The men who represent the town of Ooderich in the tattle line place the people of Uadericb under an obligation which they can never adequately dis- charge. iecharge. The homes bereaved by the death of brave sons killed in battle are in sorrow because these young men were willing to mak. the greet sacrifice in OCR cause. The beet tribute we can pay to their memory is to look our responsibility squarely in tbe face and resolve each one to do what lies in his power to further the cruse for which these heroes laid down their liver. VOTE FOR THE BYLAW. The Signal has no hesitation in ask ing the ratepayer. of Ooderich to sup- port the Ranaford bylaw. Salt is an article of constant, everyday use for which there isa steady and permanent demand. Godetich bee the salt, but the trade once so flourishing here has been diverted to ether points where larger capitrd and tetter plants have been employ.d. Now Mr. Ranaford, who thro•agh ye+rs of difficulty and depression has kept the salt iodustry alive in tiiderich, proposes to put further life into it and re-establish it here on au up-to-date basis. As aid sod encouragement to the project the town is asked to gin ex- emption ft out taxation (except school taxes; for ten years, and twelve elec- tric horsepower flee for for same period. These are substantial conces- sions and *!could aid Mr. Ranafori ma- terially in putting hie hotline*. on a solid foundation. If, however. for any reason Mr. Raeford should et any time within the period of ten years fail in the carrying out 01 bis project, the town will then be under no obliga- tion either in the mater of power or with respect to tax exemption. We shall not here to go on paying taxes for a dead i,.d".try. Auutbei consideration that should appeal etrougly to the people of Gode- rich is that the large amount of salt to be *hipped may provide the neces- sary inducement for • good line of boats tretall here regularly during the season of navigation. We hope the voter. will turn out on May 'kind and give the bylaw an enthusiastic support. THE PREMIER SHOULD SPEAK. No official announcement has been made of the intention of the Govern- ment with regard to a general election; but it appears to have been decided that there shall be no election la June. Some of the politicians are guessing that it may come in September. This would not improve matters very much, as both parties would be on the alert and there would be • gond deal of political "sniping' in the interval. Why cannot Sir Robert Borden come out squarely and honestly with a declaration that no election will be held this year ? This would put an end to party strife and remiminatlon for some months at least and would allow the people to concentrate their minds and energies upon the supreme object of the prosecution of the war. The Government apparently was deterred from taking the prongs Into an electoral rosiest ooly by • storm of protect from business men. hoards of trade and other bodies, and from the independent press. The follow/sg strong protest 1s from The Cbristles (wardi•a. the offbeat *even of the Methodist church, and Iodinates how the question is viewed from the mew partisan standpoint : "it looks now as If we bad been Ile- Isg In a fool's paradise.

To say that we are bitterly disappointed Y to put the matter very mildly Indeed. We have always looked upon Sir Robert Borde• as a obstinate* of high type. No moi, SO far as we know, bas •ver hese skis to east any reflection upon his Integrity or holiest purpose to serve the country's highest good. :m But that be, s an of high endeavor and sound ideals, should allow himself to become party -for we take it for granted that the suggestion is not of h ie making -to the scheme for snatch- ing • new lesss of power from the people while they an engrossed In other matters of • tragic life -end - death interest fills us with shame and unutterable sorrow. We have read everything that has been said in favor of an early appeal to the country, and the only argument that we have been able W pick out of it ell is the arum:Debt in favor of the party interests. The Senate is not blocking the Government it, the carry- ing out of soy of Its real programme relating to the conduct oft the war. The Opposition is mon critical than it was wiz months ago, but its criticism dues not call in question any general policy touching the .errs matter. The Opposition's way of sesisttng in the great Empire struggle would not dif- fer materially from the Government's way, and there is no cell (bat the people should judge between them. In fact, nothing has happened, in the conduct of the war or iu any other metier of Government business, to call for or to justify an appeal to the country. "it remains that such appeal, if it is to be made at this time, is to be made in the intermits of the party in power to the narrowest end moat •elfish way, and et the dictation of the wont ele- ments in that party. It remains that the worst instincts and ideals of the narrowest partyism are to prevail at the very time of all times when we should look for. and ought to have, Patriotism and stetesrnanshlo of the highest type. An election just now in Canada would be • sordid and piti- able spectacle. "This paper has no interest in party politics. It would say the ame thing it the other party were in power and making the same propane]. And its editor knows full well that if the other party were in power it would perhaps be tempted to do the same thing, and might yield to the temptation. But that does not change the situation. ,The bringing on of an election now, in the midst of all our anxiety and suffer- ing, nieane the laying of an unneces- sary and wicked burden upon the people : it will be cruelly embarrass- ing, and will put us in • false light be- fore the whole world, and it will di- vert us from the one duty that we ought to be carrying forward with all the coneenreted energy that we pos- sess. in the name of all that is de- cent end honorable in public life we protest emphatically .gainst it "We hope even at this late date that the better elements in the Con.ervs- tive party will lay bold of the situa- tion with • Along hand. end insist that the country be not thrown into the distress and turmoil of a general election at this critical and tragic hour in the lite of the nation.

