interest for Canadians this week in that th: Germans chose tne Canadian \u2018front for a severe attack.After suvh u bombardment with henvy shells, as the official reporter says was never known till the last six months, the German infantry attacked the sector that had Leen upheaved by their shells until there was hardly a ventige .\u20ac trench left, and captured threes thou- san yards, or nearly two miles of the front line.In doing so they took three hundred and fifty Canadisn prisoners, smong whom was tieneral Victor Wil liams.The Canadians were cut off by = hail of shells sent over their heads y possibility of à retreat.We can count on their having charged a high price for their mpture.Early in the morning the Canadians, by @ series of counter charges, recaptured most of the ground lost.The men engaged in this action seem to rave most.rifle corps who have been turned into infantry.The Princess Patricias were aguin ia the thick of the fray.losing theie colonel, while Major Gsult waa again wounded for the third or fourth time.The result of the battle is that with unimportant adjustments the isns bold their line and have given the Germans one more lesson in the game ef \u201cbull in the ring\u201d that they wre playing, proving again that the eir- cle of bayonets with which Germany is surrounded can meither be broken nor wore then momentarily bent.The losses fu killed aad woünded have been cx- teptionslly heavy, the list of ofticers siome amounting to almost a hundred, so that the omstmlities.song the uen must bave totalled about two thousand.Each part of the large circle that bews fn the Germans has to be.able to bear the Weck of the hemmed-in Germans, and, it coming to the turn of ths Cana.diana, they have mobly borne their part, and shown the Germans that theirs 1s pot the part of the line at which to look for success.A Sea Fight So overpowering was the news of one event of the week that all the rest is overwhelmed and cast into the shade by it.On the afternoon of the Slst.of May, the British blockading fleet, under Admiral Sir David Beatty, sighted an unusually large aggregation of German naval ships off th\u20ac Jutlsad coast, in a neighborhood where il seems & smaller number had been in the habit of lying eurrounded by a thick mine Geld.These ships steamed out and gave battle.Sir David Beatty, fighting bard as he retired seaward, so as to keep as large a portion of them engaged as possible, telegraphed Admiral Sir John Jellicoe, head of the main fleet, for aesistance.Admiral Beatty's ships were first engaged at 3.30 o'clock on the afternoon of Wednesday, May 3lst.The German feet followed the British a hundred miles to sea, doing great damage, as its ships far outnumbered the British.At leet Admiral Jellicoe's supporting squadron hove in eight and from that time on, though the Germans were still in superior numbers, they recognized that they were defeated and otarted for shelter, fighting as they retired.The British losses were very heavy, and it was » great shock when, on Friday noon, they were announced to the world in all their tragic awfulness, with no ameliorating assertion of German losses Leing anything like as le.ge.As the first announcements came it appeared that six large British ships bad been sunk, with practically all hands, one of them, the \u201cQueen Mary,\u201d being ae powerful « cruiser battleship es there is in the British navy, while only one or two important German ships had gone down.Eves today, five days after the battle, no one outside of Germany knows what the true aecount of the affair was: but the British estimates of the (lerman losses have grown largely until today'e official account eays: \u201c From such evidence ne has come \u201cte our

nothin: that it contains touches an the right and wrong of Creat Rei.tam home at war, or of Canada benz at war.li Rritain and Canada are doing what 1s right.and te do otherwise wand be doing wrong, all questions as to whether it is costing money that we would like to spend on ourselves are worse than futile.When Germany set wut iter long planning, disguised by tbe baceat pretences of friendship, to conquer her neighbors and dominate the world, there was no question at sll as to what it was right, aot only for her neighbors.but for all the nations to do.1t was the duty of all peace lavers to unite in putting 8 check upon her purpose and protecting the liderties of the world.Should Great Britain, aa our vorceapondent strangely imagines -pos- sible, or the United States or Russie, set aut to conquer the world, it would vquelly be thy duty of all nations to unite to put a stop to such lawlessnons.We may therefore sel aside at once the implied question whether we ought to be spending the money or not.Great Britain, and we with her, had no honorable choice.Those nations which declined this duty lt la mot for us to judge.There is one who judges and whase awards in good ar evil are in

