AUSTRIA - The action of congress In declar ing that state of war exils be tween this country and Anuria, which is expected within the n'e.a few days. Is simply p"tilng into the realm of acknowledged fact itiintf which is a reality. Presider.l Wil son's recommendation to this effe'l was merely the giving voice to a pretty Insistent demand that has arisen during the past few months. Especially has this demand come from officials in the department of justice where their work of trying to round up enemies within our own borders has been seriously hamper ed by the fact that we could not treat Austrian as enemies. To be fighting Germany and tech nically at peace with Austria has been an anomalous position which even the laymen of the country hare recognized. But aside from the Justice of rucu declaration, on the ground that Aostrlans were helping the Germans In their scheme of world domination to the limit- of their ability. Is the fact that It was Austria' who started all the trouble. The greed of the louse of Hapsbnrg, urged on, It Is true, by Germany, led the to undertake to dominate the Balkans even to the extent of looking for an excuse to invade Cervia and wreck that inoffensive people. The spirit of the Austria natloi In that course was none the less damnable than the spirit which has characterized the rulers of Germany. That spirit must be crushed before democracies are safe In this world. And it is to sake those Diinciples safe that Am ericans are making war. ECONOMY When we put a million or more soldiers in the field, we decrease the ordinary productiveness of the coun-1 tryto a decidedly appreciable extent. While In the army or in training, theee men do not produce. On the contrary, an army consumes an im mense amount of produce, especially when on the fighting line. There Is hardly a more expensive organlza nf earth thsn n army In the field. America Is the one remaining great storehouse of supplies; and the one country where the possibilities of increasing output Is very large. It has become a most important pa triotic duty to draw as little on these wtores for domestic consumption as we possibly can. The more we les- New Seedless Raisins 15c Package 7 lbs.

The disaster which has pinned the dominion into mourning probab ly will rank as the most fearful that ever occurred on the American con tinent. Residents of Halifax and thous ands of volunteer relief workers who have come into the city have been almost dazed at the extent of the, horror. Temporary morgues have been es tablished in many buildings to which a steady procession of vehicles of all kinds have been carrying 'tr hours the bodies of men, women and chil dren. .Most of them were so charred that they were unrecognizable. The,flameiswept area covers two and one half square miles. It 'hIiih at what la known as the North street bridge, extending. north to Pier 8 rn the Richmond water front and back to a point running parallel with Got- tinner street. Nothing has been left standing In this section of the city Only a pile of smouldering ruins marks the spot where the great building of the American Sugar Re fining company stood. The dry dock and all the buildings around it were destroyed. The Richmond school that housed hundreds of children was demolished and it is reported only three escaped. Canadian officers who have seen long service In France characterize the catastrophe as "the most fearful which has befallen any city in the world."

This winning Is also a credit to the Judgment of J. V.
