TRUTH WILL OUT,

There seems to he a growing
epidemic of truth-telling in Ger-
many. Two men in high German
circles have dared the wrath of
the iron hand and have told the
world and the German people
various facts not altgether calcu-
lated to please the German rulers,

A short time ago, Prince Lich-
nowsky, who was German am-
bassador to Britain on the out-

break of war, made a statement

in which he completely absolved
Britain of any share in precipi-
tating the terrible cataclysm,
praised her in fact for her valiant
attempls to avert the strugzle,
and blaming Germany as causing
the war.

The other day another German

of high standing braved the Im-
perial anger and told the reich-
stag that Germany had no chance
of winning the waron the field,

Such declarations, coming as
they did from men in position to
know the complete facts, must

_ have startled the German people,
The men who-have thus let the
cat out of the bag will no doubt
‘suffer for their “lege majesty,”
for it constitutes such. How-
ever, if the German people profit
by these statements the move-
ment for the whole truth and
nothing but the truth in Germany
will assume such proportions that
Emperor William and his officials
will be compelled to tell their
people the-truth, and in so doing
will sign their own desth war-

_ rants.

Truth will out, whether it be
‘sunk at the bottom ofa well or
,camouflaged by the lies of the
"Wilhelmstrasse.

INSTILS CONFIDENCE.

It was announced by President
Wilson on Tuesday that there
were over a million American
troops already in France. This
". ig.a cause for much satisfaction,

The Allied armies have now con-jp. +

crete assurance of American mil-
itary aid.
the Allied leaders can face any
attack Germany makes, The
-number of Americans in France
. increases daily and as this num-
bor increases, Gur confidence: in
the future, already high, grows
to boundless heights, The day

-. grows nearer. when. Germariy’s

The Canada Food Board an-
nounces that a considerable num-
ber of public eating places, board-
ing houses, etc., which were re-
quired to have licences by July £
have not yet sent in their appli-
evtions, These licences became
operative on July 1, and on and
after that date it became illegal
for any person to operate without
a licence a public eating place or
boarding house.

The attention of the Canada
Food hoard has also been called
to. the fact that the new regula-
tidns applicable to food laws are
not being observed rigidly by
public entertainments and chureh
affairs. The regulations are as
binding to such affairs ag to pub-|a
lic eating houses,says the board,
and must be observed,

Copies of the new order applic-
able to. picnics have been distrib-
uted-to the police authorities, and
organizations are advised tocom-
municate with the local police in
order to secure detailed informa-
tlan as to the regulations,