sources né wealth: arable land, foreats, mines and fisheries.Our mining wealth has been growinz at a great rate.Instead of exhausting iteell by the petering out of work mines it hévomen steadily more extensive through the discovery of new and bigger propositions.In 1886 the value of mineral products of (ansda was only ten million dol : in 1K03 it liad berome tweñty milion dollars, and in 1808 it had again doubled to forty million dollars; in 1908 it had aoubled again and become eighty million dollars, while in 1913 it stood at one hundred and forty million.During these } ™HE GERMAN VOTE.\u201cALL DRESSED UP, AND NO PLACE 10 60\u201d Life,\u201d X.Y.- Canada hus rapidly incressed, but nol in proportion lo the increase of ite mmersl output In 1834 the output was only {woe dollars and a quarter per head of population, wherear in FHS 10 bad visen to cighteen dollars and seventy-five cents per lead ol population.The silver, nickel.popper and gold mines af Ontario, the conl mines of Nova Sentia, aud the cost, vopper and gold mines of British Col- umbié are the important factors of the merease.This has been insignificantly offset hy a decline in the output of the mines of the Yukon, which were at their maximum wm 100].bince the war began the demand for copper, zine, lead and nickel nave been in excess of what the demand for these mineral» was in days of peace; the demand for iron has also been very heavy.la zine only has the new demand created new mining methods, A great deal of ore containing zine, that was before the war being used for the extraction of ite lead content, ia now being used for its zine cpnteat, there being no way yet devised by chemists whereby bota the lead and the zine can be separatéd aml saved A Proposal\u2019 So far Canada lias done nothing officially to «discover snd make use of her mineral wealth, this work being left to prospectors and luck: A man throwing ha hammer on the ground and hearing it ring against the rock whieh it struck.as if the rock were made of metal, discovered the fabulous wealth of the Cobalt région.la British Columbia thuusands of poor and little edu: cated men pick up their hammers and their grub-packe every spring and start off into the hills\"in an unorganized and ratier haphazard search after the wealth hidéen in the ground.A bill has been introdured into the British Columbia Legislature to make a first step in giving aid and orgarization to the industry.It is proposed tha.a government department be started which WMI Lave two functions, to ex- Ame such finds as are known.and to open trails or roads to such mining districts as may be found to be of suf frrient talus to warrant the undertaking.and to such districts as the ex- parts believe will probably develop enough wealth in the near future, \u2018Liete is very much to be said for this new venture.Take for example the case of iron in British Columbia; it is « greatly ne del miners! on the west ern const, and iron ore does exist in a number of lwalities, sometimes in the torm of magnetite, sometimes as hematite, and sometimes as hog iron.À niuniber of claime have been staked out.On some of these a slight preliminary investigation lias heen made, and one at cast is being actively worked and the ore shipped to the United states.|t is, lionerer, not yet known titat there in enough available ore in British Columbia to make it worth while setting np iron furnaces: nobody is going to run the risk of putting in furnaces until they are assured suff.cient ore.On the other hand, those who own the iron mines do not see their way to épending the very considérable sums that would be necessary thoroughly to prove their holdings until furnaces shall be estahtishec.and there is a certainty that their are will be salable if it develops! Consequently.the iron industry hangs fire.To Pay Taxes The provines bas another incentive to éearch for and find ita mineral wealth.The mines, now in operation ther?ace producing thirty million dollars worth of ore a year.A large part of this vaine in needed ta pay for the installation of plant and wages, but there is a larg: surplus of profit with which, did the province own ite own mines, it could pay alt its running expenses.In eo much an the existent mien are only a small fractional part of the mineral wealth that lies near the surface nf the ground in British Columbia awaiting discovery, the province might.by etopuinz the privilege of staking out mining claims and sending out its own experts acquire a wealth that would make it affluent.There may be some who suppose that the geological survey, run by the Do miniom Government, is engaged in this work.It 6 nat so engaged, its mem.hers are not looking for minerals, nor are they allowed to stake any claims they may find in their own names or in the names of their friends.They are avoiding the actual search for wealth, simply mapping the stratification of the rocks and soils so that'Bthers may know where to search.They are preparing the ground for such & commission ap British Columbia wants insugurated, and doing it very thoroughly.How It Works .Neo better sample coulé Mave been given the people of Cadèda ai to the possibilities, for success of the addition of e working mines branch to the pro.viacial governments, or to the Dominion government for work