Burgess formerly a pro fess or of Colour Abri University has been from the beginning of the War an ardent upholder of the German cause. For this there were two reasons. Prof. Burgess has Long had intimate connections with court and University life in Hai been a partisan of Germany even against his own country in such a matter As the propriety with Monroe doctrine. Further in prof Burgess there survives the old anti English i Eeling which was once the Hall Mark of the Good american his writings on the America civil War his anti English Bias i very evident.

The disappoint ment of this Hope was a severe blow to the Kaiser s plans. Again it was unquestionably that the German population of the United states would prove an important Factor in the attitude of the United states War. The frenzied efforts of the German party in the states to swing Public i opinion towards the German cause lean have no explanation other than j that it was fully believed at Berlin that the states could be seduced or a Strong German faction in say it with profound regret and profound disappointment shown clearly that it was fully prepared for mischief if there were the slightest Chance of such mischief being successful. These were the Kaiser s Hopes. These were dreams of the Imperial War lords. The disappoint ment of these Hopes and the evaporation of these dreams Are unquestionably shortening the War and just As certainly Mili Tating against the morale of the German armies. They Are shortening the War and saving i British lives. But just As certainly the plunging Canada from the Atlantic to the Lange Marlc.

He observes there is Little question in my mind that with the experience of this War our next formulation of the Monroe doctrine will be that there shall be no colonial dependencies in North Ameri Ca of any european Power. Its realization without the employment of Force by us will however be attained Only by Canada s being brought through the discouragement of defeat in this present War to the conscious Ness of the in american nature of her present adventure and its dangers to the Independence and welfare of North professor Canada is however old enough and big enough to Settle for herself her status in the world s family and to reach her own conclusions As to when she will fight where she Wil fight and what she will fight for it would repay the professor to re Gard with As open a mind As pos sible the phenomenon of the Cana Dian participation in the Battle o America.

The russians admit that their first Ine has been forced and that the Lave fallen Back on their second line of defence it will he necessary to Lold fast Here unless the russians Are to be forced Back from the carpathians to the Uplands of Yahola. Simultaneously with this there has a renewal of the Austro Ger u.l., offensive at Styr at the other end of the Carpathian sector. The German plan is plainly to Force the russians Back from the carpathians and remove for the time being the menace of an invasion of and to attain this end they Are As the russian despatches indicate prepared to sacrifice a. Few army corps. Further a Success Here will have important consequences. One Campaign which is proceeding Stead lev along the Road to Victory is that waged by the South africans under general Botha against German Southwest Africa. Three columns Are operating toward a common objective and they Are making steady the professor s friends tire germans the settlement after the War.

We raising Mil Lions where formerly we raised tens of thousands i give you one Rea son that we Are fighting for Liberty. Cheers not merely of Europe but the Liberty of the world. Cheers we were once taunted with painting the map red. Laughter what would it be if Prussia were Able to paint the map Black cheers 1 say Prussia advisedly. I distinguish Prussia from Germany. A both neither of them very there Are degrees in evil As in Good. Laughter and cheers you know what a Manhout is. A a Mout is a Little Man with a Spike who sits on the head of an. Elephant and drives that huge and passive Aff ital where he wills. Well Germany has been a great passive Good tempered elephant and Prussia has the Manhout sitting head. Cheers it is Prussia that is our enemy. It is Prussia that has driven All Germany against us. It is the whole system of Prussia dating not from treats cake or Nietzsche and All those people whose names we can not pronounce but from Frederick the great from Frederick the great s father. It is the prussian system of merciless brutal unscrupulous aggression that-., we Are. Fight ing in this War. Cheers Why sir when you1, come to think of it believe that if the matter were brought to lilo attention of the daughters of the Empire they would secure this series of valuable historical works that have court the editors so much labor Knox s journal is indispensable to every student of the War which won new France for Britain. Its first hand description of the Battle of the Plains and of that whole Campaign aud1 the military orders included impress you mightily. And yet that description is Short and simple to Auster Ity. The present volume is taken up mainly with the year 1759-60, closing with the surrender of Montreal and the fifty five articles of capitulation be tween general Amherst and Vaudreuil and a description of the City. The notes Are Many and very full. The editor or. Doughty told us in the first volume that they Wero prepared for the schol ars. For scholars or no they Are very interesting to the average Reader like this Bookman who la curious concerning who s who in history. This journal says or. Doughty is probably the Best source of information for tha whole Campaign. Moreover the journalist brings the student into the very presence of the principal Acton in the he gives us a favor Able idea of the military profession he does indeed and he shows How they had a care in those Days for the Rule and i or Honor. If you have been read ing those delightful racy Little historic of Wolfe and of Montcalm by Colone Wood in the series chronicles o you Are ready to dip into Thi second volume of Captain Knox s Jour Nal Canadian history so dry As dus in Ray school Days becomes True Romance in these chronicles of can in his preface to the first volume or Doughty refers to those Jiuu Tinatin Here Are bits of two show ing How True is that word conce Nln the Honor of the game.

