EDITORIAL NOTES.
This will be known in future years as
the summer without strawberry short-
cake. _ _
Winter is a gay old boy. Not content
with lingering in the lap of Spring, he is
carrying on a flirtation with Mus July.
And he seems to have got her, too.
The air is full of strikes and rumors of
strikes. Whoever drops his job these
days must show good reason, or he will
not get much public sympathy.
It might not be a bad idea for the Food
Board to swear off issuing any more new
regulations for a month. say. and let the
public get acquainted with those already
issued. This steady stream of rules and
instructions and injuactions and prohibi-
tions is bewildering.
Government by order -in -council is re-
ceiving some severe jolts. As a result of
proceedings taken on behalf of draftees
under the Military Service Act, several
judges have declared that an order•in-
council cannot override an act of Parlia-
ment, and consequently the regulations
abolishing exemptions already granted are
pronounced invalid. This may be awk-
ward for the military authorities, but it
ought to teach the Cabinet at Ottawa
that British countries must be governed
on British principles. A special session
of Parliament may be necessary to get
things out of the tangle into which the
Government has got them.
One of the conwquencea of the war is
the deserted condition of the schools of
nursing. It is stated by hospital author-
itie• that the time will soon come when
hospital doors will have to be closed or
arrangements made whereby patients can
be cared for by their relatives. Hospital
autho ities are considering the wisdom of
issuing an extensive appeal to the young
women of Canada to take up the nursing
profession by enrolling in the t•anous
schools of nursing. most of a hich are con-
ducted in conjunction with general.hos-
pitals. So many of the trained nurses
have gone into military service that
the civilian hospitals find it most
difficult to beep this important branch of
their staffs fully manned.
The Signal was asked the other day
why it did not publish the regulations of
the Fwd Board, so that the people of
Goderich and vicinity might be kept in-
formed. The editor's reply was that if be
published all he received from the Food
Board there would hardly be room for
anything else in The Signal. On the day
this paragraph is being written enough
"literature" came from the Food Board
and another public service department, in
one mail. to fill three or four pages of The
Signal. Some people may be unwittingly
violating some of the food regulations, in
the absence of information as to what the
regulations really are; but The Signal can-
not undertake the task of keeping up with
the activities of the Food Board.
The Orillia Packet entertains the rather
strange notion that the war has cast dis-
credit upon Britain's policy of free trade.
It is pretty hard to get a protectionist to
see facts; but one would imagine that the
spectacle of free -trade Britain financing
the war for three years for her protec.
tionist Allies, and the British merchant
marine—the product of British free trade
—a large factor in the salvation of the
Allied cause, could hardly escape the
notice of anyone not wilfully blind. It is
perhaps too much to expert The Packet
to give up its worship of the prottionist
fetish, but any newspaper thattook
part in 1911 in the senseless cry of no
truck or trade with the Yankee" should
at least refrain from airing its obsolete
fiscal notions in this year of enlightenment.
We do not essay the role of a prophet,
but we fancy that after the war Britain
will continue to be the champion of free
trade and liberty, and that throughout
the world there will be more, rather than
less, freedom of trade.
Mortality continues at a high rate among
the newspapers in towns and small cit es,
several publications having died a more or
less natural death within the last few
weeks. There is a peril here which should
not be lightly regarded. It has been a
complaint in the past --a complaint well
founded, too—that city opinion is given
much stronger expression than rural
opinion, and that in this way city inter-
ests get an advantage which its used in
many ways to the detriment of the urban
diMncta and of the country as a whole.
The city press circulating among the
country people. while only comparatively
kw they people ever see a country wewkiy,
is a great factor in this condition of
*Sates. Every country weekly ne small
town daily that truthfully reflects the en-
lightened opinion of its own community
helps to counteract this undue influence, 01
the city press. and in their own interests
the people of the rural and small-town
rYxmiunitie]s should see that every legiti-
mate support is given to the country
prom and that newspapers that deserve to
live are not allowed to die.

Are Sailors Superstiro s?
London .tdrett wen.
There are times and occasions when
water will not take the place of champagne,
although as a thirst -quencher it un-
doubtedly is superior. One such occa-
sion arose in Toronto on Satur•
day when the wooden steamer
"War Ontario" was launched. The
officials of the imperial munitions
board had suggested that the bottle of
champagne used, according to time-
honored custom. to christen a vessel, be
dispensed with and a bottle of aqua pura
be used in its place. and this idea had
been accepted aith good grace by the
builders: but there was another voice to
be heard.
Sailors and vesselrnen united in pro-
testing loudly against this tempting of
fate. They argued that such a prohibi-
tion christening would bring a streak of
bad luck to the vessel and intimated.
further. that there weeds be great difffs
culty in obtaining a crew to work the
new ship if the bottle of fizz were omitted
from the christening ceremony. This put
a different complexion on the matter alto-
gether, and the sailors won the daffy,
Lady Hearst. who performed the cere-
mony, not being averse to handling the
dangerous stuff.
Superstition dies hard and cannot be
ignored with impunity. Sailors are no
cowards; either on the seas or the Great
Lakes there is no room for any but brave
men. Nevertheless they have their tra-
ditions and they object to departing from
them. The superstition may •be all non-
sense, but. they ask, why take chances?
Perhaps they are right in avoiding even
the suspicion of unnecessary danger.
Reports do not announce who provided
the bottle of champagne, but• there does
not seem to have been any difficult!' in
obtaining it.

