THE BLAME AT HALIFAX.

After what must be looked upon as e thorough consideration of the facts surrounding the collision of the French munition ship Mont Blanc and the Belgian relief ship imo in Halifax harbor resulting in the destruction of 6 large part of that city, the killing of many hundred people and the in- turing of thousands of others, the com mittee of investigation has decided that the blame rests upon Pilot Mc- Kay who was taking the intuition ship into the harbor and the commander of the ship, Capt Lamodec, because they violated the rules of the road, failed to take the proper precautions to as- sure safety to their ship and to the community and in facr were navigat- Ing their vessel with less care than an ordinary freight carrier should have observed.

TRYING OUT THE AMERICANS.

From the manner in which the Ger mans have persisted in searching out the point along the western front where the American forces are To- cated, it is evident that they have been endeavoring to find out what sort of opponents they have brought into the war against them from the vest ern hemisphere and to frighten them if possible before they have an op- portunity to get hardened to trench life and war activities.
 There can be no question but what they have succeeded in finding the American soldiers and in giving them several baptisms Of fire, but 1t must be evident to the leaders and soldiers who participated therein that they did not succeed in soaring the men under General Pershing. Not only did they return as good as they received but the American troops inflicted much more damage upon the German de- lenses than the Germans did upon the American line in France. and though it may not be known to the aggres- sors the American gunners won high praise from a French observer for the accuracy of their fire with the big guns.
 This makes it quite evident that the Yankee troops are there for busi- ness that they know something about the game and that they are now to be looked upon as a powerful military unit in connection with the war. Ger. many will yet have chance to re. consider the contempt in which it ha, held the part which this country vii play in the war even as it did regard ing Great Britain.

Confidence in Peasants of France.

George Cienenceau, the DrAn1ier.
 told little story to the chamber in
 Paris the other day to Illustrate his
 own confidence in the peasants of
 France. He had just told the house
 urgent need of some thousands of men
 to do certain work just behind the first
 lines. he would have to cali out men of the classes 1890 and 1891, that is
 men of 46 and 47. who had been re- leased from military service to work on the land. They would be needed for January and February, when their work at home was of less importance. Brought up in the midst of peas- ants," he said, T know their deEo- ton, courage and great souls. I have
 seen peasants in my native Vendee who have had four sons killed, a ffth made prisoner and a sixth still at the 1 front. One of them came to me, with tears in his eyes and said:
 Monsieur, is it all going to end weIl?' And when said that I was sure
 it would, lie said: Then I will give 1 everything
 Tt would be an insult to such peas ants,'' continued M. Ciemencear, "to
 suppose that they would hagSle over the six or seven weeks work that we demand"
 1 The number of men wanted is un. derstood to be 2oo, ,610 and their werk is generally thought to be preparing | defenses against the expected gr4t German offensive in the spring.