THE REAL THING. "Wm arm up agalart the real thing." This familiar colloquialism rums up, better than any statement I can think of, the whole wind of (creat Btitaln at the present moment. It is frequently used in soldiers' letters written trocar the front ; I have beard It in eermoom and political speeches; in oonvrrea- tions with working men on the cars ; and in the commenta of distinguished philoeopbeis. '1 will not attempt to define ibis "real thing" which we are "up against." Thr utmost 1 can hen accowpli.h will be to describe some of the modes of its pre:reut action upon the national wind, and sows of the effete which chi+ action produces in our temper and our thought. The Real Thing presents itself, prim- atly, ea a tbre,.t and a challenge directed against the very foundations of our national and' individual exis- tence. 1f you would conceive the state of our national psychology, you must imagine how you yourself would feel and think if everything you had when for granted end reckoned as secure -your country,. 'your home, your family, your property, your life, your ideals -were suddenly menaced and bidden to defend themselves from destruction. A frontier settlement in the old day* which had just received intelligence that a powerful tribe of Red Indians was on the warpath in the immediate vicinity, a populous City feeling the tremors of en earthquake which bad alre.Ay shattered its neer neighbor - these are images which may help the American reader to uo- derstand the psychological disturbance of England at the present hour. I do not mean that ill -4 a I. panic ; for there is none. England is calm, resolute, and prepared. Her teeth are set end she as braced herself to meet a tre- mendous shock, and tbm need ec to brace herself bas acted as a stimulus to every faculty of her soul. There is ex- altation in the national mind. But be - bind it all there it the sense of a pres- ent threat. A year ago we were all wrisiog books and articles abaut the "Ieligtoa of the future." We were predicting the geadual fulfilment of certain or- derlytendencies of the human spirit - In al these predictions we breathed the etmospliere of peace, and ad- dressed oureeivega, those who breathed it with us. lie world war was hinted at, we acid that it was inconceivable, that the conscience of mankind bad advanced beyond that point where ouch things were poisihle, that them were only tbeid dreams of the wicked or ilseak. We dismis.a.I the possibility as having uo relevance to our bopee and our ideals.. How strange►ume of thew predsci ions em to es now ss we listens to the war - whoop of the savages sounding in the woods, or feel the seismic shocks shak- ing the ground under our feet! "We are up against the Real Tbiog." and we see that the world is lint r0 safe a place as we thought it to be. I have not the aligbtest ,doubt that our pretest t.outmct with the Real Tbing will involve many modifications in those "views of life" which bave bit.nerto been current among us. "I admired Bernard Shaw." said a friend the other day, "but now -well, be mates me .ick." It would not sur- prise me if henceforth we attached lees sumo, tance to "views of life" in general, no matter who their strata may be. life at the present moment is tots big and terrible a thing to be merely "►sewed." i am not prepared to predict what the changes of our thought will be; but 1 do predict that changes will take place• indeed one of the most cottage char- acteristics of the Real Thing is that while, on the one hand, it exalts our minds and stimulates the thinking faculty, on the other it restrains us tram excretive speculation concern- ing itself. 1 bave recently encountered among my friends hen in Oxford a state of mind which expresses Itself lir some such torp(. am these : "Let us talk no mon abodt the meaning of the war. Let us cease arguing the justice of our cause. feet us have no more ac- cusations against our enemies. Have done with all attempt to recoocile the war with the morel order. Have done with sermons and speeches and pam- phlets and articles. What will any of thew things matter if Germany wins ? Let our one thought, our one care, our one effort be to take sure that Ger- many does not wilt. What it the use, either, of arranging beforehand ideal schemes for the preservation of the peace of the world ? i? Germany wins, none of them oat be carried out. Postpone all such discussions. Treat the war not as • theme for eloquence; not as asuhject Inc debate -but as a call for action, and for the time being as nothing else. Coneestrate wbolly and ezclnaively on that. First let us act ; thee we will ,peculate." Here, 1 think, we encounter the out- standing testate of the Res/ Thing, as experienced at ibis moment by the sod of lintais it pressate itself not as an object to be st mMed het as a command to be obeyei, W. were mach too comfovtablo, (,pogo ten self. ecmpiaeent, sent* too before the war.

