TILE W1.,N•G1E t ,A.DVAO E FOREIGN FOODS SCARCE Canadians Must be Satisfied With Home Grown Delicacies For a Time The war will cut off tite supply of Many European delicacies and Can- ada's foreign residents in particular will probably pine in vain for their favorite national dishes. Also the hotels and many average citizens are likely soon to mise a variety of gas- tronomic delights. Austrians must forego Westphalian ham, German cheese, wines, and beers will greatly be missed if the war is long, The biggest asparagus, the Stang- enspargel, comes from Germany in jars and tins. The fine flavored beans especially adapted for salad, red, sauerkraut, canoed celery roots, young garden peas, sweet pickled prunes, and the esteemed Dill pickles are grown in German soil. I There is in Alsace the great city of 1 Strassbourg, famed for its clock, its leather manufactories, its cigars and. its enlarged and estimable goose livers. Here is the home of the de- lectable Strassbourg pie—Pate de foie Gras, And now for France, land off vin- f tages and viands. How shall thewine atents live, if there is to be no more champagne? There are many other wines which will be missed from the tables of the epicures, such as those of Burgundy and the lighter vintages which come from the banks of the Rhone. Tho supply of cordials of all kinds is like- ly to fall off. There will be little French vermouth to be had for coclf- tails. Who would do without the small green peas, which are green in all kinds of weather; the flageolets, the haricots, and all their congeners? The French mushroom supply PP Y has for ages kept the world content. The sardine from the northern coast of France is an article of commerce .which finds its way into all parts of the world. And sardines suggest olive oil, which is failing' lower and lower In :supply, Austria-Hungary sends out huge, quantities of paprika, a mild and red- dish pepper, the true Szegedi, made of mysterious ingredients, some to bite and some to soothe. It is a condi- melt which flourishes :with veal cut- lets and on baked potatoes. It im- parts zest to sauce. As far as the Austrians and the Hungarians are concerned all calves might be born in vain if the cutlets were not served with paprika. Casks of a very thick, sweet honey are brought to Canada for the use of the Austrian and Hungarian resi- dents. The principal contribution of Servia to the bill of fare consists of prunes, and this fruit as grown and packed there is of exceptionally fine quality. The prize contribution of Russia to the luxurious living of Canada is caviare which is too expensive in the piping times of peace to be greatly missed in war time. ea. . Effect of the War j The war has temporarily closed to the Uitd Sttits reat European g markets. Great Britain buys annually Play a Man's Part The British Empire is at war and Canada is at tear. What of it? There are only two things for a man to do —go to war or stay at home. 'Either way he may serve a useful and even noble purpose. It is the man who remains at home who must provide the munitions of war and who must keep the country on an even keel. This cannot be done by emulating the rabbit. God gave man superior in- telligence; it is his duty to use it. You cannot blame the rabbit for be- ing 'timid, but ;the human rabbit has only himself to blame. Be a man, don't be a rabbit.—Vancouver Satur- day Sunset. Germany's War Cheat Germany has an imperial war chest in which is 'hoarded $60,000,000. This is in addition to the special war funds voted since the beginning of the war. The gold is kept in the Julius tower in the citadel of Spandau, the town being entirely surrounded by . water. ,About 18 months ago the tower con- tallied only $30,000,000, which sum was 'reserved from the indemnity paid by France after the war of 1870. This total war fund was doubled in the short space of a year ami a lealf— another indication of the coutctnplated raid upon civilization. Stars Forecast Kaiser's Downfall Did the stars which twinkled on San, 7, 1869, when Emperor \Valliant was been, fortell his downfall? In a horoscope published throe years ago, drawn by Lamter, famous astrologer, his downfall was pre - dieted for this year. A conjunction of Saturn and Mars in Taurus fur- Iniehed the basis of the astral fore- cast. 'more than a billion dollars' worth of 'goods from us. The German debt for site purchases in America each year 'is between $300,000,000 and $400,000,- 000. The purchases of France aro, $150,000,000. Austria-Hungary $25,000,-1 000 and Russia $40,000,000 or $50,000,-1 000. Tho United States buys from 1 none of these countries so much as it sells and its purchases from Great Britain and Germany are not more than one-half so valuable as its 'sales Chicago Herald. A Deadly Shower In two seconds any target up to a range of over six -thousand yards can be sprayed with 4,284 bullets from a single brigade of Royal Horse Ar- tillery. There are six guns in a bat- tery and three batteries in a brigade. Only a :cw months ago, in an ar- tillery practice camp, a single thir- teen -pounder located and completely destroyed amoving cavalry target at a range of over two miles, "Stronte Men" go to War One result of the war was seen in the extraordinary dearth of foreign music hall artists in England. They were recalled to the colors of their respective countries. The German artists affected were mainly equili- brists, hand -balancers and strong men. On ono circuit no less than twenty turns were "called off" owing to ar- tists being recalled. Shortage of Bullets A ieadille, London lead merch' nt says war cannot last Tong because the world's supply of lead is in- sufficient 'o maintain the supply of bullets. 