Those who are speculating on the duration of the war would do
well to bear in mind certain contingencies. Inthe first place, a
serap of paper is in existence signed by representatived of Great
Britain, France and Russia, which stipulates that no ong af these
powers shall conclude peace without the consent of the others,
Japan has also intimated her willingness to be bound by this docv-
ment. Mr Asquith, in his recent Guiidhal] speech, said:

*‘We shall never sheathe the sword, which we have not lightly

* drawn—

“Until Belgium recovers in full measure all and more than all
that she has sacrificed: :

“Ontil France is adequately secured against the menace of
aggression:

“Until the rights of the smaller nationalities of Europe are
placed upon an unassailable fouddaiion;

“Until the military domination of Prussia is wholly and finally
destroyed.”

How long it will take before these matters are accomplished
facts no one knows, says an exchange, It will depend primarily
on the ability of the Allies to pour fresh troops into the field. _The
two men above all others responsible to the British nation for the

- enndnet of the war on land—Lord Kitchener and Sir John French—|

have never ceased to appeal for men, and more men, They know
better than anyone else in the Kimpire how the task to- which they
have set their hands can best be accomplished, ™
record as saying that every man in the Empire’must give, and do
all that he can if this war is to be won. The war has get up new
values and new scales, We cannot measure its consequénces or-its
possible duration ‘by any struggle of the ‘past,
must bring about are greater in their importance on. the destinies
of nations than any of which history furnished examples. The new
elements introduced into, modern warfare all have the. Aé@ndency to
discount prophecy BS to how longa period, of attrition ‘the side with
the greatest resourced ‘must subject the enemy. One thing is cer-

"tain, and ‘that i is that confidence, courage and high. resolve, backed

by ain inexhaustible supply of men, will contribute in large'measure

Canal Benefits ‘Railways
‘lhat the’ Canadian railways
operating in: Western: Canada in-
tend to make use of the new
water route placed at -their dis-
posal by . the completion of the
Panama Canal, is the opinion of
R. E. Mansfield, the United States
Consul at Vancouver, -B.'C.
An official -report filed at Wash-
ington, refers to the great harbor
and dock improvements that are
being carriedoutat Prince Rupert.
He states that many millions of
dollars have already been expen-
ded there, or the expenditure pro-
vided: for, so that the harbor
facilities may be as ample: and
satisfactory as any on the Pacific
Coast, Prince Rupert being the
western terminal of the Grand
Trunk -Pacifle Railway tapping}
the new and rich country of the
North.
British Columbia, Mr. Mans-

. field thinks, will make consider-

". able use of the canal for its Euro-

‘". toany port of the world, and the

pean trade. It will be‘able to
ship, without breaking cargoes,

‘almost untouched natural re-
sources of British Columbia, it is
said, will find a market abroad
