KEEN TO RENEW PROGRESS
Discovers Not Merely Gallantry of Her
Soldiers, But Brains, Capacity and
Efficiency of Her Whole
People.
Toronto.—It Is a new Canada that
emerges from the world war—u nation
transformed from that which entered
the conflict in 1914.
More than 50.000 of her sons lie in
soldiers' graves In Europe. Three
times that number have been more or
less Incapacitated by wounds. The
cost of the wnr in money is estimated
to be already $1,100,000,000.
These are not light losses for a coun
try of 8.000,000 people. Fortunately,
there is also a credit side.
Canada has "found herself" in this
war. She has discovered not merely
the gallantry of her soldiers, bnt the
brains and capacity and efficiency of
her whole people. In every branch, in
arms, In industry, in finance, she has
bad to measure her wits against the
world, and in no case has Canada rea
son to be other than gratified.
Of the glory that Is Canada's because
of tfc<» gallantry and endurance and
brain > of her boys at the frout not the
half has yet been told. "The most
formidable fighting force In Europe"
is r.o: a phrase of empty -vords. Char
acteristic of all that has gone before
Is the fact that the last act before the
curtsin was rung down on the drama
of r,var should be the capture of Mons
by the Canadian corps. No Canadian,
whea he heard that It was reserved
to Canadians to retrieve the great
tr*fsdy to the original British army
In August, 1914. but felt his pulse
Jump ami the red blood surge through
his veins.
Be*t Fourth of Hun Army.
These boys who went from Canadian
firesides, who never heard the Jangle
of a sword previous to 1914. in the last
four months have met the flower of
the German army, vaunting warriors
■who had given their lifetime to prep
aration. Divisions totaling one-fourth
of the entire German army were In
thlsj?erlod met in .succession andean

Nor have the people at home been
lagging behind the boys at the front
1 In courage, resourcefulness and effi
ciency. The development of Canada's'
j war Industry Is an Industrial romance
of front rank. American government
officials can testify to the efficiency of
the manufacturing plant Canada has
built up in four short years. In de
partment after department, where they
found American industry failed them,
they were able to turn to Canada. The
full story may be revealed some day.
In finance, Canada before the war
was always a borrower and expected
to be so for many years to come. But
for a year and a half Canada In finance
has been "on her own." More than that,
she has been furnishing large credits
to other nations.
Having triumphed over the soul
testing crises of war, Canada faces an
era of peace with more than confidence
—with buoyancy.
A vast program of reconstruction
and of development awaits. The
I country Is eager to get at It and is
impatient for the government to give
the word. Public works of tremen
dous Importance, silent since 1914, are
awaiting labor soon to be available.
Shipbuilding, railway equipment, steel
production and many other Industries
will, under proper direction, go for
ward with a bound.
Commission Off to Europe.
A Canadian commission under Lloyd
Harris, fresh from Washington, is
headed for Europe for the purpose of
securing orders for Canadian indus
tries for the reconstruction of Europe.
Canada feels she has earned a large
share of that business by the valor and
the loyalty of her people, and she pro
poses to get it.
There is no room in Canada today
for the pessimist. In four years Can
ada has trebled her agricultural pro
duction. In ten years one railway's
earnings rose from $40.tHX),000 to $140.
000,000. In SO years Canada's savings
banks deposits have increased from
§133,000,000 to $1,733,000,000. Like
figures could be quoted lnd^fiSi^ely.

Darky Chef Finds Good Place for
Kitchen.
Hot Beef and Fried Ontene Replace
Marie Antoinette and Louie
XVI Hletory.
With the American Army la the Ar
gonne.—A darky cook from Alabama
is turning out hot bully beef and fried
onions in Varennes in'the ruins of the
Inn where Marie Antoinette and Louis
XVI were captured by French peas
ants in their flight from the revolu
tionists.
The old stone building Itself had
fallen into decay long before this war.
But the Germans had burrowed dug
outs into Its cellars and some sort of
a German headquarters was estab
lished there until the terrific bombard
ment that preceded our greatest of
fensive completely leveled the ruins.
Varennes Itself fell to the Yankees a
few hours later as the Germans re
treated to the ridge of hills, beyond.
For a few (lays American tanks had
their headquarters In the yard mar
rounding the ruins. Then the tanks
moved up and colored laboring detach
ments established headqnarters In
Varennes while they smoothed over
shell holes in the roads. What was
left of one of the walls of the old Inn
struck a colored cook a> a good lean
to against which he could protect his
fire from the wind and In a Jiffy he
had his kitchen going.
Not a single building la Varennes
has a roof. During the first four years
of the war the towtr escaped heavy
shellflre, though It was within ea*y
range of French artillery. But tho
battering fire of our guns on the open
ing morning of the Argonne attack
and the response from German artil
lery after we had captured the town
laid the old church in ruins, flattened
out the modern dwellings along the
river and sent strong buildings'In tfie
center of the town sprawling into de
bris.

Portrait of Capt. Robert A. Bartlett,
an officer In the United States navy,
who plans an airplane flight from
Etah to the North pole to plant the
American flag where his scientific In
struments Indicate the location of the

claim that the boy's license to drive
an auto had been taken from him for
reckless driving only a few days be
fore the mishap, and that a personal |
jppeal by the mother was followed
by the court restoring young Duncan's
license.
