In either case the war has been won by the Allies. The terms under which the Allies will grant an armistice to Germany have been unanimously a- greed upon and signed, but contrary to the general expectation the terms will not be forwarded to Germany, but in - steady she will be required to ask Gen. Foch for them. As we showed last. week, these terms are ample to se- cure the Allies against any treachery on the part of Germany,- but whether Germany is yet ready to accept them, only time will tell. But whether she does accept them or does not, will make no difference in the final result; she is already beaten, and every day she delays in accepting peace 'at the Allies terms, will only add to her dis- tress and humiliation. During the week Austria, her greatest Ally gave up the fight, and signed an uncondi- tiona (surrender and not a moment too soon, as her surrender saved her arm- ies from complete annihilation. When the Austrian armistice became effec- tive, the Italian and allied armies, in a ten days' battle had attained what is considered the greatest military victory in the world's history. Dur- ing the ten days the Italians and the Allies captured more than 500,000 prisoners, 200,000 horses and 5,000 guns, besides liberating more than 20,000 square miles rf territory and 1,000 villages. The term under which their terrible defeat ended on the Ita- lian front include complete demoboliz= ation of the Austrian forces, surren- der of a half of all her artillery and military equipment, the occupation by the Allied forces of such strategic places as may later be decided, the use of Austrian railroads for operation against Germany, the evacuation of all invaded territory, leaving behind all equipment and supplies, the sur- render of a large part of the Austrian navy and submarine fleets and the dis- armament of the rest, the surrender of all German submarines in Austrian waters and the freeing of all Allied prisoners without reciprocity. This accomplishes complete surrender and *pens Austria and Hungarian territory for Allied operations against Ger- many. Germany now stands alone. But as the fall of Bulgaria and Turkey brought the fall of Austria, so will the fall of Austria bring the downfall 8f Germany. The fall of Germany's Allies leaves, the immense Allied arm- ies which have been engaged in the east free to attack Germany on the now exposed and unfortified southern boundary, which is little more than 100 miles from Berlin itself. The great German. cities of Munich and Dresden are now within easy range of our aircraft, and from the boundary planes can reach Berlin in less than two hours. If Germany does not ca- pitulate at once, Lloyd George has in- timated that a move against Germany' will be commenced immediately un- less in the meantime Germany sues for an armistice, which means peace. Germany is now encircled as a result of • the dezertien-ef her Allies. The collapse of Austria,- has forced open Germany's back door as one writer ex- pressed it, and a clear passage through Austria is now open against the Ger- man states of Prussia, Saxony. and Eaveria, not one of which is organized for defence. Thus, without moving a man from the Western front, the Al- lies could draw from their victorious southern and eastern fronts a force More than sufficient to drive a way into the heart of Germany. While these plants are underway the Allies are not easing the pressure en the Western front. There the ter- rific blows_ being dealt by the British, French and Americans are having .greater effect every day,'and the Ger- many army has been forced to retreat along the whole front, although fight -- desperately. During the past week thousands to ;prisoners and hundreds of guns have been captured and fight as hard as she can, Germany is unable to stem the Allied advance. So far the enemy have been able to oonduct p 1 ...40101.0.4.0,0.1.. semblance of an orderly retreat, al- though their losses have been collossal, but very soon Germany will be forced to the realization that. Gen. --Foch is the master and that the :sooner she gives in the better it wiIi be for her. Speaking in the House of Commons on Monday the Premier said: "Whatever Germany's reply might be, the assoc- iated powers awaited the issue with perfect confidence, The war is already won." • CHEAPER HOGS --DEARER BACON The following from the Edmonton Bulletin hits the nail on the head re- garding the hog and bacon situation not only in the Western Provinces but in Huron County as well: The local market reports select hogs off cars $18; off farmers' wagons, $17.50; fed and watered $17.25. Not long ago the price for selects was $20 or over. Present prices show a drop of over two cents a pound in price • to the farmer or producer within a few weeks. Choice bacon in the retail stores in Edmonton is 70 cents a pound. A few weeks ago 65e was the highest price, and not long before that 60 cents.1 As a matter of fact when flogs were 20 cents bacon was sixty cents. Now that bacon is 70 cents hogs, are 18 cents. This result is not reached thrq igh the operation of the law of supply and demand. It is a result- of arbitrary interference with that law= -not in the interests of the producer, who' is get- ting less for his hogs; nor in that of the consumer who is paying more for his bacon. It is a straight ca e of war time profiteering on the part of the big business which controls the preparation for market and the distri- bution to consumers of hog products, s We have autocracy in its most ex- treme and ob,'ectionable form in Can- ada-under an ada-under p etense of war necessity. We have foo control, drastic -to ab- surdity. There are a myriad blood- suckers drawing salaries from the pub- lic treasury under_ pretence of pro- tecting the public interest in the mat- ter of food supply, ostensibly. for mil- itary reasons. While the consuming public are being robbed by the pro- fiteers, production is being discouraged by a drop in price not warranted by the conditions of world supply. With hogs going clown while bacon is going up the farmer sees himself in the hands of the pork barons. He has no knowledge as to how far they will go in cutting the price of hogs. The price of grain is high -so high that only a high price for hogs will pay for its being fed to them. Possibili- ties of peace with general collapse of war prices is being talked of -what is mere natural than that under such circumstances the farmer is saying: "I'11 take no chances that I don't have to. I'll sell my grain this year and keep less hogs next year." If a farmer is to have hogs to sell in the fall of 1919 this is the time of year in which he must make his preparations in the matter of breeding stock. Pigs to be marketable in the fall to best advantage should come in the early spring. It is unfortunate that the pork barons should see fit to drop the price of hogs -in the face of a rise in the price of bacon -at this particular time of year when the far- 1 mer is making up his mind as to his course for next year. Good judg- ment, if they had any regard for in- crease of production, would have im- pelled them to keep up the price of hogs in the fall, so that the farmer would be encouraged to provide for an increase in his stock next spring. In this connection it should not be for- gotten that there is a short crop of grain this year and that many far- mers will have to buy the feed that will winter their brood sows over. At such a time the farmer weighs the conditions more closely thane he other- wise Would. It is ; easy for him to persuade himself against making a cash outlay with the chance of future loss from, causes beyond his control and outside his knowledge as well as outside the laws of supply and de- mand. - r McKILLOP Personal. --Miss Jean A.

We are living in strenuous . and trying times. The longstrain and anxiety of the war . and the sadness of be- reavement have borne heavily upon us and further we have been called to pass under a new affliction in the peril- ous influenza which has come as a scourge to our land, calling us to peni- tence and to prayer. As the closing of the churches for a few weeks has kept us from assembling for pray- er, let us be diligent in private prayer. Let us set up the family altar, if it has been neglected in the past.that we may realize God's presence and rest on His everlasting arms. The capable nurses and doctors have been so faith- ful. They are a great blessing to our lives and in death we know they_ are willing to lay down their lives for us. The days of enforced absence from school and church are _finding our teachers anti preachers prayerful. and anxious that we may have greater faith in our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. . As the church services be- gin again, let us show our gratitude to God by being more faithful and helpful in every line of church work. May the God of Peace sanctify , you wholly and I pray G d, your whole spirit, soul and body' be presented blameless unto the coining of our Lord Jesus Christ. Yours in the Mas- ter's Service. -A, E.
