| What the U. S. Could Do
outlying Expert Says the Grain Supplies Fall] Canada in Relation to the United
States in War Preparations
+ At a gathering of the Navy Lea- guc of the United States,, which is planninz to recruit 100,000 men for the naval forces of the government and to raise a war relief fund for the maintenance of the dependents of the volunteers, a Canadian officer who has taken part in a similar service in his country, gave an_ interesting account of what Canad@ has accom- plished for the service of its mother country since the war began,
‘ No country, he said, was more unprepared” in the summer of 1914 than Canada. Its navy consisted of two training ships and its army of 5,000 men, while its militia was con- sidered as “more or less of a joke.” Now an army of 400,000 men has been recruited, of which 300,000 have been sent overseas for active service and 50,000 more are fit and ready to go, The other 50,000 are not in condition for work at the front. The Dominion has expended $21,000,000 in raising its army to send abroad and pledged $14,000,000 more as a fund for the support of their dependents, $33 a*month, of which $15 is assign- ed to his dependents. Besides this latter, $20 a month is provided as a separate allowance to the wife or widowed mother of the soldier. In addition, for the relief of families for Ww hich $35 a month is inadequate for their comfortable subsistence, organ- ized private effort has raised a “pat- riotic fund” from which about $1,- 000,000 a month is spent in caring ind between 50,000 and 60,000 fami- ies.

Plan Huge Fleet
U. S- Will Construct Enormous Number of Wooden Ships
The plans of the federal shipping board for the construction of small wooden merchant ships to nullify the German submarine . menace call for a monster and practically unend- ing fleet of these vessels to be turn- ed out eventually at the rate of 200,- 000 tons a month. They will com- prise America’s first contribution aside from the navy’s assistance to- the war, The vessels will be armed for offense and defense and manned | by American sailors and gunners, |
Details of the enterprise were giv- en out by William Denman, a mem- ber of the board. He said the first ships of the fleet soon would be un- der construction at all available ship yards on the Atlantic, Pacific ane
Gulf coasts and the Great Lakes. Within a period of eight months niore than 200,000 tons of wooden
vessels of from 3,000 to 3,600 tons| will be leaving their stocks every! thirty days, fully eqpipped for sec- vice.
According to Mr. Denman, the ships are designed to provide ‘or the benefit. of Great Britain and he. allies an unending supply of tonnage by which they can draw from the} United States at a minimum of cost} the supplies necessary to fecd, 4
care for their armies.

war, would have stirred the national conscience and produced a universal habit of self denial. Such hopes have been doomed to a bitter disappei ment. Our sailors and soldiers when they come home for a short leave, are still the vietims of misolaced hospitality, and our men in prepara- tion for a life and death contlict are daily exposed to such constant tenip- tations as many of them are unable to resist.

The Live Stock Encourage- ment Act, which was passed at the recent session of the Alberta Legislature, commonly known as “The Cow Bill,” is new in op- eration, aud applications are | be- ing received at the Department of Agriculture for loans under this Act. The Act provides that any five or more farmers may avail themselves of its provi- sions by joining together for that purpose. These men may borrow up to $500 each. The money is loaned to them for a period of five yoars at 6 per cent interest. The farmer receives the full $500 and he has nothing to pay but $30 interest once a year until the end of five years. ‘The only expense in connection with the loan is a fee of $1 for every $100 borrewed, There is no further expense in connec- tion with chattel mortgages or the registration of the same, as the Live Stock Commissioner in the Department of Agricul- ture holds the cattle in security for the loan by means of a gov- erument brand. <A certain a- mount of supervision is made over the purchase of the cattle, or rather, the farmer is given whatever assistance he may re- quirein the purchase of his cows. The money must be used exclusively in the purchase of cows or heifers, except in case a number of members of an as- sociation wish to purchase » pure-bred bull to be used by them as an association, and then 10 per cent of their money may be used for that purpose.
The purchase of live stock under this Act must retain the progeny of the cows or heifers | so purchased until the note is} paid, except that he can sell the | steers when they are two years old and used
the proceeds in connection with his farming ik business. None of the original

