Divine law, \u2018if anyone distinctly finds himself faced with the alternative of breaking the commands of God o- those of a Prince he must follow the precepts of Jesus Christ and answer as did the Apostle.It is better to obey Cod than man.\\ Not Disobedience.\u201cTo act thus is not to merit reproach for disobedience, for Princes, when their will is in opposition to the Divine will and law, exceed their power and corrupt justice.Hence their authority is not binding, because when it is not just it ceases.\u2019 \u201cExceliency, yonr authority, then, cannot be exercised except in accordance with justice.Ecce in justitin regnabit rex.(Behold, in justice shall the King reign).\u201cWhen a Prince casts aside justice we no longer owe him either obed- fence, respect or loyalty.Placed by the will of God on the Archiepiscopal throne of Malines we are only answerable to our conscience, and, if in the discharge of our holy office we ars obliged to raise our voice, we believe ourselves to be following the teachings of our Divine Master.Rendering Unto Caesar.\u201cWe \u2018render unto Caesar those things which are Caesar's,\u2019 far we pay PROHIBIT EXPORT OF IRON AND STEEL BRITISH GOVERNMENT DECLARES ABSOLUTE Pronr.) BITION ON PIG IRON.London, April 14\u2014The British gov- | ernment this evening proclaimed an absolute prohibition of the export to! auy destination of all kinds of pig iron and nearly all kinds of steel.The prohilition on steel applies specially to the variety used by railroads and shipbuilders, including rails, sleepers, springs, wheels, axles, tubes, girders, irgots, bare angles and rods and of plates more than an eighth of an inch in thickness.The exportation of soap containing more than one per cent.of glycerine is prohibited.rt sou the silent homage due to strength, but we keep closed to your encroachments the sacred domain of our conscience, the last refuge of the rightfu! oppressed.\u201cIt was not, Your Excellency may be sure, without deep reflection thar we denounced to the world the evils with which our brothers and sisters sre overwhelmed\u2014frightful evils, indeed atrocious crimes, the tragic hor- hor of which cold reason refuses to admit.Vandalism at Louvain.\u201cBut had we not done so we should not have felt ourselves worthy to be the successor of the Apostles whe converted the Belgian Gaul nor the spiritual son of those who by their labors made illustrious the S:e of Malities.of which.the Library of Louvain formed the purest jewel\u2014the inestimable priceless treasure.\u201cAlii laboraverant et vi in labore: eorum introistis.In the almost fatal position in which our people are piunged we made our voice heard and hoped that our thoughts would be pondered on by you.But a Prince shall have thoughts worthy of a Prince and shall keep his authority over the chiefs of his people, \"Belgian, we have heard the cries of sorrow of our people;

Militis of Canada in addition to abous : 70000 retired officers and men who | had received military training, à total of about 248,000 iitted for military service.Judging from the experience of several average Militia Units, more than 220.000 officers and men possessing some military knowledge have en- | listed for overseas service.The nue.\u201c leus of every overseas unit was com- | posed of these men.: ! Th fact is signiicant and goes to | prove that the men who had had some training were the first to offer their services in the cause of the Right.; Fhese were the men to whom citizen- | ship meant service.We have arrived at a point in Canada where the Militia is practically denuded of military fit men, and new enlistments are few, nqtwithstanding the fact that ample well-trained offic ers and N.C.0.s are available for m- structional purposes in every unit.These instructors, in the main.are debarred from Overseas Service tor various reasons.The fact that new men are not joining thé Militia is having its influence on recruiting for overseas.It is becoming increasingly more expensive and difficult to complete the establishment of overseas units.and yet only 25% of the available fit men have so far been recruited.One of the essential! priciples uoon which the Military strength of Canada must rely in this: that for every 1.000 men on the firing line and lines of communication in France we must have 2,000 men as a first reserve in England .and 2.000 men in reserve in Canada.The reserve in Canada need it must De composed rf men possess- | not be men enlisted for Oversea:.hut ing some military experience.Canads cannot he out of danger from invasion at any time during peace or war, though as long as the present war lasts.the danger is immediate.The trained military reserve in Can-!

