No one who stops for a moment to reflect cn the facts can fail to be struck by the utter failure of the German propaganda in the United States. This, it may be said in passing, is in strict accord with many other failures that have characterized the German program in the last six months. The Kaiser's vast and brutal enterprise would be better off to -day if these volunteer and conscripted workers had desisted before they began. For the human minds is so constituted that it does not relish a a constant fusilade of unwelcome and unfounded argument. The American public has made up its mind about the whole matter, and it refuses to be changed. Ail the King's horses and all the King's men cannot put Humpty- Dumpty Wiihelm together again—Provi- dence Journal. What is to be the future of the ter- ritories liberated from the Turk's maleficent sway? Above all, what of that land of sacred memories "over whose acres walked those blessed feet that for our advantage were nailed upon the bitter cross? It is one of the great ironies of history that the cradle of Christianity should for centuries have formed part of the dominion of a non- Christian people. When the Turk goes, who and what is to take his place? Is there any chance of the Zionist ideal materialising into actuality? At the present time the Jews form only a very small minority of the inhabitants. But if, with the sympathy and help of the great powers, a Jewish state were created, the new Palestine would doubt- less be a lodestar to Jews the world over and the ancient glories of Judea might be revived. Even were new Zion to become an accomplished fact and the Jews once more had a natural health and home, provision would still have to be made for the Christian guardianship of the Holy Sepulchre and other sacred places to which every year scores of thousands of Christians, chiefly from Russia, make a pilgrimage. —London Chronicle. Canadians as Foreign Buyers (Industrial Canada.) Canadians buy more goods outside their own country than the citizens of any other important nation in the world. Here is the average amount which each citizen of the following countries bought abroad in 1911, the latest year for which comparative sta- tistics are available: Canada $70.24 Great Britain 61.55 Argentine ...... , . 47.39 France 39.30 Germany . .. 3.5,17 United States .... 16.63 Austria ., 1.216. Russia 3.40 It seems incredible that every Cana- dian annually spends $70.24 for foreign goods while Russians only spend $3.40 each abroad. Canadians must Olt down their foreign purchases and buy more goods produced in their own country or face national bankruptcy.

S., says: "For five years I was a great sufferer from indigestion which wrecked me physical- ly. I suffered so much that for days at a time I could not attend my business I had smothering spells so bad at times that I was afraid to lie down. I doctor- ed and tried many medicines but with no benefit. I saw Dr. Williams' Pink Pills advertised to cure the trouble and decided to try them. I had not been taking them long before I found that I had at last hit upon the right medicine. ' The improvement in my health was con- stant, and after I had used ten or twelve boxes I could eat and digest all kinds of food, and I felt physically batter than I had done for years. I shall never cess: to praise Dr. William's Pink Pills for they proved a real bless- ing to me.” You can get these pills from any dealer in medicine or by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. at such di zt•�t'':n OCEAN TICKETS ` Via all steamship lines, out- ward or prepaid from the Old Country.

Un- employment, more food, financial string- ency and liquor legislation were among the topics referred to. There were no amendments or controversies in the speeches in reply to the address from the throne. In addition to the mover and seconder only N'r. Rowell and Mr. Hearst si.oke and both laid emphasis on the war. i The House adjourned on Wednesday after tributes of respect to the memory of the late Sir James Whitney had been paid by the new Prime Minister, the - loader of the opposition rind other mem- bers of the Ilouse• Mr. Rowell formerly made his offer to the Government to co-operate with them in closing all drinking places dur- ing the war and then to submit to a majority vote of the people the question of whether these drinking places are ever to be re -opened or not "No Prime Minister ever had a greater opportunity to render conspicuous public service, as lies before the Prime Minister of this provin;e to -day," said Mr. Rowell. The Government has as yet made no reply beyond promising some amend- ments to the Liquor License Act this Session. Hon. Mr. Lucas, the new kttorney General, introduced the Moratorium Bill. The action of this measure is con- fined to mortgages and agreements of sale on real estate anddoes not apply to commercial paper or personal debts. Only payments of principal can be de- ferred not of interest, and even with these principal payments each case must be referred independently to a judge who is given entire discretion to decide whether in his opinion the in- ability to pay can be attributed to the war disectly or indirectly. The Mora- torium is dated back to the beginning of the war. Mr. Evanturel is not recognized by the Liberal party in the House. This is shown by the fact that a caucus of the Liberal members has already been held and Mr. Evantural was not invited to be present.