past week. Tho difficulties seems to have arisen from a va- riety of causes, In the first place the allied governments have placed such large orders through the Winnipeg market as to leave a very small supply of May wheat for the ordinary needs of the trade, It has beon the custom in the past for the elevator companies when they bought wheat at country points throughout the winter to “hed- go” by selling the same quant- ity of May as they bought each day. This has been their only means of protection against drops in prices. Now that May has come with the time for their making delivery of the wheat they sold, they find them- selves unable to deliver the wheat from their country ele- vators with which they had ex- pected ta fill- their contracts made during the winter and the available supply of May wheat is so small that they can only purchase it to fill their contracts at greatly prices, Phey could at differené times their May con- tracts to the July month which would have given them plenty of time to get their wheat out |

There are daily increasing indica- tions that all the Central Powers— Germany, Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria and Turkey—are casting about for some Way of bringing the war to an end. They know by this time that there is not the slightest chance of a break-up of the Allied combination against them, While the Allies are not likely to make a separate peace with any of the nations on the other side, the fact that it is open to them to do so may be a means of bringing an irresistible pressure to bear on Cermany to ask for peace terms, with an honest offer of reasonable conditions.

A German Miscalculation
Morale Is the Factor of Chief Value in War
: h -important Oran the V i a aT strange that a scientific people like the Germans did not take more ac- count of it. That they did calculate upon it to some extent, is obvious, but their point of view misled them in their estimates. Many carcless readers confuse the two words, mor- al and morale, even in pronunciation, and while there is undoubtedly a connection between the two, it is of a subjective nature which the (er- mans appear to have left out of ac- count. The dictionary defines mor- ale as “state of mind, with reference to confidence, courage, zeal, and the like, especially of a number of per- sons associated in some dangerous enterprise, as soldiers in war.” It is evident, however, that the idea ex- tends to a nation as well! as an army, and that national confidence, courage and zeal form a most important ele- ment in such a struggle as the world war. This is where the miscalcula- tion, of the Germans comes in. Their morale rested on a material basis. 50 many soldiers, so much training, so many guns and rifles, so much muni- tions of war—excel in these and con- quer. Such appears to be the Ger- man formula. Germany never seems to have learned that human nature varies, or that it may attain some sublimation or admixture with high- er clements that change its quality and power of endurance. They knew that nickel gives a new quality to steel when mingled with it in a pro- ‘portion of about three per cent. hey never realized that there might be some’ nickel admixture in the steel of character which would create an en tirely new power of resistance ,. The democratic spirit is the nickel in the stecl-of human nature. In Germany there is no real democracy, no real self-dependence, and therefore no real morale. Only the Kaiser can depend upon “Gott,” only the Kaiser can represent “Gott,” and other men must depend upon the Kaiser and! the Kaiser’s arrangements and pre-
arations. When these fail all is
ost. In the French and _ British democracies and in the Russian pat- riarchate every man learns to de- pend upon God himself and on his own deed, Hence the unconquerable morale of a truce democracy.—From the Toronto World,
The British and American Navies ‘ The relations between the British and American navies have always been not only pleasant, but, in the strictest meaning of the word, cor- dial, In producing Mahan the Amer- ican navy has put ours under a spec-
ial obligation. Mahan may almost be a
real secret of Nelson’s genius, and
the true meaning of the great deeds of our other aaval forefathers. Both nayies today are thus the heirs to the same predilons --Land and Water.

there are an increasing number doubters among the German man- kind as to the accuracy of state- ments issued by the government, in the class with which I mostly came into contact in Germany the women are blindfolded and believe all they are told. So strong, too, is the in- fluence of government propaganda on the people of Germany that in ‘a town where I met two English ladies married to Germans. they believed that Germany had Verdun in her grasp, had annihilated the English tioops (mainly black) on the Somme had defeated the English fleet in the battle of Skagerack (Jutland), and reduced the greater part of the forti- fications, docks, and munition fac- tories of London to ruins by Zeppe- lins, Their anguish for the fate of their English relations was sincere, and they were intensely hopeful that England would accept any sort of terms of peace in order to prevent the invasions, which some people in Germany still believe possible.

