Zurich Herald, 1917-06-22, Page 7A NEW BRITISH
REVOLUTION
SILENT AND BLOODLESS BUT
NONE THE LESS SURE.
Demand for a Federal Empire Grow-
ing in Strength as the World
War Rages.
Fifty years from now the record will
be written of the silent revolution
which took place in Great Britain be-
tween 1914 and 1917, says an English
writer. It will have many important
items, but the first in its effect on the
world will be the change of heart con-
cerning the British empire itself. I
put this fifty years hence because it is
safe to assume that the full meaning
of the revolution will not be known un-
til that time. Only the surface things
can be mentioned to -day.
Until we came into the war it was
rather unpleasant to think about this
change which will transform the Bri-
tish Empire into the British Common-
wealth. We were out of it, and it
always seemed that, intentionally or
not, we were the object of this change.
The French, too, felt that certain as-
pects of the new order of things would
stand between them and their great
ally after the war. We can be cer-
tain now that no such thing will take
' place.
A New Federation.
The British Empire is slowly merg-
ing into a new federation. Traditiona
and imperialistic to the end, the Bri-
ton will probably continue to call it the
empire. But the time has passed
when this tight little isle can
hope to be actual mistress of the vast
dominions in which she could be
swallowed up a hundred times. The
wax has accelerated a movement which
was slowly working through the em-
pire. In feet the war has. rather
thrown out the most ambitious plan
for the commonwealth and substituted
another. But the change would have
been long in coming if the war hadn't
shown the monstrous absurdity of the
present system.
Dominions Have No Voice.
The citizens of the Five Nations
realized in 1914 that they were not on
all fours in relation to the declara-
tion of war. It was bad enough for
England, according to the Union for
Democratic Control, because the voters
•direct had no dire say in the matter. But
the New Zealander hadn't even an in-
Paaet say ., Here he was volunteer-
" yyltiel c his ,representa-
not even declared. Did
antda influence the policy .of Sir
Edward Grey ? Was the Union of
South Africa consulted in regard to
.the Bagdad concessions? Here were
the dominions and the colonies and
India and the protectorates generous-
lypouring out their blood and their
treasure for a war which was only
theirs because the Motherland had
gone to the aid of the weak against
the strong.
That is only one side of it. Con-
sider the other side, which those who
live out of the United Kingdom do
not often hear. (Let us leave Ireland
out for the moment to prevent quibbl-
ing.) Here .are some 50,000,000 of
men, women and children. By due
process of law they elect representa-
tives and these representatives vote
immense sums of money to preserve a
fleet and to build up and keep elastic
- en army structure. Into this fleet
and this army go . hundreds of thou-
sands of young men from these
islands. Not one cent of the cost of
these weapons is paid by any outlying
dependency. And yet Canada and
Australia and Bermuda are absolutely
depe tI tit upon these weapons for
their security and their defence. A
vast mistake it seems, on both sides
Lesson Learned in 1776.
That situation would have caused
twenty rebellions long ago if it had not
been for the American Revolution in
1776. England realizes to -day that
the only thing which made the em-
pire possible was that the American
colonies had taught the tyrants of
those days such a lesson that they did
not dare repeat an experiment in un-
just government. The result has
been that the dominions are independ-
ent of the mother country in some of
the most vital matters. Britain does
not levy taxes on Canada; Australia
can, if it wants to, build a tariff wall
against New Zealand or against Bri-
tain itself. The empire has been a
loose union for generations, and that
Is why it is successful.
But it has been a real union, none
the less, as we have seen with as-
tonishment. The dominions which
might have chosen the outbreak of
war as the proper moment for separa-
tion or rebellion, or for declaring only
a passive war against Germany, never
hesitated, They plunged. And
their reward will be this: that after
the war in some form or other, they
will have a great deal to do with fu-
ture peace and war of the empire.
After this war we will see the citizens
of the entire empire, nearly half a bil.
lion souls, taking their part in de-
tiding their future.
When You Eat Bread
you are entitled to every.
thing in the whole wheat
grain.' Dr.'' Wiley says:
`Wheat is a complete food
containing all the elements
necessary for human nutri
tion." But be sure you get
the whole wheat in a digests
ble form. Shredded Wheat
iscuit is whole wheat made
digestible by steam -cooking,
shredding and baking—the
best process ever devised for
preparing the whole wheat
grain for the human stomach.
Two or three of these crisp
little loaves of baked whole
wheat with milk and berries,
make a delicious nourishing
meal. Made in Canada.