on the Deminion lands of the north, than was given by the recent search of tbe Conservation Commission for mineral phosphates.When (German fertilisers were shut off by the war, écientiets of ability were set to And where in Canads mineral phosphate could be secured, and within a few weeks they had accomplished their purpose.Looking over geological maps of Canada and the Unitsd Blays, they eaw ghere phosphates were betig mined in the United States closest to Cea: ads; they estutinised carefully the given in maps and books uf the Amer- ivan geological survey: then they set to work to look through the records of the Canadian geological survey for a similar foræation avd located ome in the Rock ies.Un going to the ground, they tound the formation Following ita line of juncture with the underlying strate they found.sa they expected, a layer of mineral phosphate between the two, just as it appeared hundreds of miles to the south in the United Ktates.What experte of the geological survey can de with phosphate, they can also de with coal, with aluminum clays, with iron beds.and tu x lesser degree with copper, which on the Western Cosst only appears in considerable quantity os the edge of the Vancouver eeries.The Only Way Even such a brief sunmary of the case in favor of à scientific mining branch must contain reference to the Copper Mine River dwtriet.Almost with the discovery of the Hudson's Bey \u2014and that was shortly after the dus covery of the continent-native copper wes known to exist in that region.The Indisns and Faquimaux had ltchets and spear heads hammered out of blocks of copper.In the very early days some search was made in this district for the source of this copper, the search meeting with very litble success.Quite recently an expedition went up there and disoovered that thers was a large ares thousands of miles in extent, aver which native copper could he picked up from the ground by diligent search.Dr.Dougise, one of the most noted geolo- rida of the continent, who wrote & report of this expedition, declared the otrata covering the district to be a8 out crop of the same geological formation as that in which the great copper mines of Michigan exist, such es the Calumette and Heckla, oniy very much larger than the Michigan field.He gave it as bis opinion that the Cans- dian Government should take it as à federal mine field and build a road to open it up.It is practically certain that it cannot be opened up by individual cnterprise; indead it cannot even be prospeeted by private enterprise.for no individual would prospmt more than his own claim.and would not prove that unless definite promise of 2 roa was given.This is a cass in which «ther the government must act or the wealth lc idle.Too One Sided The overwhelming victory of the Liberals in the provincial elections for Quebec had many eerious drawbecks and some very distimet advantages.That Mr.Cousineau, the homest and energetie leader of the Comservative opposition, was defeated is a distinct loss to the province.Mr.Cousineau has, during his lesdership, done much good work.Among other things, be opposed that very motorious bill by which the Quehee Legisiature empowered the municipalities of Quebec to devote part of their school funds to a campaign in favor of the French language in the echools in Ontario.Indeed.it was to this one of the axe of his politicel career that his overwhelming defeat was largely\u201d due.Besides this, Mr.Cousineau recognized the existence of much corruption in the public life of Quebec against which no prosecution wes directed.He did what he could to force Sir Lomer Gouin.who holds the portfolio of Attorney-General, to pra.secute malefactors, as the \u201cWitness\u201d was continually urging should be dose, but with little success.A possibly more vital loss to the province than the loss of Mr.Cousinesu is the reduction in the aumber of the Conservative minority.Previous to the election the count stood approximately sixty Liberals to eighteen Conservatives, counting the vote of the only Nationalist in the House on the Conssevative side.for it was on the left of the Speaker ho sat.Since the election, there are but six Conservatives in the House and seventy- two Liberals.&o strong was the Liberal sentiment throughout the province that no less than twenty-three of the léberal candidates went in by acclamation, end in many of the constituencies where there was a contest, the Conservative loat Ms deposit by not polling hall the vote of .the successful candidate.As one of the six Conservatives, Colonel Smart, is in Europe at the hesd of a battalion there will be but five to watch the government's actions.It is an impossible task for five men to scrutinize with care the great mass of legislation thet is yearly put through, muck of whieh consists of private bills conferring favors on individuals, and to organize and sustain a debate whepever they suspect à wrong is being done.The result is that we will have, for the next few years, an unbridled government.True, the government of Sir Lomer Gouin is the least corrupt, most progressive.and trust worthy