Hungry Germany
Placard the Government Suppressed; Germany to
Set Forth the True Conditions
Much was heard a few months ago, shortly after the appointment of hterr Batocki as food dictater, of a notorious placard which was printed
and circulated by secret means f
empire to be strengthened in their pened the masses of the German) ove and aflexiance to the Father- working people, and among the sol-
diers also. This placard was clearly written by popular leaders, who wished to show the German masses where they were being led by the cliques in power, and called on them to rise in protest before it was too late. Its suppression was vigorously sought by the government, the Am- sterdam correspondent of the Daily abi reports in sending the full ext, 6
The following are extracts from it:
What was bound to happen has happend. Hunger. At Leipzig, Ber-
lin, Sesoie |F apl Brunswick, Madgeburg, Coblenz, Asnabruck and many. other places disturbances
among the hungry masses have oc- curred in front of the food shops. Our “State-of-siege-government only
answers with “State of siege, police sabre, military patrols.” Bethmann-Hollweg accuses Eng-
land of the crime of causing hunger in Germany, and “Hold out” men and other government supporters bable it after him. But the govern- ment ought to have known _ that things would happen thus. War against Russia, France and England must needs lead to the cutting off of Germany.
War makers@bable, “Wicked ene- mics have done it on us.” But the only counter-question is, “Why have you followed the encircling policy?” The German — government followed the imperialistic policy which upset all nations. Germany came into con- flict with all, and finally united with the Austrian State-corpse {Staatska- daver) and with hopelessly” bankrupt Turkey and brought about the world war.
On this crime was heaped, for this government did nothing to meet star- vation. Why was nothing done? Be- cause war does not hurt the gov- ernment hangers-on, capitalists, Jun- kers, food usurers, but enriches them. lf from the outset of the struggle against hunger and misery serious measures had been taken, then the blinded masses would have recogniz- ed the seriousness of the situation, and the clamour for war would have evaporated, The people have been intoxicated for this reason with howling about victory, at the same time being handed over to the capi- talistic food usurers.
The ruling classes did not want to give up their mad lust for annexa- tions, and lied to the people by tell- ing them that if they held out Ger- many would dictate peace and domi- nate the world, They have lied to us. They said the German submarines will cut off England’s supplies, and
England will be made to crave ~ for

hese are only fairy tales for child- i will backs, but there is no possibility of cutting off England’s supplies, now or ever,
ren, The submarine warfare bring more enemics on our
even if Germany had ten times as many submarines as she actually has.
Then it has been dangled before cur eyes that the offensive against the Balkans would give us more breathing space and relief. Abundant food supplies, too, would come from Turkey. This. was a deliberate lie, for the Turkish government cannot feed its own army any longer,
And now they would console us by pointing to the next harvest. All suffering will end when the new crop is harvested; they say. This also is a deliberate swindle.
Now there is nothing left. The occupied territories have been crop- ped short. There is no longer enough o distribute to satisfy people’s hun- er.
What of the future? The war can
of| be carried on for another six months,
and perhaps for a whole year, while the people will be left to a slow death from starvation. Then, how- ever, our future generation will be sacrificed, and to the terrible sacri- fices of dead and mutilated on the battlefields will be added the further sacrifices of women and children who will fall victims to diseases owing to starvation.

