According to official announcement by Senator Lougheed, Aeting Minister of Militia, "My wife won't let me," will no longer be a barrier to would- be recruits in Canada. It has been decided that the regulation requiring married men to obtain the consent of their wives and single men between the ages of 18 and 21 the consent of parents or guardians should be abolish- ed; and a militia order to that effect will be promulgated. The order will. also wipe out the provision that en- ablEd a man in the overseas forces to purchase his discharge for $15. together as basic factors in the con- sideration of plans for Imper.al or - fence and defence, The lawmak.is in London, as ec matter of policy, have allowed nottl ing to interfere with the b lid nghu� of an all-powerful navy, y have steadfastly ignored the pro- tests of Englishmen who have con- tended that Great Britain would lie in an impossible position if a war should develop with a powerful maritime power. There were nu- merous men in Enuland who .believ- ed that in the event of an importan` European struggle involving Great Britain, "the hunger of London would dictate terms •of peace." But the Admiralty were convinced that tin sea power would keep all the routes Oran for foodstuffs. The lands in the British Isles which might have been devoted to the growth of more wheat were left as before, and the investors of Britain by placing their funds in the bonds of railways in Canada, in South Africa, in Aus- tralia and in New Zealand, where vast stretches of fertile country re- mained to be opened up, encouraged the production of a steady supply of foodstuffs which might be called up- on in case of emergency. The under- water craft of Germany -have failed to throttle the shipping of Great Britain. Her ships come and go al- most as they please.. And the re- sources of wheat lands, in them- selves many times the area of the British Isles are available for the need of the people of Britain. In facilitating the expansion of the various railway companies in the Dominion during the last thirty years, the successive Governments, federal and provincial, have enabled Canada to take up the burden of a greater production in this year of the Empire's peril, Canada is measuring up to her advertised destiny as the "Granary of the Empire," or, more emphatic still, "Bread Basket of the World." The prophecies of leaders of thought for three decades are on the verge of fulfilment. The large exportable surplus of the wheat fields in Canada will go to feed a fair proportion of the dependent mil- lions of England, and probably, the war -harassed Belgians as well. The railway lines which have been con- structed east and west and north and south throughout the country• have made her present position pos- sible. Without these essential traf- fic arteries the Dominion would have been merely a helpless spectator while' the greatest war in history rumbled through to a conclusion. Canada's most important contribu- tion to the cause of Empire is in wheat and flour and bread, The bulk of the supplies of Cana- dian wheat for export are drawn each year from the wheat fields of the prairie provinces. The total sup- ply may be computed by a study of the carryings of the railways. Dur- ing the crop year 1913-14, the Cana- dian Northern alone handled from the territory served by its western lines, 47,295,000 bushels. Estimat- ing the increase this year at 20 per cent. the C.N.R. should haul out ap- proximately 56,750,000 bushels of wheat from the provinces lying be- tween the Great Lakes and the Rocky Mountains. That quantity of wheat, converted successively into .our, and into standard loaves of bread, would feed Greater London, with its estimated population of 7,- 252,963, ;252,963, for more than four and a half years. According to the millers, a barrel of flour, 196 pounds, is made from 4 1-2 bushels of wheat, and accord- ing to the bakers, 187 standard loaves of 24 ounces each, are made from one barrel of flour. The antici- pated carryings on the Canadian Northern this season, then, repre- sent 12,611,111 bushels and 2,358,- 2777,757 loaves of bread. If this were divided in London each indi- vidual in the Imperial city would receive 325 loaves.

Currie, , •p„ received in Ottawa recently, contains some thrilling references to the terrific fighting along the west- ern front. He wrote on April 6, when the Canadians were resting a few miles back from the firing lines. While they were in the trenches, says Col. Currie, the fighting was in- cessant, shells by day and rifle fire at night. The fight at Neuve Cha- ' pe11e was very hot. The Canadians were not in the thick of it, "but the A, ride and artillery fire sounded like KR Niagara." The Canadian artillery at were doing good shooting, and he adds that the Canadian troops would as soon trust their own artillery to r„ shoot over their heads as the British n batteries. Even back from the trenches, as V, they went to sleep at night, they could hoar tho patter or German bul- lets against the was of tho building. At the thee of writing Col.
