' On this, the 25th anniversary Of the Armis- tice which terminated the First Great Vllar, our soldiers oi a younger generation are engaged in fighting the same old foe, the same spirit of rtitltlcssttcss, t ‘army znttl aggression. It is our hope that tl". . titne tlte victory will be complete and final. at least for generations to come, and that lltc “brotherhood of titan, the federation of the world" will be brought tneasttrably flea-u‘.

The hlctiin Gilli} bears the ntintes 0f 7.02.1 who fell in llclgitttti. the Yitny hiemorial those of 11.135 wlto fell in France.

On this lit-tnetttbrance Day, it is worth re- calling some of tlte experiences of our soldiers in the last war. Sir Philip Gibbs, in the intro- duction to a volume of his war despatches of i917, that. describes a scene which must have it is the Ypres Salient, drenched with August raps:

"All this port of Flanders is intersected by small strmtns or 'ltrcle.t', filtering through the stallcvs betwccti thi- ridgcs, and our artillery- fire had cttusrd them to form ponds and stvtunf’: by dcsttvrviatg lhcir channcls so that they slop- pad we: thc lair-lying ground. The rain en- lgrged this area of flood, and so saturated the cloycyt soil t/mt it become a ‘vast bog ‘with deep crucrbrir-tntittg pits rt-ltcre thousands of shcll craters had pierced the earth. Tracks mode of wooden slabs fastened together were the only roads by uthiclz men and pack-mules could cross Ulis quagmire, and each of these ways become vhpcd out by the enemy’: artillery, and fiery pirilous. They were slippery under moist mud, and mm cmd mules fell into the bogs an either

c, and sontctimes drowned in them. At night it the darkness and the storms it was hard to find the tracks and difficult to keep to them, and long columns of troops staggered and sluntblod forutord ivitlt mud up to their knees f they lost direction, and mud up to their neck: if they fell into the s/ttll-ltoles. It was over such ground as this. in such intolerable conditions, that our otcn fought and ‘won their any across the chain of ridges ‘which led to Passchendoele. . .

"The broken skeleton of Ypros teas always in the forcgrotutd or the background of this scene of ‘war, and cticrv day it changed in dif- ferent otntos/iltcric phases rind different hours of light so that it too: rte-err the some in its tragic bcottlv. Sonzctintcs it was filled tuith gloom and shadows, and the tattered ntosonry of lllt‘ Clo/h llttll. lop/ind off at the top, stood lilac/c as g/rrntitr rtborc its /lcso11lc' battldcr- strczt-tt sqittirt‘.

It was along such ways as this that men could sittg. and poets could write: "Now God be thank- ed tt-ho hos nmlt-hrtl HS toil/i this ltour!" Like an echo of that tlattntless litie of Rupert Brooke were the inspired speeches of Prime Minister Churchill during the darkest days of the pre- sent conflict. _

We ntav be sure of one thing, that the sacri- fice and ltcroistit of those whose metnory we honour today was ttot in vain. It passed into the spirit of our gallant lads who are now fight- ing in Italy attd elsewhere, and who in turn are writing their names high on their country's hottour roll.

Time For A Change

The strong resolution passed at the annual meeting of the Queen's County Progressive Con- lervative Association with regard to the com- parative lack of _war contracts, and the result- ing loss of our young people to other provinces who are not eligible for military service, states facts which arc incorttrovcrtible. It is well to have such facts on record, even though the powers that be seem quite indifferent to cen- sure. or to the claims of this Province in any shape or form.

The loss of our farmers’ livestock market in Newfottndluttd is another case in point. Irt

condemning the King Government's partlci - tion in this embargo, the resolution notes t this market has been the most valuable outlet for Island surplus cattle and sticker pigs. 1n justice to Premier Jones it may be said that he has been seeking to have this market restored. But the King Government shows as little in- clinatiort to heed recommendations from the

Campbell administration.

What we need at Ottawa is representative: with backbone and initiative, and a government headed by a man like Hon. john Bracken who knows what e farming Province like Prince Edward Island, requires, and stands for a square deal for all.

The dentifrice manufzictttrers of Great Bri- tain have organized a campaign to induce peo- ple to hand back their used tooth-paste tubes when they btty fresh ones. The proceeds are given to the Red Cross and St. John Fund, and so far the amount thzts realized is $25,000. Iti addition to benefiting the Red Cross a consid- erable quantity of non-ferrous metal is‘ re- covered for the manufacture of munitions, and this is of special importance to the country since the Japanese occupation of the tin llffidttll- ing areas of the Far East. ~

Russian youths ate ahead of otirs in educa- tional facilities and opportunities. Evening schools have been opened for young Soviet workers wishing to continue their general edit- cation, as from October 1st. There are tnorn- ing and afternoon courses for shift workers. These schools, staffed by qualified secondary school teachers, are organized on or near fac- tory prcmises in all towns and workers settle- ments. Th: period for studies is nine hours a week, 48 weeks a vear. There is an additional nine hours a week for personal tuition for young workers who want it. Books and equip- ment are supplied hyglte authorities.

Good recov- eries are tnade within four or five weeks sometimes even within a few days, says an army authority. Out of o5 such cases treated at the front within sound of the guns by Maior Han- son and Major Louis Tureen, 6o were able to fireturtt to combat duty Wlllllll four days. Of those 50, as many as i4 were checked after three weeks to see how they were doing. All but five had been hard fighting and were per- forming adequately.

Mr. G. W. Spinney, C.M.G., President of the bank of Montreal does not think he is num- bering himself among the starry-eyed and itn- practical optimists when he declares that itt the post-war period, thouglrthe "patriotic" urge to save would disappear, the “basic" instinct to save would discontinue. In other parts of the world there were vast areas scarcely yet touch- ed by the products of modern invention, Mr. Spinney added. Until the millions of people

desire," worry about lack of markets and op- portunities was unnecessary, he said. "Nor do l think that as nations we need to start eyeing each other uneasily as post-war competitors in rt restricted world. It will be our task to en- deavor to rebuild a world in which the ordinary day-to-day processes of commerce and enter- prise will be forever pushing beyond interna-

tween men of different nations, undertakings great and small may be initiated in confidence and in which promises m: y be fulfilled in honor and in safety. The rewards of success are‘ dazzling. The cottscrptences of failure are too bleak even to contemplate,” be concluded.

It ll like old time: to read that the Croix de Guerre has been s.- warded to 15 Canadian soldiers who fought at Dleppe. and to know that this is a decoration they can receive with pride and wear with honor. There was a time, after June, 1940. when French awards were in low repute. and even the once-coveted Legion of Honor was being cast aside by recipients. This award and others had been debased by the men of Vichy. But. other Frenchmen, nobler in ideals. are re- storing these honors to their right- ful plaoe, and their gesture in shar- tmz them with their Canadian com- rades-in-arms is appreciated. —- Windsor Star.
