hospital ship Llandovery Castle and the deliberate bombiig of the Canadian hospital in north- ern France tend to change our views. We have come to know that 'the Hun is a liar, a rapist and a 'vandal, as well as a pirate and a murderer. The kaiser and the Ger- man people are one. The annals of the war reveal no difference be- tween them in purpose, method ar intent. They are savages endowed with the ingenuities of human in- telligence. hese facts the Ameri cans are learning at dong last. Our neighbors. have - awakened to tha menace of the beast of Berlin--a Menace as much to be dreaded af- ter the war as now. Their aftilude is well expersed by H. M. Nimmo, editor of Black and White, and a graduate of Queen's University. He writes: . oud i "In his native lair the Hun is a wild beast, i oii tion is his proper portion.

Amsterdam, Aug. b.--Count Reventlow, writing in the Tages Zeitung of Berlin, on the anni- versary of the fourth year of the war, says: ' '""The beginning of the fifth year of the war is marked in a large part of the German press by reflections 'whiich are over- flowing with 'resignation, mel- ancholy and whining." * PEEP E PIL pp SPI FP EFI LPP ee A bank account is a strong incen- tive to thrift, to careful conservation Rippling Rhymes - held the foe &o keen to get the ing on, are marchi the ma are marching on.
