'Qonserviltlon Commission Urges Us - Ina of Every Acre, 2n connection with the European war And its effect on the food supply of the world, the following bulletin, is rated by the Commission of Conser- vation at Ottawa is of interest: "Many fanners, when urged to. try growing fall wheat, have excused themselves on the plea that it did not Pay; but it is likely that for the next year or two, there will be ready sale at good prices for every bushel of Wheat grown in Canada. Every fan Suer e should endeavor to increase o ie production of grain next year by put- ting into use every acre capable of 'Producing it. There are hundreds c,f Acres In Central and Eastern Caned: that would successfully grow fan Wheat. By preparing the land i1n ttlediately, a great number of far- iners could sow at least a few acro each. No risk is being taken in so doing, as the extra cultivation for the fall wheat would increase the yield of a spring sown crop in the even of the wheat being winter -killed. The land would need only to be disked cr cultivated to prepare it for spring grain. "The grain production can a'so be increased by ploughing up the old un- productive meadows at once and sow- ing to grain in the spring. They should be ploughed shallow NOW and be packed and disked and kept work- ed until autumn, when they should be. thoroughly ploughed again, ready to be worked early next spring. The importance of ploughing the land for next' spring's crop early this rammer, and keeping it worked dwell; the autumn cannot be too strongly ma phasized. Those who are now prac- tising a systematic rotation might profitably increase the grain crop area, next year, and to those who are fol- lowing the old meadow pian of farm- ing, a bettor opportunity was never offered to change to a systematic ro- tation by brealdng•up the old sod and putting in grain. It will pay to make age- of every acre possible in produc- ing grain, as it is sure to be needed." ADVERTISE IN THE ADVANCE 1T IIAS MR CIRCULATION ANTWERP'S HISTORY Fortified City Once Most Populous In Continental Europe Antwerp has always been regarded as Belgium's principal fortified strong- hold. Although sixty miles from the sea it is still one of the greatest sea- ports of Europe, because the broad and deep Scheldt river gives it an excellent outlet. Its population is al- most entirely Flemish. Under Em- peror Charles V. it is said to have been the most populous city of Con- tinental Europe, In the middle of the sixteenth cen- tury its population was 150,000. The great fairs held then attracted the great merchants of the world. Under the Spanish regime it declined and in '20 years fell to a population of 55,000. The treaty of Westphalia closed the Scheldt to seagoing vessels and it was not opened until the French did so in 1794. Napoleon undertook to revivify it, but it was surrendered to the English in 1814: Tt began to grow again but was almost ruined in the military operations of 1830 and thereafter. , Netherlands retained the right to levy navigation dues on the Scheldt, which laid a heavy hand on Antwerp until 1863, when the levy was com- muted by the payment of about $7,- 000,000. The fortifications were built to serve as the rallying ground for the Belgian army in case it was over- powered in the field by a superior force. • NAPOLEON'S MAXIMS The following '`aro somo of Na. poleon's maxims, taken from H. A. L. Fisher's "Napoleon." "Unity of command is a first neces- sity of war." "Love is the occupation of the idle man, the distraction of the warrior, the stumbling block of the sovereign," "The first quality of a commander- in-chief is a cool head." "He lies too much. One may very well lie'sometinies, but always is to* much.' "A great captain ought to say to himself several times a day: 'If the enemy appear onmy front, my right or nay left, what should. I do?' . If he finds himself embarrassed, he is ill posted." ' Following an Army The track of all army over any country is disgusting; the dirt of it is hopelessly foul. Even the odd places where a few tralns stop iu war time become unclean. When an army tranlpa it leaves a dirty mark far. each way cr_ the right and left of !t A German Admiral ADMIRAI. BARON VON SENDEN-, BI RRAU ¥io id 4h0 Kailien'd paval Ad juthtit4, A REAL FIGHTER IS EARL ROOER!S Mien the Kaiser Called Him th4 Greatest General of Hie Time i .. —Won the V.C. As all the world knows, Earl. Robert, colonel -in -chief of the Over- seas forces of the Empire, is an Irish- man, He was born in Cawnpore, the son of General Sir Abraham Roberts and Isabella, the daughter of Major l.lunbury, of the Sixty-second Foot, Ile was educated at Eton,and later on went to the military d school at Sand. horst. Afterwards he was Lazetted to the Bengal .Artillery as second lieutenant, As a mere stripling ue saw service throughout the Indian Mutiny, taking his part at the siege of Delhi and at the relief of both Lucknow and Cawnpor°, On one oc- casion he had a horse shot under him, an experience that was twice repeat- ed in later years, and on several oc- casions ho was mentioned in de- spatches. At the clog° of the war, though still a youngster, he was made a major, In the Abyssinian campaign, which closely followed, he won the rank of lieutenant -colonel, and In the Lushest Expedition he won his col. onelcy. In 1878 he was promoted to MVIajor-general. Before these honors came to him, however, Roberts, then a lieutenant, had received the greatest distinction r L . that can fall to a British soldier. While he was on his wedding tour he was commanded