The situation is at last being pro- erly handled and bids fair to re- sift in against German jambitions in east. the ' The beautiful elms fronting the . county court house are. alive with caterpillars, which fare destryying the foliage. It §s a pity that some means are not being hdopted to pro- tect this fine row. of ornamental trees. The Imperial War Cabinet has not yet concluded its sessions, and the Prime Minister of Canada is still mn attendance inthe prosecution of a great common task, the unification of the Empire, In which Canada is a bright particular unit. Tommy Church, the wordy mayor of Toronto, flim-flammed the people of his burg. A big crowd gathered to hear the Riot Act read, but His Worship only harangued the popu- lace. Maybe he wanted to make a real excuse to have the Riot Act read. Government jprice-fixing, that will eurb greedy profiteers while mot interfering with production, 1s being demanded on all sides. Stan- dardization, regulation control of essential commodities is required to- day to prevent the spread of dis- content and disorder. So successful has been the war waged against the U-boat that Ger- man sallors have mutinied rather than serve in this branch of the ser: vice. Seeing so many of their bro- ther sailors going out in submarines and never coming hack has shatter- 'ed their nerve. "Bob" Rogers has bobbed up again, like the famous "bobbed tail- ed nag." And he suggests the ro- vival of party government in the midst of the war's direst trials. The Brantford Expositor rightly says "it is yellow dog partizans of the Rog- ors type. who are the gravest men- ace to good government at any time." We. hail Marshal Foch!

France has honored him with its highest 'honor, but the world acclaims him as its greatest military strategist.

There may be no submarine blockade of Canada, but the means will be found, make no doubt about it, iwhen they are want- ed, to carry out the regulations. ASPACIFIST FULMINATES. The Weekly Sun of Toronto has a pacifist "associate editor who rails against the churches for preaching 80 much Old Testament doctrine of fight rather than' the new message of the gospels. And then he ful- minates: : ""*An eye for an eve and a tooth for a tooth' has been more frequent- ly heard than 'Peace on earth, eood will to men.' The command "Thou shall not kill' has been changed to an- injunction to kill provided the killing is in an organized wholesale way and confined to those we call enemies. We have reverted to the idea of a god which is the deity of ene particular tribe and the Allies of that tribe. We no longer sing: 'Praise Him all creatures here be- low," but 'scatter his enemies' -- 'his' in this case being a man who happened to be born on a certain date of certain parents. We have forgotten the ideal of a common brotherhood, and have descended to one of a mere tribal brotherhood. .'Out of this something else is be- ing evolved. Selfishness is harden- ing along new flines--class against class, city against country. Labor and capital, which seemed at one time to be coming together, are drawing further apart. "A new line of cleavage was discerned at the recent Great War Veterans' Conven- tion when all the discussion, as re- ported. appeared to he based on the assumption that the veterans are to be a class apart." And for all these dire calamities the church must share responsibil- ity. Pudge! The church 'has preached the doctrine of the de- struction of Prussianism, the de: struction of the spirit of might, the destruction forever of outrages, brutalities, wantonness by a nation steeped in militarism. No qther doctrine could. be preached. No pacifist idea of turning the other cheek to the smiter is applicable. Force and might must be levelled to allow "the ideals of a common brotherhood" te dominate. With 'ninetemths of the wolld against the vile Hun, the preachers have a pretty sure warrant to enunciate the principles that will make for a bet- ter, a safer, a wiser and a more perfect understanding among na- tions and a larger liberty for all Peoples. And when the freebooter and pirate ig tamed then the na- tions will create a league--and the churches will join in the proposal--- 50 that fhiere shall be no more war. God hasten the dawning day!!

But yesterday a man of imperfect in- telligence and weak will ruled over territory containing many niillions of people. As he governed by divine right, he was surrounded by courtiers who never disagreed with. him, and, paradoxical as it may seem, his ipower was so great that he never knew what was going on in his own empire. No one, even the wisest of his counsellors, could argue with him, and no real inférmation ever reached his ears; not even the crack of the rifles that but an end to his career. genial most rev arts good society, recently a vast not ' PUBLIC OPINION | 3 Paying the Penalty.
