cANADA's LOSSES.

Ottawa, June 26.-Approximately TO-
600 names have appeared in the casualty
lists issued by the militia department
since the Germans made their first at.
tack on the Ypres salient on June 2nd.
AS approximately $1,000 casualties have
previously been reported this means that
in number the casualties equal the first
Canadian contingent which sailed from
Quebec in the latter part OF October
1914.
It is likely the lists will continue to be
heavy for a few days yet and that before
all the names of those who suffered in
the recent German offensive and the
successful Canadian counter attack are
in they will exceed 1900.
It is also expected that so long as the
Canadians hold the Ypres salient under
ordinary conditions of trench warfare
the casualties will run from 100 to 200
per day.

CHURCH UNIONS.

The recent vote of the Canadian Pres.
byterian Assembly by two thirds ma.
jority to unite in union with the Congre.
gational and Methodist bodies Of the
Dominion, who had previously also vot.
ed for church union. is an epoch in the
progress Of Christianity. II,
One hundred years ago such union
would have not only been impossible but
any proposal would have been rejected
with scorn and contimely. Doctrinsl
differences were then absolutely ihcom.

But now with but little changes in
fundamental ideas these brethren have
found it comparatively easy to unite on
Q common basis of brotherly love.
Christianity is not only progressing

ance and freedom Of opinion il rapidly
taking the place of the former hatred

The greatest wars, the most horrible
of prosecutions in history have been
prosecuted in the holy name of. Christ.
Whether the union Of these churches
or similar union of churches on this
side of the line is the best thing socially
and economically may yet be openFto
argument, but not from purely doctrin-
al point Of view. Belonging to a church
may or may not be an evidence Of real
Christian. Sometimes 1t just means hy-
pocrisy. But the world has long ago
arrived to the opinion that the patti.
cular church to which man belongs
has very little if anything to do with his
real character as man or as Christian.

THE PROGRESS OF THE WAR.

There has been very little war news
of special Importance this week, if any.
thing notable lack. It may be signif-
cant of that long-expected drive. AT
Verdun there has been. some fighting
but not as intense as in some past weeks.
The Russian drive westward has slack.
ened partly from strong counter attacks
by the Austrlans who appear to have
had German reinforcements. Petrograd
claims that the Russians are still ad-
vancing. The Russians claim that up to
time in this advance that they have
captured 200, 900 prisoners.
The Italians claim that they have re-
trieved their late losses and are again on
the offensive.
There is heavy artillery duels going on
between the British and Germans near
Ypres, which may be presage to big
assault.
Our own troubles with Mexico are
rapidly coming to head. The forty.
eight hours allowed for an answer by
President Wilson from Carranza expires
about the time this paper goes to press.
Few people believe that the answer will
avert hostilities. Meantime both sides
are hurrying up troops to the frontier.
The militia Of every state are all on the
move either to the state rendezvous or to
the Mexican frontier. It is probable
that Gen. Funston will have at least
10000 miltiamen along the border with
in the next ten or fifteen days. At this
writing the North Dakota regiment at
Bismarck are expecting to leave for the
south within the next forty eight hours.
The later details of the attack on the
10th colored regiment show that as ex-
pected it was deliberate trap on the
part of the Carranza soldiers, with over
whelming forces they attacked the
eighty.fou troopers and it is remarkable
that any American escaped.
Later-Yesterdsy mornings dispatches
say that Carranza has ordered the
twenty three prisoners captured at
Carszal to be returned to the U. s with
their arms. This will probably lessen
tho immediate tension but will not settle
the question of the loss Of lives and the
treacherous attack. There will there.
fofs be no slackenlng in the preparation
for wsr.

EXPOSING TARIFF MISTAKES.