TRAWLER DErIED tr-BOA' o.
Two Submarines Reported Sunk After
Encounters.
Stories not hitherto published of
lively encounters between British
trawlers and German submarines in
the North See were told by Robert
Lowry and others at the recent n•1"'eet-
ing of the Mission to National Sea-
men. One trawler, Sir Robert said,
became such a terror to U-boats that
four of them lay In wait and eventu-
ally destroyed it. On one occasion,
this trawler armed with two light 'guns
was attacked by a submarine. One
shot went, through the deck house,
another smashed the wheel, "but the
skipper went on steering with broken
spokes." Another shot carried away
the cook's galley, but the trawler's
gunner hit the submarine, which then
had enough of it and went under.
Another unarmed trawler saw a
submarine on the North Sea and made
a dash for it with the result that the
U-boat quickly submerged. "It went
underneath," said Sir Robert, "because
it could not imagine it possible that a
trawler . would have the courage to
attack if it were not armed."
Sir Robert related how they learned
of the sinking of two submarines by
the bodies of the crew floating to the
surface, although five or six days
later a report was circulated from
Germany that the boat had returned
to port.
LINGERING WEAKNESS
FOLLOWING DISEASE
Banished by . the Wonderful
Tonic Powers of Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills.
How often victims of disease such
as la grippe, fevers, or •contagious
troubles are left weak, ailing and des-
pondent after the disease itself has
disappeared. They do not pick up
strength as they ought; remain list-
less tired and discouraged. The rea-
son for this is that the blood has
been impoverished by the ravage of
the disease through which the victim
has passed. Strength will not re-
turn until the blood has been enrich-
ed. The blood can ,be purified and
enriched by no other medicine as
quickly and as surely as by Dr. Wil-
liams Pink Pills—to enrich the blood
and strengthen the nerves is the
whole. mission i son of theseills. Thou-
sands
hon -
sands have found them beneficial in
bringing strength and, energy .after.
disease had left" them weak. and run
clown. Miss Hannah: Hamilton, Ev-
erett, Ont., says:—"After an attack of
la grippe I was so run down and
anaemic that I could scarcely walk.
I had no color, no appetite, and con-
stant headaches. The medicine I
was taking was doing me no good and.
I had almost lost hopo of getting bet-
ter. I was asked to try Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills, and it was not long until I
could feel that they were helping me,
and after taking them for a couple
of months I was completely cured. I
now never fail to recommend these
pills to anyone needing a blood build-
er."
You can get these -pills through any
dealer in medicine or. by mail postpaid
at 50 cents a box, or six boxes for
$2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medi-
cine Co., Brockville, Ont,
JUST EIGHT.
I'm
I'm just turned eight years old to -day.
That's getting pretty old, but say
I wisht it didn't take so long
To grow up really big and strong
Like Dad. For Dad, he's awful tall,
And nothin' can't scare him at all;
That's why he's went away to war.
I don't knqw what this fightin's for,
That is, not altogether quite.
But I know this, that when't comes
night
I wish I had my Dad. At tea
It's awful lonesome, just us three.
'N then when Sis bedtime comes
There ain't no Dad to do my sums.
But ma, she says that's for the right
That daddy's went away to fight,
'N then she looks all light an' glad
A'thinkin' of how brave is Dad.
'N then she calls me sonny -man
'N pats my head and says I can
Grow big an' brave like him, an'
strong
By doin' nothin' mean or wrong,
'N then she kisses me an' cries
'N turns away to hide her eyes.
Say, don't I wisht I was all grown;
I'd take my gun, an' all alone
I'd make them wicked Germans run
'N wisht they'd never seen my gun;
I'd wipe 'em all clean off the map
'N 'bring my great, big Daddy back.
But then I'm only eight, you see,
'N have to grow lots fore I'll be
As big as Dad. But yet you know
What Ma 'says must be right, and so
I'll help to grow a big, brave man
By bein' the goofiest boy I can.

