SOMETHING WILL HAPPEN
Of course we- cannot tell whether or not the work
of blew.xg up ail use powder pta* in the tailed
Stales is attributable to Germans and their sytn
tathiaers. b.t we feel justified by dmunstnom and
facts i- the belief that they are.
Cimttstsoors over whien no cue country ras an;
control, prevent Germany from censing over and get
-r.r aELr-iuriticai- and other war supplies that she
would like to have. So much for ciroamstances that
justify oar belief that Germans are at the root of
these hlcwuts. Since their country cannot help her
self to cur stores her citizens will see that other
countries do set partake of them either. Which is
aatoiaL
As to facts. unless Germany can fSwd an unlimited
«c» of supply, she cannot last mad* longer. Which
is also natural. Therefore, her patriotic sons abroad
reaiimng the predicament their country is in. are ea
desvurtBg to help her the best way they car., and if
the blowing up :: tr>r~ier plants is the best way. it
;i sis,* natural that they shook! avail ikeatriws of
the offer. They sympathise with their country re
mariless of the fart that they have become Amertcar.
ctisas. ami knm-nig well that the incentive behind
the manufacture ci powder is the mighty dollar, they
will sacrifice the dollar to help their country; and is
a way, they carnet i be blamed, even though some ci
cur citisers lose their lives in tM bio wops. The;
.-vtiertly crustier that if they ear. destroy tens of
powder. even if acoontpaaied by the life of a few hu
man beings- its cestrocsicn saves possibly thousands
©f ' ,ves on the battlefield. Possessed of this belief,
‘.be work of blowing up cf powder plants v2 go cm
Bet we fear that the real Americans will get tired cf
that ami. something will happen.
To prevent * hat we suspect WEI happen, wa
wobM suggest ceasing the manufacture cf war sup

plies, even if we do lose a few dollars, and incidentally
we shall stop the war. Thereby save millions front
going *«. their graves through the powder route, not
speaking of the < tier millions who must die of star
vation. And after tire war vs over we shall have
time to attend • ©«r trouble makers at home

NO SHOW FOR BRAN DEIS
Evidently the United States Senate is applying the
X-ray on Preside*' Wilsons nominee for associate Jus
tice of the Supreme Court, and if the case is such
as to require tie application of the instrument, which
longer, we fear that the cruel investigators will kill
the poor fellow. If the application of the instrument
wa* made to detect defects in his bodily make up.
! being robust, he might survive, but since the insiru
* mens is used upon his character, he cannot possibly
survive, because hat's where he is deficient.

THE NEW INDUSTRIAL CANADA
(From the Washington Post 1
Canada is being wonderfully changed because of
the war. It is becoming one of the considerable
source* of w ar supplies for she allies; not merely of
agricultural aad "’crest products, that it, but os man
ufactures as well. They have their booms in war
brides just a? we in this country have them; and the
sadden diversification, of manufacturing is having s
: feUing effect os the conssnunity
There is a rrfv and aeater realiwrtion of the indus
trial possibilities of Canada; an inquiry why, if Cana
da can convert itself into a manufacturing country un
der stress of war’s necessities, it may sot do the same
insider the rMwngenas of peace conditions.
Casa is produces—this js an illustration—about
three-quarters of the nickel used in the world. Re
fusing that nickel has been regarded a* impracticable
sb Canada, and so the crude metal has been sent sway,
chiefly to thi- country, for refinement. Now the Can
adians are waking up to the possibility of keeping the
industry at home. Why mot pay a bonus t© have it
done there: or impose an export tax on ere* sent a
way for refinement?
That as only symptomatic. But it indicates the
new processes stirring tit the Canadian mind. It is
a good guess that the first genera lien after the war
will see Canada make strides, in population, and in
dustry, such as have -ever been dreamed in the past.

A POOP. SELECTION
The surprise of the month was the appointment of
Louis D. Braroaeis to a place on the Supreme Bench.
The anr c-ur.cem- -: was followed by sarcastic comment
and criticism. Mr. Brandeis is conceded to be a
brsilisBT talker and a clever lawyer, hot owing to his
past unfair attitude a: a times toward everything
that remains to successful enterprise, would seemingly
make him unfit for a place on the Supreme Bench,
selection.—Railway & Marine News.
