NOTE* AND COMMENTS The quest. ,ers to work on Sundays to meet the demands of the nation -for more wheat has come up in parlia- ment as a . war measure. One of the greatest privileges that man- kind enjoys is that of resting one day in seven. The man who does not or can not take advantage of this privilege, suffers physically, mentally., and.. spiritually. The Sabbath Day Was instituted for the benefit of man and it is his duty as well as his .privilege to observe it in the manner in 'which it was intended. But in cases of necessity and mercy, it is not con-. 'sidered unlawful to work. 'In the case of sickness,- or to- save a butt. • :, • any o •er :'kind of property; it ie the duty:of man to do all in his.po.wer to save -and relieve. In this crisis in the world's )victory, .property and lives were never more in danger, and not,only that, but Christian- ity was never more in danger. If itis right to work_on. the Sabbath -hay to:save ft burning bnilding or LL to save &sick animal, it is surely • of greater necessity to work on -that day to save that which is of - incoueeivablygreater..a-Iue.to the world than a mere building or a -domestic animal: Burin .passing lavi.allovring a farmer to work on Snndays.'ear.e should be exer- :deed to see that be does not abuse the privilege. .There are many id 444 who have now no scruples in re- (does, their farina will be of no Herd. fo..violating the Sabbath, and they - would gladly embrace the' opportunity of working on- the Sabbath Day regularly without interference by the authorities. Only in cases where -it is . clear. that production of foodstuffs may be increased by granting the farmer the privilege of working on Sundays should the privilege be given. .. . beneflt•to there. If they are not tiien_from them by the victorious Huns, they will be taxed so hea'v- iiy ,to .payy, the indemuity that Germany will demand, and the Immen$@ war debt that has. .been incurred. that for many years, the people of Canada. as well as theallied nations; will be. cotir- pelled to expend all their efforts "in wiping "o:nt 'this indebtedness. The work of the exemption tri- bunals with the heavy cost entail- ed, has . been •a waste of effort, time and money. Not because this method of conscription was an entirely bad one, but because the war situation has become so serious, and so different ' from what it was last fall, and the need of Men. so -urgent, that a more speedy..system of raisiug the ne- cessary unmher_of Men has 'to be adopted.' As a result the exemp- tions which were granted by the tribunals have to be cancelled in a great many 'cases. Many ,young farmers who were exempted, on account of the scarcity of farm p, are now .mug ca ed to the colors. The situation on the farms will.be more acute on . a-ccouu t of •this loss of.. help, -bum -those who are left at home will simply have to make the best of it, and spare no effort to produce ,more food- stuffs. 'It is a great•disappoint- went •to ' these young men -and theirJamilies, but it is pleasing to note that they view the matter very philosophically. • They real. ize that their; presence is snore urgent' on: the battle fields of France, than in the wheat•fields of Canada ' The progress of the ,war-. during the past few months has convinced thele . that there -ice a great possibility _that Germany may yet win. the- War, and if• she. .

ZEEBRUGGE CANAL BLOCKED . AND OSTEND FAIRWAY NARROWED -British Navy's Raid on Flanders Coast is Big Blow to Operations of German Submarines—Obsolete Cruisers Laden With . Concrete Sunk to Block Entrance. 4 A despatch from London lays: The net result of the British navy's raid on the FIanders coast, according to a high naval authority, is that the Zee- brugge Canal entrance is ' effectilally blocked, a breach 120 feet long has been made in the viadact connecting the Mole with the land and the Os- tend fairway has been inconveniently narrowed, but not wholly blocked. The Zeebrugge Canal is much more important to the German navy's oper- a ons is the chai►nel than Ostend; as it was through Zeebrugge that U - heats constructed at Antwerp were hrbught to the coast, also munitions and goers] supplies for coast defence. Teebfugge harbor has been daily dredged by two. dredges owing to the perpetual shifting of the sand. The British sunk one of these 'dredges. The other was .damaged, so that with a breach in the viaduct and a south' west or westerly wind the sand shift, _ing_has proceeded rapidiy,-.and_it will— take the Germans some time to over4 come it. The removal of the blockships across the canal's mouth also is E, slow and delicate job, because the us of heavy charges would still furthe� injure the entrance 'walla,,of the can• ale, and the blockehips were construct. ed in a peculiar manner so as to gilts them high festtttng• power—For—s - time the Germans Trust use Ostend instead of Zeebrugge as ' their chief refuge, thus bringing em further down the channel than ey like.
