CANADA AFTER A
 YEAR OF WAR

BOSTON. Sept. &c., Earl Harding writes in part in Inc sundny Globe Tho flags. the music tue cheering arc gone in Canada. Hotel dining rooms havo been nearly deserted ny women. and evening clothes for men have almost disappeared. There orc no large social functions Even golf is taken rather sadly. Recruiting tents have been staked out in parks. Poiil- cal leaders orc campaigning up and down for rocruits. The war has be- come personal since i1,00o Canadians have fallen. Canada is Just settling down. grimly determined. to tho sor- ious business of war. Physical stan. dards have been lowered, and O wiie's consent waived.
 The finance exective of one Of Canada's greatest corporations said; 'T have three nephews and one broth CT in it it may be my turn next though several years beyond the ago limit. Wo may an have to go, but if needed we shall be there to the last man and tho last dollar"
 Canada had been financially very sick since 1913. having borrowed be- yond reason. No part of the empire was SO in prepared to meet war cris- is. and none met it more bravely. Cost of living jumped. Enlistment of near | ly I80.o00 reduced supply of labor. A 'bacl, to tho land" movement was in- augurated. Canada had been growing tn the wrong direction; despite in- crease of 34 per cent in population by immigration, rural communities had gained only 17 per cent in 10 years, while the urban Increase had been 62 per cent Land under cultivation had ! decreased from 4.62 to 4.42 acres per capita between 1909 and 1913. The new campaign has brought an in- ! creased acreage in grain alone from ! 20 per cent; this years agricultural production will be 30 per cent to 70 per cent above 1914.
 The government has granted leave Of absence to 10000 enlisted men in camps; they may retain harvest pay and also their soldiers stipend The government had distributed seed grain to the value of more than $S.500.000. besides direct relief of over $2,oO0.0OO.
 The western provinces gave their cities aid in caring for the unemploy- ed. Ontario commission has recom- mended government employment ag- ancies. industrial insurance and voca- tional guidance-a socialistic program that would have shocked Canada two years ago.
 Manitoba is the only province that enacted a general moratorium. Others left it to the courts to determine as .o whether foreclosures should be per nitted. There is complaint in Mani oba that the moratorium is working harm, and agitation for its abolish nent Unwritten law in Canada since The war Is that principal shall not be exacted where interest is kept up and the debtor shows reasonable excuse. Building trades have been the hardest hit. In Toronto 10000 dwellings are vacant But business sentiment is now more optimistic than for the past IS months. The impetus from war orders is beginning to be felt.
 Thrift now prevails The consump- ion of spirits fell off s00.0O0 gallons. cigars 4S.0OO0OO and cigarettes 27,. 100000 in tho fiscal year ended on March 81.-(Boston News Bureau.)
