weather man of late has come in for a
good deal of complaint for the cold spell
of the past few weeks, which has
proved very disagreeable to farmers in
saving their bean crop. There is a very
large acreage in this section, and nearly
the whole crop is in a bad state. Many
acres have been cut for five or six weeks
and the beans are rotting in the fields,
as the farmers can make no headway in
harvesting them. while the portion of the
crop that has not been cut is being badly
damaged by the heavy frosts. On the
whole the (-retire* for the bran farmers
is anything but premising. Some of the
older settlers will remember that in the

THE iNEVITABLE QUEBEC.— The Cana-
dian Magazine for November contains
two articles on "The Inevitable Quebec"
which are of unusual interest just now.
The first is by H. C. Hocken. editor of
The Orange Sentinel. It is a criticism of
Quebec from the standpoint of the On-
tario man who sees in Quebec a menace
to the best interests of the whole Da -
minion. The other is hy Mr. Hugh A.
Ryan, a Roman Catholic. who defends
Quebec on the ground that the people of
that Province have alvrays shown their ,
loyalty to Great Britain and have taken '
their proper place in the eettlement, I
pioneer work ami general advancement of
the Dominion. Thew articles give a
better general understanding of the posi-
tion of Quebec in the Dominion.
THE TEN -MILLION LIMIT
Guelph Mercury.
Things are done at Ottawa in a vra
that is splendidly calculated to make the
rayman wonder where he is at. A short
time ago an accredited judge found Hon.
Robert Rogers guilty of certain irregular -
Hies A couple of superannuated officials
were called in and they reported that
Rogers was a dandy.
The Government spent thousands to
get a e:port on the railway situation in
Canada. The maionty report, signed by
Messrs. Drayton and Acwortt. stated that
sixty millions of C. N. R. stock is "with-
out value or equity of redemption to the
stockholders." In plain English it means
that the stock claimed to be worth sixty
millions on paper is worth nothing at all,
and the Government surely would not be
justified in paying anything for an alleged
equity that ao competent a board as
Messrs. Drayton and Acworth said was
worth nothing at all.
But an order -in -council is now passed
at Ottawa stating that not more than ten
millions shall be paid for the stock.
If the stock is aliened to be worth sixty
millions. why -place the limit to be paid at
ten ? the Government afraid that the
arbitrator it has named is not competent,
or that he will be flimfLemmed ?
The case in short is: The Drayton -
Acworth report says the stock has no
value. The order -in -council says the
C. N. R. shall not be paid more than ten
milbons for it.
And the layman who is still wondering
whether the Hon..Bob Rogers is Wrack or
white now has the added worry of won-
dering if Messrs Drayton and Acworth
know anything at -all, or whether they
were talking through their hats.

LONDON, Nov. 6, --The AuStro-
German forces operating against the
Italians along the Tagliamento River
from the region of the Carole Alpe
southward to the Adriatic Sea are
proving a serious menace.
The invade"; of Venetia have
driven their way across the river at
Pitman° and are proceeding west-
ward, while to the north, on the
Italian left wing, Intensive opera-
tions are being carried obit by the
Teutonic allies, the two manoeuvres
probably having as their objective
the cutting off of the entire right
wing of General Cadorna's army.
The Berlin War Office in its an-
nouncement of the forting of the
river says 6,000 Italians were made
prisoner and that an additional num-
ber of guns also were taken. The
Italian official communication makes
only brief mention of the operation,
merely asserting that the enemy suc-
ceeded in bringing some of his forces
\ to the rigbt bank of the stream.
There is no indication as yet whe-
r it is the intention of General Ca-
na to endeavor to maintain the
lament° line, but it is not lin-
ble that his stand here is a tem
one while positions of greater
are being ,prepared in rear.

THE DUTCH AUTHORITIES
ADMINISTER BELUIAN RELIEF.
On the declaration of war by the Un-
ited States the American Government
found it necessary,' to withdraw from Bel-
gium all the American members who had
supervised and directed the monumental
work of relief in the stricken country.
The work could not be abandoned and
it was necessary in the interest of the
Allies that the work be supervised by
neutral peopk of undoubted integnity to
insure that as in the past the Germans
would in noway interfere,with the work or
profit by the imports of food.
Mr Herbert C. Hoover, who gained
fame from his remarkable activities in Bel-
gium, had foreseen Amenca's entry into
the war and had accordingly taken all
necessary precautions.
As a rtsult, the American members of
the Comm ssion in Belgium were replaced
by Dutch representatives selected by the
Dutch Government from among the best
men in Holland. with Jonkheer Charles
Ruys de Beerendroeck at the head to
succeed Mr. Hoover. The Dutch repre-
sentatives have been approved by the
British Government and by the members
of the Belgian Relief Commission.
That the best typ! of mtm have been
selected is indicated by the etatement of
Mr. Hugh Gibson, v.cretary of the Amer-
ican Embasey in London, who says: "The
feeding of the children of Belgium must
continue. Withdraws of diplomatic offi-
cials and workers Of the Belgian Relief
Commission will not hinder nor disturb
the distribution of food supplies. The
Dutch authorities and Relief CAmmittee
who are taking over the work or The Be,-
gian Relief Commission are competent
and understand the situation and are cer-
tain to carry on the work with efficiency."
Canada is mainly interested at the pre -
ent time in the guilds designated to assist
the little children whs are breakiog down
under the totally inadequate ration of
bowl of soup and a slice of bread per day;
and also in the fund to take care of !
friendless orphans in stricken Belgium.

these have been carried to safety.
Nothing that the enemy could utilise
has been left behind.
"This Immense evacuation has
been achieved under enemy fire.
Our rearguard fought furiously for
nine days. Our second and third
armies are now on the deployment
line. And everything tQ in a state of
fullest efficiency. The enemy 1s far
from his base and unable to com-
mand -Us large reserves; 'while ours
are now nearer our base than they
were.
"Now begins the task of establish-
ing our equilibrium in order to,break
the equilibrium of the enemy.
The omcial report reads:
"Along the line of the Tagllamen-
to there was artillery activity as both
Bides of the river. We replied with'
our fire and various counter-attacks
to Intensified enemy pressure on our
left wing.
"During the sight of November 2-
3 our aviators flew over the left bank
of the Tagliamento and destroyed
various ammunition depots not evac-
uated during the withdrawal. Yes-
terday two German aeroplanes were
brought down at Oderao and Co-
drolpo."
"In the zone of Gludicaria, after
long artillery preparation, strong
enet y detachments attacked advanc-
ed posts In the Daone and Giumell
valleys. They were repulsed after
heavy lighting and left a few pris-
oners in our bands.
After trials such as a great mili-
tary body baa seldom experienced,
the new Italian army Is now recon-
stituted. with regiments, brigades,
and divisions reformed ,and Its con-
centration on new Tines is being
gradually established.
The situation shows the spirit and
mofale of the troops heartened, and,
while conditions along the fighting
front ••ntlnue grave, yet the rapid-
ity of the reformation and the re-
newal of steadiness and stability
among all ranks has Improved the
general situation.
