WHAT CANADA IS DOING

l'ndcr thc caption. liosten Siowiy. the Guardian in a

rt~<~cnt issue rt-fcrretl to thc difficulties in the way of rush- ing inen fully equipped to the front. The Toronto Daily News commenting on tht- same subject says: -

The Government is criticized for not having 100,000

mon undcr arms, The impossible could not be achieved in so short n time. lip to the very outbreak of war ex- pcndilurcs on the militia were strongly opposed. if it was proposed to march n rcgimcnt across country it was objected that thc popluacc would be infected with the mili- tary mania. When llrltish \Var Office experts advised the purchase of cannon, machine guns, rifles and equipment. nicnibers oi' Pzxrllamcnt were cxhoried to prevcnt such foolish waste of money.

Military titles and uniforms were held tip to ridicule

as out of dale in thc lwcnticth century. \Ve were informed that it was useless to prepnrc against u German menace which did not cxlsl. An imaginary emergenty had passed with thc morning mists. Canada was assured that an- other ct-ntury of pcacc was in store for her. General French‘s visit to the Dominion and his suggestions for strengthening thc militia wt-rc condemned as one of the worst misfortunes that ever befell Canada.

As a natural consequence of all this wisdom poured

out month after month in pacifist newspapers. both Sir Frederick Borden and Major-General Hughes found it diffi- cult to do as much as they wished for the militia. Both did something, and the present Minister a great deal ln ex- tending and modernizing the service. If there had been more time still more would have been accomplished but the war found us lacking in arms. ammunition and equip- ment. and in machinery for their speedy production. The Ross rifle factory at once began running 24 hours a day. The United States and other neutral countries were ran- nacked for weapons, but still the supply was and ls short. Considering these and other obstacles, the Government achieved marvels in getting such a large and well-equipped body of men as the first contingent away to Europe in no

abort a time.

,I need only ,remind you that _Canned " Lobster to-tiay is a luxury. No extra demand for a luxury can be created in times like the present: therefore Canned Lobsters will have to be brought down to its food value in order to effect a quick sale. A pound'of meat at 20c. is admittedly better than a pound of lobster as a food. Still 20c. per pound is only equal to $9.60 per case of 48 lbs. to the consumer and after paying the retailers' and whole- salers' pronts, commissions, freight, labels, and ‘all other expenses the net

if conditions warranted these could yet be legally tendered and delivered to their customers. Most of"=them realized early in the war that no slight reduction can increase their sales to- day. They saw that a lmlf flat tin in, America would have to be reduced _ten cents per tin in order to increase the demand. That meant a reduction of -it

$9.60 per case. They believed the aver- age packer’s profits in 1914 were not excessive and that their expenses could not be much reduced under pre- sent packing conditions so that ths difference would have to come from the price paid to the fishermen.

too cheaply. They did not believe the flshermen would be willing to accept such a reduction. Perhaps they were wrong. However. thesc holders did not wish to sacrifice their goods un- duly; consequently thc stocks are still being held. These buyers, however, ` arc not likely to be the greatest suf- ferers if packing continues next sea- ; sou. Take for example a man who may be holding 1,000 cases. llc may lose $10,000; but if packing is resumed as usual he would be likely able to , buy ten to fifteen thousand cuses next year on which he-.as a buyer-can get sufficient to cover that loss, because the price will be brought down to a ~ speculative level and goods could be held for recuperation of the markets, The packcr and the fisherman can hardly see the same chances ahead for them. Therefore because a buyer ud- vocates a close season, do not consider his argument is based solei unon nie

English rough is a quieter, less boastful person than 1_1 German "gentleman," that his attitude towards women is, on the whole, more chivalrous and considerate than that oi' the average German gentleman."

NOTES

Among the other possessions of the Germans is that

ofa divine, sacred language. A Berlin newspaper says that if Germany wins in the present war German will be- come the world language, The paper adds: "On all men the German language acts as a blessing. which, coming directly from the hand of God, sinks into thc hea'rt and cnnobles lt." Evidently the modern German docs not need to say the Scotsman's prayer: "Lord, give us a good con- ceit of ourselves," being already surcharged with it to the bursting point.

An ingenious prevarlcator in a United States exchange

thus burlesques the boasts of the German wnr corres- pondents:-"The Krupps have invented a new gun which is much larger than the human mind can conceive. It throws its missiles so far that the Kruppa merely wheel it out ln the back yard of their factory and it is on the firing line. lt will throw three ions of steel 433 miles and 20 yards and when it explodes it kills all the men and vegetation within a five-mile radars. After it fires three missiles it is useless, but the Germans have 987 of these guns, and calculate the war will be over after the guns are used. lf the worst comes to the worst, a varied as- sortment of Wagner's operas will be rolled up in a'blg bundle and fired with one fell swoop at the whole French

army. The effect will be horrible.

While the larger holders have not

yet sacrificed _their goods by any material reduction in prices, still we learn of sales of reported good qual- ity A flats being marie in Toronto nt $12.00 and oi some within thc last fortnight in Montreal at $10.00. One of,0ur ne\\»spnpers,told us that Lob- sters from Newfoundland were being sold at $4.75. Now, I don‘t lit-licve that yet, although we_do know that nhere are about 10,000 cases of that colony’s puck to be added in the tig- ures we -have mentioned of C-tnndian lobsters now unconsunted. With I-'ng ltsb,housss refusing to buy, they too are looking to New York, Boston and Chicago to take them.
