two billion dollars. and TO expand for
eien trade by more than one billion
dollars. was certainly beyond the cal
culation OF the most sanguine believer
in Canadian resourceCulness.
In the first year of the war bond
issue OF even S50.000,000 would have
been regarded as an impossibility.
With the aid of American investors u
loan of 500. 100000 was actually
fnatcd in 1915, and another Of similar
amount was tloated year later. In
March, 1917. before the United States
entered the war. and when it still ap-
peared possible she would not do so. 4
third war loan totalling S150.000,000
was determined upon. Zach Of these
loans was issued below par and with
interest at ) per cent. Now most
financial observers saw that Il DECLARE
ton OF war by the United States would
mean loans and heavy taxation and
undoubted curtailment Of the market
here for foreign securities. Exactly
that happened. and yet in November,
1917. the Canadian people subscribed
for S41S, 000 900 Of the>Eictory Loan is
sued at 100. Meanwhile loans total
ling more than $1sS,oO0,OOO had been
made from Great Britain and the
United States. and War Savings Ger
titicates TO the amount Of $12,000.000
had been disposed of. In other words
the patriotic fervor of Canada was
equal to an aggravated demand. and
without thinking of it in that way. her
people suddenly discovered them
selves financially competent

is no small matter. but that IS per
cent. Of its Indebtedness represents
the savings of men and women who
believe in Canada's ability to pay it,.
in the case Of country that hesitated
at a $4,000 600 loan at the beginning
of the war, is an indication Of reserve
strength that overshadows every liza
bility.

chances Of improved efficiency in gov.
eminent service points out that there
are two tendencies. both powerful. al
though antagonistic to one another,
that have always prevented progress.
One is the disposition TO create boards
and bureaus that act as a check upon
one another and consequently mutu-
ally operate 10 prevent progress; the
other is a tendency toward oSer-ccn-
traliZalion, new services being organ

opment II is possible. as one of the
beneficial and desirable results of the
present war, to emerge with an admin
istratire service freed of the inefIl-
cheney and delay that has for so many
years blocked progress. but it is also
possible TO emerge with a service
which is either overgrown or too high
ly centralized and perhaps little more
efficient than the old regime. The
situation is one that requires careful.
steady progress brought about as the
result Of expert and unselfish work
by men familiar with technique of ad.
ministration. The proposals Of the
commissions which in the past have
worked out plans of efficiency and
economy are not likely to be of much
assistance in this kind OF work. but
the opportunity is rather for men
who. while practically familiar with
governmental operations. are also pos,

A Lie Nailed

The story has been persistently circulated
by few of my enemies to the effect that voted
Governor Cornwcll in the last gubernatorlal
election This story is absolutely false and IS ut
tcrly devoid of any sembance of truth. 1t is
true that I supported Hon. \. A. Lilly for the
nomination but when Judge Robinson was de-
rIarcd the nominee, I rendered my services to
Hon. Joseph Holt Gaines, chairman Of the State
committee on different occasions and this Will
be co1roboratcd by Mr.. Gaines. In the election
in 1916 ! went to the polls and voted an open
Republican ticket and this will be borne out by
1hr election officials in my precinct. had been
assigned to work at Wcstnoreland precinct that
day and was there from early morn until the
polls: closed and worked hard for Judge Robin
son and the Republican ticket and this state
ncnt is borne ont by the fact that Judge Robin
son led the ticket in that precinct.
This canard was started by my political
enemies for the deliberate purpose OF nJurlng
me in my candidacy for the nomination for
United States Senator and [ take this method OF
giving the truth to the public
Very truly yours,

me Sd Division crossed the Moselle
north OF Coblenz, where il has taken up
position along the Rhine in support
OF the troops within the bridgehead.
On this first Sunday were shown the
results Of this policy. While the people
or Coblenz are still somewhat resent
ful IN their attitude, the residents of
the smaller towns evinced none of this
hostility. Dressed in their Sunday
clothes. the Germans attended church
services and appeared surprised to find
among the congregations in some Of
the places a few of the enlisted men.
In the afternoon, the children in the
villages openly fraternized with any
of the soldiers who would permit it,
clambered over the trucks and de-
manded their turn to snuggle into the
seats of the guns in the artillery
parks, and they were unrcproved by
their parents, who smiled their
tolerance. The older among the men
and women, not only made no objection
to billetings, as did many in Coblenz
and Treves, but frequently showed a
desire to make the men feel at homo.
Wherever bands were in action the
people crowded the street corners to

ing to their homes. a situation that did
not exist when the invasion of German
territory began two weeks ago.