DR.. E. E. Pratt, chief Of the Bureau
Of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, has
unwittingly exposed ono Of the tstal de.
fects~in the Underwood tariff law. II
can never be used as bargaining tariff,
the importance of which DE-. Pratt
acknowledged IN his recent address be.
fore the Boston convention of whole.
salers, when he said:
Zone of the fundamental ideas in the
tariff board as proposed in the present
Congress is to gather such intornaation
and to furnish such data for the oonclu.
ding of treaties between this and other
countries that we will receive tariff con.
cessions in other countries in return fol
similar concessions that We ourselves
may be willing to make. This part Of
the new Tariff Commissions duties will
make it possible for the United States
to bargain actively for foreign trade aad
to say to this or that country in Latin
America: If you will give US conces.
sion On canned goods or on breakfast
foods or on automobiles, we, on the othe,
hand, will admit some of your products
at a rate lower than the usual standard
rate"
In our trade relations with Latin
America the Democratic tariff law is
especially defective, for the products Of
those countries are nearly all on the free
list, and there is, therefore, no opportu.
nifty for bargaining. There can be No
greater concession than that. Mr.. Un-
derwood, Mr.. Simmons, and other Demo
Gratis who had hand in the Democratic
tariff abomination. took particular pains
to inform the public that the rates
carried in the bill we're revenue rates
only; that there was not line of pro.
lection in the bill. Now, if rate is laid
for revenue only, on particular article,
how can we bargain with country by
making the rate still lower or abolishine
it altogether? This would mean nothing
more nor less than robbing the National
Treasury of needed revenue.
A protective tariff law would present
an altogether different situation, The
reciprocity agreement with Cuba was
reached while the Dingley law was in
force. 1t permitted certain articles of
merchandise produced in the United
States to enter Cuba at rates from TWEEN.
ty to forty per cent less than the pre-.
scrlbed Cuban rate, and in return Cuba
got twenty per cent preferential rate
in the United States on her sugar. But
reciprocity agreements, at best, are
fraught with danger. The simplest
solution Of the matter is to accord ample
protection ut home and let our manu-.
facturers 60 after the foreign markets on
the basis of full mill capacity and low
unit cost. It is as difficult to agree upon
q universally acceptable reciprocity
treaty as it is to agree upon universally
acceptable tariff law. Protection we
must have, speedily; reciprocity treaties
can be dealt with as occasions demand.

got the worst oft. The Uaitsd Sestes

ing that Wills should try this and Wills
did by numbering . lot Of citizens and

and Villa had the same object. They
wanted war with the United States.

Csrranza because he cav that was tho
easiest way to unite tho Mexican people
to and under his government. something
that he could not do by fighting with biz
own countrymen who were mostly gat
heled into many bands Of independent
bandits.
Thereiis little doubt. that part Of both
Villa and Carranza's plans will come
true. The Mexicaas will unite in one
body and it is not improbable that Wills
may be the commander in chief in the
/ field. ~
But while these bandits have been
fighting they are not fighters. They
have almost no real military discipline
They have comparatively few arms
They:have almost no heavy artillery and
not very much OF the lighter guns.
They have no money. At this moment
a large part Of the population are report.

What will happen when our men gel
into shape for real expedition IN Mexi
co may be easily figured. 4.
There is not the sllghtes doubt OF the
final result, in q military sense. All
therefore that Carranza can possibly get
out Of the "war" will be little brie
authority-and then 60 to Europe and
spend the rest Of his l,te as so many d
his predecessors have done before him
But We will then at least have q some
what united Mexico to deal with. Anl
even though they may be embittred
against US we can deal with them fel
better than at present when they ART
scattered into dlsunited and warrinl
bands.
Possibly when we once get them to
sether, even though it may take som.
lighting to lick them into shape, W
then may be able to put some sense int
their heads though it may take score
Of years to educate them to the fact thai
all We want is for them to get civilisea
and behave themselves-and treat US, Il
neighbors should treat each other.
We will have nojwar with Mexico. We
may have to fight Villa. Carranza and
several dozen other murderers and theil
bandit followers, we my have to fight
superstition, dense ignorance and power
ty, but we have no fight with Mexico
We might arbitrate differences with
Mexico if there were Mexico, but the
law does not arbitrate with muderers or
their abettors.

n CHEDULE for Sunday has been
changed somewhat by somethiue
coming up just at the last moment
This is that the Aoy Juniors have
dropped from the league their team
having broken up. This leaves the
East FL Paso Juniors without a game.
Tut since it is very doubtful about the
Houston Squares showing up, the
Westsiders will be given the game
with the East e. Paso Juniors. to be
played at o'clock, Sunday afternoon,
at Washington park. So the schedule
will be; Myrtle Avenue Stars VS.. Or
cEard Parks at ? o'clock, Sunday after
noon, at Washington park. and Easr
FL Paso Juniors VS.. Westsiders, at the
same time and place
It looks Ike the Westsiders were
going TO end the season with but one
game to their credit. but they certainly
deserve lots Of credit for the sports
manship that they have displayed in all
their games Hardly one has been
played in which the other side did not
have the advantage from the very first
but the Westsiders played on, anyway,
with cheerfulness and courage that de-
served more. Two or three times they
have played with but seven men, and
for q class b" team. but still they kent
at it And they now finish the season
with only a single game won. but with
the knowledge that they played all
their games, and that the victors had
to fight hard for their victories.
A box score is wanted of the game
between the Myrtle Avenue Stars and
the Orchard Parks. Will the manager
of one of the teams see to this?