The plunging of Canada into a Tradal strife by instituting a Dis Alfy Hunt will have its re Pereus Sioa at Berlin. And whether the i eight of that repercussion be great Small it will translate itself into thing and one thing Only. It 1 prolong the War. It will Cost British lives. There is no abstruse about that. The logic is Clear and. Irresistible. Who was May read. With that a Stout Ness which its heart was in. Its indicated work. Canada is fighting to save the world from the domination moral of German monstrosity Botha is making Progress from Swa Kocmund. These Austria Hur Gary must be. Dismembered it is merely a government and an army the government is warped the army destroyed the hungarians will form a distinct nation and the germans Austria another unless they join . There must be a Targer Servia a larger Roumano and the czechs of Bohemia and the slays of Moravia must be constituted into an Independent nation the dismemberment of Turkey is a consequence of the oar. We Are the liberties of Germany itself. Do you suppose that Bav aria Wurtemberg Baden and you suppose they love prussians a voice no it is notorious they do not. It is quite True that they have been brought into line with them for the purpose of Thia War but their position is the most melancholy of All those engaged in the War because if they Are victorious they will Only Plant the Iron Heel of Prussia More firmly on their necks whilst if they Are Defeated they will incur All. The disasters of defeat. It is hardly possible to conceive a More melancholy and disastrous position than the South Ger Man states Are in in this War. But Are we not fighting for Freedom further still Are we not fighting for the Freedom of the i saw the other Clay that a. Man asked what was to be the name of this War. There have been the creat wars against Napoleon the Hundred years War. The seven years War and so on. I could give it a name in a moment. It is the world cheers no part of the world is unaffected by this War and i think of our Gigantic United they May be compared to an a voice but i Tell you what speculation of the United states which is very Large is extremely anxious so far As we can gather from the papers to the same part in again assures the army that All plundering will be punished with death. Particular care must be taken of the subjects that no Hurt or abuses Are done to any of the that is Ever Britain s Way As conqueror. One thing in. The narrative of this Campaign which greatly arrives me Lamb s archaism is the amenities of Intercourse Between enemies. There is no sting in such politeness As the Fol lowing a Flag of truce came from the French with an account of the death of a British prisoner. The priest at tending sent an invitation to an officer to Honor him wit ii is company at assuring him of Safe conduct and adding that As the English officer fought for his Cor glory he hoped he himself would be excused in Al kiting for his poor parishioners. Apologizing for not being Able to accept the invitation the officer added that he flattered himself he should have the happiness of entertaining the and his adherents in the let us Hope that the was realized. We Are told that Knox s account of the death of Wolfe is reliable and the details of the Battle also. It was on the Plains of Abraham that Wolle mus teed his men two deep and so invented the British thin Rea although it is those sinister having debauched the politics of Manitoba both party newspapers and the party a that Are now behind All this mad and traitorous Campaign for a War elec the half dozen Rogerl Zed Tion. Necessary Mano turkish Alliance. The Bose Hora must be declared free. Tiie occupation of constantinople by Russia no longer presents the same objections As form newspapers in the East now respond to the same sinister scandalized the West in past years. It is Robert. Borden would Only rid himself of the head and front of that sinister offending and would hold every Power in his government Loyal to the supreme business Canada today the unflagging prosecution of this War business his reputation for patriotism and of which or Bland makes mention might be if he yield s he is undone. Even though the Rogers machine might win a Gen eral election a War election As it won dishonoured elections in Manitoba such Success would be worse than failure. It would be infamy.

