"put paid" to warfare for isil time; No nation would eyer be ;quad enough, or wicked enough, to !turn hiurope once more into a shamb- $est The mea who had fought said! 2'Never agfiln"—andnmeant,it! Yet, despite that'fact, I believe that another war will come, and that it ie beyond the power of politicians, ideal feta, and churches to prevent it.: I will •gofurther and say that, in trying to prevent it, ere may be exposing Bri-, ainto real peril. • War will come again because human nature has not, changed, and because lane generation has no power to pass ;on the reality of its experience to the next. It► ten years' time the great ma - 'derby 01 men of military age in this country will be those who have never heard the whihe of a shell or known the smell of the trenciios. They are reading about these things now in the War books, but the horrors do. not 'frighten—they thrill ;them. After the novelists have done their worst, war still remains a great 'adventure in the mind of youth—all 'adventure that stirs the blood even of those who have been taught front the ,cradle that it is wrong. For you can't alter human .nature. Dive a young child a model farmyard 'eud a box of tin soldiers -and see yehich of the two toys engages hie at- tention. Watch a regiment of soldiers ttnarching by, and -see the eyes of the spectators glisten with excitement. ' Nations, That Are "Land Hungry" . Nothing but a taste of war itself Will- convince the average healthy young man that the game is not worth the candle. They will tell you that ;they are all for peace, but how rad*. ply they would convince themselves where their duty lay if their country's jnterests were threatened and an ap- :peal made to their patriotisat. These foots want stating; to say that it would be imposible to get the men to fight another war is -nonsense- A .call to arms would be ,followed by. a rusk to the color's, . From one point of view it is as well that the coming generation is pre- pared to fight—if uecesasry. Imagine. what would happen if all the young it nteu of Britain suddenly refused to tight in any circumstances, without refei'ence.to the fact that the men of other countries were still being con - Scripted, drilled, and turned into effi- cent soldiers, For wemust have no illusions about war being banished for ever. Si far le that from being the case that the possibilities of war, in every direction except one, are greater to- day than they were in 1914. The In- tensified fight for trade and raw nla- terial--oi r.. r t co ubber, and the rest n, —Is really a peacetul form of warfare wbieh may lead to armed conflict at any time. Natio! T are still 'divided • between those who have land in. abundance for their populations and those that are "land hungry." The termer are prepared: to fight rather than yield an inch of their territories. ,The latter may at any time demand their."place in the sun." "Such disputes would be retorred to tho League of Nations," reply the Idealists, The League is doing good work, but it will never stop war. It Is too weak. It can deal with small ' nations like Finland or Greece, but It cannot coerce a strong nation like Italy or Japan. If it attempted to do eo, it would be split into two comps. When Honor Is at Stake Again, more than half the world is not in tate League, Russia isn't; nor are the vast hosts of Islam, in Arabia; Asia, the cradle of future wars, looks upon the League as a white man's trick to dominate the world for ever- more, and is suspicious. Do not think that I ant unsympath- etic to the efforts which the Prime minister and the statesmen of other nations are making to banish war, Those efforts are restricting the eon, Bible gauge of conflict and Probably 'ensuring - us more years of peace than we abould othei'wise enjoy. But the reason for the "will for peace" which undoubtedly exists in alt nations to- day is not:. to be found in treaties or Covenants, however sincerely ,their Implications have been accepted. it is to be Sound in anotlfer fact, -in the only fact that over a long period et Years is likely to make war improb- able Debt. At the present time no great nation, except 'the United States, could finance 'another war. without fdciug bankruptcy and appall; ing chaos, with revolution' in its train, And they all know it. Hence the ur- gent appeals for more and more peace treaties.. But the day will come when one, na- tion will, feel that its honor is at stake, and another nation will have gone too far to draw back with dig- . Biity, and on that day the tramp ' of mar'ching feet and the rumble of gun- limbers—and the drone ,of countless multitudes of war planes -will be heard agaiu, despite Pacts, Treaties, Oovenaute, Leagues, and apostles of poste, So clever was the work of a count- er'feittet' recently arrested In Loudon that his coins had to be sent to the remained the standard 'with, physi- mhit before they were proved spurl-.

