HIS CONGRA'TULATIONS
A despatch from Ottawa says: His
Majesty the King has" cabled to the
Govt nor-Uoncral of Canada hie
congratulations • upon the 'success of
The Victory Loan. Itis Majesty's mos-
eage is as follows: "I have heard of
the magnifieent success of the Vic-
tory Loan with the grcateai satisfac.
time and pride. Please convoy to the
Government arid people of Canada my
sincerest congratulations upon se
"splendid n demonstration of the me-
'turity of financial strength to which
lire Dominion kris attained."
P'
To Commemorate the Liberation
of City,by Canadian Troops.
A • dospatch from the' Canadian
Corps says:-Berfozo leaving Ilona,
which the Canadians- captured just
before the armistice was signed,
Sir Arthur Currie, the Commander
of the Canadian Corps, was present-
ed by the city with a Medal in gold,
specially struckin his 'horror and in,
scribe&as a souvenir of the libera-
tion of the 'city by the Canadian
Corps. Replicas- will be distributed
among the troops who participated.
Men of the First Canadian Division
were given a great reception upon
their entry into the city of. Nivelles
on their tr_erch to Germany. Leisure
has been granted the men for visite
,to Waterloo andathe historic battle=
fields in the neighborhood, and a con-
siderable contingent of Canadian of-
ficers attended the official entry of
the King and Queen of the Belgians
into Brussels.
The published plan for the de-
mobilization of the Canadian 'army
have not been received with en-
thusiasm, as the men hoped and be-
Iieved that they evould have an op-
portunity -of returning to their +bases
as members of the fighting units
with which They have so long been
associated.

BLOCKADE WILL
BE MAINTAINED
No Relaxation Until Definite
Peace LS,.tatified.
A despatch from Londpn says: The
Times says the absurd story, which
the Germans are reported to have
spread semi-offi,.ially that the Entente
probably' will roneider the" abolition
of the blockade is absolutely unfound-
ed. The allies have not the slightest
intention, the Times continues; of
throwing aside their chief weapon for
insuring the signature of a just peace
and the performance -of its conditions,
particularly in the present chaotic
state of Germany.
Atter quoting eJidences.in an: en-
deavor to refute Dr. Self's declaration
that Germany' is starving, the news-
papar says' that German statements
on this subject require careful exam-
ination. When the truth has Iibert
ascertained, the allies and the United
States will allow the Germans from
time to time during the peace nego-
tiations such food sueplies that hum-
anity dictates, but the blockade must
remain in force until a definite peace
has been ratified. Thereafter it may
be kept in abeyance as the chosen
instrument of the league of nations
for .enforcing its decisions.
CANADA'S FINE RECORD
Her Notable Contribution in Man and
Supplies to Freedom's Caine.
Cairada has made a notable contri-
bution of munitions to the tear, says
the Providence. Journal. Sixty mil-
lion Canadian shells helped to defeat
the Gertnan armies; the value of the
material already supplied is -$1,000,-
000,000, and an additional lot worth
9200,000,000 is ready for shipment
overseas, Five hunched thousand
tons of new shipping, tem -thirds of
steel, also have been provided, and
within a .year 2,600 airplanes have
been built, the present rate of pro-
duction being three hundred and fifty
a month. This is a fine shelving for
a people whose efforts had been chiefly
concentrated upon agriculture.
13u1 Canada has sent men as well
as war supplies. On the casualty
list eleven days before the capture of
Mons, on the last rnoreieg of bb's-
tilities, were 211,858 names, and of
these men 31,877 were killed in as
tion and 16,457 died of wounds and
disease. The figures demonstrate the
incorrectness of the Germen assump-
t10 that '
n to the avant oflVaY I' 1
,1 -
land's overseas dotuini,ns, if not open 1
ly hostile at heart, would do nothing
to help tate mother country. But the
C/auadfans itad no delusions as to the
meaning of Germany's declaration of
'war. They understood from the
start that the menace was world-wide,
and there norm was any quostielr eel
to their loyalty to the `arise of frire- i

