Caban, K.C., forâ€" merly ijeader of _ the Conservative party .in Vova Scotia, tells the truth about the German war bogey. ‘‘The German scare," he says, ‘"which ‘has been created in Canada, finds . meaâ€" gre if any support from the responsâ€"~ ible Ministers of the Crown." The words of Mr. Winston Churchill were quoted to show that next year Britâ€" ain will have~ five more battleships and four more cruisers of the Dreadâ€" nought type than Germany, and that three years hence, in 1915, Britain will have 27 Dreadnought battleships 4~ (ermanv‘s 17. and 10 _ Dreadâ€" and four more cruisers Of 1N 27 WER~ nought type than Germany, and that three years hence, in 1915, Britain will have 27 Dreadnought battleships to Germany‘s 17. and 10 Dreadâ€" nought cruisers to Germany‘s 6. Mr. J. Allen Baker, in a _ recent statement in the Globe pointed out how utterly overwhelming Britain‘s wtrencth is in pre Dreadnought ships. stret 1e s ‘‘In our fleet we ol them,‘ the first | Germany‘ mment of 5 wh "In our mighty _ preâ€"Dreadnought ' lect we have 40 battleships (‘many |! it them,‘ as Mr. Asquith said, ‘in| the first bloom of youth‘) against|: Germany‘s 20. Ours have a displaceâ€"| inent of 584,000 tons to the Germans‘ 211,000 tons â€" 38 ‘of our ‘40 _ have among them 152 twelveâ€"inch guns, while the 20 German ships.. have no guns larger than elevenâ€"inch ones, and only 40 of them. But besides _ these ‘firstâ€"class preâ€"Dreadnought battleâ€" ships there is also our fleet of armorâ€" ed cruisers gp be reckoned with, we have 35 of them, and Germany has 8; ours displace 416,000 tons, theirs disâ€" place 78,500 tons; ours have 410 gun, theirs have 112; 68 of our guns are 9.2, while the Germans have only & over 9â€"inch, and they are 9.4. So that not only in numbers but also in tlie calibre of the guns the _ British sea power is simply overwhelming P‘ Is it any wonder, in view of these facts, that Conservatives like _ Mr. Cahan should ask why ‘"so long â€" as the British electorate are content with their ‘Government‘s~ conduct . of foreign affairs and with the _ ample provision made by their â€" Government for their â€" naval defence _ Canadians should attempt by free [ gifts _ of their public funds to express want of confidence in the British Governâ€" ment, which is not responsible to us, or seek to make up an alleged deficiâ€" eney in British naval construction when the British Government and their experts of the Admiralty so positively declare that no such . defiâ€" ciency exists?" That the German wat scare is & manufactured _ ‘"bogey"" _ to ° enable Premier Borden to satisty his jingo advisers and at the same time . to shirk for the time being the solution of the larger question of a Canadian navy there is every reason to believe. Whethér he will be able to stampede Parliament into the support of an emergency grant of $20,000,000 _ or $30,000,000 against its better judgâ€" ment remains to be seen. The German "Bogey" The first case tmed under the Comâ€" bines Envestigation Act resulted last week in the conviction of the United Shoe Machinery Co., as a combine in restraint of trade. This concern is now subject to the penalties ‘ preâ€" scribed in the Act, of ‘ having . its patents cancelled in Canada, and to a fine of $1.000 a day if it does not cease restraining operations within ten days. _ The decision constitutâ€" es a‘complete vindication of â€" the €e#mbines Investigation Act _ passâ€" ed by the Laurter Government in 1910, which bhad toâ€"run the gauntlet of Conservative opposition _ in ~the Commons. The bill was introduced Commons. ‘The bill Wi and piloted through the and piloted through the . House. by. the Hon. W. L. M. King, _ Minister of Labor, and _ representative .. of North Waterloo in the Commons at that time, and the successful manner it has withstood all the legal techâ€" nicalities that the highly paid lawâ€" yers of a powerful corporation could bring to bear is a tribute to : the skill of the man who drew the bill. uid Coimmbines Act Vindicated ADVERTISERS : in pr€ rates reasonable and nown on application. ust be left at than Saturday Casual qua, ‘These easy conditions may appeal | increase to some as very fine and democratic|also be in theory, but in practice they are of a Lib not calculated to hasten the day of| In Ea: governiment that will be truly _ of, |also a f for and by the people As the Act{eral lea stands â€" any person ° may _ nomiâ€"|in his c@ nate himself and thus put the people local Li of the province and the riding to the | the cand expense of an election, without the| an indef remotest chance of suecess, just to Mr. Ro gratify for the time being the vanity | form wi of a â€" manâ€" who the election reâ€" with di turns _ might show a_ dozen| to dech votes to be the measure of the reâ€" ded to spect he enjoyed among his â€"fellows.| disgrunt The local situation _ seems to | possible forcibly illustrate . the desirability of|his beh an early amendment to the Election*|result 1 Act in this regard.

An amendment to the ::::lel s SS MODOad 1 Election Act requiring that a canâ€" didate‘s nomination papet contain ‘the signatures of say twentyâ€"five qualified electors, would, we believe, meet the situation and tend to keep out of thel field candidates whose one excuse for a qualification is their personal vanâ€"‘ ity. As the coming member for North Waterloo _ in the Legislature, North Waterloo electors will look to Mr: Mills to secure a needed amendâ€" ment to the Election Act. ‘ At the meeting of the Berlin City Council this week attention . was drawn by the Park Board Chairman to the mutiiation of trees by Light Commission linemen and others who remove branches indiscriminately that may be interfering with theit lines. ‘At the same time the services of the Park Board were offered in order that the work might be systematically done in future. ‘The proposal, . howâ€" ever, was turned down and the Light Commission given authority to trim trees as necessity might from time to time require. It is well that the eare of shade trees should be placed in the hands of men who will take an intelligent interest in the preserâ€" vation of their natural beauty, and this interest is hardly to be looked for in Light Commission linemen. We recognize that special cases may arise where public saiety may require imâ€" mediate action by Light Commission employees, but this does not justify embarking on a policy involving the general and indiscriminate mutilation |\ af the beautiful shade trees. of Berlin carefully â€" nursed _ to their present splendid maturity by a previous genâ€" eration. r Needs Amendm ent Tree Mutilation City yers, who are given | paign set out, maintain,| We ¢ * trees on any . of "2‘:" withim }M said mari The Comtmissioners | front + the â€" Council for | the t The victory ol the Governmen# eanâ€" didates in the byeâ€"elections in North Waterloo ahd ° East Middlesex . on Monday was in both instanses to" have been expected.
