The - new .ers'oo of We Getman Hymn of bate, written for the bene - Fancy of IWy, is awaited with interest - if Roumania and Bulgaria get foto the big fight, too, there will hardly be enough Teuton hate to go around. Fancy the nerve of the Imperial Government in prosecuting The Lon don Times, the paper that Sir J, 8. Willison writes for. What sense would there be in char,, ing the name of the Canadian city of Berlin :• 'We are Righting Gerin mil- itarism, not German names.

It is remarked that the heads of the two fighting departments of tbe Brit- ish Government—Kitchener, of the War Office, and Balfour, of the Admir- alty—are both bachelors. Having no Agbtlng to do at home, they can devote their whole at'ent inn to fight- ing the enemy. A few y care ago Lloyd George and ' Winston Churchill were regarded as friendly rivals for the Ant place in British politica when Mr. Asquith should pea. off the • stage. Lloyd George seems ,,, hue the totter stay- ing qualities and appear. •t the pres- ent tome to by lir the lead.

White, Minisser of Finance, said in the Howe of Commons that the Na- tional Policy was inaugurated in this country for the exprss* purpose o< bunking up cities, to provide a home market for the farmer. Cities have heed built up %gith • vengeance ; but the National Policy has done it obvi- ously to the detriment of the rural communities. Instead of providing the ideal home market for the farmer it has destroyed the balance between rural and urban populations.