To the Editor of The Signal.
MAR SIR—If a man may be tined
11600.00 for telling the truth, how much
ought a man to receive for telling an un-
truth' is a conundrum that is being pro-
pounded in certain quarters their days.
The answer is: Ask Donald Hunt, the
implication being that he might let one
into the secret as to the amount he re-
ceived for saying nice things about cer-
tain august personages who, lie the
kings of old, would like to be cotred
as persons who "can do no wrong." and,
like Caesar's wife, above suspicion.
In view of the tact that it has been de-
creed that it is contrary to the law to
criticise the Government. the logical con -
elusion is that it is the duty of all good
citizens to defend the Government in all
Us actions. and to accept as truth all that
any member of the Government may. in
histo their wisdom, tell ue. even though
we have personal knoaledge to the con.
Crary. And as a good citizen of Canada
let me say that surely that is not too
much to ask in these times of stress and I
strain. Surely it .s not too much to ask ,
the people of this country to
believe that the Government had nor'
otter motive than the production of
food when, ten days or so before the elec-
tion. they passed an order -in -council
exempting farmers under the Military Ser-
vice Act. even though it was at a time
when the farmers' sons were not needed
at home and thousands o; them sere
flocking to the towns and cities to get
work fur the winter. And it does not re-
quire any great stretch of the imagination
to accept as gospel truth that when the
Government had been returned to power
by the votes of the men exempted from
military sen•ice by the order -in -council of
December 3rd. in the belief that they
would be allowed to engage unmolested
in the production of foodstuffs, the mili-
tary exigencies of the times demanded
the cancellation of those exemptions,
even though it was at a time when the
farmer aas needed on the land to put in
his crop. And surely any reasonable
man can see that it has been far more to
the interests of the Allied cause to have
our farmers' sons drilling at one of the
military camps than to have left them on
the farms to sow crops and reap food-
stuffs, even though there is grave danger
of the allied nations having to face a
serious food shortage in the very near
future. A man may have to mop his
brow and make sure there are no cobwebs
before his mental vision in order to see
these things clearly; but if he is a good
loyal citizen he will not stop at mopping
his brow or sweeping away cobwebs, or
removing anythtng that obscures his
vision and prevents him from seeing that
black is white a hen the Government says
it is 80.

handful of men in a Provincial Legisla-

the cold—when such a man with his
superior mental qualifications. moral

PRIvA'lt'_ and secret letter
written to King Ferdinand
of Roumania by Emperor
Charles of Austria-Hungary
In the latter part of February tuark- t
ed the turning point In Roumanla's
participation In the world war, and
was one of the deciding !actors in u
long series of Intrigues which event-
ually broke the spirit of the Rou-
maafan King. Under this outside
preseure King Ferdinand changed
from an ardent supporter of the war
against Germany into a lukewarm
and vaccinating opportunist and tin-
nily into a distinct peace advocate.
"Thla is a time when kings most
stick together." This is the most
striking sentence of the letter of Cm-
peror Charles. The letter has never
been published, sod its existence up
to this time has been known to
only a few persons outside the
highest court circles In Roumania.
A summary of ler ,:omenta was com-
municated to the American Minister
and to the Associated Press corre-
spondent In Jassy by a high omcial,
who is one of the most steadfast
friends of the Allies at the Rouman-
ian court.

The earlier attitude of King Ferdi-
nand toward the war offers a strik-
ing eoatraat to the subservie•t tone
of hie letter to Premier tllartbiboman.
As late as mid-February the king
expressed to the Associated Preen

view or a statement showing his loyal
adherence to the alHance with th'
entente should be published in
America.
An atuiience wan erranged, but un-
fortunately. the report of the inter-
view was sent by way of Odessa. A
strike of Boteevtk t graph oper-
ators there prevented t -front going
any farther.
On the subject of poste proposals
by the central powers, Which was'
then the ail -important Object in
Jassy, the king in the Iatereterw de-
clred: "It would be unthinkable
for Roumania to aeeept peat with-
out the consent of her allies for
Roumania to make such a CP

Concerning his relations with the
German and Austrian Emperors, the
king said:

