THE WAR SITUATION
•
Events in the great world war are
happening so rapidly that it is diffi-
cult to keep up with them, but be-
fore another issue of The Expositor
we will definitely know. whether we
are to have an immediate peace or
whether Germany intends to fight on.
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

A Message From"The pastor of the
Methodist Chureh,-Our' hearts are
full of gratitude to our Father in
Heaven that these sad times find us so
tender hearted and sympathetic. 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. Doan.
Briefs. -The shed at the Methodist
church has been repaired,the roof fixed

tra electric lights installed. This

ties using the shed are requested to

churches on Sundae, Nov, 10th. Ser-

The morning subject will be "The Law

evening subject, "The World Conflict

the church being closed, the pastor
utges all members and adherents to

visitors are assured a hearty welcome,
