THURSDAY. OCTOBER ti 1915 CAUSE FOR OPTIMISM. It has been not infrequently stated by thoughtful people that Germany's present position is better than at the r outbreak cf the war, that the war has not yet reached her soil, that her en- ormous military supplies both in men and in materials have not beta serious- ly depleted, that her fo d supplies still hold out wonderfully well. anti that the great mass of her people ate still in favor of the war and confidently expert victory. It is true that the Allies ate yet a long way from the bcundaries of ties - many. Not only that. but '.erw•n maim '.rorru n all bmt a few Noma' mike of Belgium. all of Luxemburg. part of nortbeattrre France. all of Poland, and are now crowding through to Riga on the north and pomading through Serbia toward the Dardanelles in the south.

Has she been able to launch her hordes against England from Calais? 81.e was enormously Wepued-equipped beyond our wildest dreams, but she was tamely a v est intricate but power- ful machine with conquest and destruc- tion as her one aim. She was checked before Paris, and headed back from her drive towed Calais. And now all along the western front she is slowly but surely letting go her hold before the irresistible pounding of the Allier. We, tuc, are completing en enormous war machine, every Lit the equal of that of Germany. But, in addition, we hare behind it the spirit of defence, protection and .juatice, a powerful sod lasting force in itself. On the eastern front Russia has for some time turned the tables and is now forcing Germany back through Galicia and retaking towns and tetri- tory recently taken from ber by tier - teeny. Only in the northwest around Riga it Germany causing any serious trouble to Bombs and even these events seem t3 be slowly turning in favor ot Rwaia.

The Canadian Wes. is calling loudly for free trade In wheat. 1t would add to the purchasing power of the people of the West and to this extent would iccrease the rerources of our country. Sir Charles Davidson, the Govern- ment commissioner. is still unearthing war contract scandals. At Regina he discovered serious shortages in the accounts for hay and oats supplied for militat y purposes. The execution of Miss Cavell, the English nurse, has intensified the horror with which the world looks upon the Prussian mtet:rode of con- ducting war. The Raiser and his generale are running up a terrible bill which they will have to pay some day. Botha has triumphed in the South African elections. One of the meet striking circumstances of the past year is Abe way in which British people everywhere hare learned to trust the man who a few years ago was a leader in the revolt of the Boers against the British power in Africa.

The Berne cor-espoedeot of The Pall Mall &•sett• says (ierma.y's "Hymn of Hate" has been supplanted by "The Chant of the German Sword" --a composition brouiht out in Leipsic • week or so ago. which has already run Into ball-a-dczeo editions. This is what its aoonynenue author makes the "German sword" say : "It is no duty of brine to be either twigji of compassionate ; it sumces that I am sanctified by my exalted mission. •ed that I blind the eyet of my en- emies with such screams of team as shall make the proudest of them cringe in terror under the Fault of heaven. "I have slaughtered the okl and the sorrowful: i have struck off the breasts of women ; and i have run through the body of ebillren who gaze at me with the eyes of the wounded lior.. "Day after day 1 ride aloft on the shadowy bores in the valley of Cy- presses ; and as I ride i draw forth are life blood from every enemy's ens that dares to dispute my path. "It le meet and right that i 'boots Wry aloud my pride, for am I not the laming messenger of the Lord Al- mighty ? "Germany is so tar above and be- yond ell the other nations that all the rest of the earth, he they who they 'nay, should feel tbemselves well done bywhets they are allowed to NRbt witthe dogs for the crumbs that fall fres ber tal+le.
