REGISTRATION.
Most of the publicity undertak-
en by the government in the mat-
ter of the forthcoming registra-
tion is apparently being left to
the registrars in the various
provinces, and we are not sure
they are doing enough. It must
be born in mind word of thereg-
istralion must penetrate into ev-
ery place in the Dominion where
there are human beings. Itisa
roatter which cannot be kept too
much before the public. Men
and womeh of all nationalities in
the Dominion will have to repis-

ter, for the only ones exempt are|-

.cloistered nuns, persons upon ac-
tive service in any of His Majes-
ty’s naval and military forces,
and persons confined in asylums
or jails. We see nothing in the
regulations which excludes In-
dians or Chinese or Doukhobors.,
For these re. sons too widespread

publicity cannot be given to the],

inventory to be taken, nor can
the public be too strongly im-
pressed with the compulsory na-
ture of the reyulations, Noja
doubt the different provincial
registrars are taking this into
account, and will do all within
their power to let everyone know
between now and June 22,—Eix.

CAN’T LEARN—OR WONT.
Germany has always prided
herself that “nobody could teach

” her anything”, that her ‘‘kultur’’
was the acme of perfection and
-unequailed by any. She has
systematically taught her people
that there was onelaw for Ger-
many and another for the other
nations; that what Gernmiany did |:
was right and if her actions broke
the laws of the other nations,
Germany wad right and the other
nations wrong; that Germany
was faultiess. 'Chroughout the
length of this war Germany has
always" observed these two codes

. and has been surprised when re-
taliatory measures were employ-
ed against her. She introduced

poison gad and it shocked her| m
when the Allies used it. against,

* | signed,

by differentiating between the|

rights of her acts and those of
her enemies. She has demanded
the releuse of Von Rintelen, sen-
tenced in San Francisco for plot-
ting against the U.S., taking the
attitude that because he worked
for Germany he could not be re-
garded a3 a eriminal, and threat-
ens to make reprisals by mal-
treating American prisoners in
Germany if Rintelen is not re-
leased, The U.S. promptly an-
swered that Germans in America
will be accorded the sanie treat-
ment meted out to Americans in
Germany, to which Germany has
not replied, doubtless being still
gasping from this blow to her
egotism—and Rintelen is still in
jail. Your move, Kaiser,

The Germans claim to have
advanced at Curry. The French
will doubtless make it hot enough
for them there.

Wm. Grant’s agency received
a check last week in full’ settle-
ment of Miss Wright's. fire at
Skeena Crossing. Are you in-
sured? #EK]