that we have had in Quebec for & long times atill it would be the better of watching and of criticiom.Indeed, we believe it would make it much easier for the party to keep from the pitfalls of corruption Into which 8 party is so easily ememared by the more us.scrupulous of its members, were there a strong Opposition.There were oa the other aide à few bright spots in the election.Mr.Marsil, the candidate supported by the notoriously anti-Britisb Armand lavergne, wes defeated by o Liberal.Good roads and more money for education were (be ehie! talking points of Bir Lomer Gouin'e campaign, and (hey web ah (80000004 suppert ped *.' lish voters of the province as wall Woman Suffrage The Presbyterian Conference at Ap lentie City hes given à negative decision om the great question of woman su.tage.It Le hardly fair to say they decided ot it, as the question wag ton radical à ens to come to eonchy« sions on without much more considers ation than could ba given :t upon à sudden motion.The proposition was not indeed, if the eseadensed newepaper reports are not misleading, urged om ite merite.The argument fer it wag that women sliould surely have & aay on the great question of repressing the liquor traffic.The claim is too broad and too elementary to be judged on the basis of @ single illustrative example, however \u2018apt and convincing that illus tration may be.It has siways beem a principle of Presbyterianism: thet the social unit was not the individual, bus the family, and that £he \u201chead of the house\u201d was the right representative of the family, women being essentially, subordinate.Warrant for this wag found in the usages of the people among whom divine revelation came ta us.It was always \u201cYe, your wives and your little ones.\u201d Indeed, this conceps tion of the solidarity of the family was recognised in @ remarkedbl way among people far removed {rom Isra- slitish influence: \u201cRelieve on the Lord Jesus and thou shait be saved and thy house\u201d The Romans also made the man the determinative centres of thy fomily.Such being, from the very bes gmning.the Presbyterian attitude toe ward the question, we need not wondeg that & proposal suddenly eprung wad laid on the table.The proposer may have had no thought of woman's poste tion within the church, naly of hes chim to vote politismlly.But, as nq church could take such a position toe ward the polities] vote without inéro« ducing the principle into ite own polity, it was far from an academie question the supreme eourt of the chureh wag ssked to pass upon.In giviag the mae sous on which the past judgment of the Presbyterian churches has no donbé been based.we are by no means pros souncing what its judgment should be after due consideration.There were many usages among the ancients whidg our civilisation has outgrown.Slavery, for instence, was universal throughout Soripture times.It was eft for the nineteemth century to discover that ih was out of harmony with the principles of humenity es well aa with the geniug of Christiamty.The Christian religiom was never intended to petrify the qome ceptions of immature ages and tree them os sacrosanct for all time.It in then, we should suppose, opm to the Presbyterian Church, indeed its duty, to consider what may be its right attitude toward this question.It is @ question, that is seminent in Canads, as by thg proposed umion of churches some women will gain the suffrage or coms otherg will lose it.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 GOD AND THE FARMER.\u2019 God set down with the farmer Whea the noontide heat harsh.The Ose bad builded & world Chat 487s And the other had drained a

(Murray.120 met).by Mr.Geo.Earle Buckle, which is published this week, describes the slow progress of that climb upwards from the period of the Crimean War.During the Crimean War Disraeli had distinguished himself by demanding two things in expecial.On de one hand.he called for a leader who could lead; on the ther.he valled for race.Like the rest of the Opposition eaders, he regarded Palmerston as an aged weakling.He described him in a letter as \u201cutterly exhausted.\u201d and \u2018an old painted pantaloon™: and the Dis raclian Press was as contemptuous.It referred to the

'sposi- tions for the defance of the outer poste of the palace, and did not retire to reat until after 4 a.m.as the detailed narrative of his aide-de-camp, Mathieu Dumas amply shows.No well informed

