‘Bir Robert Rorden, who recently visited Washington, was paturally much questioned as to the part Canada has taken and is taking in the war. One "Btatement of his that caused a great impression was that Canada has already sent 400,000 to Europe, and that on the basis of population this would mean that the Ullila(‘ States, if it tahes the same proportionate part, will send Some interesting figures have been made public by the U. S. Federal *ood Administration on the shipping of that country to the Allies between July 1. 1914. and January 1. 1918: % Wheat and wheat flour. 38$4,000.000 bushels; oats. 212,751,197 bushels; eorn, 24,310.000 bushels. Sugar, 640,000,000 pounds. Fresh beef, 443.484.000 pounds:; pork, in various forms, nearly 2.000.900,â€" 080 pounds. & . Butter, 28.998.89T pounds; cheese. 103.465,426 pounds:; condensed milk. 126,356,679 pounds. The food administration estimates that this food would completely raâ€" tion 57.100,93% people on a wellâ€"balanced diet and provide an additional meai ration for 224194.570. Our exports to Great Britain alone would ration 27. 334.441 people for one year. The foodstuils sent to France would ration about 15.000.000 people. Italy got from us rations for 7,250.000 people. This is a remarkable record. says a Bufalo N.Y., exchange. but it will be surpassed before the war ends. The Allies are depending almost entirely upon the United States and Canada to keep them in foods up to harves: time. There will be a decline then, but the chances are that we shall be at it heavily again noxt year. The probability. however. is that Argentine supâ€" plies will be going to Europe in increasing quantities as we increase the output of ships. The Australian supplies arte practically unavailable because of the great length of time it takes to transfer them. That aiso is true of supplies in India. _A ship could make several trips across the Atlantic in the time she took for one trip to and from Austraiia. The facts show why the people of North America must grow all the foodâ€" stuffs possible and why they must continue to use foodstuifs economically. Our Allies must be carried on until all the surplus food stores in the world are available for easy transports to Europe. No one is asked or expecied to deprive himself of the necessities of life, but everyone maist take care that he does not waste food. © L . The unfortunate shooting of Private Nowak on Sunday afternoon is in an entirely different category. He is an army deserter, attempting to make a getaway after being apprehended and he met with the deserter‘s fate. Forâ€" tunately his wound is not fatal and he will have an opportunity to do his duty later on the firing line. . The narrow escape from death of a Waterioo young man who was purâ€" sued and shot at by two military gunmen on Saturday night calls for an imâ€" mediate and searching investigation by the proper authorities. The round: ing up of deserters from the army ranks and the apprehension of defauiters under the Military Service Act is an important:â€"and necessary part of the work ofâ€"the military police. It is. however, also highly important that men of good judgment and common sense as well as men of daring. be chosen by the military authorities for this work. The men who pursued and shot at the innocent Waterloo man proceeding home in his buggy on Saturday night and then insulted his father, lacked all but the last of the qualifications named. Their action stamps them as unfit for the important work | they hnvej in hand. Their immediate recall hy the divisional he{ldquarl('rs' staff is in order. â€" The shooting of fire arms in the possession of military policemen would indicate that war has been declared on desorters in Military District No. 1. _ _ If the Germans do not start that muchâ€"talkedâ€"of ofensive at an early date. do not be surprised if the Allies commence a hig drive. Foreign Secretary Halfour‘s expression of confidence and trust in Japan‘s continued lovalty to the allied cause should have the effect of setting some n’lly rumors at rest. & We seizure by the allies of one million tons of Dutch shipping that have been lying idle in their ports is justified hboth by international law and the extreme needs of the shipping situation. Some of Canada‘s "Firsts" have arrived at port and are on their way to their homes after three years of warfare. It is not known whether any of Kitchener‘s men are among the number, but if there be any they should get a rousing reception when they reach home. The sentence of Capt. Railey to three months‘ imprisonment while un doubtediy just, is a case in which executive clemency might be exercised Mis experience will likely be sufficient deterrent for other offenders against the reputation of Canada‘s soldiers. Two more eminent American pacifists have recanted. One is Herbert} 8. mfilow of Cincinnati. and the other is Morris Hilquit of New York. both of » them Socialists. Bigelow is now advising the young imen to "join the colors." and Hilquit has declared that the failure of the revolutionary motement ini Russia has convinced him that there remains but one thing to do now â€"to asmash Prussian amilitariem and autocracy by force of arms. The trduble with these radicals. says the Hamilton Herald, is that they lacked the comâ€" ‘ mon sense to perceive what millions of ordinary folks have known all along. We hope it may not be necessary for the United States to raise the nuir ber mentioned by the Canadian preimier, but he may be confident that the reâ€" public will he as resolute as (the Dominion to do whatever may be required of her for the overthrow of the despotism that would dominate the world. Noi one of the Englishâ€"speaking peoples will flinch. They are united now as they «ever were. The breath of democracy has heen breathed into the Angloâ€"Saxot breed and has made it one living sonl for liberty. In their newâ€"found unity of spirit the kindred nations go forward. with France and Italy, also lovers of freedom, marching to the sound of "a trumpet that shall never call retreat," but lead them to the victory by which they "make men free," The new Canaian Parliament got away to a good start notwithstanding the fact that the frills were conspicuous by their absence. Although this is a remarkable showing, it still falls considerably short of the efforts made by Great RBritain ‘Vhe total British forces raised since the beginning of the war are 7.500.004, and of these England has given 4.330,000; Bceotland, 620,000; Wales, 280,000; Ireland, 170,000; and the dominions and colâ€" onies $00,000, with a million natives of India, Africa and other depcrdencies.
