The Ger- Mar `e unable to capture their army, even of they do take some country. Should the winter overtake the Ger- mans as it did Napoleon (100 years ago the German advance may the a turneo into disaster. The Italian campaign against Austria is stili successful in a greater ,meas- ure thar before. Important places have fallen into their hands. In the Dardanelles the Allies Al..ttre making progress, but it is .slow. A though the chum is made that the Turk: food supply has been scut, off and if such proves correct the end may be near. a Oe . the western front the heavy artillery ifire of the Allies is thought tel precede an advance against the Germans. i Or the water the fight is quiet, but wider the water the German subs. are 'sell! getting an occasional ship. The important struggle just now is the diplomatic fight to line up the Bai.kar states against Germany, but the quarrels amongst themselves matte this a difficult matter. Should ts Balkans go in with the Allies short work will be mode of "Turkey', then supplies can be rushed to Rus- sia which will enable them for :Hake a stand against Germany.

Russia got back at the e Germans and captured 3,000 prisoners, 30 :an - non and 34 machine guns. The Teutons are preparing to open war on Roumania. It is claimed that the Sultan's army on Gallipoli is surrounded and Con - time. A German expert admits that •he submarine warfare is a failure, It is certainly to the credit of the bans: clerks of Canada that so many .of then. are with the Canadian troops It is said that no ,other trade er ;aro- fessiot• has sent as many ,of its mem- bers to help the Empire out. The privilege of the mails of Can- ade has been denied the People's Post a pro -German publication of Indian- apolis, and it is an ,indictable offense punishable by heavy fine or imprison mens for anyone to have the] publica- tion in his possession. I've licked a. dozen stamps for telegrams I've sent I've licked a d stuck one . the cheque with which ' qouch I pain the rent, I licked a stamp to paste upon a note which I renewed, and them I licked another one to make a mortgage good. I've licked these. stamps to show that I will do my best the Hun to check, and now I'd like to lick the ,man who jails to put one on his cheque, For those who object to, or dis- courage their sons from enlisting for the war, there is another consideration How is the roan who ,is fit and free, whc knows his country needs him going to maintain his self-respect if he dosen't enlist? How, after the war is over, and the victory won, are such young men going to square themselves with the world? It is not ur thenat- ure of things that they having shirked thin great duty, can be, •in' the years to come_ the men they . otherwise would be and should be. That is worse than the fate of those who=all an the field of battle, That there axe 8,000,000 able-bodied mer in the United States %who owe allegiance to European nations, MS disclosed recently in labor depart- ment statistics, These naturalize - dor bureau figures showed 14,000,000 foreige born persons in the country, who have not acquired citizenship. O that 8,000,000 able-bodied :vales most of them are said ;to have had military training, about 2,500',000 were given as Germans and Austrians. Oi' the remainder 5,500,000, records indicated that approximately 4,500,000 owe allegiance to the entente allies. Emphasizing their claim that these men would only need equipment to to constitute a formidable hostile. force an American soil without the necessity for invasion, preparedness advocates were said to be planning to make the mist of these figures in connection with their military ex- pansion program. Here is an idea that I've turned over it my head for some time. Wlty should ,not the mann who ,pays cash or its equivalent, receive Z per \cent. discount? Most of the wholesalers and jobbers give 2 per ceant, cash discount. The way things work out now the man who pays cash is pen- alized for the slow payer or dead beat. Some one must takke 'up ,the shortage—and its not hard to figure whc that some one is. It .would en- able the merchant to buy ito better advantage that's sure. Two per cent, cash discount would be better than coupons, and such things, for ,which the cash buyer pays. In many cases the man who gives .credit wast- es dollars on postage submitting ac- count: again and again only ,to have no attention paid to them pnless he places them in the court 'for coI- lection, The one trouble is that some imagine that the other fellow never needs any money. If he ,runs short he can go to the banks and bonrov° at 7 per cent. or • more, and become the other fellow's banker —and pay for the privilege.
