NEWS dispatches yesterday stated that five thousand Canadians had paid the supreme sacrifice for their country. Five thousand of the finest men who ever wore a uniform have gone to their graves, and their friends and acquiantances will know them no more. Can you imagine five thou sand men dying at one time. Five villages the size of Valdez wiped out to a man. Four towns the size of Valdez, Cordova and Seward destroy ed. Had this catastrophe occurred in time of peace the world would have gasped in horror at the loss of life. In war time it excites only a passing i'm terest. The Canadians have given the mother country a heavy toll of her best and youngest blood, and her sac rifice has been heavy one.

THE ECONOMIC SITUATION.


 nomic situation that has been created in the United States-and, in fact, the whole world-by the combination of circumstances of the past two years? The people are feeling the pressure of nigh prices more and more each day. investigation has shown that while there are thousands of tons of food stuffs stored in our warehouses the speculators in control of these neces- sities cannot be forced to disgorge. and in several instances have openly defied the government officials, a5king them what they can do about it?"
 Henry Clews, the banker, discusses this vital question in his weekly newsletter. He believes that it is en- tirely proper for the people to aGitate TOT lower prices, but takes ne "iew hat paternalistic noStrums that are 1eing advanced by politicians Tor re- lief are wholly impracticablc. He points out that while European gov ernments have taken over the food stuffs and are controlling prices 10 certain extent, yet even they have Deen unable to keep prices nCrmai. C" account of shortages in certain fooI staples which are governed by the un- alterable law of supply and demand
 'The real cause of high prices, whether of food or other products, is var. Some twelve million men have turned their energies from production to destruction" says MT. Clews, and many millions more are employed m making destructive munitions instead of tilling the soil and providing the ordinary necessities of life. The rc- sultant scarcity of labor and cOmmCd ities inevitably forces higher wages and higher prices in every direction. In some instances this scarcity has been intensified by short crops, by dc- engagement of transportation, by spec ulation and by huge waste which war induces. No genuine relief can be OK. pected until the war ends or until in- dustry resumes it's normal state"
 Mir. Clews points out that the inn mediate remedy is the energetic stop. Lage of waste in all directions, the iii- creasing of efficiency, and the stimula- tion of the output of necessities.
 "The world is under sentence to consume less and work harder" he adds, such being the economic pen alty for the awful crime and tragedy which devastated Europe. Whether we like it or not the innocent will sui fer with the guilty. Even the far in- land peoples of Asia and Africa will feel the pressure of this upheaval no less than ourselves"
 The American nation has never yet felt the need of rigid economy. Our crops have been so great and our liv- ing so easily made that we have nev- CT felt the pinch of famine as nation. Whether or not we can adjust our selves to conditions before the ulti- mate crisis in affairs remains to be seen, but one thing is certain as day follows night, and that is within the next six months America as a nation will face the first real famine in her history as a nation unless conditions quickly change.

OBJECTED To COINS
ON cuban vOYaGE

Officers and crew of the American
steamship Robert c. Sudden, now in
port, were ordered paid up and dis
charged by United States Commits
Eioner Sullivan Yesterday afternoon.
The crew was shipped in San Fran
cisco in August for a six months
voyage, covering nearly all the ports
in the western hemisphere. The
steamer was loaded, cleared and
ready to sail yesterday afternoon for
Cuba, when the crew and officers re-
newed their claim for a discharge be-
fore Commissioner Sullivan, who,
after failing to make satisfactory
settlement between the master and
crew, ordered them paid up and dis
charged. The crew contended that
Cuba was not within the scope of the
shipping articles, and the commits
sioner decided that this claim was
well founded. The master was will
ing to pay the officers and crew. but
their transportation. back to San
Francisco he was unwilling to stand
for. After the decision most of the
crew signified an intention of signing
new shipping articles, on new scale
of wages.

bringing about his conviction. Ia in
creasing the Jail sentence, Judge
Sheppard said that he wanted to i'm
press upon the defendant the gravity
of the situation, and that the terror
izing of federal witnesses must stop.
The recall of Blackman for addi-
tional sentence was a result of the
killing of Deputy Sheriff Scott at
Belts, Fla, last Saturday, and the
arrest of Colman, manager of the
Belts Naval tSores Company, for the
crime Scott was the chief witness
for the government in the prosecu-
ton of Blackman and his testimony,
slightly duplicating Colman, really
resulted in the conviction of Black
man.
J. w. Merchant, convicted of vio-
lating the Mann white slave act and
sentenced to serve six months, vas
arraigned and sentenced by Judge
Sheppard to Is months in the Atlanta
penitentiary. The reason for increase
in this sentence was similar to that
in the Blackman case, as Judge Shep-
pard said that the court had been adj
vised that during the trial of Mer-
chant, the negro chauffeur, Harris
field, who ider.s led the woman in
the case and helped to forge the chain
of evidence around Merchant. had
been intinidated by the defendant
and that he had to be given safe CON
duct from the city.
