An excellent meat- less supper was served by the ladies of the Red Cross, and was followed by a' timely. and prac- lical address by John GC: Kirk= wood, of Toronto, that was heard with the closest attention and thofoughly enjoyed.. F. 'W. Otton, President of the Board of Trade, presided, and there was an -at- tendance of over. sixty business and 'professional men.

Germans are not. an inventive people but they have a great power of adaptation and application, and- owing to the peculiar qualities of the people, they developed production with wonderful 'rapidity. Such pro- duction necessitated an outside market and 60. they built up an mercantile "marine Very rapidly. Germany standardized. its pro- ducts, built enormous factories (for 50 years ahead) and elim- indted waste. Germany's foreign: policy was dictated by its industrial need of raweMalerials.
