KINDLY namile COVERS WAR’S SCARSl W AVING FIELDS OF CORN HIDE CEMETERIES. Nature's Profusion Throws a Disguising Mantle Over Battlefields of France. From Lille to Bethune the road takes . you through La Bassee and across the Red zone. Five years ago it was all 6 wild waste of war-tormented land and mined buildings. La Basses lay level with the soil. For miles around the earth was pitted with shell helm and seamed with trenches. How does it look to-day? asks C. R. Hargrave in 'Nio London Daily Mail. One flue summer morning I rode out along the famous highway to find an answer to that question. Had the “gm of war all passed away? At the and of the Journey I said to myself that they had not. And yet the signs are visible only to one who looks for them and can recognize them. For the man who had never heard of the mat struggle the answer, I think, would be that there was no token or war to be seen. What would he note? A road for the most part freshly repaved; a large number or people living in temporary huts; a vast amount of building every- where, especially in La Bassee and Bethune. In the former he might perceive the ruins ’of a church covered, almost ob- literated, by rank vegetation, and be- side it a barnlike timber structure with a cross over the door; but he might well imagine a local fire had done the damage. In the latter he would be' astonished to find the whole of the centre, on the hilltop, composed of new buildings of brick or stone; but he might imagine there had been a local fire there too. He would comment on the ubiquity of corrugated iron, for where the roofs are not of bright red tilw they are all of this material. He would wonder why only a narrow wooden drawbridge serves to carry the highway over the canal. It was the drawbridge the Royal Engineers built to enable the troops to advance. at last, from lines which they had held for four years. But what re- mains of these lines? For miles and‘ miles before and behind the flat land is covered by swaying crops. There is an interval of a few hundred yards. Your motor car stops and your driver points out "the trenches." You can perceive vaguely the entrance of a. crumbling dugout; you can trace with difficulty the broken line of a trench. It is all overgrown, and the hollows‘ are fast filling up. ‘ Why has this strip of the earth not « been restored to cultivation? The gov- ernment has preserved it expressly from the hands of the tiller of the soil to bear witness to the past. But naâ€"1 ture threatens to change it into 21‘, simple piece of waste land. She is l‘ust‘ filling up the ctrenches and the (lugw outs, making this land look merely un- tidy and meaningless. When the rebuilding is finished. when nature has done her work withl the strips of earth that are lntemled' to serve as memorials of the war, what will remain to remind the coming gen- eration or its havoc? In a back yard in La Bassee I saw an abandoned Bri- tish tankâ€"still standing where it struck five years ago. They will surely move that to the village square and President, Mr. I. F. Hellmuth, KC. THE large majorities in favor of Government Control cast, one after the other, by the Western Provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta were not made possible by the votes of only those who desired a change for the purpose of personal indulgence. There could have been no adoption of Government Control had it not been for the votes of total abstaincrs. In Manitoba, after almost a year, only a small proportion of those who voted for Government Control has taken out permits to purchase liquors. An examination of the figures will further show that very many people who had pre- viously voted for Prohibition had, after several years' trial, decided that the time had come for a change. ‘ Why? Not because it was desired to revert to the old “Bar” system of drinking. Not because there was any question about the universal desire for temperance. respect for law, and decent environment for the children. Not because the public conscience had become deadcned. But Because: There had grown a feeling, amounting to a conviction. that Prohibition was not living up to the prophecies of those who had advocated its adoption, and that it was creating evils as great as those it pretended to subdue, but much more difficult to deal with. ‘Thoughtful men and women do not ignore what they experience and observe. It is generally agreed that a step was taken in the right direction when the public drinking bar was abolished. But the good of that step has been challenged by the enormous traffic done by the Bootlcggcr and the huge output of the home-brewer and illicit distiller. The Moderation League proposes to hold to the good that has been accomplished, but to meet squarely the challenge of the Bootlegger and the Moonshiner. Prohibition does not frighten the Bootlegger. It created him, and keeps him alive. Does anyone doubt how the Bootleggcr will vote on October 23rd? Does anyone think that if the Bootleggcr could be assured that present conditions would last for, say, ten years he would not greatly extend his business, and become even more daring in his operations? In the meantime the Bootlcggcr has grown wealthy and powerful. No matter what is done he will not now be easily abolished. Drinking continues on a scale the magnitude of which is unsuspected by the ordinary citizen, and consequences, which do not find their way into statistics, but are nevertheless disastrous to the individuals concerned and to the community, follow, The decent, self-respecting and law-abiding citizen has been penalised, but the orgies of the other class, provided they are conducted with sumcicnt secrecy, have remained unchecked. The Province is also losing the huge revenue which those who desire to use liquor, properly and moderately, are willing to pay for the privilege. Can the Province afford to lose this revenue? Can it continue to ignore the conditions being created on every side? The answer lies with the electorate. With many of the ideals of Prohibition the Moderation League of Ontario is in entire sympathy. The only motive underlying the activities of the League is that of a sincere desire to promote the interests, social, financial, and moral of the Province. There is no wish to provoke controversy or illâ€"feeling. Appeal is made to the experience and observationâ€"not to the passions and prejudicesâ€"of the people of Ontario. It is contended that there exist sufâ€" ficient grounds obvious to anyone who does not wilfully close his eyes to them and regarding which there is no difference of opinion. to justify the position taken by the League. Altogether, the time has come for a change. Government Control can be had by marking your Ballot as follows:â€" '1'.” BALLQT Are you in favour of_thc continuanct; of The Ontario Temperance Act?
