No power has such possibilities of
millions of soldiers as Russia. The peace
army of Russia is 1884, 900 men and its
war army 100000, but if Russia turned
out as many men in proportion to popu-
lation as Bulgaria and Servia turned out
in the Balkan war she would have a
force of 100000 soldiers. Such an
army, doubtless, no man will ever CON-
mand, but numbers, overwhelming and
terrible, are Russia's strong suit-al-
most her ideal.-Joseph Edgar Chamb-
erlin in Everybodys Magazine for Sept

DOLLAR WHEAT.

Agaiu wheat has come to the dollar
mank, after a vacation of couple of
years While the war Is more directly
responsible for the rise during the last
few weeks, yet wheat would have come
up at least to some extent anyway.
While the United States as whole has
bumper crop yet other wheat export
ing and importing countries are short.
So Ear as the effect of the war on our
wheat exports is concerned it will not
have mnch influence. AS long rs Eng.
land keeps the German feet bottled up,
the nations that buy our wheat will all
be aole to import without danger of loss,
except Germany. England, France and
Spain and all the Mediterranean coun-
tries will be open markets much as
usual.
On the other hand the Russian export
will be hampered by the closing of the
Black sea by Turkey which has the key
to the Dardenelles.
So the rise of the price of wheat is
legitimate and would have occurred to
some extent at least If there bad been no
war.
There is however, an element of the
war that be taken into consideration for
the future prices of bread stuffs. Many
millions of producers are now in the
armies. They will undoubtedly be held
IN war long enough at least to prevent
them from returning to the fields for the
next years crop, while many indeed will
never return. This drain on the pro.
ducers must necessarily tell heavily on
several years output of European crops
as we'll as IN all other branches of in.

GOD, HOME AND NATIVE LAND.

just now there are many sorrowing
hearts over in Canada because near and
dear realtives have enlisted to go to war.
While these enlistments do not directly
concern US on this side of the line, yet in
this county of Pembina and adjacent
country, there are many Canadians,
either Canadian born or descended from
Canadian parents, who have relatives
cvet there and who are closely connect
ed with ties of blood and friendship with
some of those who are about going across
the ocean to fight the battle of their
country-and who may never return.
When a member of ones family starts
to 60 GU long journey to remain away
perhaps for months and years, the part
ings and good byes are full of pathos
and wet with bitter tears. But those
partings are made in the light of almost
certain return and happy home coming
in the future. Only the ordinary risks
to life and pleasure are expected, and
these are felt to be so slight that they
are hardly taken into actual consider
alton.
Bnt when the mother and father lind

the son to scenes of carnage, to send him
out to brave the storm of leaden hail,
knowing that chances of life and death
are nearly equal, realizing that the part.
ing may be forever, then indeed the hu-
human hearts melt down in the extreme
bitterness Of helpless grief, in sorrow
robbed of hope.
How they can do it, these mothers,
wives and sweethearts, how they can bid
these loved ones to go, though they go as
comrades OF death, it is hard to know.
But thore is one compensation for these
bitter tears. Strange as it may be, our
supreme love is not for the sons, hus-
bands and fathers. In this world the
greatest love is not that of the family,
but love Of country. The greatest in
centives for human action are s.God,
home and native land" and of these
three, native land is >the greateat. All
three Of these however, are in many
senses but one and may be defined a. is
the "Holy Trinity, tone in three and
three in one" Because the homo land

PROGRESS OF THE WAR.

Fighting all along the line has been 60
ing on since last Saturday, the heaviest
being on the first three days. The Ger
man army in a battle line Of over two
hundred miles advanced to the French
frontier and along the southern line be.
tween Alsace- Lorraine and France oc-
cupied from 80 to so miles of French
territory.
This means that the French have
been driven back more than that dis
tance out of positions occupied by them
ten days ago in Alsace. On the north
the Germans do not seem to have made
much progress though they have ad-
vanced somewhat.
The strongly fortified city of Namur
in Belginm is reported as taken by the
Germans, though latter kilograms make
it perhaps doubtful.
The British troops, though it is not so
definitely stated, are by inference along
the northern border of France towards
the sea coast and the report from there is
that they held their ground.
Thus in this first collision Germany
has gained distinct advantage over the
allies, but at what cost to both armies
as yet is only surmise of what is proba.
BILE.
AS we write on Wednesday night the
armies appear to have gotten at it again,
the fighting point being at Charleroi,
which is reported in previous fighting to
have changed hands six times.
So far, while the Germans have been
the victors the battle does not appear to
be decisive in thai it is not overwhelm-
Ing, and leaves the allies still IN good
fighting condition with strong defences
on which they have fallen back.
How long the German army can con-
tinue gaining such victories as those
they have SO far been getting is a mill
tary question. Ifas itappears the Kais-
er intended to make quick crushing
blow on the allied armies he has SO far
failed, the fighting that he has had
to do all along the route has necessarily
been very costly. That an army SO we'll
equipped and so powerful in numbers
with SO fine class of soldiers has been
more than three weeks in getting to the
French frontier tells the story Of the
probable cost in blood.
Meantime great. black cloud is ris.
ing upin his rear. The hordes of Russis
have crossed into east Prussia and &C
cording TO reports now occupy most ol
that German province.

Summer Constipation DANGEROUS.
Constipation in summer time Is more
dangerous than in the fall, winter or
spring. The food you eat is often con.
taminated and ls more likely to ferment
in your stomach. Then you are apt to

weather, thus injuring your stomach.