In addition to the 80,000,000 Ger-

land? This is the problem which is’ being forced by the founders of the Institute and Museum in the inter- ests of overséas Germans at Stutt- gart, under the patronage of the em- peror, the King of Wurtemberg, and the principal shippers and exporters. After the war there will be tremen- dous changes, and Germany may reasonably look forward in time to an almost immeasurable increase of her overseas trade, No time must be lost in arranging for the neces- sary supply of all available raw ma- terials; equally urgent is the ques- tion of an extension of markets for finished manufactures. The cordial co-operation of the overseas German is absolutely necessary,
These and similar thoughts occupy the founders of an institute which is to supply a knowledge of overseas Germans and their conditions of iife to the nation at home, to further their intcrests at home and abroad, and to awaken an intelligent interest among the masses of the people in the concerns of\ those colonies of German men “who are our advanced guard abroad.”
The museum is not to be a cabinet of curiosities. Among all the various objects exhibited there is to be 2 living connection. Overseas Germany is to be shown in the midst of her surroundings and in her dealings with native peoples and races. In this way the imperial German will grow familiar with countries in which he is becoming vitally concerned.
Some interesting details regarding the nature of the collections are given in an article contributed by Dr. Carl Uhlig to the Berliner Tage- blatt. They afe to embrace the in- tellectual and material possessions of the overseas German, and, in addi- tion, much that is important in the frame in which his life is set. The German settlements, trade, domestic life, and its arrangements, clothing utensils of all sorts, the produce of the soil, arts and crafts, objects of industry, means of transport and communication, and all that fitly il- lustrates or explains the scientific, ar- tistic, religious and social institutions of the country are all to be exhibit- ed. Each country where Germans are “standing.at the outposts of our world-mission” will have its own special section,
But this is not all, There will be an important department devoted to German shipping lines ‘trading with foreign countries where Germans are settled, another will illustrate the German press in those countries, and a third will be devoted to exhibits

ADJACENT FARMING COMMUNITY
ARGUMENT FROM BASIS OF DOLLARS AND CENTS
Building Up the Town Adds Dollars to the Value of the Farm Land and Other Fixed Investments; and Means Greater Social and Educational Advantages
The closer your land is to a good town, the more money it takes to buy it. We all know that, About the first thing the owner tries to do when you dicker for a piece of land, is to justify, the high price you are asking by pointing out how close the land is to town_and the good roads lead- ing to it. He knows this is the most appealing argument he can put up.
Land close to town and adjoining good roads is not only desirable be- cause crops can be marketed with the least trouble and expense, but there ate other social and economical ad- vuntages as well,
Consider the cold matter of what a town is worth to the people own- ing land in the vicinity, measured from a dollars and cents standpoint. Mr. O.R. Johnson of the Missouri Agricultural Station made a careful investigation of 650 farms and he proved by actual figures what a lot of us have known in a general way for a long time.
4 For instance, in the locality inves- tigated, the 79 f within two
Now, to have a good town, yo must have good stores—there is no other way to make it—and to have good stores and good merchants, you must give them a chance to _ live, thrive and grow. You must treat them fairly, You do not abuse your rstock, because such treatment does not pay, and the same personal in terest is at stake’in community build ing. You must*consider the mer- ychants of your town as a community investment in which you are both in- directly and directly interested, You are a stockholder, as it were, in your home town, and the better you make your home town, the better your in- vestinent will be.
You can’t make your home town better unless you are on the square with it ‘and give the business interests there the proper chance for a normal and legitimate growth. Remember the story of the farmer who was so selfish and short-sighted that he tried to make money by stunting his hogs When he finally sold the runts, he found that he had paid a mighty big price for the feed he had saved.
Just how many of us have driven into town with any thought of what our loss would be if that town were wiped out entirely and never replac ed? How many of us have consider ed that the town realky meant any thing to us except for a little wild talk on our part at times? How many of us have considered that the merchants of the town were conferr- ing upon us, and upon all members of the community, advantages worth in dollars and cents immeasurably more than any profits they got out of us?
If we woke up some morning

farms miles of town had.an average value of $78.70 per acre as compared with $70.20 per acre for the 183 farms from two to four miles from town; $60.90 per acre for the 126 farms four to six miles from town; $5820 for the 113 farms six to cight miles from town, and $55.90 for the 149 farms over eight miles from town. Mr. Johnson says that the most rapid decrease in value occurred in the first six miles, after which the difference of a mile or two from town made less relative difference. In another instance, he points out that 42 farms valued at $100 or more per acre, had an average haul of about two and one-half miles to mar-| found that ket; 62 in the $80 grottp had nearly worth of three miles, and the 275 in the $60) Sone up in smoke during the night, group five miles to haul, while 246 in| we wouldn’t need anybody to explain the $40 group averaged six and one- how the loss was going to mak« fourth miles to town. } poorer.
