It's easier to forgive your enemy when you've got him down. Which goes a long way to explain the Al- lies' readiness to feed the starving Huns. Sir Wilfrid went out of his way to flatter "the noble German people." Canadians at home, as well as the boys who are returning from the trenches, will resent this utterance. REN Privates are being d¥secharged from the army.at the rate of about 200 a day. But what about those higher up? Are they all to remain as an unnecessary burden upon ¢ the country? The 'voluntary surrender by Ger- many of thé ex-kaiser and his-sons and all the lesser breed of criminals would reflect honor upon the mna- tion--and at this moment she nesds honor more than food. rbot. iota The genuinendss of Germany's eon- version to democracy is doubted on all sides. British statesmen have warned us against the treachery that may be concealed beneath the easy transition from autocracy to democracy. The best welcome for the return- ing soldier is not the brass band and the parades and the speeches of dis- tinguished citizens, but the notifi- cation from the" boss that he hang up his hat on the old peg the mext Monday morning. ~The letters C.N.R. now stand, not for Canadian Northern Railway, but for Canadian National Railway. Public ownership is making some advance, though it may not be as rapid as most of us would like. Frederick the Great once wrote to one of his ministers "If there 'is anything to be gained by it we will be honest; if deception is necessary, let us be cheats." That has been the policy of Germany even to this day. And she has gained by it-- the odlum of the whole civilized world. .

Germany's idea of sea pow- er was something quite different from this, If she had won the war, the oceans would have been unsafs for the world's commerce for all time to come. INDIA AND THE WAR. "Look you mow! Consider poor Jivan Shah! No legs he ~--no neck---one arm. Does he ask for money? All day long he works--+the most honored man on the compound. Eat shame awhile! Repent and be like him!" That Is what the wife of a cook in India sald recently to her idle son who asked for money. It is what is be- ing said, with variations, through- out India wherever maimed Indian soldiers who haye been trained at reconstruction centres begin earn- ing their Mving.

The German people might feel a able to read and write, having dif- ferent traditions in dress, speech and the treatment of friend and foe, alike only in one characteristic --unbounded and often-tested cour- age--these men flocked to defend the Empire. Some have returned maimed but not incapacitated. In a country where nine dollars is the average yearly income these sol- diers, educated for the first time in their lives, are ables to earn from six to thirty-two dollars a month. No wonder they are held up as shining examples to be imitated. It seems like a page from the Arabian Nights to read that scien- tific agriculture is being taught in a land where wheat is' still planted and raised by hand as in the days of David. It must seem nothing short of magical to see little Leg- horns and Minorcas hopping out of incubators but the magic lies in the hands of the men who went over- seas to fight and then came home, like Jivan Shah, no legs--no neck --Onz arm, , but nevertheless a magician in the making. "THE FREEDOM OF THE SEAS." One of the knotty problems that will come up for discussion at the peace conference will be that ef the freedom of the seas. It is to be ex- pected that Germany will usd her best endeavors to curb Great Bri- tain's claim to a free and unre- stricted ocean highway and will try by every means in her power to ex- cite the jealousy of other nations. Our Allies, however, are fully aware of what Britain's naval su- premacy has meant to them and to the world during the present com- flict; they fully realize that with- out this great ald civilization might not have survived. An Americen writer has recently made this fact quite plain, Speaking at the Uni- versity Club in Brooklyn on Satur- day night, Louis Tracy pointed out the absurdity .of Germany's. conten- tion that she had to plot against Great Britain because Britain con- trolled the sea. Dutch, Swedish and Norwegian ships, Re sald, had a tremendous trade by sea, and Holland--he might have added Belgium and Portugal remarks the New York Times--valuable eolon- fes, but none of them had ever fear- ed Britain's dominfon of the seas. None had ever feared that she would deal unfairly with them, and none had had to form alliances and conspiracies against her, The difference - between = Groat Britain's control of the seas and Germany's army lon land 1s that no- body had any reason to be afraid of the former. The British fleet is for defensive purposes only. Great Britain is an island, and would hapre small chances of defemce by an army if an enemy invaded her. She must-have a great fleet as ner little 'better if some one of the HohenzoHerns had gotten near en- ough to sthe fighting to know what 'was going on. The Strangest Fact. (Ohio State Journal.) The most remarkable thing.to us, after the way they'd acted for more than four years, is the evidence that you can't feel all the German peo- ple, even, ail the time. In the passing of George E. Frost, which occurred on Tuesday in Belle- ville, a well-known citizen and ex- civic employee will be missed. In 1854 deceased was born on the Can- nifton road.
