CHRISTMAS IS CUMING
Already many of our people are preparing Christ-
mas gifts for the soldiers_‘ov__erseas and__we'have _no doubt that every soldier in Engia`nd~,`ii1 the trenches, in the hospitals, or a prisoner in Germany, who has left a Canadian home or who has ai Canadian friend at home, will be suitably remembered. And this is as it ought to bc. If ever the young men needed Christmas cheer it is now, and it will require a good deal of cheer to brighten this Christmas for many of them. Never- theless the cheer from home will reach all those \vho have homes or friends. And' the same kindlyremem- brances will be extended to our young men _in barracks at Charlottetown. T heir homes and their friends will remember them and'_many of them doubtless will have
l the privilege of spending their Christmas at home.
But' this should be remembered: There are soldiers
B ‘in England, in the trenches, innhospitals, in prisons in
Germany and even in the Barracks in Charlottetown from whose ho`mes, for various reasons, no presents
) will come. There may be among them those who have
no homes and whose friends are few. Christmas is _for these as well as for the others. They need it more than those do who receive their regular letters and their occasional gifts from home. It may be dillicult,
~ perhaps impossible, to locate these but the kindly spirit
of Christmas which at this season begins to glow in
i kindly hearts will suggest ways and means by which
those \vho, ordinarily, would have been forgotten, may
NOTES
Germauy’s failure to take Dvinsk and Riga is at-
tributed to a shortage of shells. Possibly also the fail- ure. was in part _due to an increase in the supply of Russian munitions. If the Germans are losing in the matter and the Russians are gaining at the same time the tables should soon be turned on the enemy.
greatest of all world dramas is still afar off. Com- plete German triumph lras been impossible since the battle of the 'Marne,~'but that has not prevented pro- longed German advances and many German victories. We have now entered a new phase of the war, a phase that must see the weakening of the enemy and the has- ‘ tening of the- end, but that end _means breaking the might of the enemy once and for all, and a heavier toll of sacrifice must still be paid before that is ac-
complished.
Canadians returning from England declare that an
extremely large proportion of the Germans who have been captured recently are of poor physique. This is `no_t surprising news. It is roughly calculated that the military men of a nation are ten per cent. of the popu- lation. ` This would give Germany about 7,000,000 soldiers, and if reports are to be believed that nuiiibcr has-long since been called to active service. The losses have been' in the millions, so that by _this time the Ger- mans must be falling back for recruits on the physical- ly inferior among the males. The organization may be working well but the material for the'ranks, which are being _thinned all the time, nrustibe' rowin ver
their resources in fit men. . ‘ _
