But he lacks the years or knowledge to realize that, when a man has gone through 8 horrible experience snd it oft- er(vard8 continues to prey on his mind. he is partially or totally incapable of ever standing up again under the impact of n sim- ilar shock. The Great Wsr ha6 preyed on the minds of very many as proved by alj the howl- ing--"Csvnlcndo" seems to be an example--about its horrors ever since. "IT GOT OUR GOAT," as war did not our fore- fathers, for they kept silent a- bout it. If Mr. Mnkovski thinks that mostly cold steel, barbed arrows that hsd to be tom out, boiling oil, musket balls the size of shrapnel bullets. amputations with no anaesthctics and s rod- hot searing iron to complete the job, were not worse than nil the hell of modern warfare plus modern surgery and hospitals, he had better do s little reading about the old battles snd put his thinking cap on. No soldier with common sense ever goes to wsr with an over-expanded chest. He's got n tough duty on his hands, nnd he knows it. His loved ones "got cack" in the last war, snd they'l get more in the next, until every bombing nir- mnn caught is introduced to the rack. Possibly "Smouldering Rubbish" is a better name thun "The Burning Bush," since it would attract more attention to the column. But then I could make up several others so much better. What about uFlnmiug Rot," "Denatured Tripe," "Pif- fling Twaddle," "Insensate In- sanity," "The Mentsi Meander- ings of s hjsnisc,u "The Vapor- ings of the Vapid," etc.I In this connection I would recom- mend to my correspondent 8 estudy of the ejfectiveness of al- literation, always remembering, of course, that "s rose by any other name would smell as sweet," and so would 8 skunk cabbage, of which it is to be sincerely regretted Shakespeare had no knowledge. e It is noted that a safety of- flcer in Harrisburg, Ps., hss just delivered himself of the wise- crack that April showers bring forth "traffic ostriches," mean- ing pedestrians who bury their noses in their umbrellas snd cross roads regardless of motor traffic. I csn't defend this habit ss wise, for, while 8 pedestrian mny theoretically have the right of wsy, the motorist hss un- doubtedly the power to slay, and nobody wants an auto butting into him. Still, if the careless pedostrlnn is to be termed 0 IVe cannot compete with Europ- ean and other labor in the Brit- ish market; despite "preferenc- es" and propaganda. "Empire trade" always fails. Opposed to this situation is the natural eco- nomic unity of this continent. Canada requires Canadian thought devoted to Canadian interests, not Colonial subservi- ence, in the solution of hcr dif- flcuities. Antagonizing our neighbors will not help Canada. This type of criticism is 0 di8- tinct liability, especially when it is mitten in profound ignorance of Canadian nnd American af- fairs. Subsdsr, this is North Ameri- ca, not Europe. Yours very truly, ARTHUR J. SMITH. CORRESPONDENCE Editor, The West Van News. Dear Sir:--It woujd be unfor- tunate if the impression were created that the remarks of "Subsdsr" regarding American affairs are expressed by 8 Can- adian. Obviously they are either British or Colonial in origin. Any Canadian is aware of the fact that Canada owcs most of her development to United States capital and energy nnd that Canada'6 real interests are on this continent. (Vo know that Units(t qttn~ offers our greatest market; "Empire trade" plans, even if successful, could not hope to compensate Canada for the loss of U.S. business. Ail the Imperial propaganda, design- oed to divide this continent, can- not hide that fact. Co-operntion with the great- est market in the world, right at our door, offers more to Cnnndn than anything else in the world. J. B. Furniss wrote the coun- cil re condition of ronde st Horseshoe Bay. The council will make s personal inspection of these roads nt 0 date to be ar- ranged.

"traific ostrich," the careless motorist should be termed "s dinosaur," for he travels fast, tears men to pieces, and is cold- blooded. I hereby.so name him. u The newspaper reports of the hIscDonnld-Roosevelt conversa- tions have contained more than one warning against the public expecting too much from the parley. The reason for this is not fsr to seek, I.ooming like 8 black cloud at the back snd inextricably bound up with any real settlement of the internat- ional trade tangle is the matter of wsr rcpsrntions, snd Ger- many is taking no part in the conference at Washington.
