War time economy is, ; apparently, only to be practised by the common herd and not by Govern- ments. The speech from the Throne, or in other words, the sessional pro- • gramme which was retd by the Lieut - Governor, contained nothing of im- portance outside of the proposed measure relating to the taking of the votes of soldiers overseas, which is a very plain intimation that there will -shortly be an election, which explains the skimpy legislative programme. The Government have no intention of taking up silty advanced or contentious legislation,, because it would spoil their election chances, not bat that is plenty of room for needed changes and retrenchment. The.session is like- ly to be a very short one, as.there is nothing on the programme t detain the Jaw makers, and in all ucbahility, we will see an election, in Ai e. - OMMINNO••••••••••1140,61110110.11.. - 1 TUE REST DAY h Tile tires -tan order hulled by the Fuel Controller OR 'Monday, whieh. will be found on page one of this issue, while - - . raay not have come as a srrprise to , the- who are near to the se,atis of the rehtlety, certainly earn ?las •a urprise to ten people in general. - stated that the issue of the order was in eon- teet.e'ation a week previous, and - if the case it should have been n no:•inc ed then, There -are people in the country hundred ; of them, who e.

It ;is said on good autleerity that the Didted States al- ready have 500,000 men in France and the American Minister of War has stated that by summer they will have a million and a half, and if Germany is going to have .any chance at all, it is high time • they were commencing. Even with the help of the States, however, Hindenburg's army should notsfie taken too lightly.; He has made boasts before, and moreover he has carried them out, as in Russia, Roo - Mania and Serbia, The -Western front, is a very different proposition, how- ever, and on their showing the Allied armies are giving ,us every confidence in the result when the time comes. Reports of internal troubles in 'Ger-, many have been.very rife for the past week, but are now reported to, have been overcome and work has been a- gain resumed.' Just what is happen- ing in Germany, will not likely be known until after the war, the war lords will take good care of that, but they have not been able to Suppress' all the news. To those who have been looking for revoultion in Germany, the result of the reeent troubles will be, disaPpointinge There was no revolu- tion and there will not be until. the German people learn the true state of affairs; which they -Will never do if the military powers can prevent them. Germany has had for a generation a Government-owned press, the German people were told what the Government wanted them to hear, and &Mee the war they have heard nothing but their own sisie, and it will take a lot of telling and a heap of showing to convince them that their case is hope- less and that the Allied countries are. not in the same plight as themselves. If that feat can be accomplished then it is possible that tire may be a revo- lution, but that day is a long way off. yet. At. the same time there is • no doubt but that all is not well in Ger- many. The recent strikes and distur- bances have undoubtedly been eery serious and. have giventhemilitary authorities a good many anxious mo- ments However, they resorted to very, severe Measures, and, as in sirailar cases, they came out on top, but the people have shown their war weari- ness in Nay uncertain terms, and un- -less the army leaders are able to .man- ufacture a real victory On the Western' front, such as taking Paris, and by some means relieve the' distress caused by lack of proper food greater disturb; ancas -will again crop up, and that be- fore very long. It is possible that Hin- denburg may be in Paris by April, but if he is it will most probably be as a prisoner.
