Jellicoe’s Report
An Interesting One.

Admiral Jellicoe has reported to the Canadian Government
in regard to the needs of the country from a naval point of view

and the report has been Jaid before Parliament
for the people of the country to decide whether of not they want |
a navy and if they want it, how much money they will spend
on it. It is to be assumed that the matter will be left in abeyance |

It will now be

campaign in order that the people may be completely informed

From an efficiency point of view it may be

better to contribute to an Imperial navy, but the Canadian people

To have war ships does not mean much to a country unless

she is in a position to man them.

A navy is not made, it grows.

There has to be a building force behind it, but the navy consists

terrible days of 1918. Yet there is
no disguising the fact that everyone
should be on their guard against the
disease.

In Montreal alone, from January
20th to lebruary 2ist, three thousand,
one hundred and twenty-two cases of
Influenza and 189 deaths from the
disease were reported to the Health
Department.

lf the outbreak had come at the
beginning of the winter instead of
the end, we might reasonably feel
that the very cold weather would
check the spread of the disease. But
coming as it has, at the end of the
winter, there is grave fear that an
epidemic may occur. For spring,
with its slush and rain under foot
its dampness and chill, its constant
changing from cold to warm and
back again, is a prolific source of
coughs and colds, pleurisy and
pneumonia, ,

The best protection, in fact, the
only safeguard against the ’Flu, is,
