Gaining Ground.. Some of the heaviest fighting of the campaign on the western front has taken place during the last few weeke in the "labyrinth" and its vicinity. The most de sperate forts of the Germans at this point have failed to stem the tide of attack and thousands of Gorman lives have been saorificed to no purpose. The French
Erowitness

In twenty-five minutes the Germans lost three thousand. killed A change has come over the acene since last August and early September. Then the Ger mans were having the war all their own way. France was un- ready, Britain was numerically negligible and the small Belgian army had been shattered after a mot gallant resistance against overwhelming odds. Now the boot is on the other leg.

Looking Backwards.
It is seven hundred years ago to-day since Magna Charta weg signed. Yet so d'amely are the paat and the present interwoven. in our national life that it can with truth be affirmed that we owe to the armed Barons who forced the King's hand at Ranny mede on June 15th, 1215, some of the fandamer til liberties upon
the possession of which we pride ourselves to-day. Indeed, it is only a few months ago that Lord Pormoor successfully invoked the provisions of the Great Charter when opposing a clause in the De- fence of the Realm Act that con ferred upon the authorities power to try Civilians by Court Martial and, as a consequence, obliged the Government to introduce an amendment restoring to British subjects, their inalienable right to be tried by a jury in the Civil Courte, Based on the Charter granted by Henry I., which drew. its inspiration from the gcod {old laws of Edward the Con« fessor, Magna Charts holds a conspicuous place in history both by reason of its comparative com- pleteness and beoance it was arung from a reluctant monarch by a class who had hitherto been the willing agents of the Crown insuppressing Saron caroms.

The Trade War with Germany. The whole of the ores of zinc, lean, and silver from the mines of Australia, the richest in the world, are, ander contract, sent to Germany for reduction. The Australian Attorney-General stat ed that German influenca ex~- ercised a monopoly over the world's base metal industry so complete that it excluded effective competition.
These are facts of so vitally important a character that they must be taken cognisance of by. British commercial men both at Home sad in the Colonies. It was Germany's remark- able commercial expansion that opened up to her a vists of world. wide domination-an expansion that was, anhappily, assisted by the much too easy-going methods of the commercial men of other countries. It is costing the lives of thousande of men and tha expenditura of millions of money to remedy the evil. In prepara= tion for the prace that must inevitably come we must strike at Germany's economie soures and cripple her so effectually that never aga'n ehall the terror of barbariem arise to impede the progress of Democracy,
