Attend the fell fait next week and keep in touch with the agricultural ani industrial development of the dis- trict. The county council bas done well in the matter of the patriotic fund. Now let us all get to work to raise the money to pay our taxes wheo the bill comes in. Hua The Toronto Globe become rec- onciled with Sir George Foster since the latter's public declaration, "My soul cries out for the closed barroom." A few year, ago The Globe didn't believe that Foster bad • soul. There are various avenues to fame. We did not know there was sucbsper- son as Sir Herbert Holt, of Mentresil, until be cawe out in a newspaper in- terview as a war oracle. Now almost every newspaper in the country is call• Ing him an ass. Stratford has done splendidly in the recruiting for the 71st Battalion. U'p to Monday night 145 men had enlisted there, at St. Marys 41), at Listowel ]4 and at Mitchell 7, the total being only four short of the Y50 asked for from the county of Perth. Reeve Joynt cf Lucknow declares his intention of giving one thousand dollars a year to the national patriotic fund oolong as the war hate. Tly•ts L practical .patriotism. 11 should how he inclined to "nave ti so,- he has earned the privilege. Bulgaria may well be excused for hesitating to jump into the war on one side or the other. 1f she sides with the Allies -see what happened to Belgium. 11 she falls into line with the Teutons, she may be very sorry for it a year hence. Neutrality is not the noble at- titude, but it has its points. A church court has been debating the question whether congregations should sing the verse of the National Anthem in which the Almighty is asked to "frustrate the kowish tricks" of the King's enemies. Some of the clergymen thought it sounded boo much like • "hymn of hate," but the discussion closed with the singles en masse of the verse in question. A statement made toy one of the speakers addresaing the county coun- cil on Monday was that the Federal Government has no power to impose direct taxation. There is no such re- striction of the powers of the Federal Government. Provincial Governments in Canada may impose direct taxation only ; the Federal Government may tax both directly and indirectly. •'Comparisons me odious," and eoruetilnes misleading. We are In- formed that Mr. W. C. Rein at one of the meetings addressed by him gave soma figures as to recruiting which tended to show that Huron county bad done very poorly in this respect. Such figures take no account of the tact that many recruits from the rural Sections collet .t the larger metres, and that students attending collage le hive centres are credited, when they enlist, to the college city instead of the places from which they come. We believe it would he found, on a fair comparison, that Goderich has dose considerably better, in proper tion to population, than the city of Toronto.

Some of them relating to plans. and so forth, might well be an embarrassment to answer. "It should be remembered that there are a milli a and ooe-half people of German blood in Courland and the Baltic Provinces of Russia. These Provinces have been German in sym- pathy, though Russian politically and in name, for two centuries. Some of Russia's t.•'st generals ass of German descent.

The Duma, too, is new. and unaccustomed to par- liamentary arliamentary procedure. From the be- ginning, eight years ago, it has been difllciolt to deal with so many parties and races. It is highly possible that • certain element toy their ember. rasing tactics have caused the Gov- ernment to prorogue the Duma. Russia's hands have been tied practic- ally, until of late, so many of the ablest Russians were of German race.

"What -reading between the lines - do you make of the assumption of the supreme command of the army end navy by the C'r.ar, and the d.pns.tion of the (.rand Duke Nicholas?" was asked. "There again I am without direct lnforuation." was the reply "We can only speculate. There are two point. of view of the campaign -the military and ine political. The Duke. 1 assume, took the purely military point of view. The political one is also permissible. The Puke evacuated Warsaw, it is said, some time before it was really necessary to do so. Those who held the political point of view claimed this was a military advantage not great enough to override the poli Seal disadvantage 1t may be they were right; it way be they were not. But they were strengthened by the fact that while military dictates would have led to the early abandon- ment of Port Arthur in the Manchur- lan campaign. the political party insisted upon its retention. and aa it proved this was not • bad plan. The Jape spent their force on Port Arthur, and couldn't exert full strength at Mukden. 1f Wareew bad held out two .r three weeks Bulgaria and Roumania might bars romp into the war before its fall, on the side of the Allies.

"Another possibility is that owing to the situation in the Dardaoelle•, and the impending fall ol Constantin- ople, the Grand Duke has been sent to the Caucasus to take charge of an im- portant movement there. Also it is possible that the Grand Duke is worn out by the strenuous campaign, and baa been relieved in this way." -Tor- onto Star.
