The Canada Food Board is removing the restrictions upon the consumption of pork. But what's the difference. with poi k prices soaring in the empyrean Britain has made loans to her allies totalling £1.610.500,000 (pounds not dollars). Not so had for a little country that. at -cording to some people, was ruin- ing itself by free trade. The Canadian Railway War Board after investigation declares that manufacturers have increased their profits out of all proportion to the increase in their cost of production. Some people have had sus picion of this for a long time. The fifth innings of the war finds Foch's team at bat and hitting strong. while the Crown Prince's pitchers have lost control and are receiving poor sup- port in the held. It is not likely the C. P.'s will finish nine innings. It is estimated by experts that the coal resources of the United States and Canada amount to' _.6:16000.000,000 tons. Must be something wrong about the figures. Right here is Goderich there are more than nine coalbins with 0 in them. The Great War Veterans tri convention at Toronto decided that at meetings of the Association the singing of the Na- tional Anthem should be preceded by "O Canada." Now watch The Toronto Tele- gram take a fit --not to mention The Orillia Packet. Talk of Imperial preference is being re- vived Canadians cannot object if Great Britain gives their products preferential treatment. but when. in return, Bntain asks for lower Canadian duties on British manufactures what will the protectli interests of Canada say The Collingwoud Bulletin is receiving felicitations upon having entered upon its forty-ninth year of publication. The Signal -in its seventy-first year- has had so many anniversaries that it lets them slip by unheeded. but to a young chap in his forties a birthday is still a birthday. We sish The Bulletin -many happy returns." Dr. Henri Sebald. formerly a member of the Laurier Government. who had been a prisoner in the hands of the Germans since the early days of the war, 'anded at New York on Saturday, and left at once for his old home at Beauce, Quebec. where he had a great reception. Efforts are being made to induce him to enter the Unionist Goventment, but so far he has not accepted the overtures made to him. The Simcoe Reformer has a mysterious reference to "the cotton lords of Man- chester and their organ. which is The Guardian, having brought poor old Eng- land within an eyelash of utter damna- tion." The Reformer should lift the lid a little further; it seems to have something big under cover which the world ought to know about. Or is the editor only exer- cising his inalienable right of talking through his hat? In a letter to The Globe Mr. Hartley Dewart points out that, according to an Act passed by the Legislature fourteen years ago and never repealed. a writ for a bye -election must be issued within three months after a seat becomes vacant. This applies to North Hui on and also to North Oxford, where the vacancies have con- tinued much over the three months. and Mr. Dewart asks if the Hearst Govern- ment considers itself above the law. A committee of the Great War Veter- ans Association. having investigated the grievances laid against the Y. M. C. A. by returned soldiers, brings in a report which may be summed up in the state- ment that. "while certain individual criticisms have been justified. the work done by the Y. M. ,C . A. is beneficial to the soldier." 'rhe committee points out that the value of the Y. M. C. A. would be realized if it ceased to perform its work among the soldiers. That the submarine menace was very serious a year ago was admitted by Sir Eric Geddes, head of the British Admir- alty, in addressing the Houle of Com- mons last week. Ships were being sunk at a rate which soon would have made it an impossibility to continue the war. During the year a gradual improvement has been effected by greater success in combatting the submarines and by an in- creased output of new shipping. so that now the dangerpoint seems to be past. The Allied world was very far from realizing the peril which confronted it a year ago. A crowd of returned soldiers rut eons at Toronto last Friday night and wrecked a number of restaurants, doing damage estimated at nearly, The cause •f the trouble. it is was that a re- issued soldier had been ejected from a Greek restaurant. which was the first to of events for the last six months amply slipsbd and unsatisfactory way in which very important matters involving very large expenditures were rushed through Parliament. the confusing and contra- dictory orders and statements issued by .11 Government officials, the trrucrastination t and shillyshallying in dealing with labor arvj bther troubles. the bad feeling stirred up throughout the country. and lastly the scandal of the Premier and five or six -of his ✓colleagues being absent for weeks, some of them for months in- ' deed. neglecting their official duties at Ottawa and suing sights and attending banquets in Britain. Meantime dissatisfaction sxet1s ani g is Idling freely expresard even by such good loyalists las The Toronto Telegram and World and Mayor Church. Of course there are a few devoted admirers of Pre- mier Borden who would have us believe - that his continued presence in Britain is well nigh indispensable to the safety of - the Empire and the success of The Allied - cause. Indeed. if we are to believe the Toronto News and such ardent Imperial- ists as Sir John Willison and Col. J. B. McLean, he and Premier Hughes of Australia are the Aaron and Nur who are holding up the hands of the British Moses, Lloyd George, who is struggling not only against the Amale- kite Huns abroad. but against the inef- ficiency and disloyalty of his own col- leagues. Most sensible Canadians. however. will require more reliable testimony to induce them to acc.pt such an expianatipn of the Premier's continued absence froth his proper post of