REVOLUTION IN AUSTRIA.
Aa Opportunity That the Allies
Overlooked.
Under the headed "Wasted Oppoe'
tualtles,", the New York Times re-
cently published an editorial begin-
nlag with the queries: "Hare the
Allies been 'too late' with Austria?
What would have been the effect on
the battlefront in France to -day if
they had begun at the earliest mo-
ment to encourage the aspirations tor
freedom of the subject peoples In the
Austro-Hungarian monarchy? If Ger-
many were to -day turning to meet
an Austro-Hungarian revolution
would she be on the Marne'"
Almost a year • ago Wolf von
Scblerbrand, in his book "Austria-
Hungary: The Polyglot Empire," la-
mented the wasted opportunities of
the Allies. in the Dual Monarchy. He
pointed out three diplomatic high-
ways by which the Allied statesmen
could have succeeded In introducing
a wedge between Germany and her
supporters. The first was by an ap-
peal to the deep-seated hatred of
Austrians and Hungarians for Prus-
sia, and a guarantee of protectioa
against Prussian conquest. The se-
cond was to have taken advantage,
at the very beginning of the war. of
the hesitancy of Hungary, who stood
ready to break with Austria, so Mr.
Mr. von Schierbrand asserts, and to
Bing in her resourced on the side of
the Allies, If they In turn, were will-
ing to protect her from violation.
Hungary's attitude was strengthened
by her friendly feeling toward the
United States. The third was an offer
of autonomy to Austria -Hungary's
numerous subject races. This plan
would have Included Independence
for Hungary. and the formation of
a new South Slavic state, comprising
Croatia, the Banat, Slavonia, Bosnia,
Herzegovina, Istria. Dalmatia, etc.
Instead of pursuing any of theme
roads, which lead to disaster tor
Prussian dreams, the. Allies busied
themselves flirting with Russia, and
making promises of territorial prises
for good conduct, all of which threat-
ened Austro-Hungarian ambitions.
It was this policy which united the
fast disintegrating monarchy and lin-
ed her up on the side of Prussia. It
it is not yet "too late" and the Allies
have at last awakened to their wast-
ed opportunities in the Dual Mon-
archy, this book furnishes the solid
basis of fact in regard to the poly-
glot peoples which should underly
any wise policy of handling them.
Ancient Advertisements.
Writers of advertisements for de-
partment stores. who were fond of
endless detail In spreading their store
news before the public. might gather
a lesson from the Baltimore Ameri-
can's recent reprint of its first issue,
dated, August 20, 1773. This con-
tains an advertisement of a Balti-
more jeweller. After enumerating
part of his stock, be concludes: "Sil-
ver ! [tsel top'd thimbles, pincush-
ion hoops and chains, with sundry
other articles, too tedious to men-
tion. Another advertisement in the
pre-Revolutionary paper above quot-
ed runs as follows:
Baltimore, August 18. 17 73.
Many people in this Town and
Tell'. Poldt kavheg hitherto neglect-
ed to pay their public Dues this year,
my deputy has my orders to execute
every person that bas not paid, with-
out distinction, as I am to leave the
once in November, and alt accounts
must be settled with
J. R. HOLLIDAY,
Sheriff of Baltimore County.
No doubt the exasperated sheri(
bore uses the word "execute" IR the
legal serer of eaforving a judgment
or writ of execution to sell the offen-
der's property. and does not mean
to threaten him with sudden death If
he tails to pay.
What Is a Doughtiest?
"What is a doughnut?" The ques-
tion is not nearly so important as
"where 1a a doughnut?" But few
people now know how to make
doughnuts. The genuine doughnut
Is a matter of substance, not shape.
It Is perfume, not persiflage. 1t must
be golden brown; hot from the deep
lard; not sugared (sugar is a crime);
smelling like home and mother and.
Thanksgiving perfumes like basting
of turkeys, simmering of mince pies
and browning of sugar cookies. A
doughnut may be made like a little
man and tried until he wanks at lit-
tle boys who eat them like cannibals,
but the usual form of the doughnut
1s a rim of ecstasy around a hole of
hope. The hole in a doughnut Is not
an accident. No doughnut may pro-
perly be tried to perfection unless
around a hole, because the solid
dough will not do as Weil unless it
has room to grow beantttul in the
cooki4g. There Is always a reason
In old-fashioned bousekeeping. A
doughnut le as near perfeet as is
mince pie. And mince pie le what
the gods ate on Olympus and called
ambrosial. yhere is another kind of
doughnut called cruller. It is a coi-
rupt►on of the word crueller. Your
digestion will tell you the difference
between the two.
Want Ton Much.
"The Germans," said a novelist,
"growl because they possess no col-
onies. Well, the German empire is
brand new, a very baby. It hasn't
earned its colonies yet. It hasn't
grown up to them. Germany, growl-
ing tor colonies, reminds me of the
little urchin who sat on the curb-
stone weeping bitterly. 'What's the
.atter, sonny? naked a paaaerby. 'All
my brothers have got holidays,' the
urchin bellowed, 'and I—boo, boo—
I doa't ever have none!' 'Why, that's
too bad," said the kind stranger.
'What school do you go to" 'Boo.
hoo! Boo, hoo!' wan the reply, 'i
