B. JAMES W. G1013ARD'S
comments on cianditions in
Denmark, Norway, Sweden,
Switzerland, France and
Spain are of exceptional interest at
this time. .As former Ambassador to
the court of Berlin he shows that the
Scandinavian countries dwell fear-
fully In the 'sinister shadow east by
Teuton militarism. If Holland, Den-
mark and Norway have not acted
openly in sympathy with the Entente
a_liies it is because they have seen
what Germany has done to Belgium,
Serbia, Russia, and Roumania. The
JAMES \V. GERARD.
situation in Switzerland is equally
awkward, and, considering that more
than two-thirds of the Swiss people
are German in, origin, speaking the
German language, it is perhaps re-
markable that the email republic still
remains neutral,
Arriving in Paris while on his way
home from Germany, last year, Mr.
Gerard found the French capital a
place of abundance compared with
the German capital in which he had
resided since the beginning of the
war. But the French were short of
fuel, the cold was bitter, alI classes of
the population suffered from want of
heat, The atmosphere was so frigid
in the theatre the Ambassador at-
tended that though he sat in his hat
and fur coat he was so chilled at the
end of twenty minutes that he had to
leave. The actresses appeared in the
scanty costumes peculiar to a revue,
but they also wore their street furs
with rather bizarre effects.
At a railway station in Paris Mr,
Gerard talked with a blue -clad
French soldier, calm, witty, but de-
termined. He said: "My family comes
from the east of France, my great-
grandfather was killed by the Prus-
sians in 1814, my grandfather was
shot in, his garden by the Prussians
in 1870, my father died of grief in
1916 because my two sisters in Lille
fell into Prussian hands and were
taken as their slaves with all that
means. I have decided that, we must
end this horror once and for all so
that my children can cultivate their
little fields without this constant
haunting fear of the invading Prus-
sians."
It is not surprising to find the
former American Ambassador corn -
paring the manners of the Boches
with those of the French and the
Spanish. "What a contrast," he says,
"iia presented by the polite, agreeable
Frenehman and the stiff, formal, ag-
gressive Germans to whom I have
been acustomed." On visiting Madrid
he notes"the vast abyss which sepa-
rates the polite and eourteous Span-
iard, thinking of others, anxious to
be hospitable, and the rough, con-
ceited, aggressive Junkers of_ Ger-
many,"
Must Forget Ourselves.
We cannot possibly be expending
ourselves on generous work of any
kind, and at the same time be both-
ering about ourselves --the two atti-
tudes are naturally antagonistic. But
the `touchy," self-conscious man is
always instinctively allowing himself
to be thrust into the weaker position
and put into a state of siege, As a
.matter of tactics it is miserably in-
effective. He cannot afford it. It of-
fers openings of attack to the enemy,
if an enemy there be, or to the
thoughtless and mischievous who
have no idea of enmity, but are ready
to play a little on obvious weakness
for the sake of the human drama
that is produced. Tho perverse ten-
deney to tease anybody who can be

