The deep discontent which has seized wide circles of the is due to the burdens imposed upon it by the economic pressure and military supremacy of the allies. The Block-1 Ade is doing for the civilian front exactly what the Allied armies reinforced by the flood of ardent american troops is doing for the invincible forces of the fatherland in France and Flanders. Civilian population of the Central empires holds one key to their military prospects. Any ure in the steady flow of food and to a material to the armies of the teutonic allies must leave them helpless. Unceasing activity and Freedom of communication Are essential to military action and in this War the rate of consumption of these things is phenomenal. The allies Wield therefore two weapons which the Central Powers have either never possessed or have failed to utilize successfully sea poorer and command of the air. From the very first Day of the War the watchful fleets of and her allies have held the germans in Leash. Not for an instant has the grip of Allied sea Power been relaxed. On the contrary the Block Ade has been gradually tightened until nothing is Able to enter the Central empires from overseas except by consent of the allies. With the loosening of the German grip on the Baltic provinces and the Ukraine even less sustenance will be obtain Able from outside. Meanwhile Ger Many s Industrial energies Are be ing paralysed by the shortage of raw material As much As by the shortage of labor created by recruit ment. I. The other weapon of the entente be characterized by the same firmness which the Manitoba department revealed when dealing re cantly the organized Boycott Oishe Public school in the Wakeham school District.

From this convention Tho statement sent out that if the school at Anci act is to be enforced in Saskatchewan the old Colour hers Asar popularly called will arrange immediate migration to the Argentine.

This map which was published in the free press at the time of the race to Between the German and Franco British armies in october 1914. Admirably illustrates the recent victories of the belgians and British in Flanders. The dark line Marks the International Boundary. The positions Menin and routers both of which Are dominated by the allies and be tween which the Point of the wedge has already penetrated an appreciable distance in relation to Lille to the South and. Ostend and the submarine bases 1n the Northeast make this Advance of the utmost importance. It will probably result in the withdrawal of the germans from the whole of Western Belgium for by pushing their Advance northward to thou rout the allies May turn the whole of the German line Between Dix Mude and the sea. In any Case the germans have lost effective control of All the lateral railways upon which their mobility and transport North of Lille depend. The chief Means of communication with the is now through Ghent and Miles to the Inch. Bruges. The German situation is rendered More precarious by the fact that it is no great distance from Courtrair which is next in order of capture by the allies to the dutch Frontier and the Prospect of Success for a turning move ment against the German forces in Western Belgium is greatly enhanced by the limitation thus imposed on the German troops in their almost inevitable retirement. The recovery of Lille the Centre of a most important manufacturing District will be a heavy blow to the prestige of the German armies though its military Valus apart from the use of its factories for the production of munitions and equipment lies in its railway connections. From it radiates the lines which Supply the German front North and South. It is reported to be partially evacuated by the enemy arid its total loss will be proof of the imminence Retreat from a Large portion of Northern France and Belgium.

Lord Roberts worked Day and night endeavouring to awaken in the British puke a realization of their danger from the German Meralee. He preached preparedness and was for his trouble but today the British Public Revere is memory too late that we Are Given each Day in which to. Prepare for the Morrow. When a Man is ill he goes to a doctor then follows a. Riffle consuming struggle for health. One tenth of the Effort and time expended in preparedness against illness would have kept him Well. Had England listened to acid listening acted upon his advice Many chapters in history would have read differently from what they will. This was about peace or the War after the War is the big army of business making adequate preparations or is it too watching and is it holding to the old Way As Best theory or is it daring to originate Pioneer and prepare the events of the Day Are so teeming with interest and vital importance that to project one s mind into the potentialities of a year hence scrims a needless waste of mental Effort and yet when Tuffe year Rolls by we will find events moulded conditions and today has played its part in their forming. Not the Day of itself but the thoughts of the ideas and ideals which Are receiving attention. And what will be this War after the War if it is not an economic War and who will be called upon to fill the front line trenches in our economic War but the ranks of business and what is business doing to build its internal strength against attack from without after the Europe will want food clothing machinery structural steel in fact All the countless articles 1 needed in the process of reconstruction and rehabilitation there will be a wonderfully equipped manned and organized merchant Marine service to carry this merchandise Over seas. But what will these ships bring Back to Canada what will p a for the vast quantitie.3 of merchandise clothing and food stuffs Wei will Send abroad if it in t european merchandise can Tariff Walls be built which will exclude these foreign goods in the broader interests of Canada and the Empire they can not. We will have foreign goods and Domestic goods on the same Market. It will therefore become a question of the Choice of the consumer and so that business which today is advertising in order to win for its merchandise a place in the minds of the going to have a distinct advantage after the War the biggest business asset will be the Good will of the people.
