The Natural Pride of Those Who
Take Part in 1t.

To those who have built railroads
through and across the prairies Of
Western Canada, connecting that grea.
empire of grain and cattle, horse and
sheep with the worlds markets in the
east, must be awarded the privilege
of looking upon their work, and its
results with pardonable pride. If they
Renaissance, and tell of the hardships
and the privations, why shouldn't
they? The broad prairies on which
the buffalo roamed and fed, are now
alive with cities, towns and villages
Farms-large and small-on which
machinery has chased the bugahoo Of
laborious work off the farm, and max
ing farm life one of the most pleasant
and prosperous of occupations-are
being cultivated by men of the highest
stamp Of manhood. Many of these
have inherited from their forebears
the physical strength and the high
type of manliness that was theirs in
the days when they hewed their homes
out of the virgin forest, and made
them what may be seen today, beau
tifuI farms in the east. On the whole
the western prairies breed high type
Of manhood, wrest from him faults
and diseases which would be his were
it not for the upbuiIding influence and
character of prairie life.
When the builder Of the western Ca
madam prairie locks upon the result OF
his work, why shouldn't his chest ex-
pand? 1t was probably some of this
feeling of pride that took possession
of Sir Donald Mann, vice president of
the Canadian Northern Railway the
other day in Winnipeg, when he said:
81 am not in the habit Of giving ad-
vice, but have no hesitation of advis-
ing the young men of Canada, every
young man, to get out and get piece
of western Canadas land that now
can be had for the asking and be their
own masters"
ct was So years ago when I first
came to Winnipeg" he said. "At that
time there were less than 100000
people west of Lake Huron in Canada.
and the only bit of railway in opera
ton was between ST. Boniface and EN-
erson-about sixty miles. Today there
are nearly 10000 miles of railway in
actual operation and the population is
over two and a quarter million, won
derful achievement in such a short Pc
Rod you will agree, when you have
contemplated it moment"
"At that time all the flour, meat and
many other supplies for our contracts
were brought from the States. Now
consider what the west is doing to-
day. You have a grain production ex-
ceeding a billion bushels and yet only
a comparatively small area of the till
able land OF the country is occupied
Five years hence you will be more
than doubling that. "-Advertisement

WILSON WANTS QUICK ACTION
President Warns Big Audience at
Kansas City that War May Come
at Any Time.

Kansas City, Feb. 3.-In a voice that
but seldom varied from tone Of deep
solemnity, President Wilaon last night
warned his hearers IN Convention kali
war is a daily possibility and that the
United States must be prepared, if its
government IS expected to maintain
peace, to back its utterances with
force. While the President carefully
avoided any reference to specific for
eign controversies, not one intelligent
listener among the $4,000 that packed
the haI could doubt that in The under
currents of his mind there stood up
strongly the ugly facts that none of
the disputes between the United
States, Germany, England Ut Austria
have thus far been definitely settle
by exchanges of notes.
1t was a heart-to-heart talk by the
President to the people. In forty-fve
minutes the chief executive stated his
position, made his demand for support
and led the audience in singing Amer
lea" to the beat of waving flags. 1t
was not a "pro-preparedness" audi
ence. Neither was it against the pres
ident's program Rather, it was an
open-minded gathering and the presi-
dents words evidently had great eff
feet He might have stirred a consid-
cradle proportion of his hearers to
frenzy by jingoistic speech He care
fully avoided any such demonstration.
The tense solemnity OF the Presi-
dent was the most persistent characis-
tic of the meeting. He thrust his
thumbs into the pockets of his waist
coat, clicked his heels together and
taIked-straightfo simply, con-
vincinglv and without passion, but al
ways solemnly.
81 have come to ask you, the people
of the United States, what is behind
me in this task of keeping our nation
at peace" he said, and it seemed that
the message went home to every man
and woman in the hall. 1.-The force
and the majesty of the United States
is behind me" he said moment later,
'but is that force and majesty ready
to express itself?
ct is necessary that 1 make this in
quiry. 1 do not know how long the
word and the insistence Of the gov
eminent will avail to keep peace"
This was the tenor of the whole adj
dress-perhaps one of the most re-
markable ever delivered by a presi-
dent And the audience, for the most
part, despite its frequent outbursts Of
cheering, received the message in the
solemn spirit in which it was de-
livered.

THEY CAN'T AGREE
Word "IIIegaI" Keeps United
States and Germany Apart
in Lusitania Affair.
BERLIN SAYS CRISIS is NEAR
Won sernstorH and Lansing Seem Un-
able to Get Notwithstanding
Warfare at Stake.

Washington, Feb. 5.-The one word
Illegal as differently Interpreted in
the United States and Germany pro-
trudes from the tentative draft of the
Lusitania agreement, perfected by-Am-
bassador Won Bernstorff and Secretary
Lansing, as the stumbling block which
has caused Berlin to refer to the nego-
uations as having reached a crisis and
Washington to characterize the situa-
ton as grave
Germany's answer, presented to Sec.
rotary Lansing today by Count Won
Bernstorf, proposes instead of an out
and out admission of iIlegality of the
method of submarine warfare used by
the German naval authorities in sink
ing the liner, an acceptance of liability
for the loss of neutral lives, which
Berlin hopes will satisfy the United
States and still not bind Germany to
discontinue the submarine campaign.
Submarine Warfare at Stake
German officials believe that their
previous promise to discontinue sink
ing unresisting merchantmen without
warning brings the submarine cam
paign within the pale of international
1dH anu lndI any INCLUSION OIL JlaI
phase in the Lusitania agreement is
unnecessary and humiliating to the
imperial government
The word Illegal in the draft the
German ambassador transmitted to his
government as meeting all the conten-
lions of the United States is taken to
have been regarded in Berlin as being
susceptible of application not to the
Lusitania case alone, but to the entire
submarine campaign.
What "New Demands7"
This is only the explanation which
officials here can find of the state
n1ent OF Doctor Zimmerman, under
secretary of foreign affairs, that that
the United States suddenly made new
demands which it is impossible for US
to accept"
Secretary Lansing said today that
the position of the United States was
unchanged and the German ambassa-
dor knew of no demands which were
not embodied in the proposal he sent
to Berlin.

Washington. Feb. 3.-Reducing the