tend to enter further into this than ta «ay that in Ontario and the North Western Provinces, many men have comparatively reeently arrived Jn this country from England, Scotland and Ireland.have joined the Canadian forces.Any fair comparison would be of the native born, and that has yet \"to he made.One thing seems certain.that young men born in Canhave not yet come forward in any Province as they should have done.and this is true of the Province of Quebec as of any ather, and applies both to the Engzlish epeaking and French speaking men of suitable age tie for service.There has been an attempt to mix up the bilingnal schont question with volunteerinz for militacy service.A wise Italian staid years ago that mix- \u2018ing up things ic the great evil.He was quite right.The bilingual ques- tinn has not the most remote connec tion with the recruiting one, unless evilminded men, for their own purposes, try to mix them together.1 © cannot sufficiently condemn the wicked work of misguided men in Ontario and Manitoba.who altered the school laws during the war, nor can I find words tn express my condemnation of the iniquitous action of wrong Là.THE REID CO.Ltd.Phone 122 227 ST.PAUL STREET.Wholesale Dealers and Manufacturers\u2019 Agents.Brompton Kruft Wrappine l\u2019aper.The best wrappinz paper on the market, kept in stock by us.ind many other leading brands.We also carry in stock Sovereign brand Roofing and Building Paper.Over 50 years of honest dealing enables us to give entire satisfaction.Write, phone or call for prices and particulars./ / j iN 2 THE ORIGINAL AND ONLY GEKUINE.Acts like a Charm in DIARRHOEA o.oo \u2026 spoctic in CHOLERA \u2026 DYSENTERY.Checks and arrests thone too often fatal diseases - FEVER, CROUP.AGUE.The dent Remedy known for COUGHS, COLDS, ASTHMA, BRONCHITIS.: Effect este short all attacks of SPASMS.fs the saly palliativ: NEURALGIA.RHEUMATISM, TOOTHACHE.Chiorodyne is « liquid taken in drops.draduats i 2 T6 gnvariably relieves ai of eaten hind : pr retina aed ; ye irritation of the nervoee avxtem when all othee remedies fil: leaves effects; and can be tuken whew no other medicine car be fulerated.INSIST ON HAVING CONVINCING Br.J.COLLIS BROWNE'S MEDICAL TESTIMONY CHLORODYNL.Ap.lixtuthstx1y The immosce vues ?.this Remedy hao Ter rise Seid by all Chemists.#0 meay imitations, Prices ia Regiand : Vu, 2/0, 41 MB.\u2014 Every boitle ef Qenvins Chloredras Soars os (he samp ths seme of the favenier, Dr.J.Collis Browse.Sois Masefseiurers : 1.T.DAVENPORT, headed men in Quebec, who advise Canadians not to go to the assistance of France till the schnol question is settled; for it is France that calls for assistance.and the apepal is specially to those of her own race i and language.Some of the fairest | parts of France are now occupied by Prussian-controlled German hardes who have \u2018wasted fields, destroved cities.ruined cathedrals, burned lih- raries shot non-combatants violated \"women and mutilated little children.They are now trying to break through the French line at Verdun in order to \"destroy Paris | Suppose news cam- to the Prove \u201cince of Quebec that all the rights the \"French «speaking people ot \u2018Intarlo and Manitoba claim, had been granted or won, and the bilingual question was forever settled in their favor, and | ac the same time news that for want | of timely help the Germans had broken through at Verdun ,and Paris was :àa smoking desolation.that Notre Dame was an irreparable ruin.and that the River Seine was choked with the dead bodies nf violated French women and mutilated French children.Woull joy bells ring from the steeples and the tricolor float gaily from the flagstaff because of the news from Ontario.or would the news from France plunge all the land intn mourning.and into deep regret that the ndequate assistance which French Canadians might have given to repel the Germans, had been deferred hecause of the school question?With what heart could any French Canadian ever go to France in the future tn he asked:\u2014WHY DID YOU NOT COMF OVER TO HELP US?and to answer BPE.CAUSE 1 WAS BUSY TALKING ABOUT THE USE OF FRENCH IN THE ROMAN CATHOLIC SEPARATE SCHOOLS OF ONTARIO AND MANITOBA.Tt is important to send the children ta schoo!