Wireless in Warfare.
Gugliellno” Marconi, senator in the
Italian Parliament, captain in the
Italian navy, and inventor of the wire-
less, when asked recently what he
thought the greatest single accom-
plishment of the wireless had been in
the present war, answered: Its use by
aeroplanes~ The wireless has revo-
lutionized 'artillery action. Hereto-
fore the gunner did not know whether
his shot -landed accurately or not.
Guns are frequently placed in such a
way that the hills intervening cut off
direct observation. But nowadays a
big gun might be located on low
ground and: actually shoot over an ele-
vation to low ground on the other
side and be sure of its aim and range.
For the wireless constitutes the eyes
of the gun. Aviators remain in the
air above the position that is attacked.
They watch each shot. As it falls
they report back by wireless whether
it is too fer or too short. In less
than a minute after the shell has
burst, the commanding officer of the
artillery battery at the point of origin
has a report of the shot fired by each
of his guns.

Insufficiently Protected.
Mary had been greatly interested
in watching the men in her grand-
father's orchard putting bands round
the fruit trees to entrap the climbing
caterpillars, and she had asked . a
great many questions.

the city with her mother, she noticed
a man who wore a mourning band
round his sleeve.

Clarence announced his approachby
a rising succession of howls "Oh, my

"Poor little -finger!" his mother coo-
ed. "How did you hurt it?"
"With the hammer."
"When?"
"A long time ago," Clarence sobbed.
"But I didn't hear you cry."
"I didn't cry then; I thought you
were out," said Clarence.

Our Natural Resources.
One of the great movements of the
present time is the movement for con-
servation of our natural resources.
We have gone on as if the world were
coming to an end when we were dead.
Now we are getting a better perspec-
tive. The conservation movement, as
was natural, was at first most con-
spicuously identified with the conser-
vation of our forests and our water
power, but it must extend beyond the
forests and water power. It must
more immediately concern itself with
the conservation of the soil, for even
our brief history tells us that fertile
fields may 'become abandoned farms
through other causes than lack of
rainfall.

in the English industries now number
1.071,000.
Their Bomb.
When the worst of the Zeppelin
raid was over, says the Manchester
Guardian, a resident went out into the
down to see what damage had been
one. In the darkness he heard, a
group of women talking loudly, and,
judging them, a clue not to be ;neglect-
ed, he followed them along an alley in-
to the ba -sic yard of a house. The
debate never ceased, but he was unable
to get the gist of it until one ofthe
women—the most eloquent—appealed
directly to him.
"'Ere," she said, "do you call it fair,
I should like to know? T' bomb drop-
ped in our yard, and a body's gone and
took it away—never even give me a
receipt for it. It's our bomb!"

LIFT YOUR CORNS
F.
O F WITH FINGERS
How to lossen a tender corn
or callus so it lifts out
without pain.
o—o—o—o—o—o—o—o—o—o—o—o—o
Let folks step on your feet here-
after; wear shoes a size smaller if you
like, for corns will never again send
electric sparks of pain through you,
according to this Cincinnati authority.
He says that a. few drops of a drug
called freezone, applied directly upon
a tender, aching corn, instantly re-
lieves soreness, and soon the entire
corn, root and all, lifts right out.
This drug dries at once and simply
shrivels up the corn or callus without ,
even irritating the surrounding tissue.
A small bottle of freezone obtained
at any drug store will cost very little
but will positively remove every hard
or soft corn or callus from one's foot.
If your druggist hasn't stocked this
new drug yet, tell him to get a small
bottle of freezone for you from his
wholesale drug house.