11 each man in the field fired only 100 rounds it would exhaust 'lite Present stock of lead. SERViA'S MAD -CAP Irresponsible Prince May Have Been Responsible For War is Prince George, eldest son of King Peter of Servia, responsible for the European embroglio? Some people say he is; at any rate he has earned the title of the "worst boy in Europe.” Murder, pillage, profligacy, drunken- ness, and the instigation of the mur- der of Archduke Francis Ferdinand are some of the crimes and misdeeds that are charged against King Peter's eldest son. A distinguished French officer was brought to Belgrade to take charge of his education. Prince George broke two of his tutor's ribs the first day he rode with him, and when he fenced With him the officer was seriously in- jured, He was less apt in the school room, There the prince tore up his books. cursed his tutor and broke away from lessons to :neet ono or another of his charmers. For this conduct the king in person welted him unmercifully with a rawhide 'whip. This effected no lasting improvement, and the un- happy Major Levasseur was forced to ,resign. A few months ago he was turned 'out of a music hall of Belgrade for tt,hrowing champagne bottles at the :leader of the orchestra and climbing ,.pver the footlights to make love to ;Mae. Beyla. i One of his charmers in higher so- ciety was the wife of an army officer. It is believed that he secretly cora :tracted a false marriage with the daughter of a general. Several years ago King Peter de• posed his lawless son as crown prince rand proclaimed his brother Alexander heir; to the throne. The prince is not a respecter of crowns and he frequently takes occa- sion to give out newspaper interviews abusing or ridiculing the rulers of Europe. The Czar of Russia, whom he visited, he described as an im becile, a stuffed doll, a man without a sine idea in hie .head. Ho said the German Emperor had plenty of 'energy, but no sense. The advisability of confining the prince in a sanitarium was discussed lby the prime minister and King Peter, 0i the prime minister received a horsewhipping from the irate prince ;when he heard of the .conference i His lawless life has been the scan- dal of Europe, but even is worst ',enemies never believed the carnival of crime would be brought to a climax ;with so shocking a catastrophy as the assassination of Archduke Francis d?'erdinand. It is charged that Prince (George was an accomplice in this plot `oi assassination that brought Sery:a Iii and Austria, and finally nearly all of urope to war. t0'. .

One of the latter consists of our enormous lire waste. In the year 1913, Canada suff- ered a financial lobsof approximately twenty.six million dollars by fire, and thisiamount represents only the loss by destruction of buildings. To this should be added the actual money loss caused by interference with the con.. tinuity of business, the looses to public utility companies, in wires, meters, telephones, etc„ and also that of the municipal corporation in requiting the use of expensive fire fighting equip- ment, How long shall we allow this dis- grace to continue? When a forest fire consumes a large tract of our best merchantable timber we sit back and expect nature to replace the loss, When we, through utter carleseness, burn up that which the energy of man has produced, we simply ask the ques- tion; "Woe it insured?" We forget that we are, indirectly. paying the insur- ance. The company which has carried the policy occupies the position of the middleman, collects the premiums and pays the losses, collecting in addition whatever'amount is required to cover the expenses of conducting the busi- ness and paying dividends. The man who through carelessness takes the life of another is guilty of manslaughter. The man who throng carelessness destroys by fire either his own property or that of another is qually guilty of incendiarism, if not in the eyes of the law as at present construed, at least in the opinion of his fellowmen. When governments:can be induced to appoint fire marshals, with power after investigation, to place the re- sponsibility where it properly belongs, and when punishment is meted out ac- cordingly, then may we look for an improvement in our conditions, Our conditions: Our fire losses for the past three years have been as follows; Deaths Fire due to Losses • fires 1911. . . . $21,459.575 317 1912. . . . 22, 900, 712 203 1913. .. • 20,346,018 220 With anincrease of approximately three and a hgif million dollars in fire losses in 1913 over 1912, what may we expect in the 1914?

But by the great affirming of the lands we have knit as one; 13y the love, by the passionate loysl love, of each separate freeborn eon, Canada cries "We are coming!' and Australasia "We come"!
