The platform of the Bonar Law Government may be summed up in three or four W(}rdsâ€"â€"less legislation and more tranquility for the nation. The Dichards will probably fall in line with the main body of the Conservaticeâ€"Unionist party â€"but up to the present time they have stood aloof from the Coalitionists, Lloyd George, and the parâ€" ent party. * ; The Liberal party is divided into at least two sectionsâ€"the Nationalists, who are opposed to Lloyd George, and the Independent Liberals, who probably favor Lloyd George. This division makes it almost impossible for the Liberal party to cut very much of a figure‘ in the coming election. Then, there is the Labor partyâ€"and it is very strongâ€"but one source of weakness in it is the fact that it is also divided into probably three sectionsâ€"the ‘Reasonables, ‘the Extremists; and the Socialists. 6 The party is composed of: first, the followers of the present Premier, the Right Honorable Andâ€" rew Bonar Law; there are a great many promiâ€" nent Conservativeâ€"Wnionists who still hold allegiâ€" ance to Lloyd George; an third, a section known as the ‘Dichards,‘ who were so strenuously opâ€" posed to Lloyd George‘s handling of the Irish question. i l Take, for instance, the Conservativeâ€"Unionist partyâ€"which seems to be the strong one in Great Britain at the momentâ€"it is divided into three sections. s _ FACTS The real trouble with politics in Great Britain at the present time is that it has so long been under a coalition Government that the party lines are not as tightly drawn as they formerly were, and in fact it will take some little time before party men find ‘their bearings once more. f If the regulation wen‘t into effect, therefore, it would be impossible for these steamship lines to hold this liquor, legally, on their liners after they had passed within the threeâ€"milé limit. f The British Elections The British newspapers are lamenting the fact that there is not sufficient direct cleavage between the political parties in Great Britain, in the forthcoming elections. This, of course, would be very inconvenient for all passengers for the United States and a ‘big talk‘ was kept going in the newspapers with the result that Washington backed down and decided the regulation was nonâ€"effective until a deâ€" cision of the Supreme Court is given upon it. A short time ago the United States Governâ€" Rent passed a regulation to the effect that any iessel belonging to any country could enter a JInited States port, legally, carrying intoxicating ‘quors aboard. By Frank Fairborn FANCIES This regulation caused considerable consternaâ€" fon amongst the owners of the steamship lines, n account of the fact that many of the big passâ€" nger liners have a bar on board and sell liquor » all comers.

Why Germany Lost the War A special Committee of Threeâ€"two military men and an historianâ€"was appointed some time ago to investigate the cause of the defeat of Gerâ€" many in ‘the Great War. This expert Committe was appointed by the German Government and its report has been preâ€" pared and will be presented to the Reichstag and published to the world within a short time. Already ‘the historian has given his opinion of General Ludendorf who, he claims, was ‘the allâ€" powerful force ha.ndling and driving the German armies throughout the whole conflict. s We, in this country, thought that Hindenburg was the ‘big noise,‘ but the historian shows that it was Ludendortf. â€"This historian points out that he does not think it will be possible for Germany to start another war of revenge in ‘the near future, as France anticipates, on account of the fact that it would not be possible for the military life of Germany to be again placed in the hands of so poor a stratagist as Ludendorf, and who still is the strong man in military circles. The historian says that the two military exâ€" perts on the Committee did their best to gloss over the faults of Ludendorf, on account of their symâ€" pathy with him as a military man, but he (the historian) had no such sympathy and conseâ€" quently comes out flatfooted and denounces many of Ludendorf‘s moves as great blunders and enâ€" tirely lacking in the strategical power that should be the attribute of a great military general. â€"The German historian states that while Ludenâ€" dorf‘s men were starving, footsore and weary fron{? the lack of supplies which were far in the rear, the British soldiers had all kinds of suppli right at handâ€"in fact in the latter part of th war had almost more than they required, of every kind of food and munitions. , Great Britain is probably the greatest nation in the world in this respect. In almost every war/in which she has taken part in the past two hundâ€" red years her supplies were always right up with her men, and this is why the British Tommy can stand the stress and strain of a nerveâ€"racking war so wellâ€"food and clothing and lots of equipment puts backbone into a soldier. | The historian gives many instances of where the German armies, by brilliant attacks and by fierce speed, smashed through the enemy in its great drives and made it appear, at first, as if it was actually going to achieve a great winâ€"but in every one of these cases the drive dwindled out and the position of the German army was no better in the end than it was at the beginning. It has been pointed out many times that the United States as at present constituted and as constituted in the past, never could win a great warâ€"although she probably has as brilliant fightâ€" ing men as there are in the world. . This historian blames Ludendort, in very severe language, for this lack of strategical acumen and points out that he never should have made, what the historians claim as, drives at impossible points, on account of the fact that it was utterly impossible to supply his ‘armies with food and equipment owing to the speed at which the fightâ€" ing forces travelled. These criticisms of Ludendorf may be just, or they may not beâ€"but what they prove is a fact, and that most conclusively, that has been demonâ€" strated over and over again in the wars of the pastâ€"that it is food and ammunition and supplies of all kinds that win, rather than the fighting force of the men themselves. But the United States has always fallen down in her military movements through the fact of never being able to get food and supplies quickly enough to properly care for her armiesâ€"the. beef and bread trains were always a hundred miles behind the soldiery, and while the fighting men were famishing for want of food trainloads of it was going to waste far in the rear. The historian especially méntions the drive of ‘the German forces which to0oK place in the early part of 1918, and. my readers ‘all remember our anXxicesgsmmeasa@nada and , Iy aligmg@vck Day after day all Britishers lived in fear and trembling that the Germans would succeed in forcing their way through to the Channel, and turn the flank of the British armies. But, just when a brilliant success seemed about to crown the efforts of the German forces the drive dwindled down and in due time fell back; and never again were the Germans in a position to drive a wedge into the forces opposing them. The German historian points out that the cause of the failure of this great drive made by the German army, under Ludendorf‘s instruction, was due to the one fact of its being so forceful and rapid that the transports could not keep up and bring forward food and ammunition quickly enough to back up the soldieryâ€"with the conseâ€" quence that in every case the fighting had to fall back, or starve, either for food or ammunition. â€" success of that driveâ€"up to 3 certain point. THE INDEPENDE Lots of men think they are tolerant simply beâ€" cause they haven‘t character enough to form conâ€" victions. In my opinion the entirely just, and I proposition . to col movements with tho forces. If humans only knew what was ahead of them they might enploy their time better than shoving and squealing and trying to squeeze into the place that belongs to some person else. . At best we‘ve only got a short trip ahead of us, and we ought to know a mile more than the pigs. Wonder what an Irishman says when his small boy asks him what peace is. The pigs didn‘t know anything a:bout thisâ€"so they were busy squealing and shoving. A writer in the New York Times calls attenâ€" tion to this observation of Joseph Doddridge in his "Notes on Indian wars from 1763 to 1783" on the question: It sometimes happened, after the apparent onset of winter, the weather became warm; the smoky time commenced and lasted for a considerable number of days. This was the â€" Indian summer, because it afforded the Inâ€" dians another opportunity of visiting the setâ€" tlements with their destructive warfare. The melting of the snow saddened every counâ€" tenance, and the genial warmth of the sun chilled every heart with horror. The appreâ€" hension of another visit from the Indians, and of being driven back to the detested fort, was painful in the highest degree, and the distressing apprehension was frequently realized. * & "The smoky time"â€"the hazy, mild days that often succeed the first cold weather. There was a balminess about the days just past that is absent from Indian summer days, which have an oxonic tang to them with now and again a nip of frost for relish. They are days to be out in the openâ€"to be swinging down byways and through woodlands. They are tonic days beyond comâ€" pare. Indian summerâ€"it is a glorious interlude in the harmony of the seasons. ‘ * , A look at the label on the car would show they were going to the stockyards at Toronto.

