There are in most of these men that they them selves little dreamed of. They left Canada as raw young fellows, some of them schoolboys, few of them knowing anything about war, yet in no long time they were put through the stern school of army training, and turned into the very best sol- diers in the field. They are re- adaptable. They can be made as efficient in civil life as they proved in military_life. All they require is a chance. Everybody who employs others can give some of them a chance, and more than that, every- body is bound to do it. There has been altogether too much said about the psychelogieai change that has to be allowed for by all who have anything to de with the civil re-establishment of the soldier. The soldier will prove himself as resourceful and as apt in éivil life as those are who hever knew any other life. He has had advantages that a very large per- centage of our people have never had. ous discipline and has learned self- control. - We look to ou~ returnod men to raise our stangara of effi ciency in all departments of work into which they Wirift. Give them a chance. The result will be a speedy solution of all the problems of re- patriation, a great onward .rush to Canada, and the highest satisfac. tion to all who showed their faith in returned soldiers by employing them.

In summing up the whole situna- tion, the prime factor still remains, the certain shortage of houses, the insistent and growing demand, and the lack of supply to meet that de- mand. The possibilities are great for-the future of our city, and with the growth that is bound to come building must be accelerated. But the old policy of shuffling the re- sponsibility from one man's should- ers to another's will not do in this case.

FLU IS EPIDEMIC NOW IN LONDON Doctors Now Lament Absence of Whiskey and Brandy as Aids. a5 "0. London, Feb. --JFigures just published here indicate how serious the new wave of the influenza epi- demic is becoming. Throughout the country the numiber of deaths has more than doubled in the course of a week. London had 451 deaths, against' 169 the previous week, and Liverpool 148, compared to 55 the week before. Physicians report that pneumonia is developing much more frequently than in thd earlier waves of the epidemic. They are now quoted by the newspapers as deplor- ing the abgence of whiskey and brandy, which, they say, are valu- able helps ik fighting the epidemic, which generally they cannot get at all, or ag the best weak, below-proof staff. An unusually prolonged spell of cold, raw weather, added to the transportition strikes, is credited with greatly aggravating the epidem- ie. Two Prisoners Escape. Simeoe, ¥en. 25.---By sawing through two one-half inch bars in their cell door and five window bars about one inch square, two prisenérs made their escape in the early hours of morning. They were William Flock, sentenced to three years in penitentiary, and Frank Sutton, sen- tenced to eighteen months, both for theft.

ANGLIN & CO. The, Best Faith. Kingston, Feb. 24. -- (To the Edi- tor): dn Saturday's issue .you pub- |lished a letter from G. T. Holme- sted, an explanation of creed and church unity. A vety strange thing | we never hear anything from the R. C's side. Good. It shows they are studying more the Master than the earthly gods. The world is made up of different kinds and classes of hu- manity, some lovers of dogs, some lovers of different kinds of animals, some' lovers of 'Women, some lovers of men, ete., and some lovers of mon- ey. But we don't find many who are i real 'lovers of Almighty God. If se there would be no need of classing different churches by different names and different action towards our fel- low brethren of any Faith, The best faith, to my knowledge, in all parts of this planet I have tra- velled, is to fear no man, only trast and have faith 3 im ehty Gotl. The more we ponde the subject - ot Christ's words and actions properly, the more we see ourselves as worms of the earth in the flesh, not gods of the world, yet the soul of every man ruleth his mind if he has no faith in the true God. Therefore, I say, let every religion look at their own sins first before throwing stones at others, We who were taught the creed have it not to sell, but to practice. If peo- ple are blind, then they have never, had proper teaching.: A man who! trusts in the tru¢ God needs no teacher of earthly experience; he is self-taught. If people would. only stop and consider quietly instead of rushing at random as if the world depended on them, there will be plen- ty to take their place. Yours truly, | | | --A. B.
