The Poison Gas Bogey

A Soviet news agency reports the capture on the Russian front of secret documents and chcitiiczll ctptiptitcnt. indicating that the Nazis are platmiug to use IJLIiSOII gas. The documents coittrtititvl cztrvfttlly elaborated instructions 0n gas tcchrtitgttc zutrl tactics, including forlns of zlppliczttioti of chvttiicztl ammunition for trench ntortars and utittvs. .-\ll this, however, is “old stuff".

There Is strong evidence to sup- port a suspicion whch ha; elcstecl In this country fcr some tune that the Germans are deliberately bimb- ing civilians in owupied territory so as to give the impressnn that the RAJ-K are the culprits. By this means, they hope, ‘no doubt. to create bad feelings against Great Britain. and so make the defeated countries-and particularly France -mcre willing to co-Lperate with their German masters. Actual proct is naturally most difficult to obtain. but. there is such a chain 0f cu‘- cumrtantiat evidence by this time as to seem conclusive. A resident of Brest, on his arrival in Lisbon, from France, stated that it had often been noticed that. air raids which began on the port. were renewed, after an interval of about half an hour, on the residential areas of the town itself. whereas the firs-l raid damaged only the pert and ship- ping, the second caused cznlder- able damage to houses and heavy casualties among the clvlian pop- ulation. splinters picked up in zhe town on the mornings after the raids were found to be 0f German manufacture. - Birmingham Mall.

The great Earl of Balfour (Arthur James Balfour) born this date 1843. lildest sou of James Maitland Balfour of “lhittittgcltauie. Haddingtonshire, and Lady Blanche Cecil, daughter of the 2nd Marquess of Salisbury. Formed one of the famous Fourth Party, fortu- ed to inject “giltgcr” into the-Conservative Party when his uncle Lord Salisbury was Prime Min- ister. Later he became Leader of the Party and was famous for his sang froid under the most trying circumstances \\'ltile a keen and success- ful politician and statesman, above all hc was a philosopher and psychologist. and chose his course and framed his policy always with a view to ultimately doing good to the greatest number, not necessarily for the present but for the fu- ture. He joined Mr- Asqutlfs coalition, and when Mr. Asquitlfs “wait and sec" policy fail- ed, he gave his support to Mr. Lloyd George, and became Foreign Secretary. It was his diplo- macy brought the U. S. into the war, and he wrote ‘most of the correspondence to enemy countries at the time of the Peace Conference, though strongly opposed to President Wilson's then peace-at-any price policy-

The Quebec Premier, the Hon. Adelard Gzdbout, in his radio broadcast, after thanking his coin- patricts for their splendkl support to the Victory Loan, put the issue of recruiting squarely before the youth of the province. The coun- try ls calling for 32 000 volunteers for Canadrfs act-Ive army, but. the campaign which is being drected to bring these men ta the ctlors is lagging. Mr Godboufs fighting speech, therefore, is timely. and his arguments are so compelling that his plea should immediately be effective. stressing the need to "save the peace of the world, the integrity of our hcmes. the permanence of our institutions, our liberty of conacence", he urged the youth of the prov- ince, and Canadians of all origins, to answer their country's call and volunteer to share the task at th‘s moment of danger when the Dominion: destiny is at. stake. Already by tlrusands. the Premier added. "cur own people have answered the call". but. thou- sands more are needed to atop the march of barbarians and save Christian civilization. Confidence is justified that Mr Godbouvs ringing appeal. seconding that of Cardinal Villeneuve w‘11 bring a big response and give the recruit- ing campaign results which here- tofore have been slow to come. - Montreal Gazette. ,

In his recently published Berlin Diary, Mr. William Shirer gives three reasons for the Ger- man morale thus far. First, the political unifica- tion of the Germans, which Frederick, Bismarck and Wilhelm had failed to achieve but Hitler had succeeded in, had given the people a sense of strength. “For most Germans this is an end in itself, for to be strong in their scheme of life is to be all.~" Second, they felt they had avenged the terrible defeat of 1918 and at last secured their place in the sun. Success in establishing the New Order was going to mean more of the tnilk and honey of the world to them. That this would of necessity be obtained at the expense of other peoples did not bother them in the least. Third, they support a war for which they never had any enthusiasm because of a growing fear of the consequences of defeat. “Slowly but sure- 1y the)’ are beginning to realize the frightful rfgrlllil llrlethlgzglgérgglnxg lzuntg
