It is a shame to the French-speaking class of Canada that there is such violent opposition in Quebec to the conscription law. Those "pea-soupers" evidently have little of the spirit of their mother country.

SPOKEN WORD
 IS STRONGEST
Four Minute Men Mighty Factors in Winning for World
 Democracy

"Tho pen is mightior than Che sword" but the spoken word is mighticr than either.
 No history of thls world war win be complete unless full chapters are devoted to tho Four Minute Mon.
 You so into @ movie theatre, and between the reels @ man comes up on the stage and talks In a rapid fire of words for four minutes.
 He bows, walks from the stage and the show goes on.
 That man is a direct spokesman for the United States government
 The message ho delivers come straight from Washington, and thc words he uttcra arc words thc ad- mlnistration at the Capital wants the great American public to know.
 He is a small cogwheol in a great machine that turns and moves with the precision Of bank presenting sight draft.
 Throughout the States thousands Of men like him are doing precisely what he is doing.
 Their talks are an inspired, and they get their cues from bulletins issued by the Division of the Four Minute Men Committee on Public Information
 At frequent intervals tho topics upon which they talk are changed. and these changes are uniform from the great Atlantic to thc stnl greater Pacific.
 Thus do the desires the hopes, the aims, thc aspirations, and the accomplishments of the odmiuistra- ton reach every corner Of the land simultaneously.
Douglas Island news., 1918-04-12

It is vital that tho masses Of Che country should know in tabloid what is going on.
 In the newspapers they get the long details.
 The Four Minute men boil Che facts an down and cut columns Co lines.
 The public has no time to read each page in a newspaper, but it never misses tho four minutes in a movie.
 The Four Minute Men arc the news and the editorial pages com bined
 They deal both in news and in principles.
 They appeal to the head the heart and tho hand.
 They preach economy, and toach man, woman and child how each can help.
 With everybody helping, thc day Of peace looms just over the horizon.
 Nothing can conquer a united people whose guiding inspiration is Liberty
Douglas Island news., 1918-04-12

Josh Billings said: "I don't karc how hutch a man talks if he only sez it in a few words"
 That is the inexhorablo rule the Four Minute Men must follow.
 They are told to talk four min utes only. and then stop.
 IT they violate this fixed rule. thcir further services arc not wanted.
 Most men can tell an they know in four minutes, and even then have a little time to tell a few things they don't know.
 The cry of the times is for men who can say something and sit down.
 A tallcr needs terminal facilities as much as a railroad.
 And it seems that the wonderful work being done by the Four Min ute Men is largely due Co this lim- ltauon of language.
 The man who conceived this idea and carried it out should rank in importance with Gen. Porshing Gen Haig. or any other big officer among the Allies.
