Six others are to be stationed at

a great number of patrolmen and de-

will be given thorough protection.

KULTUR, SLAVE DRIVER

The world has failed to grasp the
true magnitude of the German "slave
driving" policy as applied first IN
Belgium and more recently in Rou-
mania. There are evidences, as Ger
many's human resources run shorter
and shorter, of a grim purpose in
Berlin to overrun on the slightest
pretext or on no pretext the remain
ing small nations of Europe and
press their men into service for the
preservation of Kultur.
Five German army corps menace
the Dutch border. The Danes are
similarly overawed. Both govern
ments are assailed by Prussian true
ulency in diplomacy and on the high
seas. Even the great natural fort
ress, Switzerland, has not escaped
the threat of a demonstration in
force. Recent developments indicate
that the growing apprehension
among the little nations is not to be
dismissed as resulting from nerves
grown "jumpy" from long and agon-
lied watchful waiting.
Norway and Sweden are fortunate
in lying beyond the Baltic.

FROM DEVIL TO BARON

The knighting of Sir Hugh Gra-
ham, proprietor Of the Montreal Star,
is another example of the essential
democracy of the British empire.
Hugh Graham at the age Of fifteen
was an Office boy on the Montreal
Daily Telegraph. Two years later
he was managing editor and at the
age Of nineteen he had acquired a
half interest in the Montreal Star, at
twenty-one gaining complete control.
Then he became the Northcliffe Of
Canada, acquiring several newspa-
pers and becoming a political power
in that country. He was identified
with all the patriotic and social well
fare movements of his native land,
being director of most of the ma
tional charities of the country. Re-
Gently the University of Glasgow
gave him the degree Of doctor of
laws, and this final recognition of
his character and. ability at the
hands Of the King is unique for the
reason that it is the first time that
any newspaper man of the overseas
possessions has been created baron.
Our compliments to Sir Hugh
Graham, ex-office boy.
