Sir Arthur Curric, commandâ€" ing the Canadian forees at the front, has sent Premier Border .a «cable eimmâ€" phasizing the need for reinforcement of the men at the front. "**Tlrey have given their blood freely ito maintain their mation‘s monor,"‘‘ he says, "**and now confidently expect that the full fruits of their service wl not be prejudiced."‘ mans had made a regular business of manufacturing poisoned eandy and having the soldiers distribute it amâ€" ong the children of Belguim. "*J »min a Pacifist on the subject of war, â€"on ordinary occasions,"‘‘ he said, there is no use talking back to a canâ€" ron or a fiend. One can charge off to war the burning of buildings, the blowing up of bridges, the destructâ€" ion of homes and towns, but the poisâ€" oning of wells, the ruin of trees, the rape of children, the torture of innoâ€" cent animals,â€"these are the acts of minds diseased of people who must be curbed in the interests of the rest of us." The shortage of fabriecs in â€" Gerâ€" many is heing seriously felt. Pulp shirts have become popular in Berlin stores, while the new German uniâ€" forms are being made of _ various fibres, which, however, prove uscless in â€" heavy weather. _ Water . soaks through them, they shrink arnd erumâ€" ble and fall easily into _ disrepair. Soap is also a great luxury in Gerâ€" many and Austria. Rev. E. M. Byssche, who went to France as the representative of the Methodist Board of Missions of New York to distribute $100,000 war relief funds raised ‘by the Methodists of the State, recently told a gathering of clergymen at New York that the Gerâ€" Ontario has been flooded with antiâ€" conscription pamphets and petitions to be signed against the proposed Military Service Act. The stuff is isâ€" sued y an organization ealling itself *The Patriotic League of Canadian Interests,""â€" with Cherdquarters in Montreal, Que. Major W. Napier Keefer, of Torâ€" onto, who was a surgeon in the Inâ€" dian Medical Service, and has medâ€" als for many campaigns, offered at the opening of the war to serve in any eapacity. On account of his age.} (he was born in 1844), he was only: thanked for the offer. He was not content with this, and sent $100,000 direct to the King to be used for war purposes in any way his Majesty thought best. This gift has just been allotted for various war chariâ€" ties and public thanks given to the zenerous donor, who, however, says he wants no‘ recognition other than the knowledge that he is doing what he can for the Empire. It* is men like Major Keefer that make Canaâ€" ’ l dians and others feel that there must be something about the very air of Toronto that prompts men to unusual loyal service and generosity.

Mayor Booker of Hamilton recently ereated a sensation by publicly deâ€" claring that the children born in Be.gmm through the rape of Belgian women by Germans should be painâ€" lessly destroyed. He advanced the opinion, he said, in the future interâ€" ests of the world of eivilization, and refused to retract or modify it. In this connsetion it is interesting to mnote that many such Belgian and French mothers have taken a similar view to that of the Hamilton Mayor, and destroyed the clhildren thus born. In at least one ease a French woman charged with the murder of a chiid born urder these premises was honâ€" orably acquitted by a French judicial court, and the verdict was given alâ€" most a worldâ€"wide popular endorseâ€" musont. c Sir Rodman Roblin, former Premâ€" ier of Manitoba, Hon. Geo. R. Coldâ€" well, and Hon. James H. Howden, forâ€" mer members of the Manitoba Cabâ€" inet, who have been under indictment in the Assize Court at Winnipeg for some months charged with conspiraâ€" cy in connection with the Manitoba Parliament Buildings sceandal, were discharged last week by Mr. Justice Pendergast, after letters hadâ€" been read from doctors to show that the former Premier was in such a critical state of health that his life might be endangered by his standing trial. The other two were also reported as in very poor health. A man who conducted a do‘ll faeâ€" tory in London, England, _ recently asked a military tribunal for exemptâ€" ion from the army, saying that he emâ€" ployed 60 people and was â€" rapidly capturing trade which was formerly controlled by Germany. If he were conscripted, he said, his omployees would be without jobs and the Gerâ€" mans would capture theâ€"trade after the war. His summons to serve was postponed for three months. Capt. J. F. Verville, of Montreal, recently married the Baroness Helen V an Der Gracht De Rommersvael, of Belgium, at London, England. He is a relative of Alphonse Verville, Labâ€" eral M.P. for Montreal.

But it is as unjust and unâ€" grateful to rob the men fighting and dying in our behalf of the ence‘‘ that should accompany the vote. The vote to most men is of lesâ€" ser importance than the influence that the vote. As Mtr. N. F, Davidson, of Toronto, points out in a letter to the daily newspapers, canâ€" didates are accustomed to emphasize the ‘*tinfluence‘‘ along with the "vote." If the soldiers were here to vote under ordinary corditions what an influence they would give to pubâ€" lie opinion from their knowledge and experience. If that single battalion from Quebec that Col. Arthurs spol\e about was back in the Province it is p()mhl@ that their ‘‘influence‘‘ might :du much to offset the vaporings of the Bourassas‘ and Lavergnes. As it would he under present conditions, the meanest rencgade at home would have both vote and influence while the bravest lad at the battle front | would only have the «vote. _ Mr. Davidson briefly but clearly puts the whole question into this short paraâ€" l graph :â€" It may ‘be that an election may be unavoidable in this country at this time, but those responsible for it must answer to the charge that they failed to play fair with the brave nen overscas.
