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.

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

_used as one reasonagainst the sugges-

that most of their goods were sold and

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. This
means about -ic. per pound off what-

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

that our “roughs" compare favourably in all the essentials
of civilized behaviour, and sentiment with the most polish-
ed representatives of German culture. I mean that an
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.
