FACING THE WAR FACT

Slrz- A Saskatchewan news- paper of recent date gives much space to suspected German activi- ties in that. Province. The article litdlcates-that we may have a fight right at home with “Fifth Col- umn" workers. We may rest 8S- sured they are at work plotting and irlannltxg, There's entirely too much uatnby- pamby, popsy-wopsy kind of treatment to those alien mal- contents by our administration of Justice department, public officials and the rank and file of our peo- ple. Those pepole do not tinder- stand anything but the religion of force. "Force without stint or lim- it," as President Wilson said when the U. S. entered World War No 1. There has been too much self- as- surance and complacency in our admmlstration. Otir war cabinet seemed more concerned with winn- lntz the election than dOlng or causing to be done our proportion- ate par-t to help win the war. The Montreal Gazette, Winnipeg Free Press, Toronto Globe and Mall, etc,. are figuratively "bearing their hair" now —The majority will say "The devil's cure to them.” Such omniscient oracles should have been able to discern that the ad-

XIILHISIFIIUOR was in a state of smug com accncv - shilly - shallylng, c Iallilitgz. -A whole lot of

There's only one outcome in sight for us, and that l5 nctory --any other ls un- tlnnkable. Their Blitzkrelg, coupl- ed wtrh the lowest, most unscru- pulous moral principles of waging war has had a momentary success -a Pyrrhic success. According to our observers they have lost 5 to 1 tn both planes and men. They can't keep that up long —Word has just. come of the glorious re- treat from Belgium and Northern France through Dunkerque.

It was on a much larger scale 1nd executed more quickly than the great re- Ireai- lrom Mons in 1914 or Wel- lmttioifs exploits at Corunna and 'I‘ori'es Vedrns in or about 1811. ’l'liis_ is not. the first retreat, or s, Bl'lll$ll Army.
