What Canada Has Done.

Philadelphia Public Ledger: From a
population of 100000, 100000 men
had been sent to the war, while work
in the fields and factories went on
without a break. That Is a stupendous
achievement. Three weeks after the
declaration of hostilities O. force Of
$4,000 had been modified and equip
ped, and three weeks later 1t had
sailed. Canadian hospitals OF magni-
tude were organized at home and
abroad, and enormous private contri-
buttons were made to relief funds of
every description. Parliament last
year voted $3.50, 100000 for the upkeep
of the army, and at the present ses-
sion has appropriated $500,Oo0,OOO
more
Nor has the giving ended with lives
and fortunes. Each province has con-
tributed from the stores of its char
acteristic products. We find 100000
bags of flour given by the Dominion
government itself, 100000 bushels of
oats sent from Alberta, 100000 bags
from Ontario, 100000 pounds Of
cheese from Quebec, cheese, hay and
oats from little Prince Edward Island,
-four and horses from Saskatchewan,
100000 bushels of potatoes from New
Brunswick, $4,000 bags of -four from
Manitoba, canned Ash from British
Columbia. The manufacturers who can
make anything disable in VARIETIES or
foodstuffs, clothing or blankets or
shoes-are doing their part with
might and main and flaming patri-
otism.
Canada has played a part in the
great struggle which points to US the
path of duty and Of glory, and II we
reach the level Of her response and
her sacrifice the outcome Of the war is
in doubt no longer.

Washington, May 1s.--Predictions of
q social upheaval unless the rising
prices of food are checked were made
today by George w. Anderson, United
States attorney at Boston, and special
assistant to Attorney General Gregory
in coordination with food investiga-
tons before the house agriculture
committee in connection with the adj
ministration food control bill. Mr.. An
derson with great emphasis made this
statement:
That social and political upheavaI
is threatened cannot be denied or dis
regarded Any one with his ears open
will bear me out. There will be a
phenomenon in America inconsistent
with law and order unless there is
something done to prevent it."
Mr.. Anderson said the government
should be empowered to break up
corners in potatoes, eggs, onions and
other markets by seizing and market
ing products held by hoarders or I'm
fair traders. Mr. Anderson said he and
his assistants had found it utterly i'm
possible to learn what food supplies
were held in storage in New York,
Chicago, Boston, Duluth and other
cities until witnesses were brought be-
fore the grand jury and examined.