There seemed no limit to what the State could do for us, and no limit either to what we bad the right to demand. 1t was a demoralizing basines-demor- alizing to us who got our wry, and de- moralising to the State which gave us our way. But It went no merrily and ' the wildest expectations were abroad 1 of vast favors yet to come. Theo, one fine morning in August, there came a rude awakening. We got • message trout the State couched in language we had nevi•r heard be- fore. "I require you," said the State. to place your property and your lives at soy service. Now and for route time to come, I give nothing but ask !everything. Arni yourselves for *y defenoe. Give me your sols and be willing that they should die for me. Repay what you owe me. My turn hat. come." That is how the Real Thing talks to men wben it uses the State es its mouthpiece. Considering how strange ! and uneccustotned the language was, 1 think the response the nation made was to its credit. No sooner did the !State turn its imperative side towards tie then an instant peace fell upon our warring factions. We had all been wait- ing for that word of command to make us one -waiting but not knowing what we waited for. Our demands on the State bad been for ,different things : the State's demand on us was for but one thing -for uttermost Belt -sacrifice. it brought us together as nothing else could have done.' This was the first result of our contact with the Real Thing. -Prof. Jack's (of Oxfard, and ettitorof The Hibbert Journal) in The Yale Review. _ • • • THE BRITISH SOLDIER'S RELIG- ION. By the Bishop of London. 1 ase glad to accept in invitation to, write on this subject, as I should like to say something in honor of the men whotu I have learnt to love and re- spect 'more than ever (luting the lest fortnight. I have held during that tiwe fifty or sixty abort services all along tbe front of the battle line and at all the bases, and have visited, ward by ward, twenty-two of the hospitals Fpauce, and hove therefore, had • unique op fbortuoity of seeing that side of the British soldier's character w tech is aften left out in people's esti- mate of him. We bear a great deal of his wit and humor, his grit, and his splendid courage and endurance; but little is said of that simple faith which he has imbibed iu some quiet horns or learnt in his Sunday school, end which, to a Irrge extent, is the spring and s,urce of his otber qualities. It is this spiritual due, of course, to which I went out principally to ap peal ; end I chose Holy Week and aster es the wrist appropriate time at which to do to. What has encouraged me so much has been 11.e overwhelusiug ra.ponee of the wt'ole army. A few of the services were' of ate nature of church parades, but the great majority were purely voluntary. Oo no occasion did we have leas than 1000 men and often 4000. The most touching ►ervice to my- self war early un Easter Day. when after giving the holy co¢wunion to 3)0 officers and mem within a mile of the German line. in • school -room the roof of which had been token oft by a shell, 1 was tub at the end that 150 more wen and tfoers were' outside from other regiments asking for their • Easter cowwuniun ; and of course 1 held at once another service for them. Before each service I gave a meesage from all at home. saying Oust they must imagine that their wives and mothers and children or sweethearts had sent them all their love through ane, and that tbe whole nation was thinking and praying for them day and night. When the service began the religious note was struck at once, and Ohs potat !want to emphasize le the im- mediate response to the deepest spiri- tual note. Few things will live in my memory so vividly as the sight, from the wagon or extemporized platform which was always arranged for me, of these thousands of upturned fates sing- ing "When 1 survey the wondrous Cruse" with a depth and earnestness about which there could he no mistake. At the services just before and on Good Friday i took the Words from the Croat and as the generals and officers who attended in urge numbers. with the men remarked, "the men seemed to dank id every word." The guns booming bard by and the British ereoplanes circling like guard- ian angels over the aerviee to guard the attractive target of 44)0) men brad officers with a bishop in the middle, made the Beene very impressive.
