THOUGHTS ON EASTER

AVER the whole world today rings
~ the anthem of resurrection. Be
ginning in the far Orient it runs, with
the dawn to the limits the Occident, is
sounded from every church bell up to
heaven like a paean of hope and promise.
The winter is past, and Nature has set
man again the lesson, which since time
began she has spread out before him in
the earth, that book which may be read
bv the unlearned savage as well as
civilized man. There is no death, there
is no effort that sinks into the dim void
and becomes naught, there is no cessa-
ton of soul influence. The summer
comes and its glory passes, the harvest
time of our lives wanes, the fields are
brown and barren, and looking over
them sadly we grieve that all OF our
hopes were not brought to fruition.
When the frosts of age cover our heads
we sometimes say with the great soul
that voiced His agony in a dark hour;
youth is blunder, manhood struggle,
and old age regret. "
Yet we have lived and loved, and that
is within itself boon. From the
graves where were laid our crucified
Joy, our blameless offerings to untoward
destiny, our loved and noble ideals,
shall arise glorifed spirit to guide
others down the rough way to the place
where the "great light shines. No
path of sorrow in the vale of life is vir-
gin to the naked feet of our shrinking
souls. Wherever the water is deepest
and the shadows fall darkest. there trod
the martyrs of the ages and though they
found the sepulcher at the end of the
journey, being dead, they yet live and
speak with undying utterance.

THE NEW Jersey ELECTION

TT is not an unusual thing for local
1 conditions to enter very largely into
an election, and politicians frequently
attempt to lay great stress on certain
conditions when one of their own politi
cal faith has been beaten, but the over
whelming defeat of the Democratic
candidate for Congress in the Seventh
New Jersey district on Tuesday, was
stinging defeat for the Wilson admins
tration. The verdict of the people of
the seventh district in New Jersey, may
be attributed to their dissatisfaction
with the Presidents un-American Canal
tolls program or the tariff, but one
thing. is true, the returns speak for
themselves, and it is useless for the
President or his admirers to attempt to
deny these facts.
Were it not for the fact that Presi-
dent Wilson made an appeal to the
people of his own State to stand by him
as an expression of their approval Of
his administration, the crushing defeat
would not be of so much significance.
The returns amount to this, the Will
son Administration appeals to a minority
constituency; that there is tendency
toward RECOMMENDATION of the opposi-
ton under the old Republican banner,
and that where candidates are wisely
chosen and the issues are clearly defined
between the policies for which the
Democratic Administration is respon-
sible in national affairs and those for
which the Republican party stands, a
near approach can be made to the nor
NAL party alignment which existed prior
to the Republican schism of 1912.

ferred to the reserve, in which he serves for hf-
teen or fourteen years, undergoing during this
period two trainings Of six weeks each. Having
completed eighteen years in the first line and It's
reserve, he passes into the home defence until
he has completed his forty-third year
Both France and Austria have armies Of almost
equal strength. The former put 100000
men in the field and the latter 1,S95,000. The
liability to service in France exists from the age
of twenty to the age of forty-eight For three
years the men serve in the active army, and then
20 into the reserve for eleven years, after which
they pass into the territorial army for seven
years, finishing up with seven years in the terri
torial reserve.
On the other hand, the liability to military ser
vice in Austria Hungary extends from nineteen
TO forty-two, the going into the various
reserve forces after two years active service
The Belgian army is raised in rather curious
manner, for it is recruited partly by voluntary
enlistment and partly by conscription, the latter
consisting of 49 per cent of the annual contn-
gent. Voluntary enlistment is retained for those
who desire to make the army a profession, the
first engagement being for five years
for those not eighteen and three or five years
for those over that age. Conscrpts serve for
fifteen months in the infantry or two years in
the cavalry after which they are drafted into the
reserve forces

D-HE reason for the great disparity in the
number of Britain's troops and those OF
Germany is, says "Tit-Bits," that whereas
our full fighting strength Of 10000 men, exelu-
sive Of Dominion forces, has been raised by vol
untary service Germany's 100000 men have been
raised by conscription Military service in Ger
many. France and Russia is compulsory, the lia-
bility in Germany commencing at the age of sew
enteen and ending at forty-fve. But active ser
vice really begins at the age of twenty.
The term of service in the active army is seven
years-two years in the ranks and FIVE in the
reserves except in the cavalry and horse artillery
in which the periods three years and four
years, respectively. During the period Of reserve
service, however the soldier is regarded as be-
longing 70 his corps and is obliged to join it twice
in the five or four years for period of training
which is limited by law TO eight weeks. After
five years or four years in the reserve all soldiers
pass into wha. is known as the Landsturm, purely
home defence force in which they remain until
tbev have reached the age Of forty-hve.
Russia, which has a fighting force Of 5'5OOOOO
men. has compulsory system somewhat similar
Co that of Germany, except that 1T extends to
the completion Of the forty-third year instead OF