to attend the Queen at Balmoral Castle, and there was given the V.C. The exploit in which this coveted decoration was won oc- curred in the Indian Mutiny, in the course of a pursuit of a number of rebels, who faced suddenly round, and firing on their pursuers, stood at bay. in his book, "Forty -One Years in In- dia," Lord Roberts has given a mat- ter-of-fact acount of the deed. "I saw, Younghusband fall," the re- cords, "bt I could not go to his as- sistance as, at that moment, one of his sowers was in dire peril from a Sepoy, who was attacking him with his fixed bayonet, and had I not helped the fel- low and disposed of his opponent he must have been killed. An instant later I descried in the distance two Sepoys making off with a standard, which I determined must be recap- tured; so I rode after the rebels and overtook them, and while wrenching the staff out of the hands of one, whom I cut down, the other put his musket close to my body and fired. fortunately for me the piece missed fire. I carried off the standard." - His Famous March In 1879 Roberts made the march from Kabul to• Kandahar that will be forever associated with his name, not merely as a military feat, but because of the lasting peace with Afghanistan that has followed. In the course of the Afghan campaign Roberts was Mentioned in despatches not fewer than twenty-three times, an honor al- most without parallel in modern British military history. The Burma campaign and the South African War further served to add to his laurels. as a soldier. This "Iittle red-faced man," as Kipling calls him, has been publicly proclaimed by the Kaiser, himself no mean judge, as the "ablest! soldier of his time." . From William II.` he received the decoration of the Red Eagle, being the first non -German to' :be thus honored, and in explaining his action the Kaiser compared him .with the ablest military geniuses of the past, and declared him to be the 'greatest of to -day's generals." EARL ROBERTS Peace Advocate's Mistake • Political economists have lost much ammunition, many of their guns will ,have to be recast before again they can fire this charge, which is taken from a popular work of a British authority: "It is commerce which is rapidly rendering war obsolete, by strengthen- ing and multiplying interests andel are in natural opposition to it, And it may be said without exaggeration, that the great extent and rapid in- crease of international trade, in being the principal guarantee of the peace c,f the world, is the great permanent security for the uninterrupted pro- gress of the ideas, the institutions, and the character of the human race." —Monetary Times, Iron Wedding Rings It Is estimated that nearly half the Viennese aristocracy has given up the golden wedding ring. In exchange the person tanking the sacrifice se. curse alt ,iroir ring bearing the in, acription: "Gold I give for iron."

BRITAIN'S APPEAL' FOR MEN TO FIGHT Leaders of Political Parties Stimu- late Recruiting --German Methods Scathingly Denounced In the historic .Guildhall of London Premier Asquith on Friday started the crusade to stimulate enlistment un- der the British flag, which 11e intends to push throughout the country. He la calling upon every able-bodied Briton of military age to come to the help of Ws country in the hour of steed. The Nlavy, the Premier intimated, was already doing its part. It had sealed, up the fleet of Germany, he said, and was thirsty for a trial of strength in the open. "We rely upon the navy," The. said, "with the most absolute confidence to guard our shores against the possi- bility of invasion, and to seal up the gigantic battleships of the enemy in the inglorious seclusion of their own ports, whence . from time to time they furtively steal forth to sow the seas with murderous snares which are more full of menace to neutral ship- ping than to the British fleet, And while the `'3ritish navy does all this it is thirsty for a, trial of strength in a fair and open fight, which is so far prudently denied it." The Premier opened his, address with the heartening announcement. that between 250,000 and 300,000 re- cruits had responded to the call of Lord Kitchener, the Secretary for War. "We now find ourselves involved with the whole strength of this Em- pire in a bloody arbitrament of might versus right," the Premier declared. He mentioned the siege of Liege, and enumerated countless outrages on the the part of what he termed "bun., caneering adventurers," He declared that the greatest crime against cinl- ization was the sacking of Louvain. "This shameless holocaust," the Pre- mier continued, "was performed by blind barbaric vengeance. Sooner than stand aside we would see this country of ours blotted out from the 'pages of history." Referring to the Indian troops., Pre- mier Asquith said that two divisions of that magnificent army were al- ready on their way. Their association with the home and the Dominion troops, he declared, would maintain the flag which symbolizes unity, and which no arms could dissever or dis- honor. Mr. Bonar Law, leader of the Unionist party in the House of Com- mons, declared that the key to peace or war had been in Berlin for nearly a generation. The head of the Ger- man Government had merely to whis- per the word "peace" and there would have been no war. "He did not speak that word," Mr. Law continued, "but drew the sword, and may the ac- cursed system for which he stood perish by it." Winston Spencer Churchill, First Lord of the Admiralty, spoke briefly: "You may rely with good confidence upon the