The reason Ibr it, we are told, 15 that the .dangers and dimculties et liquor - running to the United States have be- come too great. A West 'Indian 'correspondent of the London Observer blames the licensing authorities of Nassau for Biinini's bad name,, It is not too much to say, he alleges, that they could ' smash the bootlegging industry in Bimini if they so wished. Meanwhile, this inforanautgoes on to describe the island's shape as roughly making the arc of a circle. At its southern end is another small is- land, we learn, thus forming an'ideal harbor with.-a.narrow channel as en- trance. The population of the settle- ment around the harbor is given as 400 odd. On the main front street, Bay Street, it is related, there are five liquor 'saloons and one licensed club. We read then: "In the harbor therearetwo liquor barges,, and one anchored schooner, which serves. the same purpose. These' barges are rectangular in shalie, being about fifty by thirty feet. There are two houses in either barge, one at each end. One serves as the sleeping -compartments 05 the boot- leggers, and the other as the dining. room and kitchen,. The space be- tween the houses le open on either side, and serves as a platform into which tate liquor is unloaded from the Nassau schooners, and from which it 1t loaded on to the Florida 'boats. Both houses and platform are covered by a common roof, giving the appearance of a neat little cottage. "Underneath the houses, that is in the hull of the vessel, several thous- ands of cases of liquor can be stored, so that there may be always a plenti- ful supply on hand. In short the barges and the schooner serve exactly the sante purpose as wholesale build- ings on laud, only their position in the harbor so facilitates loading and un- loading that the one 'warehouse on land hasdnractically ceased to do busi- ness. "The harbor is also dotted over by some thirty motor -boats, averaging about twenty-five feet in length, pos., sessing powerful engines and capable of carrying four hundred eases. "Some of these boats are very fast,. and can reach the Florida coast in 'two hours. These belong to the boot- leggers la Miami, who employ young Men to pilot them and shoot across with loads according to orders, The course of procedure is as follows; "The owners of the barges live in Nassau, and order. tate liquor from England to that port, It arrives in cases, and they repack it lute sacks,. so that it can be handled with light- ning speed, Each sack contains six bottles. "The sacks are then put aboard schooners, which convey the liquor the 116 miles from Nassau to Bimini Zoe course, there are other centres as well as Bimini, but we are concerned just now only with the latter). The schooners drake_. up alongside the bargee and unload. The American bootleggers now do business with the barges, each of which has a capable man in charge. Thus far everything is plain sailing. "The greatest risks df all are taken by the meu who carry the liquor from the barges to the coast et Florida. 'A' receives a cable from kis employer itt Miami t0 bring, say, '400 Cases over to -night' (there are two sacks in'a case). Ile loads alp from a -barge, and at sunset speeds out of the harbor to cress the Gulf. "I'Ie has a certain rendezvous, known to hint and his associates at the outer stile—some point of land or some creek, perhaps ten or twenty tulles from Miami. Later on, wheu the authorities have become suspicious of this place,' he will change It to an' other. 1Ie unloads, and is told 'wheth- er to bring a load the following night or the next, or to wait another cable," This West Indian correspondent of The Observer goes on to relate that the runt-ruuner then makes his way back to Bimini, andat sunrise his Oxcarts and Aeroplanes lanes It is a far 'cry from the'elow-mov- Ing, primitive, high -wheeled -cart, Mail- ed by oxen along the roads of Ceylon, to a speedy aeroplane in the winter sky over Lake Erie, but many of the people on Pelee Island are now drink- ing tea, carried there by air, that jog- gled along in an oxcart under a tropi- cal sun in Ceylon only a few weeks ago. The Salado Tea Coutpany, because of tine freezing over of Lake Erie, be- tween Pelee' and the mainland, recent- ly shipped several hundred pqunds of tea by air, in order to replenish the diminishing stock of a certain grocer on the island. There is no doubt that the aero- plane ie fast taking its place as- a freight carrier and it Is gratifying to seesome of our -larger, Canadian in- dustries utilizing this means of trans- portation In the name of service. —FARM HELP' Ii MISR: BOYS AND SINGLE: MEN Weekly Parties During Early Spring.

