Out of the Austro-Servian dispute has grown a war in which
all the Great Powers are embroiled, which may continue for yeara,
and which will inevitably change the map of Europe. Great
Britain has been forced into the war, but without any loss of dig-
nity or prestige. Only after her most strenuous efforts to bring
about a peaceable arrangement between the belligerents had failed
did Britain take the final stand “which caused Germany to declare
war upon the Empire. The invasion of neutral territory and the
violation of the neutrality of Belgium, of which Britain is the pro-
tector, were sufficient reasons for declaring war, and, when it came
to thé touch, there was no trace of hesitation ‘in the action of the
British government. .

The foremost fighter of the Empire, Lord Kitchener, has been
placed in command of the mititary situation, as Minister of War,
and has evidently been givenafree hand. Over a billion dollars
has been voted for war purposes, and the army establishment has
been increased to 500,000, .

The British navy, upon which the integrity of the Empire de-
pends, was never in better condition. Some knowledge ,of the
approaching crisis would seem to have been gained by the admiral-
ty, which, only three weeks apo, took the unusual step of placing
the entire navy upon a war. basis. The ostensible reason, which
was generally accepted, was a review of 200 ships of war at Spit-
head, but as the three fleets were armed, manned, provisioned: and |
coaled, the government must be credited with excellent. foresight.

In the emergency, the Overseas Dominions have not failed the
Empire, Australia and New Zealand have offered men and money,
while Canada will furnish three dreadnoughts for the British navy
and will send an army of twenty thousand men for foreign service,
One hundred thousand Canadians have already volunteered, _

Britons, the world over, ara confident that the flag. of the Em-
pire will emerge from the great struggle ungullied, ‘and that the

end of the war will see Britain still all-powerful on the seven seas.

Production of Wealth

Wealth consists of anything

’ that is useful, that has value.

It is either fundamental, or the
outgrowth of fundamental wealth.

Fundamental wealth is in and
of the earth.

The ground itself, the uneulti-
vated things that grow out of it,
and those that are hidden below
its surface—in other words, the
ground, the forests, and the min-
erals are fundamental wealth.

Developing our mineral re-
sources is progressing steadily.
Throughout the west are in-
numerable companies that are

taking this wealth out of the’

earth: in quantities beyond the
dreams of avarice. Almost toa
unit these companies were or-
ganized and developed by men of
little means who induced others
to help them with small invest-
ments. Today these organizers
and investors are reaping their
; reward in the possession of

wealth that they had never hoped
to have, —

' This great work of developing
‘our mineral resources has scarce-
ly begun, The west offera great-
et opportunities for the moderate
investor today than it has in the

~ past. It ia studded’ with the
; ‘holdings of young ‘companies
"that have-proved mineral’ valuea
of. great richness, and that need

" eapital for machinery to turn the
-"qwealth’ into usefulness, These
- eompinied® offer an ideal field for
the man with money to invest.
“Here. his money. will go to devel:
‘build, ‘atid establish.an indus:
which he. will: el in the

ets of the Money Ring sharks.
Here he will receive what his
money earns, and not the five
per’ cent. rental on Wall Street
watered stock.

The man ‘who tills the soil adds
value to it by making it product-
ive. The man who digs and
blasts his way into the earth and
brings forth the minerals adds
value to them by making them
available for use,

These men are the real wealth-
producers, and next to the’ grow-
ing products of the earth that
feed and clothe us, the ‘iron ore
that’ makes our machinery, the
coal that furnishes our power,
the gold that measures our val-
ues, the copper that transmits
our thoughts, and the chemicals

form the fundamental wealth of
the world,

the courage to invest their money
te look for: them and the men
who have bravery to go into the
bowels of the earth and bring

latter products, and wealth’ will

crumbs that fall. from the: rich| il
man’s table.

The men who turn fundamen-
tal wealth into usefulness are the
creators of wealth—the producers
of wealth. They work and make
their money work. They may
take a reasonable risk, but they
do not gamble,

The stock exchange does not
create or produce wealth, All
the stock éxchanges in existence
and that ever existed never pro-
duced a single cent of wealth.
The stock exchange as now con-
ducted is the cancer on our in-
dustrial body, the leech in our
financial system, a gambling hell
so glossed that neither social nor
political government dares wipe
it out of existence,—Exchange,
