The •New York Times reviews the first two years cif the war in a strik- ing article, which is here given in libbreviated form: The Empire of Efficiency began the War of Frightfulness on August 1, 1914. On August 1, 1915, the outlook for liberty and democracy was at its darkest. The first year ended with the Supermen everywhere in the as- cendant; the Second year elide with the common men and the little people coining toward their own. On the eve of August 1, 1916, what had been the general ral faith on the eve of Aug.. 1, 1914, what had seemed a broken citcrel on August 1, 1915. is coming out plain again from the murk — that arrogance, egotism, cruelty, and tyranny cannot conquer the world. A year ago Efficiency was• driving the Russians pell-mell before it,. held the western allies helpless, was about tt, begin the deetruction of Serbia and the working of Britir,h disaster in the Ottoman Empire. Only at sea and in Africa were the allies dominant. To- day Effie'ieney and Frigirifulners are surrounded and beleaguered; they have no longer any chance of r•e. um- ing their offensive, and their only :rnpe now is to res=ist so stubbornly :hat the rt,u1t will be a draw -a Feaee of txhau =titan, a time of re- curerati 'e, and the whole thing to be fought out again when the wounds are healed.. This two -headed Goa of Efficiency and Frightfulness is not, after all, superhuman,. invulnerable, invincible, or --.what is more to the point---infal- lil;le. Efficiency blunders, Frightful - nese flees. On paper, in advance, Ef- fieie,icy was all -wise, Frightfulness ghtfulne'ss irresistible, Etficieney launched the war of the Superman against the common man at the perfect moment, seen unerringly. Its infallible secret service reported to- it that England would not enter the war, for fear of an Irish revolution and an industrial revolt; that Russia could not lumber up upon her ponderous feet before Paris was in Efficiency's hands; that France was populated by nerveless deeadents—here is where Efficiency's scientists gave their omniscient evi- dence—and had no more resisting power than Paraguay; that Belgium would not resist the entrance of Ef- ficieney's armies; that Italy would fight for Efficiency, and that the sympathy and moral support of the United States were certain. It was the divinely right moment. Effi- ciency's methods were as certain as arithmetic. Efficiency's Blunders. BuS the moment Belgium's soil was touched Britain declared war, and the sea was closed to Efficiency. Ef- ficiency must feed herself unaided. Somehow, Efficiency had blundered; her diplomats and spies had misin- formed her, their salaries and ex- pense accounts had been wasted in a manner that smelled, somehow, of Inefficiency;. for what they had re- ported to her was what any mere Inefficient, with eyes in his head, who had spent a. month in England, could have told her -was 'not true.

Boyd & some, 27 Notre kande Siallest,Biontreal ter; the conquest of France was easy, Russia could not fully mobilize be- fore she would be grappled with, and Britain, with her "contemptible little $5 army," could be forced to a favorable peace. Belgium unexpectedly resisted, and was slaughtered; and the sympathy and moral support, not only of the United States, but of nearly every other country, were sundered from, Efficiency by that act. Inefficiency could have clone no worse. The old- fashioned, hit-and-miss, go -as -you - please mental processes which were to be superseded by infallibility nev- er stumbled into such a binnder as this. Efficiency carried her armies almost to Paris, and then Decadence arre;'ted her descending arm at the Marne. That .blow has never fallen to this day, and the whole infallible plan was split and shattered by the ordinary human mind of a French general who did not believe in Effi- ciency, in Frightfulness, or in the di- vine right of one nation to rule others. The system of Frightfulness is not ,:lone a system of atrocities; it is not limited to the slaughter of women and children by Zeppelins, submar- ines, and individual enterprise. It is the 'ystem of warf"ar•e by which you continually appall your opponent; it destroys his nerve by its unexpected- necs and its violence. M C ASTER What Did. Frig htfulne's, like Effieieney, is in.. ° fallible. All you have to do is to ;keep it up, and the inferior race is sure to get into a panic. It was part of the war of Frightfulness, therefore to launch Ireland at England's back, to attack the Suez Canal, to set India and Egypt afire at a moment when England was expecting nothing but :s'i attempt to attack Paris again.

LIKED. Fifty-five Years of Age, and Famous For His Energy and Youth- ful Appearance. Lord Euelcmaster, the Lord Chan- cellor, who has been urging every- body to economize and save all they can in war time, is., one of the most important leen in the Cabinet, for it is through him that King George sig- nifies his consent to anything signed in his name. The Lord Chancellor is technically "the Beeper of the King's Con- science," advising his Majesty in re- gard to signing all State documents. Furthermore, the Lord Chancellor is the custodian of the Great Seal which figures on these documents. The Seal is kept in an elaborate purse made of the finest purple velvet, heavily em- broidered in colored silks with the Arras of England—the lion and the unicorn, surmounted by the Imperial crown, Below is worked in silk a motto in Latin meaning "For God and ;Sly Country." A "Queenly" Chancellor It is an interesting fact that the Lord Chancellor takes precedence of every temporal Lord and anyone who is not a member of the Royal family, and of all Bishops except the Arch- bishop of Canterbury. An interesting confession was made by Lord Buekmaster on one occasion l':nl;'lantl'e nerves by bursting into to Mrs. Alex Tweedie, who relates estimated at 76,792,000 acres, slightly Serbia when such an attack was least the incident in her recently -published ; in excess of the aereago of the year expected.

SAYE THE WESTERN CROP. No Lack of Men to Gather in Can- REPAIRS an- ada's Greatest Asset. Statistics from the Government authorities show that the wheat crop this year promises to he greater than ever but the problem that is troub- ling the minds of the farmers in Western Canada is how can the crop be harvested? That is the predom- inent problem of to -day in Canada apart from recruiting for overseas. The railways are providing special excursions to carry the men to their l destinations but the effort will almost; be fruitless if the labor does not! come forward for the work in view. There is no disguising'the serious -1 ness of the situation this year so I ninny men havi ig gone to the front: or are on their way. Despite this fact, however, there should be no lack of men to gather in Canada's greatest asset if the country is to still continue the good work of the past two years in helping the Mother Country in the greatest war the world has ever known. While Canada has sent some hundred thousand men to the war there are still hundreds of thousands more left who have not en - Hided and who are not assisting in the making of munitions. These have now an excellent opportunity of do- ing a little bit at home to help the war abroad. Canada's crop is of vital necessity to Great Brittzin and her Al.. ..lair.., '^•!