Leading' Agriculturist With fifteen years practical experi- ence in agricultural and livestock af- fairs and having represented Canada on =Imperial committee to study tate meat supply of the British Empire, Leonard Christie-McOuat has recently been appointed, general agricultural agent of the ' Canadian Pacific Rail- way. He was born' at St Andrews East,:Quebec, in 1892, and took his degree. of Bachelor of Sci'euce in Ag- riculture at McGill University. After returning from military service,iu the war, Mr, McOuat was called to Ottawa as bacon specialist of the Dominion Livestock Branch, Department of ,Agriculture, and, following a special study of the British meat market, was selected to join the first Imperial.Ec- onomic`Committee to investigate and. report on British Empire meat supply which met in London in 1025. His wide knowledge and experience are now at the service' of the Canadian Pacific Railway. osrwk• -_.. . P 1 .LIPS `449s tlacy4 For ®sable® doe 50 AMdt,:..

Probably he is now asleep on the barge, this writer ventures, happy in the fact that another sunt has been placed to his credit. Meanwhile his load, we are told, has been met by a motor -truck or by cars. If the load is to go to Miami, it appears, a truck takes it there. But sometimes, it seems, a consignment is: placed in the back -of a private car, and driven north to some other city. The destination' of every sack is already arranged be: fore the boats arrive, and we read: "Perhaps half a dozeu or more of these boats will cross in one night, all going to separate points along the coast, and all being net as in the case of 'A.' They set out knowing that they may be discovered by coast guards in their patrol boats. If they are discovered, and do not 11415 they may be shot. If they are captured it means' -five years' imprisonment and a five -thousand -dollar fine for a first of- fence (the employer always pays the latter). "They dare make the attempt only during the dark period of the ntfinth. In moonlight all boats lie up. They also have to brave stormy seas. Some- times boats go out and are never heard of again. Frequently they are captured. The other iuen only laugh, and wonder wheu their time will come. "On the American side the authori- ties often capture a load as it is going to Miami or elsewhere. Bribery is re- sorted to however, , an d the loads are often allowed to pass through. The liquor is stored in, secret, "Au inuoceut-looking building may be the home of some of it, or a harm- less -looking restaurant adapted for receiving and disposing of the liquor may be able to provide its clients. The consumer will pay as much as ten dol- lars a bottle for it, "It ought to be added that the boot- legging business has diminished great- ly in recent clays. The dangers and difficulties of smuggling the liquor to America are so great. "The-Lfceusiug Board in Nassau is composed of the Receiver -General, the Stipendiary Magistrate, and three other persons, appointed annually by the Government. Upon them rests the responsibility of granting licenses to the saloons and barges in Bimini, and it is not too much to say that they have the power 0f smashing the boot- legging business in that quarter. "Why do they not use their power? Every license is supposed to be grant- ed on its merits, The average num- ber for a settlement the size of Bimini is three, and this was the number there previous to bootlegging days, and oven they were only small saloons run by colored natives. At the pre- sent time there are Mlle licenses in Bimini/even though the original three saloons are still sufficient to supply the settlement. "None of the licensed establish- meats do a wholesale trade with any surrounding ' settlements, because there are none for many miles. The' only place that the barges can do busi- ness with is Florida—hence the boot- legging, "The Licensing Board appears to -close its eyes to the fact that an 'un- limited quantity of liquor is, being eon- veyed to a settlement for the sole pur- pose of being smuggled into America and violating the law of a friendly. coantry."
