LAWYERS AT SEA.
M. M. MU RID o X, EDIT

One of the curious things about Japan Is her
naval lawyers. Upon every warship is a lawyer who
must advise the captain when emergency arises.
The lawyer is expected to know nautical law and
international law as applies % the seas and to
shipping If the lawyer advises the captain to use
his guns that relieves the captain from response
biIty except as to the aim of his weapons. If he
fails to hit the mark then the lawyer cannot be
blamed.
American warships have chapiains and surgeons
aboard their vessels and these officers must act
promptly and upon their own volition in emer
gency There is no appeal except on high from the
spiritual advice of the chaplain and appeal what
ever from the dictum of the surgeon. They must
know their work so well that appeals are unneces-
sary.
But the lawyer is different character and the
law different science There is always appeal from
court and infrequenty the court of last
resort reverses itself, so that no man can be
tain of any point in law
Perhaps the Japanese plan is to educate
of lawyers who shall learn to decide quickly and
right They must give an opinion and stick to it
forever The lawyer who is feed to argue pro to-
day and tomorrow is necessarily an acrobat and
he cannot afford to stick too consistently to todays
arguments lest his tomorrow's client suffers re-
lapse.
The science of law is exact, but the practice is
variable. Could all attorneys spend a few years
aboard ship when their decisions meant life and
death to themselves as well as to all on board they
might acquire the habit of making honest argument
and the bench having walked the deck, might make
digests, which could be depended upon in future
actions

CANADA FEELS HURT.

That Canada will not be reconciled to the Alaskan
boundary decision goes without saying Had Amer
lea lost there would have been endless growing al
though the nation would abided the arbirament
Some idea of the way in which our northern
neghbor will take the blow may be gained from
reading the following editorial in the Toronto Globe
which written before the result was known
under the caption, Judicial or Diplomatic" The
Globe says:
If the arbitrators in the Alaskan boundary case
concede the entire contention of the United States
this country will easily repel the conclusion that
diplomacy factor in the award
Lord Alverstone may have fine judicial mind
1t is questionable if fine judicial mind is in its
element in the determination of an acute interna-
tional issue
If Lord Alverstone could exercise his judicial
mind without regard to any other consideration save
the purely judicial aspect of the Alaskan boundary
question, his decision would not be open to doubt
Perhaps His Lordship has given such a decision
Apprehension is due to the belief prevalent in Brit
fish diplomatic circles that the friendship of the
United States must be maintained at any cost and
that the entire area of disputed territory is not
worth the risk of mpairing that friendship. The
general sentiment of Great Britain shares these
views of Britain's diplomats. The London Times
reflects this sentiment when it speaks of the rrita-
ton which the new British ambassador to Wash
ington would have to face. both in Canada and the
United States, if the Alaskan tribunal broke up
with disagreement In other words it would be
better that Canadas just claims in Alaska should be
sacrificed rather than subject an ambassador at
Washington to irritation arising out of failure to
complacenty give the United States everything they
asked for
The danger is that Lord Alverstone has not been
able to entirely free himself from the contagion Of
this sentiment and that consciously or unconscious
ly he played the diplomat as well as the Judge in
determining the issue at stake in the Alaskan boun-
Diary question. His Lordship might almost be for
given for forgetting that it judicial tribunal
which included such confirmed jngoes as Elihu H.
Root. Senator Turner and Senator Lodge
The United States opposed three diplomats to
Britains three eminent jurists The diplomats went

eminent jurists entered the conference with their
minds open. The three diplomats were firm in their
resolve that not single inch of the territory in
dispute should be handed over TO Canada The
United States could not lose, and it was possible
of the British arbtrators
1t will be matter for regret if Lord Alverstone
has been the determining force in confirming the
contentious of the United States Canada would

THE MOUNT OF GLORY.

Higher, higher Will We climb
Up the mount of glory
That our names may live through tina
In our countrys story;
Happy, when her welfare calls
He who conquers, he who falls.
Deeper, deeper let us toll.
In the minds of knowledge;
Natures wealth and Learning's spoil
Win from school and college;
Delve we there for richer gems
Than the stars Of diadems
Onward, onward may we press
Through the path of duty;
Virtue is true happiness
Excellence true beauty:
Minds are of celestial birth.
Make we then a heaven of earth
Closer, closer let US knit
Hearts and hands together.
Where our fTeside comforts sit
In the widest weather.

For the joys of life from home