diseased lungs; thin, watery blood; defective eyesight, resulting from exhausted nerves, Thess are among the prevailing derangements which the examining doctors find.Health has been neglected.The blood has not been kept in healthful condition.The nervous system has got run down, and the subject under inspection is in no condition to fight the enemies of his country or to withstand the attack of diseass germs.Health preparedness means the use of preventive treatment, such as Dr.Chase\u2019s Nerve Food, to enrich the blood, reinvigorate the starved nerve cells and keep the health at high-water mark.In this condition you have the strength, vigor and confidence d enjoyment of life.You have the vitality to defy disease germs and thereby escape many ills which find an easy prey in the run-down Dr.Chase's Nerve Food, by means of its blood-forming and nerve-invigorating influence, cures headaches, nervous indigestion, sleeplessness and irritability, and preveats such serious diseases as nervous prostration, locomotor ataxis and paralysis.50 cents a box, 8 for $8.50, all dealers, or Edmaason, Bates & Co., Limited, Toronto.Do not be talked into accepting a substitute.Imitations disappoint.DIOR er | erve Dr.Chase's Recipe Book, 1,000 selected recipes, seut free if you mention this paper.for liberty, equality, and fraternity, sweeping on from victory to victory as long as she stood for human brotherhood, full now under the power of Germany for want of adequate assistsance from her son's sons.It is for them to answer by coming forward in their thousands to help to save her.May they do sc speedily, for help deferred may come too Tate.I\" trust the Governor General in Council.with the full concurrence of the leader of the Government and the leader of the Opposition.will prompt.iy disallow ail Provincial school legislation passed since the war commenced.Tt is not posible for such men as Sir Robert Borden, and Sir Wilfrid Laurier to put politics aside for once, and show that they are statesmen?But the Germans, like time and tide.will not wait and they recognize no law but force.The saddest of all words are \"TOO LATE\" The past returns fio more.Yours truly, ED.HARPER-WADE, Quebec, 5 April, 1916.\u201cCLERK OF THE CHEQUE.\u201d Wien the King of England falls ilf the duty of guarding the sick cham- Ler falls, by ancient usage and tradition, to the Yeoman of the Guard.Their full official title is \u201cthe King's Bodyguard of the Yoeman of the Guard.\u2019 It dates from early Tudor times, having been first established in 1485 by Henry VIL, and the yeomen still wear the old Tudor uniform, that of the officers;

liquidation and encouraging the trading ele- went to extend its operations for the short account.As the session progressed, however, sentiment became more hopeful and buying orders, which appeared to emanate from substantial sources effected a very decided readjustment.In fact, vasious active shares finished with material tet gains, The first hours operations of almost 300,000 shares comprised more than the usual variety of issues, but Mexican Petroleum, United States Steel and Crucible Steel led the decline of that period.Mexican Petroleum was the centre of weakness, making an extreme loss\u2019 of 3 1-4 at 99 3-4, but closing at 101 5-8, War shares, motors and half a score of equipments were down 1 to 3 points and United States Steel fell to 73 1-4 before it rebounded to 83 1-2, Rails agai proved an exception to the lowering trend, although New York Central, Union Pacifc, Eric and Norfolk and Western were temporarily depressed.New Haven made up much of its recent loss on announcement that the company had arranged its maturing notes.High priced specialties were among the few issues to hold back in the later dealings, Bethlehem Steel falling 5 to 469 and General Motors 10 to 440.Crucible, the locomotives and Mercantile Marines sustained the market at its steady close.Total sales of stocks amounted to 643,000 shares.Indifference to the course of foreign exchange was again manilested in all but international banking circles.The Paris check made the new quotation \u2018of 6.09 before it responded to the buying of remittances.Roubles were weak, lires yielded some of yesterday's gain and marks were firong, with fittle variation to sterling.Indications of the prevalence of extraordinary business activity were again afforded by the enorimous exchanges although these were somewhat under recent recoveries.The annual statement of the Kay Consolidated Copper Company, supplemented recent reports of large earnings by similar companies, and the Western Union Telegraph Company disclosed a net gain of $1,484,464 for the first quarter of the current year.Bonds made slight concessions in speculative issues on light dealings.Total sales, par value, $2,735,000, NEW YORK

declining sharply to new low levels for the present movement.The downward course of prices was due to the activity of professional interests who took advantage of the serious aspect to the inter national situation to offer stocks down.After a mid-day spell of dullness, good support developed when further bear vressure was attempted and this not alone checked the decline, but resulted in a rally largely helned by short covering, while final sales were better generally than those shcwn in the opening prices, this in reality did not show that any change in the general situation or outlook had undergone any change.Transactions throughout were very lafgely professional.Our opinion of the market is unchanged.| Until some definite development occurs in the German and Mexican situations, we