strength and efficiency of our naval forces," he said. "Sure I am of this: that you have only to endure to conquer. You have only to persevere to save yourselves and to save all those who rely on you. You have only to go right on, and at the end of the road, be it short or long, victory and honor will be found." AWFUL GERMAN LOSSES Half of Berlin In Mourning For Dead Soldiers German casualty lists which have reached The Hague' are appalling in their extent. Published under the authority of the German General Staff, they occupy nearly r'-: full pages of the official Reischzanger. No attempt is made to gloss over the terrible extent of the disasters which have befallen the German arms, nor is any comment made on the fact that men reported killed or miss- ing outnumber enormously those list- ed as wounded. Travellers who • have just reached The Hague from Berlin state that half the city is already draped in black. RUSSIANS IN FRANCE Strong Force Said to Have Been Taken Via Scotland and England A Russian army of 72,000 men„ transported from Archangel, Russia, was landed at Aberdeen, on the east coast of Scotland, on August 27 and was conveyed on special trains to Harwich, Grimsby and Dover, where transports were waiting to take them to Ostend, in Belgium, according to officers of the Cunard Liner Maure- tania, which reached New York Thursday night from Liverpool. German Destroyers Damaged A statement issued Friday by the British War Office and Admiralty said: "According to information de- rived from a trustworthy source, seven German destroyers and tor- pedo boats have arrived at Kiel in a damaged condition, and it is under- stood that others have been suck in the Vicinity of the Kiel Canal." It is not clear whether the destroy- ers referred to are some of those Which received damage in the recent naval battle off Heligoland, er whether they were damaged in a enbsequent affair, • French Capital Moved The French government depart. Merits have been transferred temper drily from Paris to Bordeaux. The proclamation was issued by the Minister of the Interior, Who said the decision had been taken solely Upon the demand of the military authorities, because the fortified llaces of Paris, while hot necessarily ikely to be attacked, would become the pivot of the field operations of the ;We armies. et.

Local Option In Owen Sound. To The Editor :— An article having appeared in Toron- to Saturday Night belittling local option in Owen Sound and saying that the result abominable, the Owen Sound Sun repleir in the following vigorous fashion, to the average citizens of Owen Sound, who bas the slightest know- ledge of local conditions, the noneens- ical rent which appeared on the front page of the last issue of Saturday Night regarding local option in Owen Sound is, to say the least, ridiculous. The repetition, by Saurday Night, of the old falsity about more liquor being sold in Owen Sound under local option is not surprising when it is con- sidered that. the wine and spirit Journal is published under the same management as Saturday Night. Any one who now repeats the old worn out tale about more drinking and poor hotel accommodation is simplylaughed at, in Owen Sound, whatever credence he may reoieve in other places that are not in touch with the conditions here. It is quite evident that either the earlier of the article in Saturday Night has not been in Owen Sound re cently and is simply letting his imagi nation run riot or else he is an accom- plished Infamous liar. Rotel accommodation in Owen Round is better than ever it was in the history of the town. Local Option le enforced in Owen Sound and the result is a clean law-abiding town. The barroom has no place in a civilized community and it is doomed, despit the week.kneed arguments and libell- ous statements of Saturday Night. This, regarding the result of Local Option in Owen Sound agrees with the reports of Commercial Travellers that Hotel accommodation has improved tnore'In local option districts than in places under licence, Where people have had a trial of local option they have rarely ever been willing tet w ..,. to licence. l3.

Every farmer should endeavour to increase his production of grain next year by putting into use every acre capable of producing it. There are hundreds of acres in Central and Eastern Canada that would successfully grow fall - wheat. By preparinfi the land imm- ediately, a great number of farmers could sow at least a few acres each this fallNo r't l k iscin taken in so b g doing, as the extra cultivation for the fall wheat would icrease the yeald of a spring sown crop in the event of the wheat being winter -killed. The land would need only to be disked or cult- ivated to prepare it for - spring grain The grain production can also be in- creased'by ploughing up the old 'un- productive meadows at once and sowing to grain in the spring. They should be ploughed shallow NOW and packed and disked • and kept worked until autumn, when they Should be thoroughly ploughed again, ready to be worked early next spring. The importance of ploughing the land for next epring'e crop early this summer, and keeping it worked during the autumn cannot be too strongly emphasized. Those who are now practising a systematic rotation might profitable increase the grain crop area next year, and to those who are fol- lowing the old meadow plan farming, a better opportunity was never offered and putting iu grain. It will pay to make use of every acre possible in producing grain, as it is sure to be needed. F. C. N. gr -•. , FALL FAIRS.