ISER IS.,
STILL A MENACE
Has Many Adherents fit Ger-
many and Generals Are De-
voted to His Cause.
A despatch from London says: "It
would be:a'great mistake to suppose
the Kaiser is done with; he has many
adherents in Germany who aro quite
resolved, not to take the recent defeat
lying down," is the opinion given the
Daily Mail's correspondent at The
Hague by a Dutch citizen, who spent
the whole period of the revolution in
Bremerhaven, and noiv has returned
to BolIalid. •
The returned Dutchman eutimates
the ..proportion of loyalists to revo-
lutionists as one to two, and he says
a large number of soldiers are what
might be called "true to the Kaiser,"
It must not be imagined, he Insists,
that the `German army, although
smaller than before, has- ceased to
exist. On the contrary, he repre-
sents it as very much he existence,
and, moreover, commanded by Gen-
erals devoted to the Emperor's cause.
" The correspondent's informant did
not doubt that somethirfg in the
shape of a counter-revolution would,
be attempted before long. Tle said
the red flag is still freely displayed
in Bremerhaven, but he heard that
it -.had almost disappeared in the
Rhine district.
A • despatch- from Paris says: Wil-
liam Hohenzollern can be extradited,
in the 'opinion of Professor Batheleny
of the Paris law. faculty, who explains
that his, guiding• principle is that
when there is en apparent conflict
'between law and common sense, the
solution is always found in following
the latter. •
The theory that a political crime is
any crime inspired by purely politi-
cal motives, the Professor declares,
has long been abandoned. HE notes
that Belgium, in 1856, . classed regi-
cides among common law criminals.
Crimes such as the assassinations of
Pfiesident Carnot of "'ranee and King
Hunrbert of Italy were inspired by
political motives, he points out, and
yet the authors of them were exe-
cuted.
The atrocities ordered by former
Emperor William, the Professor con-
tinues, are condemned even in a
stats of war by international law,
and constitute com5non-law' crimes.
To maintain that they are not, be-
cause the object for which they were
committed was political, ls, he argues, •
at absurdity.

BRITISH CROSS
FIELD OF WATERLOO
Amazed to Find 'the' Opposing
Armies So CloSe Together.
A despatch from the British Armies
in Belgium says: When I crossed the
field' _of Waterloo the British and
French troops'were not far apart and
were moving in unison towards the
German frontier. A British general
was standing beside the great bronze
lion on the mound which -dominates the
battle field, iIo watched the troops
cross the historic ground.in a thin,
winding column which spread far into
the distance -•-a wonderful panorama.
of advancing arniies. • '
The British troops were fortunate
enough to find Waterloo on their
itinerary, and they have passed most
interesting hours on this battlefield,
The men clustered around a little Bel-
gian guide who told 'the story ofthe
battle very clearly and in excellent
English and they bombarded him with'
questions. They were amazed to find
that the opposing armies wereso close
tggether. T saw a sergeant4arefully
studying the position of Hougoumont
from the mound of the lion and then
I heard him say to his companions
that "a few trench mortars would
have settled the business."
"The Germans looked their last on
Waterloo ten dart's ago. They were
nearly starving, and a woman told
me that one of their last acts was to
hill and eat her pet eat.

CANADA'S RIC
MUNITIONS OUTPUT
Produced 4S per cent. 'of 'Entire
-Supply of Pyro-Cotton.
A despatch from Ottciwa says:-
Figuures compiled recently, show that
the Canadian production of muni-
tions supplied is ,it, very substantial
part of the material used by., the
British and Canadian armies in the
field during the closing menthe of
hostilities. Taking the British and
Canadian p1'odncttion of munitions
together, and dealng with the six-
month period ending last September,
Canadian plants produced one-quar-
ter of the total production of nitric
acid. ' The plant at Trenton, On-
tario, established by the Imperial
Munitions Board, was the second
largest producer of its kind. In
trinitrotoluol Canadian plants pro-
duced ten per cent. of the whole pro-
duction, and included the fourth
largest producer.
The Natiomcl Plant -gat Toronto,
which is carried on in the establish-
ment loaned to the. -Imperial Muni-
tions.Board by the Messrs, Gender -
ham was responsible for practically
the whole of tho production of ace-
tone by this particular process.
.Canadian production of pyre -cotton,
which is the basis for the production
of nitrocellumose and cordite pow-
ders, formed 48 per cent. of the whole
quantity produced. The - Trenton
plant was the largest producer 'of
this material in the ,j3r:itish.Empire.
