C. P. R. TRAIN SERVICE.
There is a good deal of dissati•fac-
lion with thr C. P. H. passenger ser-
vice in and out of Gnderi.•h. The

possible fur • pet.uu biting east tel
Ooderich to come to town by C. P. R.
and return the .air day. A train
arriving at Godeiicle in the forenoon
and leaving late in the eftert con would

The C. P. It. absolutely ign•res this

enough to say whether it would or

It is not expe'.ed, of course. that the

THE NEW CABINET
The British Weekly, one of the
authoritative papers of the Old Coun-
try, says of the new British Cabinet :
The discussion •s to the formation
of the new ('abiu-t hv.Jbrought out
the fact that certain Ministers are is•
dispensable. No one, for example,
denier the commending power• and
mel its of the PI late aliniater. To the
knowledge of all roeo. he is one of our
greatest and soundest oratory, 'and he
has proved himself beyond all doubt
the dominating force in a very elle
Kabinet. We know touch of Mr.

sed His consum-
mate tact, his supreme patience, lir
magnificent brain, his far.igbled wis-
dotu, his skill in counsel, have enabled
him to succeed beyond all hope io
holding together discordant sections
of his party. His record ie unataioed
by a single resister abusive wort. He
has I,ved in a high world of his own,
and commanded the admiration and
confidence of the test elements in the
country.
Of Sir Edward Grey we need say
nothing. He, a man without toe
smallest personal ambition, has acted
a true patriot's part in giving himself
night and day to the service of his
country. He haa brought to that
labor qualities of moderation, of Hiw-
ness, of an &linnet inspired rectitude of
judgement, which will rank him among
the gre•te.t British state -men Mr.
Lloyd O'rorga. -otarvellnus qualities

a•eets of (bee couture, will Dever •gsiu
be disputed. Lord Kitchener is .till
the idol of the aney-more !lien ever

was wade to belittle him and drive

the tremendous nature of the took he
undertook. It was be who .et hien-
telt to do eve? ything on a great 'wale.
He is es 4100.•,1. as the day. 'He has
labored day and night. He has euc-
cerded greatly in all -mutters directly
under his own hand, anti the 'night
awl magic of his nave leiter done
wonders in drawing recruits and in
strengthening the confidence of the
C0unuy. No doubt he undettook too
much. Like weeny- other 'teen of the

sical etre-teeth. Vile have nothing to

THE I.CSITANIA H(UT1.
%Ve believe that a great tuaJority of
our count'ytuen ague with the admir-
able letter of the Archbishop of ('anter -
bury, and see in the rioting of the last
fortnight a very teal disgrace to our
good nettle and a very grave menace
to our tower in thie greet struggle.
When the war broke out last August,
the nation di•playrd a spirit of calm
and resolution lbat became its best tts-
dition, and the wmnrnt and the scale
of the (Ark Leto',. It. At no time in
our history- could a Briton to mole
justly proud of his British blood.
Now the prrerevalion of this spirit
ought to be reseeded as an obligation
of patriottenl upon eve's- man and
every woman. It was needed when
we were entering on the Ht-st act pi
Ihu l(reet tragedy, when each oeliou
was showing its ct-areeter not only by
the behavior art its wld,ers and sailors,
but also by the behavior of its citiz-ns
at home. It is Deeded not less today
when the tragedy deepens. '1he.ink-
ing of the Lusa :lois has brought home
with • special force the xutt.lesel bar-
barity that the memo wreaks on the
defencrlese. But what we Lave suf-
fered in this respect is nothing in couy-

Belgium is on the ra:k. A fifth part
of the soil of France is still in the
hands of an enemy who treats women
and children: after a wanner unknown
to Europe for three centuries. In this,
the greeted conflict of hist..rv, :nen
and women are suffering every tam of
torture for the sake of the principles
and the ideate of our civilization. Uur
soldiers are fighting with a heroism
that shows the% freedom can still
