(Special to the Guardian.)
L0ND0N. Feb. 25.-Gerniaiiy's silh-
marine warfare against British ship- ping has entered a new phase.
lt is reported tiiat Germany is
sending a iiotilia oi' trawlers into the North Sea to plant mines up and down the British coast. if the Gerlnaus undertake mining operatioils along the edge of the war zone the work will probably be carried oil at nigiit owing to tho vigilance of air and sea fleets
patrolling thc coast waters. German activity is increasing. ’I`lle British Isles seem to be ringed with German submarines. ’l`lie Germans are dis- playing skill in handling submarines which is astoniuiiing liaval circles. The crews of many ships that have been torpedocd report seeiilg no iles- tiie craft. Extra precautions are being taken to guard the ports following thc torpedoilig of ti vessel close to her pier at Folksionc.

ln the absence oi’ the President. the
Vice-Presldeiit. Mr Edgar Giddiiigs, occupied the chair. The first speaker was the Hon. Murdoch Mcliinuon, Commissioner of Agriculture. After congratulating the coliiniittee on the excellence oi’ the Fair, he spoke on co-operation and the benefits that acrrued from it. Ile pointed out that the Seed Fairs had done a great deal to further co-operatioii, at least iii the matter of soiling. He pointed out that an immense amount of money went away every year for seeds that should bo purchased at home. l-le thought the Farmers liistitutes might well bear this in mind and buy among themselves where it was necessary.
This Seed Fair is the outcome of
the organisation of the institute. it has made great inlprovenient, and 1 believe will make still more in the future. At the meeting of the Dairy. men's Association lieid iii Charlotte- town last Monday, several ot' the farmers told of having doubled the amount of milk without having iii- creased the number of cattle and ex- pected to make still furtiier improve- ment.
The Egg Circle movement has made
great advancement in the province. bl-it You are all acquainted with it. Some years ago our eggs oil the Mou- treai market were very inferior, to-day they are the best going lo that market. At Ottawa they consider tiiat better work has been dolle here than any- where else alid they have now three permanent men in tiils province and two temporary mon. and they have their hands full and are liable to have all the .work they can do this summer. Now the worlttiiat has been doile ill this line can he done in other lilies, if only wo make up our minds to do it.
in l’ulliler Road the Instituto sold
1000 lalnbs one day and got the best price that was paid in the province. Further. the fanuors delivering' all their lambs iii one day led to friendly rivalry. with the result that the fourth year tho lambs averaged 10 lbs more ill weight than the ilrsi year.
llc thcn told the provision the Live
Stock Brancli was making to encour- age horse breeding. Under certain clnditlons the Live Stock Branch will pay one quarter of the service fee of mares. Full information can he had by applying to tile Live Stock Branch.
lie also spoke at consiilerable length
oil Agricultural Education, pointing out that more attention is now being given to nature study than ever bei'ore inVi.iie_ schools ami that even more will be given to it in the future. Next
spring nlally children in every part of the Province will be growing seeds and similar work as n part of their regular school work.
\Vouiell`s iiistitutcs, too, were hav-
ing a vcry beneficial influence oil the education of the province, not only in improving the coliditioii oi' the school buildings aild other property. lint also in improving the whole system..
Tile Rev. J. (.‘. Murtiii. of Cardigan,
was the next speaker. lie told of the organisation ol' a co-operative store in Wisconsin seine years ago, with 67 members, with ri capital of 6,700, ami to-day they have a capital of $25,000. _ ills' subject was. however, Patriot- lslii ami l’roductioii. lie pointed out that there were now about 15,000,000 men oil the firing line. The United Kingdom had about 500,000, perhaps inure. We believe our cause is riglit_ ami that we shall will. We lnust do our duty even ut great sacrifice.. hir l\lartill's address was inucli above ordinary. and nn extended report will appear later ill thc Magazilic Guar- diaii.
Tile ltcv. A. ll. l\lc.\’eili was the next
speaker. i~le spoilt- of the excellent work that was being done by the De- partment ol' Agriculture and the per- sonal inierest the 'llliiiiiiiissioiiei' was taking in everything pertaining to agriculture. The Egg (‘.il°cic had made a great iiuprovciiieiit ill this section, and he believed that iii other sections the choose factories were doing similar work.
He thought e`veryollc should do all
possible to increase their productions this year.
Rev. il, \\'. ;\lcC.iltclleeli spoke next.
He thought the farmers should co- operate more than they had boeil doing.
'i‘rot'. itoss spoilt- lic.i'i on Lilo i’lltl°iol~ isln and i'l‘odllctl'oli colllpnigll. and pnillicd iiill that l{iicllcllcl"s forces rlcpeliili.-tl largely for their oiiiciclicy on Burl'cll's nlld l\‘icl{illlloli`s i`orecs.
The next speaker was A. ir. Fraser.
cx-M.i'., Sollris. ill: expressed groili plczlsllro ut being prosclil. llc dwelt on the ililporitllicc oi' collscrvilig thc fertility oi the soil. illicllsive farltlillg is the fnrniiiig of thc future and the niull who can help along this niovc- lncnt is n benefactor to the nation.
To-day there are only t\vo classes in
the Elupirc~-patriots or traitors. We must relncluhcl' that our boys have gone to iight i'or our lionics, and ll' Germany siiouid will our titles to our homes would be like lust week’s paper.

OTTAWA. Feb. 25.-“No nlore dis-
honest, ne more dislioiiorable, no iuore unfair statement was ever made by it public man. it is absolutely untrue." This wasrthe vigorous language which lion. Robert Rogers used ill the House to-night denouncing a recent state- illent of Prof. Adam Shortt, (liiairnlan of the Civil Service (Iolniiiissioii, which \vas repeated by Holi. William Pugs- ley, to the effect that the Government had made two thousand dlsniissais sillcc it came into ofilce and had made no less than tell thousand appoint- lilents. This statement of Dr. Shortt has been heralded all over the country, and has aroused the deepest indigna- tion in Goverliiileiit circles for the reusoli that Dr. Shortt has taken no account of either deaths or resigna- tioiis. As a lilatter of fact. wlicn they are iakell illto consideration the growth oi' the civil service since the Conservatives came into power has been only a normal growth.
To-night was the first opportunity
that a minister has had in the llouse to challenge the statement of Dr. Sliortt and Mr. Rogers lost no time when Mr. Pugsley was proceeding to make political capital ollt of it to interpose with a vigorous denial.
“Take the returns ill my own de-
partnlent," said Mr. Rogers. “tiicre have been 507 dismissais, 700 resigna- tioils, and yet Mr. Sliortt pays no nt- tention to the latter."
Mr. Rogers' statement was gmt-icii
with enthusiastic cheers by the f‘oii- servatives who have bitterly resented the iliiputatioiis oi’ the (fliairiiinii ol' the Civil Service (Ioniliiissioii. 'l‘lic deniai 0l` Mr. Rogers caliie in lilo course ol' the speech ol' Mr. Pugslcy on the budget debate.