duty. ONLOOKER. torily' Premier Borden, to give him his dues, is a gentleman of expellant character. con siderable ability, high ideals. and the best of intentions. and well fitted in ap pearance, manner, and speech to repre sent the Domtnion with credit on any public occasion. Unfortunately, however, these virtues are more than counter balanced by serious defects. He has made it painfully evident on many occasions that he lacks the courage. decision and firmness necessary for a strong and successful leader. At times. too. he has shown a pettiness and selfishness unworthy of him, and an overweening sense of his importance to his party and to the country. which has made him tall an easier victim to flattery. Not only has he never given any special evidence of cdnatructive ability as a statesman, but from the time he be- came Premier in 1911 he proved himself to be deficient alike in backbone and in directing and controlling power. As a consequence time and again. no doubt of- ten against his better impulses and iudg• ment, he yielded to the pressure of the stronger wills of unprincipled advisers as in the case of the Nationalist leaders and Mr. Rogers. When he had formed hisCabi- net, instead of controlling it. he followed the easter plan of practically allowing each member to manage his own department pretty much as he liked. If trouble arose and something had to be done to meet it. he appointed a commission. not so much apparently to remedy the grievance as to gain time and to smooth the matter over as quietly as possible. and incidentally to dispense Government favors to influential supporters. Witness the dozens of white- washing and useless commissions ap- pointed during the last six or seven years. and the scandalous waste of public funds in paying their expenses! The only cases in which he showed. any special firmness were those in which his own dignity or his position as Premier was involved. The Allison and other military scandals did not seem to worry him particularly. but when Sir Sam Hughes signally failed to show him the respect due to his position be promptly `and very properly, asked him to resign. Last session he was firm (stubborn rather. like a spoiled child) in insisting that he must have his own way in dealing with the question of British titles for Cana- dians. but when the next list of such honors was published the personal reason for his determination was evident. He was firm. too, in insisting that th. Con- scription Act and the infamous War Elec- tion Act must ',.be forced through Parlia- mens before M selected Liberal inetnbsra fur bis prOposed coal i tin because he knew that without these two acts and Liberal colleagues be could not possibl y win the election, and he wanted to hav e the tongues and hands of these colleagues tied in advance. so that if they -did not defend him they could not well assail him. Had he been the unselfish patriot that some of his admirers would have us be- 1 lieve, his first step when hr had returned • to Canada from Britain in the spring of 1917, a convert to the necessity as well as the wisdom of conscription, would have been to have an interview with Sir Wil frid Laurier, to tell him what he had learned in Britain, and to appeal to him to join with him on an equal tooting in a real • coalition government under a new premier -an outsider of recognized character, y' abilitanexperience-in carrying out coned iption and a more vt;orouw and effici- ent war policy. i do not know that sir Wil- frid would have a cepted such an offer. but at least it was due to his character. position. and past services to his country that it should have been made to him. and it would have redounded greatly to Sir Robert Borden's credit, whatever had been the outcoms Instead of such a course Sir Robert assumed throughout the negotiations that he was to remain Premier, and was practically to dictate the policy to be pursued, though he was graciously willing to make certain' concessions in regard to Government patronage and civil service reform, etc., in order to secure desirable Liberal members for his Cabinet. Under these circumstances when the Government finally faced the electors it is not strange that many good ' Literals found themselves in a dilemma. They had been forced to the conclusion that. whether conscription in itself was a good thing or not. it had, in consequence of the inefficiency and mismanagement of the Government. became necessary. They telt. too, that the honor and good faith of the Dominion were at stake. that it was of the utmost importance that there should be no doubt that Canada was prepared and resolved to do her full duty in carrying on the war to a trium- phant conclusion. and they knew that a victory for Sir Wilfrid in the electoral con- test would to widely misunderstoxxd and grossly misrepresented. At the sant time how could they bring themselves to seem to endorse the Premier's past re- cord by voting for a Government of which he was still the head. and how , could they expect that if he were given a fresh lease of power there would be any marked improvement in the management of public affairs with his lack of leader- ship and control and the temporary union of such discordant elements, except in so far as the new members of the Cabinet were men of greater ability and More principle? And has not the public record be raided. The next evening there was a series of street fights between the police and the voters, the damage being mainly in broken heads. Such occurrences are very unfortunate. as they tend to discred- it the returned soldiers as Scions, although doubtless many of them, perhaps the great majority. are thoroughly opposed to such lawlessness, and resent the action of the noters as much se anybody. The Great War Veterans Association, which was in ereston at Toronto last week, passed a resolution condemning the riots. IN THE COUNTY COURT. Judgments Delivered in Several Caen by Judge Dickson.

