FROM the wall street journal.
Canadian foreign trade for 10 month"; OF
1917 approaches $4,000, oO, Goa per capita
of 1880. OF but recent development, the
volume Of commerce for the whole year
will doubtless nearly equal In dollar value
u own foreign trade for 1900. when we
had 9I,00,0o,0W people. With but one
thirteenth our man power, Canadian ex-
ports and imports will exceed one-fifth
Of our own.
1t may be said low cost production and
high prices of farm exports and manufac-
tured food and shipments Of military sup
plies have made this possible. But in
reckoning these factors the adverse cir
cu!nstances In which Canada had oppor-
tuElty TO lay the foundation for future
international trade must be given due con-
sideration.
In the summer Of 1914 Canada was tenta-
tlNcly surveying the means OF recovery
from continent wide liquidation. In the
west and also in the cast a prolonged real
estate boom had collapsed. coincident and
correlative with a severe contraction Of
commercial credit and radical readjust-
ment of domestic trade in volume and
method. 1t was n moot question whether
real business revival would manifest itself
in the autumn of 1914 or the following
spring. Credit was In its most sensitive
stage Of convalescence, when the declara-
ton of war came as q clap of thunder
from "a cloudless summer sky, and 100, 900
industrial effectives went voluntarily to
the colors. The supply, of labor was never
adequate to pioneer constructions; never
theless, over 100000 men went into serv-
ice voluntarily from all classes and from
the most productive occupations.
At least $500. $780, 900 Of war bonds have
been purchased by Canadians. The min
listers of the crown were justified In the
implicit confidence which they placed in
the Canadian instinct of thrift. There are
racial and political differences in Canada.
but thrift in common homely household
terms, is a Dominion wide virtue, charac-
terisIlc OF the passive and the ~inaggres-
sive, as well as of the industrious and
ambitious. There is in Canada thrift q
saving grace, an indistirguishable attri-
butte of the Scotch Presbyterian Ontariap
and French Canadian habitant.

humiliation behind The cruel bars Of the
local bastile, and far from recognising q
loyal duty of expecting his return to the
c%onjugal abode, his wife appeared before
the court, represented the money to be
hers alone, and claimed she had been bull
dozed into giving It up by threats and
fear Of the majesty Of the law represented

Summarily the unfortunate captive was

From tho Springfield

rom mo
On January S it was briefly reported
from Tientsfn that pneumonia was giving
concern in Mongolia and northern China.
To those who recalled the beginning OF
the last epidemic Of the plague this bit
of news had a sinister look. To be sure
this is the season when pneumonia Is rife,
but it could not be overlooked that il was
in just that region that the plague a
decade ago took its start In a peculiar
form, the symptoms Of which were some
what similar TO those OF pneumonia. These
forebodings, expressed by the Republican
at the time, proved to be only too Well
founded. No details are yet available.
because three doctors, two of them Ameri-
cans. who undertook to investigate the
progress OF the epidemic in Shans prov
ince were turned back by q mob, and have
had to appeal to the legations for aid.
But It Is admitted that the disease Is
plague In its ultavirulent pneumonia
form, and the diplomatic representations
Of the powers have asked the Chinese
government TO appoint a military con-
troller to check If possible the spread Of
the epidemic.
How serious this news is for the world
need hardly be pointed out. When the
plague set out on Its last Journey the
highest point of economic power n SAM
tary efficiency ever attained, yet 1t was
only by strenuous and sustained interna-
tional efforts that the disease was kept

anxiety. 1t cannot be said that the pres
ent conditions are so favorable. Much
more than half the world is at war. and
war and plague have always marched to-
gether through history. In Siberia and
Russia something very like anarchy ex-
lists; If the pest hould get into Europe
by that route 1t Is impossible to measure
the disaster that might result. Wherever
the standards Of living AVE been lowered
and the peoples power of resistance re-
duced, ar opening is given to disease
which not even the discipline of war time
might be able to keep closed.
On the other hand, the meticu1ous regu-
lation of shipping which the war has
brought about should help materially to
prevent the spread of the plague by sea.
Some precautions for that matter are
the disease. which has not absolutely died
out in all South American ports. Ships
from such ports are required to mount
rat shields on their cables, and the war
on rats which was waged in San Fran
cisco, New Orleans. San J2an and other
cities presumably has left some lasting
effect. But this icy outbreak will have
to be watched very carefully. To stamp
IT out in China Is probably impossible. but
it may be kept from spreading. Such a
plague moves rather slowly and may a *

This War and the Next.
). 9. W. Gardiner, in the Worlds Work..

German leaders are indulging in much senseless pratting about
ultimate victory. But all this comes only from the lips, and is intended
solely to blind the noncombatant elements of the population. In their
hearts, these leaders know that the victory about which they babble is
impossible in this far. Germany cannot win, and the leaders know it.
Therefore, we have seen all the force of the German propaganda here
as in Europe exerted toward peace. Not yet beaten but fearing that
she must be if the war continues to its logical conclusion, Germany
wants peace while the situation is such that she can recover from the
war more readily than her enemies. Then, when the next war comes,
which Germany will provoke when she is ready for it, the victory
which has now been deferred will be attained. This situation exists
because the German leaders feel that there is still hope of bringing
about the desired end. On the map she is victorious; her enemies are
war weary and stale; they long for the day of peace to dawn when
nations may escape from the all absorbing, all consuming business of
war and return to their normal life. This is all true. And Germany,
realizing its truth, is using every means to advance the day of peace,
SO that she may avert the pending crash. This will continue as long
as hope OF such an adjustment of the worlds troubles exists. But
when this hope dies, when the victories of the entente have been SC
fruitful that it is impossible even to hope, resistance will cease.
