NOW GETTING IT STRAIGHT
(Ottawa Free Press)
(Liberal)
The preeentatton of the statement
showing that up to the time the Beet -
ram Shell Committee ceased to exist
it had scoured from the war office and
placed among the Canadian manufac•
threes contracts to a value of over
three million dollars. should assist jn
restoring public opinion to the point
where it can obtain a correct view of
tbie whole ehell business,
It was SIr Sam Hughes' idea, first,
that shells would be needed in enor-
mous quantities, and second, that
Canadian manufacturers could supply
some of these shells. Sir Sam Hughes
did, four weeks after the declaration
of war, what unfortunately they did
not sU' in England until six months
later, namely, proceed to organize the
private factories an a war basis.
For the carrying out of hia idea, Sir
Sam enlisted the voluntary services of
Colonel Alex. Bertram and three other
manufacturers. The contrast between
the Bertram -vigorous, keen, enthus-
iastic -of 1911 when he accepted a task
that meant the eventual creation of an
organization to handle orders for over
$300,000,000 and the Bertram of to -day
-aged, worn and tired -although just
hack from a period of rest, provides
startling evidence of the weight of re-
sponsibility and labor that the mem'
hers of the committee have born with-
out hope of remuneration and with an
eye single to the patriotic duty of the
hour.
Three hundred million dollars worth
of munition orders have meant that
Canadian factories which otherveiee
would be now shut down, have been
for monthsworking full time and over
time, have meant that the Canadian
artisans who otherwise would walk
the streets have _ been `earning larger
wages than before the war, have
ea+aant that unemployment and charity
humane which otherwise would be
.o•verwleamed have bad to practically
go oat of business because of the ab-
,senceeof,distress.
,Ins-'esd of throwing up their hands
cin holy horror at the thought that
.some outside brokers made fat com-
missions out of the desperate needs of
Abe Bertram shell committee in 'trying
;to secuxe contracts for Canada and
munitions for the front, instead of
damning patriotic public servants who
have sacrificed years of their lives, the
Canadian people and the Canadian
manufacturers ought to be passing re-
solutions of gratitude to Sir Sam
Hughes for his forethought and to the
,Bertram shell committee for their
,wonderful work.
,Knowing the facts, The Free Frees
ilia alloyed to exasperation by editorials
like the following from the Toronto
Globe, that we are Inclined to shock
our readers with the emphatic Ian•
guage of a Watterson:
Had the Prime Minister and hie
colleagues heeded earnest warnings
and honest criticisms in the early
,months of the war they would not
,:now be entangled in the meshes of
,ei Vudicial investigation of their con-
-ducts and, what is still more import -
,ant. the troops at the battlefronts
would not have been left all these
critical months without the muni-
tions Canada ought to have furnish-
ed. The needless slaughter of the
,men in the trenches is moredamning
to Canada's war administration than
,all possible criticisms in Parliament
.could be. In the judgment of histojry
the fault.8n'?ing words in Perita-
' merit, will not be ;recorded, but the
cries of the soldiere left without,
•shells to 'answer the shells of the
an:e,ny can never be silenced. That
aril-le/rem will never cease to bite.
It was just because the Bertram
Shell Committee were so animated
with the urgency of the need for sbe11,e
that they' did things that are now be-
sng.eondemned; and it was because the
War office at the opening of the war.
Wats not as awake to the mei as Sir
Sam Hughes that there was at the out -
,set a shortage of shells at the front,

