WAR BURDEN IN CANADA
Military and Naval Activities of Can-
adians are not Confined to Eur-
opeen War Areas,
Ottawa, Oct 16th—Besides the mili-
tary organization she maintains over-
seas, Canada keeps up a considerable
estabB;llnient at home. Coast defences
have to be laked after at Halifax, Syd
hey, Quebec, St. John, aitd Esquimautt,
Again, Canada has the duty of guarding
at Biome interment camps, railway
bridges, etc., requiring a large number
of men, besides hospitals and camps.
In additive to this, there is in home
Waters the Canadian Nava] Service,
Which since war began has absorbed
5,300 Canadians as officers and men,

argue that Canada with great naval
bases on the Atlantic and the Pacific,
not to speak of enormous natural re-
sources, would have offered to temp-
tation to a warlike nation seeking
world -dominion as her natural right?
If one Could get this reasoner, and
others like him, under cross examina-
tion, he would probably admit that
after all Canada's position, in case of
a German victory, would not be so
secure as his fancy paints it. But he
would add; "The United States would
never have permitted Germany to oc-
cupy Canada." Granting the truth of
this conclusion, which shifts the bur-
den of defending us to our neighbors,
the slacker philosopher must realize

Sir Edward Kemp, Minister of Over-
seas Service in new Union Govern-
ment of Canada..
with its associated services all udder
direct Canadian control.
Although far removed from the cen-
tral seat of war, Canada is under the
necessity of keeping up a healthy mili-
tary organization at home because this
a world war and, in its many ramifi-
cations, may rise its horrid head from
any point of the compass. The first
guarantee of efficient activity at the
front is efficient organization and per-
r'ect order at home,
WHY THIS IS CANADA'S WAR.
(Toronto Saturday Night.)
A slacker, who is resolved to re-
main in that blissful condition, has
been writing to the daily newspapers
to proclaim his defiance of the War
Service Act• He demands an explana-
tion as to "what grounds of reason,
justice or common sense, free-born
Canadians should be forcibly reduced
to slavery, be transported to Europe
to die "like dumb, driven cattle.' to
fight and die in a world -war with the
origin of which neither they nor their
country have anything to do what-
ever?"
The writer seems quite convinced
that his citizenship as a free-born
Canadian carries with it no obliga-
tions of any kind. The soldiers who
have already gone to the front to fight
the. battles of liberty and civilization
are "slaves." "dumb, driven cattle."
He, who sits at home, is an im-
mensely superior being, to whom Jib-
ing, for he adds it as a special griev-
ance that conscripted Canadians "are
forced to light for nearly all other
countries in the world but their own."
What happens to other countries is
obviously no concern of his. He is
content with the older Chinese mode
of thought which catalogued other
peoples as "foreign devils" anyway.
The crux of this person's reasoning
is to be found in these sentences: "My
country was not, is not, and is not
likely to be attacked. Then, why in
reason and justice (these superior fel-
lows are fond of slinging phrases like
'reason' and 'justice') should I be sent
as a conscript slave to Europe to fight,
where, if it was attacked, i could not
defend it?"
This Is the stock argument of those
who hold that Canada has no business
taking part in this war anyway. They
fully subscribe to the emphatic de.
clarations of Count von Bernstorff and
Dr, bernberg on this very point. The
latter individuals said Canada ought to
have had sense enough to stay out,
but the implication of their remarks
was that Canada would be better off
as part of the German Empire. To
them, Canada's folly lay in deliberate-
ly attempting to cut herself off fron•
the blessings of German "kul'ur."
Our Communicative slacker, how-
ever, does not admit that he would
like to he a German subject, Ile. does
not want to be anything which would
involve sarcritice. He wants to sit as
one apart, and sing himself to sleep
with the refrain "My country is not in
danger." Of what conceivable use
are eyes, ears, faculties and educa-
tion to the man who still holds that
Canada was not, and is not, in danger
from a ruthless power, whose more
outspoken publicists proclaimed every-
where during the first year of the war
"Germany demands -a .•place in the
sun." And if they are still satisfied
that the .Pan-Germanists had no covet-
ous ideas so far its we are concerned,
do they believe that Canada could
have remained till now unscathed and
unaffected? bo they argue that Can-
ada would have been more Immune
than Argentina from the plots of the
that any War for the .expulsion of Ger-
1745115 from Canada would have been
fought on Canadian soil, lu sending
"'our hien to tight on the soil of Prance
we have been simply forestalling what
would have happened on the shores of
the 31, Lawrence had Oermaey been
victorious in this war, The saying
that Canada had "nothing to do with
thls war" is born of mere puppy -blind-
ness, lasts fallacious and stupid from
every point of view, The clear and
inevitable consequence of a German
victory furnish the "reason" and "just;
lice," not to mention the necessity of
our participation. It is quiteclear to
all who have grappled with tete probe,
ren, that German defeat can only be
effectively aecomplished by .conscrip-
tion in all the countries at war with
Germany. Canada is the last of them
to realize the truth, but at last those
elements among her population with
the courage to face the truth, have re-
solved that she shall not shirk the
aearifices that other lands have volun-
tarily imposed on themselves.
