EDITORIAL NOTES
The German people must demand to
know. sooner or later, whether their
armies are in south winning this war,
If they are winning it they must demand
that aa their smallest reward there shall
be given to them bread and meat to
sustain them in their labors to keep an
invincible army afield achieving such
glorious victories. If they are not winn-
ing it they must demand that the mili-
tary dictatorship abandon a struggle
which if it was bootless with sample
supplies of men and of food and of
treasure, must be hopeless with the
whole nation worn down to bare bone,
For nearly two years the German people
have been deceived by their military
autocrats as to what they were gaining.
They cannot be deceived forever, They
cannot be deceived many months
longer. Want and starvation will tell
them the truth. Then the militarists
who, recklessly and wantonly setting
out to wreck Europe, have ruined their
own country, must answer to the Ger-
man people. That will be the beginning
of the end. New York Press.
IF
[The New York Outlook!
If the great heroes of the past bad all
been pacifists:
There would have been no William of
Orange to resist the Duke of Alva, and
the Spanish Inquisition would have been
established in full power throughout all
Western Europe from the Mediterranean
to the Baltic.
There would have been no Oliver
Cromwell to resist the despotic . rule of
the Stuarts, and England would have
become a second Spain.
There would have been no French
Revolution, and the France of the
Bourbons as Young described it in his
travels and as Dickens portrayed it in
"The Tale of Two Cities" would be in
all essentials the France of to -day.
There would have been no George
Washington. no American Revolution,
no Declaration of Independence, and on
this western continent no republic "con-
ceived in liberty and dedicated to the
proposition that all men are created
equal."
Happily for the human race, the
spirit which seems to animate a portion
of our present Congress did not animate
their Dutch, English. French and
American ancestors.

Pte. Rev. J. K. Fairfull becomes
moderator of the Baptist churches of

ed the annual session in Clinton on

representation from the sixteen churches

They, together with the mission bands,
raised for mission $478, an increase of
$80 over the previous year. The 870
members of the churches have raised
through the various organizations far
all purposes about $1,800, this being for
missionary work.
Pte, Rev. J, K, Fairfull, of the 161st
Battalion, the pastor of the entertaining
church, was heartily and unanimously
cheered as moderator for the coming
year, as a mark of the appreciation of
his brethren for the step he has taken
in enlisting in the King's army.
Rev. A. A, McLeod, a returned mis-
sionary from India, spoke interestingly
on missions. Other speakers were Rev.

Hespeler, and Rev. J. L. Sloat, of

THE WINGHAM TIMES
NOW AND THEN
When I was young I had to go and.
till the cornfield with a hoe. Ah, it
was weary work, indeed; I paralyzed
the noxious weeds and scraped the dirt
around the corn, and yearned to hear
the dinner born. I'd,toil all day to beat
the band, till blisters came on hoof and
hand, and the the husbandman would
say, as be dug up my meager pay, `was
this the hest that you could do? You
must have loafed the whale day through?
And now I see the farmers ride on
cultivators, tall and wide, that hill the
corn and slay the weeds, as they are
drawn by prancing steeds, A hundred
freckled lads with hoes might work all
day along rows and not achieve as much
I ween, as would one red and green
machine. The farmers of these modern
days know naught of old time toilsome
ways; they do their labors sitting down,
and ride in choo-choo cars to town;
they find the boodles growing rank, and
have to stack it in the tank.
-Walt Mason
THE DEVIL OUTCLASSED
The devil sat by the Lake of Fire on a
pile of sulphur kegs,
His head was bowed upon his breast,
his tail between bis legs.
A look of shame was on his face, the
sparks dripped from his eyes,
Ile had sent his resignation to the
throne up in the skies,
"I'm down and out" the devil said --be
said it with a sob -
"There are others that outclass me and
I want to give up my job.
Bell isn't in it with the land that lies
along the Rhine,
I'm old and out of date, and therefore
I resign.
One Krupp munition with his bloody
shot and shell
Knows more about damnation than ail
the imps of hell.
Give my job to Kaiser Bill, or to Fer-
dinand, the Czar
Or to Sultan Abdul Hamid, or some
such man of war.
I bate to leave the old home, the spot
I love so well,
But I feel that I'm not up to date in
the art of running hell,"
And the devil spat a squirt of steam
at a brimstone bumblebee,
And muttered "I'm outclassed by
Hohenzollern deviltry."

WILL ADMINISTER TEMPERANCE
ACT
Prohibition has come into force in
Manitoba, and Rev, J. N. MacLean,
the former pastor of the Baptist Church
of this place, was sworn in on Thursday,
,rnne 1st, as Administrator for the Act.
The Winnipeg Free Press in speaking
of the appointment has this to say:
Rev. J. N, MacLean has resigned
from the secretaryship of the Sccial
Service Council of Manitoba to take
over the duties ' of 'prohibition com-
missioner for the province. His new
duties, which begin on -June 1st, will be
to see to the adreinistrl$tion of the new.
Temperance Act, and in connection
with the appointment ,he will. proceed
almost immediately to Grand Forks,
North Dakota, to note the operation of
the Prohibition Act there.
Mr. MacLean is pecgliarly fitted for
this very important post. No man is
more intimate. with the provisions of
the act, which he has espoused from
the public platform many times during
the past few months, and his tact and
urbanity are factors which will go a
long way to the enforcement of the
new law in a satisfactory manner, He
will be supported by a staff of inspectors
who will assist in the administration of
the act, and•this new department will
take the place of the present license
department, the latter•ceasing to exist
automatically by the introduction of
the Temperance Act. Several members
of the provincial police force, as well as
the inspectors, will be detailed to the
new work.
Hearty congratulations were extended
Mr. MacLean at a meeting of the
executive Social Service council yester-
day, when the secretary asked to be
relieved of his present duties. The
honor conferred upon Mr. MacLean was
taken as an evidence of the good faith
on the part of the govCrnment to see
to the proper enforcement of • the act.
Mr. MacLean will hold his position with
the council until the annual meeting on
June 6, When his successor will be
appointed.
For a period of nine Months only has
Mr, MacLean been privileged to hold
the office of secretary to the Social
ervice council, but during that short
me he has put the organization on a
ound footing, financially and other-
ise. When he assumed the office the

about $1,000 to their credit, Mr, Mac',
Lean gives credit for this splendid
showing to the endeavors of Rev. T. R,
McNair, financial secretary.
It will ever be a matter of pride
and satisfaction for Mr. MacLean to
reflect that during his association
with the Social Service council he
engineered the campaign for prohibi-
tion, which resulted in such a mag.
nificent victory on March 13. Mr.
MacLean, in " his capacity as secre-
tary, held the reigns of the whole
campaign, and was responsible for
the splendid organization of the
province, which was such a telling
factor in the referendum,
