Thursday it a Man town. Who had been pro in the far North beyond any possibility of communication to Tui civilization to return today and re ume Contact with the news of the world he would he astounded to find the great european War so Long talked about had begun. Turning to events at Home he would learn that there had been no dearth of important happenings in his absence. Let us imagine that this sup Posi Vitious returner to civilization after in absence in the great Lone land of fee far is hackneyed supposition than that of a visitor from to be restricted by an in find Fato to one source of inform 2od, namely a file of the newspaper a rfcs cd is the Organ of the government to Power in this province. Our unfortunate suppose Vitious Indi fldna.1, confined to the file of the journal in question would imbibe a Quantity of misinformation. For one King he would find it proclaimed. Tith extraordinary violence of Lan aage in the issues of that journal for a week past that the free press Bas been slandering the people of foreign origin in Manitoba in a most infamous and dastardly manner by branding them As enemies of the Empire. T there Are two he would not learn anything about from the Minory government s newspaper. He could search that journal Day after with a magnifying Glass but he Ifould not find a single word which would afford Rhim intone nation whatever these to o facts namely 1 the fact that on july 27 Bishop Bulka of this City the ruthenian Bishop in. Western Canada issued a pastoral letter addressed to All the clergy and All the faithful of the Canadian setting Forth thu duty of men who had come from Austria to this country to return to Austria and join the and proclaiming to at deserters that the emperor extended a gracious Pardon to them if they would immediately report their readiness to go Over Anc As for those of the Canadian Ukraine 1 who were going to remain a this country Bishop Bullca pro claimed it to be to help Austria. Bishop Budka in this Epis Copal proclamation which he ordered to be read every Church under his jurisdiction ordered also that the clergy should Pray for the Success of Austria in. The War. 2 the fact that Der nor Westen of this City a sister Organ of the minority government s. Daily news paper published under a bold two column heading in its Issue of August 5, the Day after Germany declared War on great Britain a mobilizing proclamation from the German. Consulate in Winnipeg which _ was closed the previous Day calling upon All Undis charged members of the German army and of the German Navy residing in. Manitoba or elsewhere in Canada to return at once to Germany to report Tor Active service with instructions in regard to travel and an announce ment that their travelling expenses would be reimbursed to them in Ger Many. A person depending solely on the government s daily newspaper would in absolute ignorance of these two facts. The free pros set two facts before the Public As matters which it was of vital Public concern to have brought to Public knowledge to doing so the free press paid due tribute to the loyalty to Canada and the Empire of the intelligent and progressive citizens of foreign origin who wit As keenly As native canadians the menace to this country and the Empire of the anti Canadian nationalist Unis less encouraged by the politicians in Power in this province for political advantage. For the act of treason of which Der is under the same ownership and partly under the same management As the government s daily palliation has Heen attempted. No palliation is possible. Bit of course Der word beaten is now overflowing with professions of Ful some loyalty and abuse of the free press. The Canadian Kun Taenia which Speaks for Bishop Budka is doing the same. And the daily paper of the government is outdoing both of its sister organs especially in abuse of the free press. Bishop Budka after the publication in the free press of August 5 of a translation of his pastoral letter of 27, wrote a second pastoral Teller bearing Date August 6, express a Lorai to to Canada and the British t spire and ordering that the Epis Copal letter of july 27 which had Al ready been read in the churches under Bishop Budka s jurisdiction must not be read an Public and it is interesting to note that both Bishop Budka and the government s daily paper make much of the fact that Ikea the first pastoral letter was written War bad not been declared be Ween great Britain and Austria Hungary. War has Nof yest been de dared Between. Great Britain and Austria Hungary. If As the govern ment Organ asserts that pastoral was justifiable when it was written it is equally justifiable More and no less. The unconscious disclosure made in that episcopal proclamation of failure to recognize that the of allegiance is to Canada and to the Empire of which Canada forms part was a striking demonstration of the menace to our country s future there is a continuance of educational con Ditkus that fail to promote the making of All who come to this try into Canad Vins. Every Mari Toban sign origin wan is intelligently sir aug of Best for his . And Bis children s welfare and. Advancement is. Against the continuance of Hose conditions Aid f on the is -2 of this a country peopled on i by canadians cherishing a Canadian National Ideal. If aval efficiency. With one consent inventors mechanics and engineers of the world have for Many years sought to treat a factory or a Mill As a single machine to yield the utmost output at the least possible Cost for materials motive Power and labor. To this end Frederick wins Low Taylor and other leaders of equal Mark have Analysed every de Tail of Metal cutting Ore-rreducticm., Brick laying and hundreds of other tasks with the effect of multiplying efficiency All the Way from three fold to nine fold. Meanwhile the arts of War have moved in parallel with the arts of peace so that today the Bri Alliance the sympathies of the italian people were with France and Britain. No human Power he practically said could bring the italian nation to take up arms for Germany and Austria. It is we repeat immensely encouraging to find a nation deciding for itself whether or not it will go to War. The triple Alliance was a product of Bismarck s brain. As the London nation remarks of blood and Iron probably smiled cynically when he thought of drawing Italy into an Alliance with her hereditary oppressor. And now Bismarck s cold calculation finds itself wrecked upon the Rock of italian democracy factors that Bismarck refused to recognize Are today Paramount. I Bush tactics not effective. Stories come