Aug. 5 (Special.) -Those who have not used Dodd's Kidney Pills, and who would like to enquire as to their value as a kidney remedy, can get valuab a information from H. J. Morrison, the postmaster here. "i had been suffering from sore back for over thirty-five years, but after taking the first box of Dodd's Kidney Pills I have never had a moment's pain in my hack. Dodd's kidney Pills are an in- valuable remedy for sore hack, especially if the kidneys are affect»d." It is -because his kidneys were affected that the postmaster got such prompt and permanent relief by using Dodd's Kidney Pills. They are a kidney remedy. Act- ing directly on the kidneys, they put those important organs in condition to do their tull work of straining all the impuri- ties, all the seeds of disease out of the blood. RED CROSS NOTES.

LONDON, Aug. 6. -Advanced lines on a sector nearly halt a wile Ions north of la Basses Canal have been evacuated by they Germans and the British have pushed forward and oc- cupied this ground. Following the withdrawal of the Germans In the region of Albert, all the bridges across the Ancre river In the region covered by the retire- ment have been destroyed. The Ger- mans are still holding the river cross - lag in the village of Albert, South of, the town the line now rugs from Dernancourt to Meaulte, about two miles to the northeast and thence to' Albert. This new line is under heavy artillery ere from the enemy guns. Further south, along the Avre riv- er, where the Germans retired from their positions on the west bank on Saturday, all the bridges scrota the river have been destroyed and the roads leading to them have been dynamited. French troops have reached the railroad line between Montdidier and Amiens over otrtually Its entire length. They occupy all the hills dominating the valley of the,Avre. The towns of Morisel and Moreuil, on opposite sides of the Avre about ten miles north of Montdidler, are still In the hands of the Germans. During the retiretwent of the enemy from the hills on the west bank of the Avre a few prisoners were cap- tured by the French. It 14 reported that there is fighting in Hargicourt, on the left bank of the river. where the Germans hold the railroad station. The enemy is still In Morlsel.

HOSPITAL SnIP SUNK. . • Number of Wounded Men Murdered by Germans. LONDON. Aug. 6. - The British ambulance transport Warilda, en route from France for a British port with wounded men, was torpedoed and sunk oil Aug. 3, and l!!3 of the 760 en board perished. The ship was tearing home from Prance whoa else waa struck is the after part of the engin•-room. Three members of the staff were killed here and the dynamos were destroyed, plunging the vessel tato darkness. Just over the dynamo was the wardroom, containing more than 100 patleats, Most of these were killed outright by the explosion. The oth- ers, injured by the explosion, were trapped and perished, except for a few who. jumped overboard and were picked up. After being torpedoed the ship re- mained afloat for two hours and a quarter. Immediately after the ex- plosion eve boats were !attached, but before they could be cleared they were smashed and many of their oc- cupants were drowned. Destroyers rushed to the spot where the •ubmartne was seen to submerge and dropped depth charges. More than 650 survivors have been landed at a British pert. The Admiralty last evening Issued she following cosamualeation con- cerning the torpedoing and sinking of the steamer Warilda: "The homeward -bound ambulance transport Warilda was torpedoed and sunk on Aug. 3." The Warilda was built at Glasgow in 1912. She was 411 feet long, had a beam of 60 feet and • depth of 34 feet. Her registered tonnage eras 7.713.