Better weather one could not wish for, but they were not Indian summer days â€"not by some few weeks and not by some deâ€" grees in tmperature. They were somewhat more of the measure of real summer; they were not the Indian brand. + The very fact that ‘the German army, on \the fields of France and Flanders, withstood the comâ€" bined efforts of France and Great Britain and other‘ countries for four years is proof positive that the generalship of Ludendorf was such as should reéflect great credit upon any military man. I think, therefore, that the criticisms made by the historian against Ludendorf are scarcely fair or just. 6 THEY DIDN‘T KNOW INDIAN SUMMER blame Ludendorf for e army in 1918 and ?L-ot horses and the was short of motor cking gasolineâ€"and ie case in the great _ The British forces a,l days and as théy came forward with v_ylithout saying that ck onto their own termans were hourâ€" ource and base. f the French army supply, had she not ndous resources of i’érf was constantly @aking the drives; ?;way from his base _and French, even 12 driven onto their iticizing Ludendortf es or drives made e been conducted in t way.

No â€"other business is closâ€" ed down tight in order that the heads thereof may go off to conventions, and it is high time ‘the provincial board of education, who are responsible for this absurdity, made a change.

NOTES AND COMMENTS on CURRENT EVENTS BY PETER PETERKIN "And Peter went out and wept bitterly."* Peter had been in wrong, but he was now out right.. He hgd been in wrong from the time he boasted he would die with Jesus to the time when he shiveringly sat down in the servants‘ hall, along with a crowd of scoffers, and in full sight of hig Lord lied about his alâ€" legiance to Jesus Christ. But now he was out. Look here, my brother of today, who have been following Jesus afar off and running in among the heedless throng for good fellowship as you call it. You have caught yourself concealing your heavenly birth and citizenship more than once in such company, haven‘t you You have used bad language with the rest, haven‘t you? qflf)fit ob fiags And what is the remedy? Get out.. Yes, do as Peter did, go out. Separate yourself from that sort of association. And once out, God help you to weep bitterly. But then, I am bidding you do what naturally you cannot do. It was a look of Jesus that made Peter go out and weep bitterly. â€" But if you will look at Christ as Peter did He will look at you and then you will get out of that despicable crowd and then the tears will surely come on account of your despicable conduct. + Oh my brother Christian, now in wrong, I pray you get out right. ; y ; : *Luke 22:62.

He then enumeratâ€" ed the list of cases, which include 3 charges of murder, 3 of manslaughter, 1 of sedition and 1 of receiving. The manslaughter cases, arising out of auto accidents, he referred to as the result of al;;l evil of increasing provaâ€" lency that needed the very strictest atten‘tion. § Lawyerâ€""A while ago you sâ€"id your husband died a natural death. and now you say he was run over by a motor car."

However, he has increased largely the cost of electricity to Onâ€" tario consumers.
