entire approval of the action of the

the duty of man to turn the other
cheek, to the man who smites him.

the declaration that the war had
resolved itself into a conflict between
the mechanics in the contending: na

"The country is not doing its best,"
he declared.
The Minister said the government
had under construction 11 arsenals, to
man which 200.000 more men were re
quired. "The government," he added, "cannot
equip the army at this time unless the
unions suspend during: the war all

frontage on the Columbia and Skip-
anon rivers.
