Kitchener expects to have .'OO.OOt more soMiers in Prance before spring That will be (loins fairly well, as then nearly one million men under British flag will be fighting with tllfl allies. But that should be only the bogin-nlns bogin-nlns of Great Britain's response to the rail in arms rbe bombarding of Sarborough. Hartlepool and Whitby, which caused Churchill to refer to the Cermnns as the "baby killers of Scarborough." should be sufficient notice no-tice to the Fnplish pooplf" that they are in n r.tvncule which means th-destruction th-destruction of their homes and all they hold dear, if they fail to win. nnd as a result Fnuland alone should be preparing an army of two million to three million soldiers. Were Great Britain to throw into France and Belgium two million men by early sprinp. the position of the Germans In the western theatre of war would be perilous and by midsummer mid-summer the end of (he German offen sive should be in sight. The English so far have sent less men into action than little Rumania could have furnished within a month after the oprning of hostilities That is explained though by the fart thai England did not have a ver large sianding army and has not made military mili-tary training compulsory. There are now said !o be 1,500,000 English. Irish.

Puring the dull period there are many deserving families in distress whose wants are not made known to other than near neighbors or friends There are men the heads of families, who will not seek aid from the county because their names would go on record rec-ord as Indigents and their children be classed in the same category They in.- i he mo6t deserving of all the poor, Misfortune has come to them by vlr j tue of a nation's calamity They 1 seek work and cannot get It. They offer their services and are denied tin' privilege, Which should be pvprv man's richt to rarn bread by the . sweat of their brows. I ) We are told of shopmen with large I families reduced to penury. Every 1 one of them Is bogging lor the oppor-luiiitv oppor-luiiitv to labor and there is nothing for l hem to do. What is iho remedv for this dreadful dread-ful predicament? These people do not want charity it has been suggested that the men inert and capitalize their energy by acreeing in a body to stand good for a loan erjual to their combined necessities ne-cessities f"i a period of 60 days. Th.s might be possible. If a nnmbpr of our men of money muld see their way to make up a fund to be turned over at a small rate of interest. There is another serious problem for this community and that Is the caring for the hungry, shivering men who nightly ask for lodging at th---city jail These wayfarers, we are Informed, if allowed to sleep in the jail at night, are turned out at early morning In the same hungry condition in which they enter the refuge. One of our best known followers of the lOwlj N'azerene informed the Standard that he would subscribe $1f) to a fund to help provide these hungry men with at least a cup of coffee and a pioco of bread each morning.