TUE NEW MAN POWER ACT
Yeeling that the military situation on
the west front is likely to continue serious
until the allied nations have added materi-
ally to the strength of their forces there,
the Dominion Government has decided
upon a course of action which will not fail
to secure recruits to reinforce the Canad-
ian expeditionary force immediately and
in considerable numbers. It has passed
an order-in•Council unlet• the War Meas-
ures .Act taking to itself wide powers to
enroll men in the army. For that order
it is asking the approval of both Houses
of Parliament,, and having obtained that
approval, it will call to the colors all Hien
who are unmarried or widowers without
children between the ages of 20 to 23, in-
clusive. Exemption, which has heretofore
been granted to such men,Avill be swept
aside, and the only reasons which will ex-
cuse any of thein from service will be that
they are members of His Majesty's regu-
lar, reserve of auxiliary forces, that they
are members of forces raised by other
British dominions . or possessions, that
they are serving in the navy or marines,
that they have been discharged after act-
ual service on the firing line, that they are
members of religious orders or of the
clergy of a recognized religious denomina-
tion, that they are Doukhobors or Men-
nonites exempted from military service by
order -in -Council in 1873 or 1898, or that
other members of their family have died,
suffered disablement or served in a
"theatre of actual war," By reason of
the death, disablement or service of other
members of the same family, a man may
be granted by the Minister of Militia
leave of absense without pay. Other
grounds for exemption will be of no effect,
and even men, who have been discharged
from the military or naval forces if they
have not seen actual •service in France or
setae other "theatre of actual war" will
be required to report. As far as those
who have been examined by military medi-
cal boards and found unfit for service are
concerned,, the Minister of Militia may
use his discretion as to whether or not
they shall be ordered to report for service.
While the Government contemplates
the immediate calling to the colors only of
unmarried men and childless widowers
from 20 to 23 years of age, it • proposes to
take still wider powers. It may, under
the order -in -Council, call up any class
under the Military Service Act and dis-
allow exemptions granted to men included
in that class. Furthermore, the order will
bring within the scope of the Military
Service Act all young men who have at-
tained the age of 19 years since the pass-
age of that law or who hereafter, reach
that age. Such youths who are unmar-
ried or childless widowers have been add-
ed to class one under the Act, and such
as are married or widowers with children
are added to class two. Each of those
classes now comprises men between .the
ages of twenty and 34,
If their class has .been called to the
colors, young men will he respired to res
port for service within ter" days of the
date upon which they reach the age of
19. That is to say single mien and child-
less widowers will, after the ordersin-Coup-
cil become operative, have to present
themselves as they pass their nineteenth
birthdays. While the exemption provis-
ions of the Military Service Act will not
apply to unmarried Hien from twenty to
twenty-three years of age and may be
made inapplicable, if the Government
thinks fit, to other classes as they are
called, they will not become altogether
inoperative They will continue to apply
to men in classes not summoned to the
colors under the new order, The tribun-
als will, therefore, continue in existence,
and their work will be speeded up in an
effort to secure men other than those to
be summarily placed in the military forc-
es. It is hoped that the call to men from
20 to 23 will secure the men immediately
required for reinforcements. If it does
not suffice, a further call will be made.
In cancelling li g exemptions granted to men
of those ages the Government has taken
the position that few, if any, of them can
be regarded as indispensable in the nation-
aI interest in industry.
REGULATIONS
1.—In these regulations.(a) "Minister"
shall mean the Minister of Militia and
Defence,
(b) "Act" shall mean the Military Ser-
vice Act, 1917,
2.— Class one under the Act, shall, in
addition to the men included therein as
in the said Act mentioned, include all men"
who
la) are British subjects; and
(b) are not within the classes of persons
described in the exceptions mentioned in
the schedule to the Act; and
(c) have attained the age of 19 years;
but were born on or since the 13th Octo-
bei, 1897; and
(d) are unmarried or widowers without
children; and,
(e) are residents in Canada.
3.—Class 2 under the Military Service
Act, 1917 shall, in addition to the then in• flowick Coliitdil
eluded therein as in the said Act mention-
ed, include all then who; Council met in Coal'3 Hotel, Fordwich,

oe unto you that are
full, for ye sha�� hunger.".
Not spiritually (although even the
penalty of remorse may follow'
your neglect of this national warn-
ing) but ye shalt hunger in the
trying physical sense in which
hunger now grips the peoples of
Europe.
We. know "it is difficult to talk to
the belly which hath no ears," and
it is just as difficult to persuade a
person who has a full dinner be-
fore him to -day that he may want
for food next mo.^�th.
But you may as well let this fact
sink into your mind —the last
people that Canada and theUnited
States will allow to suffer for
want of food are our fighting
men, and if a sufficient exportable
surplus of food cannot be raised
and saved by voluntary efforts, then
very drastic rationing measures
will be enforced.
It nay astonish you to learn that in
1917 Ontario did not grow enough
wheat for its own needs. Conse-
quently every Ontario farmer
Luke 6 , 25.
whose land is suitable, has been
urged to sow 5 acres more spring
wheat this year so that Ontario's
demand for wheat shall not be met
at the expense of that portion of
the Western crop that should more
rightfully be shipped overseas.
For this same reason every house-
holder who has a garden or a piece
of vacant land is being urged to •
grow vegetables, because therniore
vegetables that are grown and
eaten in Ontario, the less wheat and
meat there will be consumed, and
that being so, the Ontario wheat ,
crop should then be •sufifcient te:
feed our own people, and learn -
more Western wheat and other
foods available for export.
If you have not yet decided to
plant a vegetable garden make Grp
your mind to do so now. You well'
not regret it. There is still lotsof
time. Potatoes and beans may be .: .
planted up to June lst and these
are the best substitutes for wheat'•
and meat.
For good, practical advice upon hove to lay out and cultivate a Vegetable `.
Garden, write for a free copy of the booklet entitled; "A Vegetable Gar•
den for Every Home." This has been prepared by the Ontario Depart..
went of Agriculture for the guidance of citizens who will respond to
this call for increased production. -

WOMEN TORTURED!
Suffer terribly with corns because of
high heels, but why care now
Women wear high heels which buckle
up their toes and they suffer terribly from
corns. Women then proceed to trim
these pests, seeking relief, but they hardly
realize the terrible danger from infection,
says a Cincinnati anthority.
Corns an easily be lifted out with the
fingers if you will get from any drug store
a quarter of an ounce of a drug called
treezone. This is sufficient to remove
every hard or oft corn or callous from
one's feet. You simply apply a few drops
directly upon the tender, aching corn or
callous, root and all, lifts out without one
particle of pain.
This freezone is a sticky substance
which dries in a moment. It just shrivels
up the corn without inflaming or even ir-
ritating the surrounding tissue or• skin,,.
Tell your wife about this.