And As for defeat professor and the effect it Nas in the modification of policies keep your Eye on your old Friend the Kaiser who was wont in those Happy Days when you had the Felicity to live in Berlin to ring you up every now and then and ask you to take pot Luck with the Imperial family the refusal of the United states to prohibit the sales of War munitions w the allies at the request of Ger Many this increasing hatred of the is confirmed says uie to the tone of German news now reaching this Side of the Atlantic e it considers these attacks More reprehensible Inas Nuich As unquestionably in by germans and so called German americans in the United h 8lateg particularly by the Gorman h in this country summing up the conduct it the a German newspaper the Neu Este Nacri Obten of Munich supplies a guide to foreign newspapers which adopt a Correct attitude towards in this list there Are greatly to the credit of the United states Only three papers published in the american Republic. These Are the fatherland a weekly newspaper established in new York by the germans themselves the free press of German stronghold and the Public Ledger of Philadel phia it is a coincidence that the Philadelphia Public Ledger has precisely the same ownership As the saturday evening Post which pub listed pro German articles by Irum s Cobb and other writers we visited Germany in. The earlier stage of the War and came away filled c the brim with admiration for Al things germanic. _ Inland British forces Are mostly mounted infantry. At the present rate of Progress the settled part of the Colony will All be in British within a very few weeks. Yesterday there reproduced in this column a French official estimate of the German wastage of life As a consequence of the persistence in the offensive by the German command. There Are impending other shortages not less serious in their effect upon the Copper petrol and rubber. A Neutral observer who has been giving the London times the result of. Three months study of German conditions dealing with matters says metals have increased enormously in Price. Lead and Copper Are especially expensive. Objects made of Lead and Copper Are collected at special ventral depots whence they Are for varied to the proper Quarter. Largos a entities. Of old printing blocks used Peckally for music have been sent in or patriotic purposes. The Scarcity i Lead is not to be compared with hat of Copper. To judge from official reports the Large quantities of Copper which Germany still possesses would enable her to carry on the War for Many years but a Short time ago when staying in a Neutral country i found that German agents were of ering to buy Copper at prices times higher than current rates if by any Means they could have it trans ported to Germany. From other sources i have reason to believe that he Supply of Copper is causing the general staff the gravest anxiety. I Leard that the head of the Well known engineering works in Mann Heim Heinrich Lanz and or. Karl Lanz who financed and built the first air Cruiser of the Schutte Lanz Type professor Schutte being his intimate Friend and Ead expressed serious f ears with regard to Cowper. There is also a serious Scarcity of rubber which cannot be obtained from any Quarter. Few private motor cars Are now in use. Unless own ers Laid in a Stock a of tires before the War it is now impossible to obtain them the Sale of been absolutely prohibited. The petrol famine also daily increasing and might have serious consequences. Al though her reserves of petrol at the beginning of the were immense us the huge specially constructed tanks were filled and barrels had Sath Refl by hundreds of shots at Hamburg. Lube to Stettin declared that his Colon Lal policy was one of the. Factors of the present War the German Colon ies must be divided up Between great Britain and Japan. The allies must claim a indemnity and Belgium must receive a Large share to compensate her As or Money can for her sufferings Demnitz May be guaranteed part by the state railroads the economies in military expenditure which will result from peace will compensate for another considerable part. The turkish Empire will be divided As follows the Valley of the euphrates and Arabia to great Britain Syria and the holy land to France Armenia and the livers of the Black sea to with the Straits the islands of one Aegean sea to Greece if Italy wishes to insure a return of Trentino she roust enter the struggle. The marching of the soldiers. Will Irwin in the weekly dispatch one can smile with tender humor at the contrast Between the English regi ments and the scotch regiments As they swing Down High Street or Princess Street. The faces of the English show that they regard the preceding Casu ally and will continue to regard it Casu ally until the tune really comes to make a fuss. The faces the scotch Are set and dour and face which ,1 understand the germans fear most to behind the so sets of a Rifle. The the United states As. Prussia has in toe the a Hout of the United states to be the Driver and to drive her into what after All would be a civil War with her ancestors and her friends great Britain stirring Appeal to arms in the second place we Are fighting not merely for Liberty but for our lives and our existence. None of us con fall to realize who have observed the course of prussian aggression or the barbarities which they have committed in. The countries to which they have had Access none of us can have any doubt of the Fate Reserve d for ourselves should we succumb in this War. It is quite True that Admiral his glorious Victory the other he drove the baby killers like chaff before the postponed for a considerable time if not altogether another of those glorious expeditions which have resulted in the deaths of so Many women and children. But still we must remember that this is a Battle m which to can leave Noth ing to Chance. Everything we have is at nation our Empire All the tradition s and All the glories that we have built up by so Many Cen Turies of warfare of toil and of free Dom Are at stake. There is an awful responsibility on every Able bodied in this country who realizes the who runs an officer answered the egad they Reva Way every Swiere so one of you my ads to colonel said the dying Man Tell him to March Webb s regiment wits All Weed Down to Charles s River to cat Oft the Retreat. Turning on his Side he added than and this wretched to his chaplain he is a great Consolation to me bagpipes Skrl everywhere ahead the marching regiments. We have cursed the bagpipes a caricature on music in old Days. Now i know what bagpipes Are made in. These times they stir up the martial spirit until it thrills to your very toes. The German regiments March with a icing of shuffling thump a gait figured out mathematically doubtless As giving the greatest Pace with the smallest expenditure of Energy. And a s they come Down in unison on their heavy cow hide boots they seem to shake the it sound s like the tramp of conquerors. The French have a Freer swing. Their Rawest show a Little of the gait of veterans. Tet the English Welsh and Irish something about their marching which the others Lack. What was it i wondered suddenly my mind went Back to the grand Parade of nations at the olympic a mfrs of. And i understood. On that Day the Man nature of this contest As to what he should do. I would not take the responsibility on myself for anyone else. I do not altogether envy those who have to discharge it out to every Man. In a struggle of this kind a struggle for life and death in which we must be smashed or we must there is no other alternative i envy the Man who without valid excuse resolutely re Mains aloof. When our armies re turn victorious As they will As they will return trained muscle of the paraded before the King. But the Ciu est Ion is How soon they will return and that can Only to determined by the Force of numbers in the Field but when our victorious armies return the bystander who has in watched proceedings from the said the of i but French commander.