from the. Front in Europe that from documents found on German officers captured or slain it is Learned that the German army its operations on a time Tabie which carry it to Paris by a give n Date. The stories Are probably inventions but they Are not inconsistent with German expectations As voiced by writers who have dealt with the possibilities of the opening Days of a German Campaign against France. The Burden of these prophecies which have been heard times without number during the past few years has been that immediately after the signal for mobilization a German army in overwhelming strength would fall France like a Thunderbolt and crumple up its army before it could Call its reserves into action. In these articles i t has Al ways been pointed out that the whole organization of the army was created1 primarily to enable a telling blow to be landed first on the enemy by an army that at the Point of Contact would be of overwhelming Force. Put to the test the reality fall s Short of the prediction. The germans have doubtless massed their forces Tish Navy is As far beyond the Fleet on Frontier very rapidly but they. Of Nelson As his ships could outpace have not been Able to do a and outright a few canoes manned by South sea islanders. Harrington Emerson of new York Ous and so far As can be judged from the despatches the French. Mobilization has been just As prompt As that of the germans. The result is that ing the Franco German 1870, and the reasons for Victory und or von Moltke impressed " him or. An efficiency counsellor of the first rank was a student in Germany Dur from Switzerland almost to the Tea in i the armies of the two countries Are facing one another and there has been fighting some it on a fairly extensive scale at strategic Points along the line. The German army May he the greater Force and it May when action is joined along the whole immense front push the French Back but there is to be no Holiday promenade to Paris. Fighting in defensive position with the assistance of the powerful fortresses which line Frontier the French can offer a resistance that will be ruinous to Ger Many in men Money and material under modern conditions of warfare the advantage always held by the de fending Force has been1 enormously increased. Liege established this at the very outset of the lighting and it May be that this Campaign will show that strength in cumbers can never compensate for the disadvantage of being forced to attack entrenched bodies of men. Certainly under the of warfare that now prevail Rush tactics in solid formation against entrenched forces is sheer madness. The Road to to Berlin for that is not to be won As in the old Days by a single Success in the Field. Pm Era has this to say regarding modern navies t the Art of War has not clta5iged As to its Fui la me tals since Meir sri beg an to Flag it on land and sea. This purpose is with a stronger Force Jcj overwhelm a. opposing Fleet to strike. First hardest and quickest. It was go Lia the s idea to pick the ism elites one by one and a modern pugilist could de feat a Hundred men if they charged him singly and he could Down the first before the second came up. A dread nought makes All the navies of the world without dreadnoughts obsolete because battleship with its ten 12-Inch guns can fire a broadside from All of them at once while steaming at 21 knots an hour. Such a Battles hip steaming As fast As any rivals bring big More guns into action than any rival hitting an enemy at Miles destroy the whole of an opposing Fleet one by one As a pugilist would take the lighter weights one by one. It has been realized that if these big guns could be fired four times As fast they would be nearly As effective As four times As Many guns. Further if the skill of aim would be lettered four fold if four shots would reach their instead of one then multiplying four fold quickness by four fold accuracy there is an approach to an effectiveness multiplied no less than six teen times. To hit a target 60 feet wide and 30 fee Thig h at feet nearly six Miles with a big gun when you can cover it twice Over Point of a Lead pen cil at Arm s length is considerable harder than to hit a target one Tach High at 83 feet with a Sma-11 gun. In Targ i practice it is both Tetter and cheaper to fire shots with a Small gun thai to fire the big gun once. After training with Small apparatus a big gun twill do damage with four shots than by a Hundred shots without this practice. In the Battle practice i saw the first 12. Inch Range finding shot from a Yards go clean through a target of 30 by 60 feet. So precise was the aim that we calmly watched the. Shots splash All around the floating target Only 400 Yards away the firing end was not less remark Able the team work was perfect the salvos from the same ship were re Dir acted one after another almost As readily As a child swings a Garden Hose. Not Only in gunnery is there this celerity and precision but also in the tasks of firing Coal with constancy and Economy. In Coaling a warship the record a s been established of taking Board 360 tons an hour. Every dreadnought its own machine As to execute As Many repairs As possible without recourse to a. Navy Yard. The sea going organization in Ludes a gun Drill a Drill and a be foaling Drill. Several warships Are now adapted to Burn Oil As their fuel. Rey Eais himself. Armand Lavergne one of the Lead ers of the French Canadian nationalists with whom the conservative party found it convenient to make a compact in 1911, is Busy making speeches not at All to the liking of the orthodox conservative newspapers like la of Montreal. In a recent speech at Quebec or. Lavorgne Are asked what is our Price for going to fight for England our answer is that our. Language and our rights be restored1 to us in another speech or.

Stefanick got through or. Rojeski asked permission to Contro Vert his assertions. To this Stefanick strenuously objected but the audience Over ruled him and or. Rojeski spoke. For an hour dealing with compulsory education and then i wanted to. Speak to the russians in their own Lan Guage. At Steffanick raised such an uproar that the meet ing broke up. About sixty left the with us and we held a very Suc " Cess Ful meeting in the open air. Attempted intimidation next morning As i was standing in front of the Liberal committee room with or. D. A.

So we decided the Pas and make a report to consequence. We also found out that the labourers the railway construction Are subject to a system of exploitation not much less oppressive than mexican peonage. The men get .fifteen., cents an.
