"There's something in the British after all," and all the lion's cubs seem to haye inherited it. "Married men must fight," is the decision of US. Secretary Baker. Well, they's used to it, aren't they? No man, says a contemporary, ever got himself disliked by mind- ing his own business.

Rowell has very de- finitely told critics 'that! "the gov- ernment is going to keep the Can- adign army reinforced untH the war fs: won." The people are behind the Union Government in this purpose. There hats been a wave of ap- proval at the Wihig's suggestion that churches of the same denomination should get together and save coal during the winter. A pooling of funds would meet all the expenses of all the churches. The schoois could go on half-time schedule, meeting in the larger bubldings. An even 1,000 Victoria Crosses have been awarded since the deco- ration was instituted by Queen Vic- toria at the time of the India Mut- dny. Nearly 200 haye been won in the present war. IH every man who has earned the covetedy\decoration dn this war could bef "warded, the number issued would be many times one thousand. A platform tour of the country by a number of Cabinet Ministers, bringing before thé public the re- cord of achievement which Mr. Rowell so clearly stated' on Satur- day night, would steady the national mind and otherwise do an immense amount of good.

ANOTHER TREATY BROKEN The Germans have again shown that treaties are but "scraps of pap~ er" to them They are violating a treaty with the United 'States by smashing the fishing fleets on the Atlantie coast. The Boston Post points out that this is an act of war forbidden by treaty with Germany. This treaty, which survives from the days of Adams and Jefferson with several reaffirmations, specifi- cally places "fishermen" in the class of those "whose occupations are for the common subsistence and benefit of mankind," and who "shail be al- lowed to continue their respective employments and shall not be mo- lested." It is further declared that it shall not be annulled or suspend- od under the "pretense that war dis- solves all treaties'; indeed, that that for whioh it is provided: ~But what is a freaty obligation, anyway? THE BEASTS OF BERLIN, The German brand of Kwiur has degraded and defiled the entire na- tion. Civilization has had a nar- row escape from an awful tragedy. All that was decent and «clean and worthy in life came verv pear being overthrown. The indecencies that wera practiced in the occupied por- tions of Belgium and France cause one to shudder at the thought of what would also have occurred in the British Empire and the Unitad States if Germany could have work- ed her will. The following paragraph the pen of Brand Whitlock, the United States ambassador to Bel- glum, appears in the September issue of Everybody's Magazine: "At a certain maternity home ex- tensive preparations were being made to receive the nuns from the convents in the eastern provinces of Belgium; victims of German sol- diers." How can the decent nations of the world ever resume friendly rela- tions 'with the beast of Berlin and his vile followers? from SENSIBLE 0OO-OPERATION. The British navy is the largest in the world, and its contribution to Allied success har been by far the largest, admits the Oswego Palia- dium. That is quite true. Had the British navy mot been ready, had it not been efficient, in August, 1914, German kultur, "with all Zits atrocities and all its fiendishness, might have crushed civilization and all its high ideals into the dust. But heaven willed otherwise. The Bri- tish admiralty, working of course in the best comradeship with the French and American naval offices, has supreme control of naval ope- rations on every sea. The French are fighting on French soil, and their contributions to the land successes of the Allies are greater than those of any other nation 'which fightg for civilization. The British and American troops in France are fighting under French direction, subordinated, of neces- sity, 'to thé Allied high command. Now there is a new Allied army on a new front, and Japan receives the recognition which her share in the war deserves. A Japanese gena- ral commands the British, [French and American troops in Siberia, and is directing their support of the 'Czecho-Slovaks in the Bailkal re- gion, It is as it should be. The Allies are fighting for de- mocracy, and there is democracy in their alliance. They do not dispute over; questions of precedence, for the result of the 'war lis more im- portant in their eyes than the ques- tion of who wins it. At a time when German igenerals are com- manding Turkish troops, and are in advisory staff positions "with Bul- garian and Austro-Hungarian arm- fes, when Potsdam never permits its supporters to forget the fact of Prussian hegemony, this appoint- ment of a Japanese general is worth noting. If is proof. enough that tha Allies are allies, 'which is more than can be waid of the Central Powers and their fellows. SAVE FOR THE COMING LOAN. Next autumn--and. that time is not very fa will float the Second Victory Loan. It is absolutely necessary that many millions more dollars should be se- cured in order to "carry on" until the day of victory dawns. Our boys at the front are doing their part doing it grandly, heroically and suc- cessfully--and 'we at home must support thef: to the very limit of our capacity. y Are we doing it. The war years {have been prosperous years for our manufacturers, our tradesmen, ont Are of our large earnings, or are Te morlE Jt us we So sensi} away-----the government | is fiow on the increase. The exil is noted especially among women. It is to be hoped that the increas- 8d earnings of Canadian workqrs will establish for them a new and higher standard of living.

A campaign waged against extrav- gance and waste should teach the peop e not only how to save money, but how to spend it with diserimi- nation and wisdom. 'And one of the best methods of saving is to in- vest in government bonds. By do ing so, the investor helps both him- self and his country. ------ have no asset * MBLC OPINION | 3 An Oversight.

(Halifax Chronicle) In the allied bag of prisoners there was a whole battalion of officers, in- cluding generals, colonels and other high rankers of the German staff. The pity is that the Allies have to feed the brutes. Why Quebec Is Safe. (Quebec Telegraph) Were it not for the vigilance of Britain's submarine chasers, one of those U-boats now devasting our Canadian fishing fleet might well stick up its ugly periscope in the Louise basin and shell the city of Quebec. * Waste of Paper.

The posts, telegraphs, telephones and railways of Bulgaria are in the hands of the Germans. German officers ecople the Bulgarian ministry of war andthe general staff. With each Bulgarian regiment is a German offi- cer, who receives a duplicate of every order and sees that it is carried out. ch company there is a German non-commissioned" officier, whose business it is to keep a'sharp eye on the rank and file. .
