WiIheIm's Many Uses.

Former Kaiser Wilhelm has been
credited with being a sociologist, arch
aeiogist, poet, music composer. stage
manager, yachtsman, and educator. 1t
used to be said of him that he talked
music with Saint-Saens and Massenet,
sculpture with ReinhOid Begas, ship
building with Henry Ballin drama
with Suzanne Desprez and Assyri-
oiogy with Professor Delitzsch. His
familiarity with the laws of music Is
reflected in an address he once gave
at Frankfort, when he admonished the
German singing societies which had
been contestants in competition
against attempting to sing intricate
pieces in place of simple folksongs,
ana pointed out that some of the Choir
uses in singing the test compositions
had forced up the pitch Shy a half,
three-fourths. or even by fiye-fourths
OF a tone" He has been "tireless

No ROOM FOR
PESS|M|SM
Canada as a Nation Builder.

With Canada's great task in the
war before the public, the burdens
that she so willingly took and so ably
carried, and her recent victory in sub
scribing $175,0O0,000 to the 9Th Vic
tory Bond Loan more than she asked,
| he would be a skeptic who would as
sociate the word pessimism with her
present condition. Canada deplores
| the heavy human loss which she has
| suffered, but even those akin to those
lost in battle say with cheerfulness
that while the sacrifice was great, the
cause was wonderful, and accept
their sufferings with grace. 1t may
well be said there is no room in Can
ada today for the pessimist. The ag-
ricultural production of the country
has doubled in four years. S140,O00,-
600 are the railway earnings today
or 31a times what they were ten years
ago, while the bank deposits are now
S1,733 100000 as compared with $133,-
100000 thirty years ago.
There is a wonderful promise for
the future.
1t is with buoyancy that Canada
faces an era of peace. She has tri-
umphed over the soul-testing crisis Of
war. Before the war Canada was a
borrower, and expected to continue SO
for many years. For the past year and
half we have seen her finance herr
self. She has also been furnishing
credits to other nations.
A recent article in the "Boston
Transcript" says:
1.-THE people at home have not been
tagging behind the boys at the front in
courage resourcefulness and efficiency.
The development of Canada's war in
dustry is an industrial romance of
front rank. American Government of
ficials can testify to the efficiency of
the manufacturing plant Canada has
built up in four short years. In De-
partment after Department where they
