Ugly But Efficient. IDhi1a Io1rhio TnUlljrnr

We must have a hearty respect for the intricate and efficient system that has been created. Militarism in Ger many is an ugly beast. It has over awed the nation. It has subordinated all else to it's ferocity. Peace has been crucified to satiate it's appetite. But, ugly as it is, it is something to be ad- mired for it's amazing efficiency.
 It was this amazing efficiency that the German war lords relied upon to carry them to immediate triumph. When this efficiency, this complete readiness, is given due recognition, the wonder is that it has not accomplished more. It intended to crush. Failing in that, time has been given for Eng land to get itself ready, and, if Lloyd George is to be believed, the shortage in ammunition that has heretofore existed is about to be overcome.
 But if the astonishing German ma chine has not crushed, it has not in turn been crushed, and so the war lin- gers, with no signs of peace in sight. Indeed, how can there be peace that does not first of all hand violated, plundered and murdered Belgium back to the Belgians. with reparation for the horrible crimes committed, in so far as there can be reparation for them

ENGLISH MUNITION \ FACTORIES GROW

 One of the most admirable of hu- man qualities, and one of the most rare, is unaffectedness.
 To be neither eccentric nor dramatic but easy and natural, is to fit sym1net- rically into the scheme of things. An H. O. P. garment is a perfect example of what most of us ought to be-individual, but not offensive en- terprising but not too extreme.
 In all the scores of models embraced in our great Fall and Winter stocks YOU will look in vain for a garment without style.

A Pertinent Question on Sidewalk
 Construction.

To the Editor of the Herald:
 What action can property owners take to compel the city to lay side walks on it's own property? The residents of Sheffield street were ordered to lay a sidewalk. They have done so but the city has neglected to provide walk for the Smith school, with the result that 500 pupils must still continue to wade through mud.

ourselves against wrong, and insurng for the future
