WHAT IS THE MATTEHT
The record of claims for exemption
from military service. and the small num-
ber of men reporting for -service, is dis-
quieting, revealing as it appears to do a
general unwidingress on the part of the
young men to join the forces overseas.
One has only to think hack two years tat
wine realize what a change has over the
spirit of the country. Then the question
was. "Ought I to go ?'' Now it is. "Do
have toe ?"
What is the matter ? Is it simply that
all the young men now remainingin the
country would rather stay at home in ease
and safety than face the hardships and
the risks of fighting ? We do not think so. Kele There are no doubt young men of
the type called "slackers." but any sincere
observer must see signs of other causes
for the present state of affairs than mere
laziness or cowardice. There is a general
state a unrest and discontent among the
- people. They are asked to give up their
sons and brothers while other men are
allowed to stay at home and earn big
wages o. in some casts. get big money
without earning it. by the devious ways of
the grafter. This feeling is very wide-
spread and must be reckoned with. It.
will be one of the factors M the cooing
election. The people have seen their
rights flagrantly violated at Ottawa, and
they have observed the attempt of the
men in authority to extend their terra oaf
office without giving the people an oppol-
tunity of expressing their wart at the
The formation of the sot -called union Gov-
ernment, with the claim that its candi-
dates should be elected without opposi-
tion. looks like another attempt to pre-
vent the people from having any say in the
conduct of the country's affairs. Those
at the head of the union Government
would be much better employed in re-
moving the causes of public discontent
than in trying to dose the ballot -boxes

Never was the evidence of a witness
more carefully staged than that of Sir
Joseph Flavelle, who was in the box
throughout the last day of the bacon in-

Toronto Saturday Night had a repre-
sentative watching the proceedings at the
re int bacon investigation at Toronto,
and it now demands that Sir Joseph
Flavelle be,retired from the public posi-
tion which he holds under the Govern -
m •nt. This. however. will not satisfy
the people. It would still leave the pork
baron free to pocket enormous profits
(roan his business. What is wanted is
drastic action to stop war -time profiteer-

U -Boats Cause Suffsrinh in Belgium.
The situation in Belgium has since
early summer undergone a drastic change
owing to the lack of shipping facilities
because of the depredation of the German
submariner•. Food can no longer be
shipped into Belgium in the sane quan-
tities as hitherto. providing Furthermore, the cost of pro llnl a
daily ration for .the Belgian population
is now borne bythe Belgian Govern-
ment with fus generously loaned at
first by the British and French Govern-
ments and now by the United States Gov-
ernment.
This provides each dependent in Bel-
gium with a minirnum ration to keep
body and soul together—a bowl of soup
and a slice of bread per day.
The Belgian Relief Fund in Canada
is, therefore, not called upon now to as-
sist in the feeding of the general popula-
tion and is free to devote Its energies to
the dire reeds of the little children who
are obviously unable to subsist on such a
meagre ration. with the consequence that
tuberculosis. rickets and other ailments
due to underfeeding, are exceedingly
„prevalent. Public contributions to the Bel-
gian cause are now being sent to Holland
for the alleviation of suffering by a special
feeding of little children.
Another phase of the situation as re-
gards children is shown by Mr. Hoover.

who says that the difficulty in imports
due to the t' -boats will now of necessity
be supplied j y encroaching upon the
country's stork of milk cattle which had
been reserved to maintain the supply
of fresh milk for the children. 1t is need-
less to elaborate on this point to mothers
