WHY WE \SHALL WIN- I

The three determining factors of this war are men,

money and shells. (_,`erlain facts are of such common kiio\vlcdge that they can be disputed. The available man power still rcinaining as a potential reserve s nnicli greater withjhe Allies than with the Téutons.

than to the Allies, though no_t so immensely greater as is stated in some quarters. Obviously the available man power is enormously in favour of the Allies. _

Again, the Allies ,have unquestionable financial

superiority. British commerce is practically unmolcst- cd. More than 98 per cent. of the British and French inbound and outbound boats reach their destination.

that she buys abroad (and she is unquestionably get-

for, not in exchange of merchandise, but in cash ;and :ind she nnist, in addition, pay for the supplies pro- duced at home with cash drawn entirely from thc internal resourcesl '

As to shells and munitions, Germany from the out-

set has had a great superiority. She had stored 'up

possible way for their rapid production. But she cannot hope, by herself, to cope with the COI1liI1l10llS production of all otlierimportant countries combined, and s_uch a combination is practically pitted against her. Through British control of the seas, the`Allics have the markets and factories of the world at their

tiinious stream of munitions and supplies. Germany will be as successful in stemming such a tide as the old- woinan was in sweeping back the ocean with her broom. ' r*

. just one instance will be cited to show the differ-

ence made by the increased supply of shells. Last winter the Allies began a determined offensive in .-\rtois and in thc Champagne. In Artois th_e lighting was particularly desperate for possession of Loos with the surrounding hills which dominate both the city of Loos and the approaches to it. This offensive to take at position of immense importance continued for several months, but was unsuccessful and finally' died ont. Nine months later, at the same points, the Allies succeeded, and they succeeded in three days whcrc two months continuous fighting before had failed. \\'|iy? llccause nine months later they were superior to llic Germans in shells, artillery and the like. '

And in Russia as soon as the supplies of shell

became adequate the German advance stopped. Time after time the Russian army bar'ely escaped, but they were always conipcllcdto fall back for lack of shells. Now it is reversed and (icrmany is falling back.

Already thc Allies are far superior in available'

man power. and money power. 'l`o-day they are equal, or cvcn slightly superior, at some points, to the (iernian forces in shell power. They are steadily and regularly gaining in shell power. f

Daily (iermany is weakening in all three of these

vital powers, and daily thc Allies are growing stronger, in :it least two of thcin. (icrlnany and her allies are doomed beyond doubt. The only qticstion is, how long will the rest of the world have to wait?, It does not seein as though it could be so very long."

ENTERTAINMENT . _

(ln behalf of the " young and rising -generation ”

extra efforts are being put forth these days to ensure that they “ shall be trained in the way they should go,” in order that “ when they gmw old they shall not depart from it," and, more especially, that they shall not depart from their homes. It lias, in some un- accountable way, got into the public consciousness that the young people of this generation are not being sufficiently entertained and that, for,want of this par- ticular form of nourishment, they are obliged to go clscwhcrc, to go' where there is life and movement and pleasure. _ ” To put the matter plainly,\thc idea _is a mischievous one and should bc sternly discouraged. There is no lack of entertainment; on th`e contrary, there is too much of it, the craving for it has been encouraged by pandcring to it and by keeping the need of it ever- lastinglyfheforc the young. Our mental. needs are, after all, similar to our physical needs

_,Jn order to be mentally healthy the mind inustt

be as carefully dieted as' the body which we desire to make healthy. A child fed on sweets instead of strong, wholesome, nourishing diet will soon lose its appetite for the latter and become dyspeptic,`anae'mie and a 'ir/eakling, the craving for sweets and §‘agpe tizerl "increases and his physical life' is wrecked

_Service cornesiirst, and the ehildétrained for service, -.

,useful service, service that w`ill_n`1alte the world the -better for his having given it, will not worry so much over entertainment, nor leave his home because it has grown too dull. 'He may leave it‘ because the service- he can best give is not possible there, because he cannot be as useful there as he could be elsewhere. “ Labour, though the primal curse, has been softened into inercy,’~’ said the poet, and most people have found this -o_u_t_ for themselves. The children should be taught tit_sufi‘icicntly early to enable them to profit by it. The

A gtrue labourer finds his pleasure in his work and takes

his recreation as he takes his condiments and his little tasty extras with his meals, not as necessary nourish- ment, but to give taste and zest to his wholesome food, and those desifing healthy bodies take them very - Sparingly. I

We coinplain of the dulness of life for our boys

and girls attending school or college, and in our sym- pathy \vc make what provision we can for their nightly entcrtaiiiiiiciit. Home, in these provisions,`is usually forgotten; There should be enough usefulness, and pleasure in usefulness, for the evenings at honfe, but in thc madness of our chase for cnlcrtaiiiinent the home is placed incthe category of “ dull places.” True there are those whose attendance in school or college necessitates their being absent from home. Ij`or these,

(lcrmany’s commerce is totally destroyed. Everything 'pm-ticulm-ly, provision Should be made, _and there .is

room for such in Charlottetown. ‘But in the exercise of our sympathies in this direction we should not forget that they have their .duties in their temporary homes, that they have their school work, their life’s work, whatever it may be, and that more time should be devoted to tha.t.than to entertainment. And to rcturn to the point at which we began, thc injunction 'to “train up a child ” was given to thc parents, to the home. This is where the real training begins, where the real foundations are laid, where future successes and failures are provided for. The thing to remember is that the “ chief end of man” or woman is service. In thc"Shortcr Catechism it is expressed in another form, but the meaning is the same.

_ Cl VIS CANADAE SUM

Sonic thick-headed American writer of editorials

declares that we cannot expect a reasonable theory on the cause of the war from any of the bclligercnts, says an exchange. We are too much disturbed to think logically, he says, and British opinion is no better than German opinion. The idea that we Canadian people are running about in circles and foaming at the mouth like mad dogs because of the war is fasci- nating in its originality. Let no American iniagiiic that we are lighting and spending blindly. If we were not British thc ravaging of Dinant, Louvain anda score of other llclgian townsiwould justify our inter- vention. We are frcefpeoplc ii_i` Canada. We know the meaning of Democracy. \’Ve must light as our fathers before us did against thc red tyranny of auto- cratic governmcnt and against ‘a militarism which makes of officers and 'men inerc swinish beasts. But* we are British and proud of the Land which mothcred Freedoni for all the world. When Germans attack Britain they attack also the most' remote hamlet in the Canadian Northwest.