'LICENSE BOARD AFTER
MANUFACTURERS
The Ontario license Board has tak-
en the first step' toward launching the
ro
p r latsed'calnpaign against the manu-
facturers of Medicated ' wines that serve
as a substitute for the beverages bann-
ed by the Ontario Temperance Act,
Tire Board has instructed one of the
Provincial inspectors to secure samples
of the products of three of the princi-
pal manufacturers and will have thein
analyzed to determine the percentage
of alcohol and the amount of.medicate
ion. Where the analysis shows that
the medication is simply a cover for the
sale of a beverage prosecutions will be
instituted, Under the amendment in-
troduced at Ottawa during the past
sessions prosecution of manufacturers
can now be instituted under the Ontar-
io Temperance Act, which contains
penalties 10 to 20 times heavier than
those for infractions of the Proprietory
Medicines Act and shuts out the privi-
lege of appeal, . The new prosecute
10115 will be directed against "medic -
molt.
this" that have had some trade re-
putation, but, which since prohibition
went I1lto force, have been "pushed"
by manufacturers and druggists in a
way that has brought thele underthe
ban of the Board,
NEW REVOLVER MASSIVE
increases Number of Bullets. Fired by
Automatic—An English Invention,
An Englishman, Charles J. Cooke,
has invented "a new magazine ' attach-
ment for the eutonlatic revolver;
The attachment is simply .a holder
which enables a number of stored
magazines to be fed into the revolver
as fust as they •are needed. Such an
"automatic" as the Colt .45 is pushed
into the saddle on tete upper end of
the holder. When the eight 'shots
have been fired the usual, ejecting
spring is pressed, the empty maga-
zine drops from the gun down into
the slot to the holder,- and is rejected.
Instantly one of the full magazines
held in readiness in fhe bottom - of
the holder. is pushed up into place.
When this magazine is exhausted,
the two others can be fed into the
hollow end of the revolver.—Popular
Science Monthly.
Why Canada Needs
More Money
UP to date the war has cost Canada about $700,000,000.
Canada has spent in Canada over $400,000,000 on her own account.
Canada has spent in Canada on behalf of Great Britain over $300,000,000.
What Canada spends for Great Britain is really loaned to Great Britain
and will be repaid orcredited to Canada later on.
Great Britain needs so much ready
cash to finance her own expenditures 'at
home for herself and for our Allies that she
must buy on credit from Canada, and from
every other country where she can get
credit.
Of course Great Britain's credit is so
good that other countries, in order to get her
trade, are quite as willing to give her credit
as we are in Canada.
Canada wants to help Great Britain
not only because Canada wants Britain's
trade but because we are Canada and she is
Great Britain—both members of the same
great Empire, kin of our kin, our mother
land.
For- Canada it is both a filial and
patriotic duty to supply Great Britain's
war needs and remember, her needs are our
needs. Also it is in Canada's self --interest
to supply those needs and thus keep open
a market for our products. -
* *
Now, Britain needs our wheat, our
cheese, cattle, hogs, and many manufac-
tured articles.
Canada also needs many of these things
—between the two it amounts to more
than a million dollars a day in cash.
And the producers must be paid in
cash.
Neither Canada nor Great Britain
could go io a Canadian farmer and buy
his wheat or his cattle on credit.
The farmer and all other producers
might be ever so willing to give their
Country credit but they could not do it
because tm have to pay cash for wages,
for rent, materials, etc. They mustbe paid
in cash, or its equivalent.
So Canada says to Great. Britain:—"I
will lend you the money so that you can
pay cash to Canada's producers for what
you want.
' "I will borrow this money from our
own people just as you borrow money from
your people.
"I will also borrow from the people of
Canada money to pay cash= for all the pro-
ducts that Canada, as well as Great Britain,
needs in Canada."
That is Canada's practical, patriotic
part in helping to win the. war.
Without this credit the Canadian pro-
ducer could not sell to Great Britain, and.
without these Canadian products the war
would be prolonged.
So it is necessary for Canada to give
to Great Britain the credit in order–that
Canada's own producers, who need amarket,
will have one; and in' order. that Great
Britain which needs the products to win the
war, will get them, *
*
Now how does Canada get the money
by which both Canada. and Britain can p`ay
cash for Canada's products?
By borrowing it from the people of
Canada through the sale of Canada's
,Victory Bonds to be offered in November.
That is why Canada's Victory Bonds.
are offered to the people—, -to raise money
to help to finish the war.
"Canada must keep her shoulder to the
wheel even though it be a chariot -of fire,"
and the way for Canaria, to keep her
shoulder to the wheel. is by buying
Canada'sVitoryonc Bonds
