The post ,notable effect was seen in the extraordinary response of the people of the British !glee to the great National War Loan, the Urltieb public as a unit realizing that the win* ning of the present war is something in which not jnerely our soldiers and sailors but every liiritieh subject can aseist and .possibly hasten. The Clauedlan public has now before it a third domestic war loan and ite success promisee to excel its two pre- decessors. Let all Canadiaue look up. on it ae a Victory Loan; and, while a very special call coulee at thie time to those in afltitant, circumetancee to de• vote, not some small portion, but the great part of their available resources to this War Loan,. so equally every Canadian should feel that the smaller subscriptions are wanted just as much in this great national effort, Iu fact the smaller subecriptione, in prggrr- tion to their number, more accuirely typify the Canadian national spirit and the whole-heartedneee of their effort to bring the war to 4 triumph- ant coneiueion, The Irish Question Again. It in very kind indeed nde d of Mr. Aequttb to suggest that the settlement of the Irish question be handed over to a Committee of Dominion' as well as Imperial steeteernen, and reeelutlorhe are being. passed in Canada calling up• on Sir Robert Borden to take a hand in it, We have a situation in Canada not. unlike that in Ireland, Perhaps Mr, Asquith would like to come over and settle it for ue while our Prime Minis- ter is attending to the Irieb question? Perhaps, however, it would be better for overseas statesmen to keep out of the Irish difficulty% When we t:auadiane can compose the differences between the French •'ti;od English sections of Canada we may be able to harmonize the north and south of Ire- land. But until we do that we should not aspire to the poeitlon of peace- maker for Ireland. • YAY.

The produce could easily be Bold and the money given for patriotic purposes, plot only;blo but it would be the #first step towards a cleaa•up campaign that would be contagious and citizens would readily assist in beautifying our town by cultivating borne gardens and thereby combat the high cost of living,- There are several aereo of land in the town of Wingham uncultivated, which if cultivated would supply many bushels of vegetables. The high eget of living Is no longer a matter which we can sit back in our chairs and jest about. It has gotten to a point now where it has become a terrifically eerioue problem. The price's now, ae every houeewife knows, are •exborbitant. Now let's get to. gather and combat the food shortage by producing on every available lot.

On New Year's some of these men who have intoxicants smuggled to them in Montreal reached Toronto iu a condition that made it very embar- rassing for relatives who met them there. While the Hospital Commission is very strict on this point it le next to impossible in the rush,to prevent these mistaken Mende from passing a bottle to the soldier. There is still great need for a cam- paign of education ae to the injurious effects of alcoholic drinks upon the human body. ' In a manifesto recent• ly issued by one hundred and flfty seven medical men and women of Birmingham and other Midland towns they say "Alcohol is not a real food." It impairs the moral sense, impedes intellectual processes and diminishes the quality and output of work. A writer one of the Boers themselves— says of the British -Boer war and the endurance of the Boer soldiers "Many had not even one warm cloak and yet we endured the fiery heat of the African day, and the following pierc- ing cold of the night without injury to health, We were often for months under no roof, and in no bed, but no "stomach warmer" was ever handed out." Sir Frederick Treves writing of the same war Bays:— "As a work producer alchohol is exceedingly extravagant, and, like all other extravagant measures lead to a phyaiclal bankruptcy, It is also curd ecus that troops cannot work or march on alcohol. I was as you know with the relief column that moved on Lady. . smith, and of course it was an esiceed- tugly trying time by reason of the hot weather. In that enormous column of YY 1NGUAi .ADVANCE. ;$0,000 the: ,drat who dropped out were not the tall inen or the short ruen, or the, little teen, or the big wen -.tbev were the driu. ers, and they dropped out ae if they had been labelled with a big letter on their backs," hIo matter how welt meaning the soldiers friend may be, it is a mistaken friendship that furnishes him with liquor. rT, li, Hazelwood, Methodist Dpt. of Social Service, Deep up the Food Supply and Help Make.

NATIONAL SERVICE Twelve thousand °Marlene who have seine knowledge of mechanics will receive during the coming weak from the Netiodrt1' Service Board,, Ottawa, a comprehensive booklet which tells them all about the latest addition to the Canadian forces, the Royal Flying Oorpe, The Information Is being eent to these men ae a result of their offer to do their share for national service, It was recently decided that Canada is. to have its own flying corps. Not only are the machines to be manufac- tured and built in thin country, but thoroughly experienced air officers and men have arrived from England for'the purpose of organizing the corps. In every squadron a considerable num- her of mechanics are required, and .the National Service organization was called upon with a view to obtaining the men required for this work. The records have been gone over to ascer. tain how many mechanics had filled out National Service cards. In the Province of Ontario cards, 12000 names were found of men whose different mechanical trades showed they would be suitable. Three thousand mechanics being all that is required, no other cards have as yet been sorted and it is expected that the full quantity should be easily -secured in Ontario alone, although of course men from other provinces are eligible, The Royal Flying Corps Ia ealled on the battle fronts the eyes of the army, It is considered the corps d'ellte of the service and in the British Isles there is a constant waiting list of those who have done their duty at the front and who have applied for transfer to the flying corps. Many Canadians who went overseas with other units have been transferred to its ranks, with the result that Canadian pilots and mech- anics have gained most enviable names for themselves and increased the high prestige of Canada as one of the strong arme of the Empire. For thio reason It was decided to have a Canadian corps, and not only have we the beat trainiug grounds, with wide areas to prastism on or over, but we have everything that goes into the building of an airship. Men who have great adaptability and initiative and mechanical skill arealso required_ and we Have the right type. This last is what is being celled' for ur,w, mechanics who will work a' the squadron headquarters and airdomes, keeping the machines in running order for the pilots, and whose work will be all on the ground, This, however, does not prevent those who engage in this service from joining the aerial branch afterwards if they eee fit and are qualified. Those mechanics who have been re- jected for overaeas service on account of the strictness of the medical exam- ination, and those whose ties at home have prevented them ;joining have now a wonderful opportunity.. The medical examination for the Royal Flying Corps is nothing like as strict, nor is it at all neceesary that it should be, as there are no heavy kits to carry or long marches to go on, in this ser- vice. Moreover, to men who desire a. permanent well -paying livelihood after the war, the mechanical end of the air seryice is the one to adopt, .as air transportation in• the future will go forward with leaps and bounds, The result will be that those who have a good knowledge of the work, which can be gained in the Royal Flying Corps, will command good salaries and continuous employment. History always repeats itself, espec• tally in the tneohanical trades; it will be the old story over again of the development of 'the harvester, the biegole. the electrical industry, and the( automobile;when even those who had only a fair but practical knowledge were in great demand and rose to big positions In the ulanagewents of 'such concerns. The Royal -Flying • Service is this century's mechanical achieve• went, and combining as it does, daring and ekill, it gives every one that has either of these qualifications, , one of the few openings in a lifetime, to se - ours the knowledge and practise that will enable hien to 'serve the Empire now and gain an experiene that Will be extremely Valuable in the future.