Women and Thrift
Upon the women of the Iand will
rest the greatest hardens of success in
the campaignbeen
. far thrift that hoe
inaugurated. As heade of the assure•
hold they are the chancellors of do•
Mettle exahequere. It le for them to
bear In mind that expenditure upon
articles that are not actually needed
ie not alone lessening their own re-
sources but also depriving the country
of something that might ne more pro-
fitably applied. The majority of men
will agree that so far as the household
le concerned their women are pretty
thrifty. i3ut btioginess, parsimonious
nese, or miserliness is not thrift. The
thrifty woman combines with a na-
tural. aptitude for economy the wt,"
dom. of selection and utilie t,tfon. She
knows when to save and when to
spend, She knowe what is necessary
and what can be done without and she
makes the beet le o of everything.
Neither does she do all things herself,
When help is at hand she utilizes it
with discretion,
The great aid to thrift is thoughtful.
nese. In fact without that element
thrift is utterly out of the question,
The thrifty woman, too, not only
exerciees wisdom herself but eees that
herthildren do the wine thing not by
n
indulging them but 4,y rielegaxi g to
them bundry offices) of which they are
capable, by making them self-reliant,
But the woman cannot do all these
things by herself. She must enjoy the
support, countenance and influence of
her menkind. The greatest enemy to
thrift is the promisouous doling out of
the money. Is it not to boys and girls
a sign of good nature; it is death to
the recipient. It poisone their die.
positions and sows seeds of weeds that
can never be eradicated. For that
sort of thing women are but little re-
sponsible, hut where their efforts
shine ie in allowing nothing to go to
waste, in making use of everything,
aed in exercising ingenuity in food,
dress, household labour and the bring-
ing up of children. An incentive to
the accomplishment of these thrifts is
a reflection upon the times, upon the
needs and experience of their male
relatives at the front, and upon the
fact that every ounce saved is a con-
tribution to the welfare of the country
and perhaps to winning the war,

Going Out Of Fashion
To the lilditort
Dr. Woods Hutchison writes in the
National Daily-
" When
aily-•'When Alcohol was fust discovered
it was all bu'l worshipped, it watt look-
ed upon as the magician, the consoler
that could make the sick well, the sor-
rowful merry, and the poor man a
millionaire. Children were given it to
make them grow; workmen drank it
to make them strong; ministers took It.
just before going into the pulpit to
fill them with the epir'it, and mothers
depended upon it to enable them to
nourish the next generation,
The breath .of the race fairly reeked
with alcohol, From christening an
'infant -"to wet the baby's head" -to
the launching of a battlethip, no cere-
mony was complete without it. Of
course its dangers and penalties were
early seen when taken in excess, but
in moderation it was "God's good
gift." To how late a date that att.
tude existed In the Western world is
almost incredible to most of us now
living, who have grown up in the days
of Prohibition and total abstinence.
As an illustration, the earliest Tem-
perance Society on record in America,
was one formed in Maesachusets about
1820 by a group of serious and sober
minded citizens whose pledge ran as
follows -"We, the undersigned, recog•
nieing the evils of drunkenness and
resolved to check its Warming increase
with consequent poverty, misery and
crime, among our people, hereby
solemnly pledge ourselves that we
will not get drnnk more than four
times a year, via , Fourth of July,
Muster Day, Christmas pay and Sheep
Sheering,"
We have come far since then, and
done much to check the excessive use
of alcohol but it was only during the
last few decades that we began to
seriously question the wisdom of the
daily use of alcohol even In the mild•
est forme and in strictest moderation.
The myth of its food value was of
oourse long ago exploded, but the idea
still persisted that it increased working
powers. Finally some live or six years
ago, experts decided to give the gues,
tion a thorough laboratory test and
try -out. The actual results were as-
tonishingly uniform in all ten of the
trade the occupation groups tested.
The men during the days of abstinence
turned out from five to ten per cent
more work than they had been aver,
aging before and as soon as they got
back to their liquor their' out=put fell
right back to the old level,

Dear Friend: -We arrived here a
week ago and it has rained every day
since This is a big camp about three
miles .wide. We live in huts, thirty
in each. We sleep on the floor and
every way we have ta rough it here.
I was talking to the Irvine boys from
Winnipeg. They were on the ettme
boat as I came on and Miss Hanna
came over the same time. All nurses
rank as lieutenants, so we did not get
the chance to speak to her; they are
very strict over here. '
Well the boat we came an was a,
vet y fast one or we would have "Ever
reached England as. we were chased
by three submarines but wo were too
fast and two cruisers of the British
navy came to our assistance anti' we
got' away and we were glad when we
