THE POLITICAL OUT
LOOK FOR CANADA

OTTAWA, Canada, Aug. 24.-The
French Canadian is the unsolved rid
die of the Dominions.
To the British colonist the attitude
of tn. Fsanch-Canadian during the
war has been insxplicable. The mass
of the French Canadians are opposed
to CONSUMPTION. So bitterly are they
opposed to it that threats of armed
and organized resistance have been
freely made by street speakers in
Montreal.
The Nationalists element in French
Canadian politics, led by Henri Bour-
assa, the brilliant publicist and editor
Of LIE Devoir. a Montreal daily, not
only oppose conscription but frankly
advocate policy of the withdrawal
of Canada from continued active pre-
force. They dream of day when
a French republic will arise on the
shores of the st. Lawrence, within
whose borders the civilization and
ideals of the French Canadians may
be logically developed.
The French Canadian has had no
active connection with France for
over $50 years. He points out that
his association with the mother coun-
try then is about as close as the con-
nection between New England and
Great Britain. When France broke
with the Vatican the republic shat
tered its last live connection with the
strongly Catholic inhabitants of
Quebec. Likewise he has no bo,d
relationship with Great Britain. The
call of motherland, that brought
thousands of boys with British blood
in their veins, thrilling to the re-
cruiting stands, left him cold.
He is primarily Canadian of Que.
bee. His interests are first with his
province. Living intensively he does
not recognize or acknowledge the
propriety of any demand upon his
personal participation in the conflict
Canada" said Bourassi, "has al
ready made a military display in men
and money proportionately superior
to that of any nation engaged in the
war"
An increase in our war expense
will spell national bankruptcy and
threaten the economic life of the ma
ton and eventually it's independence
Conscription means strife and dissen-
sion in Canada. 1t will hurt the cause
of the allies to greater extent than
it will help.
"If the United States does as much
az Canada has done in proportion
to our wealth and population, they
will have to raise an army of 6,00O,-
900 men,"
The French Canadian points out
that the British colonist is not en-
listing as a Canadian, but as Brit
isher. The French Canadian regards
himself as the only simon pure Cana
dian.
"Conscription,' declared Baurassa
recently, may mean a second Mexico
north of the 45th and 49th parallels"

ADVANTAGES OF THE sILO.

Saves more of the crop than can
be saved any other way. In some in
stances the saving amounts to so
per cent.
One-third greater return can be
secured from the land when the crop
is put in the silo than when it is
cured in the ordinary way.
Surplus in years of abundance can
be carried over to years Of scar-
city. Good silage will keep for years.
More livestock can be kept with
silage than without it.
The value Of straw and hay is
greatly increased by feeding it with
silage. Straw is worth several dol
lars ton more when fed with sill
age.
Preserves green feed in juicy pal
atable form.
Provides substitute for pasture in
winter.
Can store lots Of feed in small
place.
Silage is convenient to feed.
Silage increases the milk flow.
Silage improves the quality Of fat
stock.
Silagc reduces the cost Of produc-
tion Of both meat and milk.

THOSE EXEMPTION BUTTONS.

New York Yorld.
A certain state of sentiment may
dictate that small bronze buttons be.
given to registered men who may be

that they are exempt" But how is
the fraudulent use of such buttons to
be prevented where slackers may Sc
cure possession of them? There will
also be hundreds of thousands of reg

because they will not be called at
this time. They will be subjected tn
kind of discrimination not altogeth-

6S7 900 drafted men next month are
looked upon by the war department as

"These mosquitoes" said an Ameri-

shoot an American soldier full of ma
laria as readily as the kaiser would
shoot him full of lead.
Zone is just about as bad as the
other"
Experience proves that the mo-

kaiser scatters peace proposals. the