and other royalist officers who | were renponsible for its defence ngainst the rabble.On the other hand, the author's estimate of the Terror end of the diverse influences that ended it, is excellent, So, too.is the mrt of the narrative dealing with Napoleon I.I cannot, however accept the eatimates, unsupported by sufficient evidence, an to the sdleged serious decline in the Emperor's parer during the campaign nf Water- 00.A man of forty-aix veers of age, who was eighteen hours in the seddle on June 15th, of course showed signs of fatigue.But it was not his fault, but that of his ataff, and of Ney, that the batties of Ligny and Quatre Fran began late.Further, the blundering about D'Erlon's corps, which wavered between the two battles and shared in neither, was due to had Staff work, and to the extreme obetinacy of Nev, to whose command that eorpa properly belonged.The D'Friam blunder does not prove the decline in Napoleon's powers\u201d [t only illuatrates the difficulty of concerting ied and paraîlel advances with an opinionated marshal and hy means of an extemporised Staff, That which Rout had under him wus raw and inefficient: yet no worda of criticism hers are found on ita work; all ia ascribed to the Emperor's declining health.Enough credit ia alan not given to CGimeisenan for ordering the Prussian retreat northwards from Lig- ny towards Warre, A move which helped largely to decide the campaign.Th account of Waterton is, perhaps, the poorest thing in the three volumes.Put 1 have no apace left in which to indicate the omissions and controvert the inercuracies at

Russian denigna-had now been attained, and that Palmerston's refusal to listen to Russia's overtures might result in making the war \u201clasj, as long ae the Pelo- ponnesian, and the thirty Years of

on and ite guvernars could well be framed than is to be found in \u201cer.man Atrocities: an \u2018Mlicial Investigation,\u201d by J.H.Morgan.Professor Morgau vas commissioned in November lust vear by the Home Secretary to wndertahe an inquicy in France into the uilezed lireaches of the laws of war by the German troops.He has done his work tharoughly and systematically, with reults which form a record as von- vinving an it is damming.Aa his work procerded lv naturally extended its scope, al (vom tiv evidence of Teutonic brutality on the field of battle he went on te a ludeous secumulation of in- shlents proving an almost greater brutality in the Teutonie treatment of enihians awd unarmed snd defenceless women, and children.A de- e policy of atrocity by responsible teerman ofticers™ such is the clusion wh Professor Morgan arrives, and which Le supports by shundant proofs.In a book of this kind the evidence is the main point, but a great desl of it is simply unprintable, asd we are al mnt asaamed t even selected But in a case like this, when \u2018aling with so barimrous an enemy.it is absolutely necessary to know the facts in order to show how to her eternal disgrace Liermany las forfeited her place in the commonwaalth of nations.Here is a scathing juda.ment of Profeesor Morgan in bis iatro- ductory chapter: .- - I have been told that there are etill some individuals in England.who cherish the idea that this vast orgy of blood, lust, rapine, hate, and pride.in in some peculiar way merely the Bscchanalia of troups unused to the heady boujuet of the wines Champagne, or, stranger still, that it is the mental aberration of a peuple seduced by idle tules into these courses by its rulers.It in no part of my task to find explanations.But if the reader is astonished, as well he may be, at the disgusting repetition of storiés \u2018of rape and sodomy let him study the sta- tistice of crime in Germany during the first decade of this century, issued hy the Impe.ial Government; he will find in them much to confirm the impression that the whole people is \u2018infected by some kind of moral distemper.The problem of explanation is ultimately for the anthropologist rather than the lawyer, and there may be force in the contention of those who believe that the Pruseiun is not a mem: her of the Teutonic family at sll, but a \u201cthrow-back\u201d to some Tartar stock.Certain it is that he exhibits an in.aensihility to the feelings of othérs which ie only equalled by his extreme sensitiveness as to his own.This morbid insensibility is, of course, the secret of German \u201cTerrorism,\u201d and of the immense influence which it hes exerted on the theory and practice of war among the German nation.It explains their singular ingenuity in finding means to an end.and between the German trooper who dips a baby's bead into scalding water in order to get more coffee from its mother to the commandant who at the point of the bayonet thrusts a living screen of priests, old men, and womes with babes at the breast between his own troops and those of the enemy there is \u2018a difference of degree rather than of kind.Similarly the dark passage in the German War Book which hints that there may bc occasions on which it will be profitable to massacre prisoners of war reveals the same quality of mind as the order to shoot helpless sailors who are struggling fur their lives in the sea.DEPRAVITY AND TREACHERY.What sort of people German officers and men are in their deali with a pivilized country is illustrated the following excerpt: 1 should like to draw the attention of the reader to some unplessant facts which throw a bhaneful light on the temper of German officers snd men.If one thing in more clearly established than another by my Inquiries amon, the nffirers of our Staff and Avions commands, it is that chateaux or private houses used as the headquarters of Cer- man officers were frequently foynd to have heen left in 8 state of bestia] lution, which can only he egpisined y gross drunkenness or RAlthy malice.Whichever he the explanation, the fact remains that, while to use the beds and the upholstery of private honses as a Intrine is not an stirocity, it indicates a state of mind sufficiently depraved to commit one.Many of \u2018these incidents, related to me by our own officers from their own observations, are ao disgusting that they are unfit for publication.They polat to deliberate defllement.The very general abuse of the white flag is proved in the two following incidents, amongst many others which might be quoted: rivate K -,

improperly drawn it may lead to confusion and might bring a loss to the bank and annoyance to the depositor.In the first place, the figures should be plainiy made, so that no question can arise as to the amount.If a figure is carelessly made, so that it confuses those who handle the cheque numberless hours of work may follow.For instance, if a bank re- coives a cheque for 81.88 with a poor \u201c8,\u201d and a clerk liste it as $1.08, it may take many heurs time to find the difference, and the entire day's work may have to be gone over.The rule should be: Never make a figure that may be mistaken, and never pass one that is in doubt\u2014correct it by crossing out the bad and making 8 good one alongside.Second, the words and figures agree.The law says that if the two are different, the written words govern, but make both carefully and get them alike.Third, begin the writing well to the | Lars of the writin apace nd fill in the un space with a wa ine.a the figures well up againet the $ is and make the character, 00-00 after, but close vp against the figures.Use à good black ink and write firmly, so that Plenty of ink gets into the fibre of the Tr.ourth always write your name

of re turning summer, lends its charm to the jaded palate ie with us.While te some tastes nothing can re with the ripe strawberry, even without aecom- paniment, yet there are many ways of preparing and serving the fruit which are delightful.Before esten, the ber vies should be thoroughly chilled, firm, and in perfect condition.When they van be obtained fresh from the garden, arrange à few of the green leaves among the berries, to make the dish atil] more inviting.© Epicures maintain that herries should not be washed, as this destroys much ot 2 their flavor and tends to make them watery.If they are carefully cultivated and, after being gathered, are weil protected from dust and insects, there is usually no need of washing them.But, when it is necessary to do so, put them in a rolander or close wire basket and let cold water run through them, until all the sand and dust is washed from them, Do this before they are capped.When you wish to preserve the juices in the fruit and also their finest flavor as well, do not eat them until time to and should it be necessary to do eo, do not sugar them, and keep them in a very cold place.Berries keep better in a cool, dry place, sway from jee, and should not he placed on \u201cice except te chill them for the table.tiathered fruit quickly loses its valuable properties and, for example, strawberries hoiled within aix hours of their being picked will give quite 5 percent more jam than others which have been allowed to remain twelve hours before being treated with sugar and heat.Many of the-public will not be persuaded that the best fruit produces the cheapest jam.Good fruit contains the necessary gelatioous matter, whereas inferior produce is watéry snd unsavory.The popular impression that fruit which is not good enough for dessert is just the thing for jams is sbout as wise ns the ides of reserving doubtful egpe for making savory omelettes.Home-made jam is boiled too slowly.In the factories great heat is used, snd the fruit and auger are quickly converted into preserves.Quick boiling retains the color of the fruit, and avoids tous of weight and flavor by evaporation.Hy slow boiling.much of the delicate fragrance dinappears from the fruit Very few housewives, however careful, are succesful in the making of strawberry jam.Usually they do not get the right class of fruit, nor is it fresh enough, and, thirdly, the prosess of cooking is muib too prolonged.Even at the risk of shocking those good penple who adhere to old and high- 1y respected notions, let it be said that the addition of 10 percent of apple juice or gonseberry juice is an improvement to strawberry jam.It a perfectly good, pure, and wholesome substance, and there cannot be the smallest objection to ite use, which causes the jam to \u201cset\u201d perfectly.Added in the proportion stated to the strawberry and raspherry it makes good the shortage of gelatinous substance in those fruits.Furthermore, it prevents granulétion, and provides a necessary and pleasing acidity to the compound.Why the pure juice of the apple (famed for its virtues) should be deemed out of place in x pot of jam is explainable only by prejudiced notions.Strawberry Shortcake \u2014Measure a pint of sifted flour, add two teaspoonfuls of baking powder and sift well into the flour.Then rub in a table spoonful of butter.Mix in gradually enough
