' THE GREAT DRIVE

Now that the long expected German

drive has started there will naturally be a_ good deal of anxiety while it_lasts- what- ever. its length may be. While we know that the Germans have made every pre- paration for this drive and are prepared to make limitless sacrifices to attain their ob- ject there is good reason to believe our Al- lied armies are prepared for them. It is quite possible that our troops may- be ob- liged at the outset to yield ground; this has been the history of all offensives since the war began, whether launched by our troops or by the enemy. The forces attacked are at a disadvantage at the outset as theat- tackers choose their own ground, but when it settles down to actual fighting the ad- vantage remains with the stayers, witn the ' bull dog that cannot and will not let go. This has been the characteristic of the Bri- tish army in all its battles; it can back so . far but no farther.

Our military authorities have warned us

that there may be some retirement at the . outset and if our despatches of the next few days tell of such there should be no pessimism. Our generals know how far they may safely retire to save their men and a few miles more or less of ground either gained or lost counts for little. It is position and staying power that counts.

V - _There is good reason to believe that the

Allies hold the mastery in the air and no doubt aeroplanes will play an important part in the present drive. We must not suppose however that the Germans have

heavens as our recent despatches would seem. to indicate. They have not been idle during these days of comparative qui-et. They were fully prepared for the drive and have launched it at the time and place of their own choosing.

, 1

That thebattle will be fierce, and pos

sibly long we may be prepared for; that we shall win out we may rest assured of. I

troops. Sir George Foster told the House of Commons a few days ago o_f ocean servi- ces from Canadian ports being cut to pie- ces because of demand for vessels for more urgent -purposes. Between British re- quirements, the need of troopships for the United States, and our own sea transport, there does not seem to be much chance of

` ordinary commercial routings for vessels

capable of war service.

The Canadianpeople will be delighted

if ships belonging to this country are free-

_` .- ly turned to the highly important war ser- i,, '_~‘.;- ° ' '

vice of getting United States troops to France. The United States has a sea trans- -port task far beyond the capacity of its own merchant marine. Representative Caldwell, of New York, gave out figures in Congress that `show the purpose of the Washington authorities to move across the sea at least 10,000 troops a day. In the lirst ten days of May, 90,000 troops were sent over. By about July or August, it is ex- pected that the half-million or more troops now in France will be built up to a million. A movement of 300,000 men a month ac- ross three thousand miles of water, much of it infested with submarines, has to be _ supported by all possible resources, and the Canadian vessel tonnage mentioned would be helpful.

This contribution of tonnage, out of a

service greatly reduced by requisitions for ' British military purposes, is direct aid for our own men along the Lens-Arras front. __The United States troops going overseas flare the factor which» it is hoped, will turn . the scale of war finally and decisively for fthe Allie. _

)O( im ni' on sonuiiiit

I Statisticians have estimated that the

_ mortality among men at the front is twen- . t in every thousand, or two por cent. The ,` dyeath rate among babies in the United _ States before they reach their first birth- f day is one hundred and forty in every 'I thousand or fourteen per cent. We have _no reason to believe that the mortality l among infants in Canada is any less than in the United States. According to these

to escape .the perils of babyhood may find some satisfaction, on_ enlisting for military service, in the fact that the worst. is over.

While it is not creditable to our civili-

zation that, in order to make the world safe for democracy, it is necessary to kill off two in every thousand of those engaged in the salvage, it is still less creditable that our ignorance or neglect or crime should cause the death of one hundred and forty.

Except possibly-among the fishes, whose

families run into- the millions and whose young become the prey-.of myriads of other fishes, there is no such mortality as among the human young. Nothing like the hu- man death rate above mentioned is to be found among our domestic animals. In the latter case death from natural causes in in- fancy is comparatively rare. Does it not look as if, while niaking\the world safe for democracy, an effort should also be made to make democracy safe for the world?

Physicians inform us that a very large

proportion of the deaths in infancy are pre- ventible- that very many of them are tra- ceable to known causes such as unhealthy environment, improper feeding, ignorance and neglect. It is true that- the human in- fant is the most helpless of all young but it is also true that the human parent is sup- posed to be endowed with sufficient intelli- gence to care for the young. It is as natu- ral for the human young to live as for the young of’ other 'animals and, given a chance, they would live. This would ap- pear to be one of the reforms needed in our manner of living. War is a terrible scourge but when we remember that we have been enduring for ages a greater scourge, the horrors of the latter should begin to be felt especially now, while -we are being so im- pressed with those of the former.

___ 0 l__ GERl\IANY).~\g'D RUSSIA

According to the latest cables Germa-

ny is making use of the chaotic economic conditions in Russia to increase her own in- fluences and control over the financial and commercial institutions of that country. Russian capitalists and corporations are threatened wth ruin and see no escape ex- cept to` sell their property to the Germans. Meanwhile the Germans continue to ad- vance into Russian territory and to stretch out their hands for everything of value, which, if not yielded through persuasion, is taken by force. If Russia had been ac- tually beaten to her knees the terms on which she is permitted to live f‘at peace” with Germany could scarcely have been more humiliating. '

Not content with taking a territory ol'

over 120,000 square miles from Russia, Germany demands more of Russian soil, and is demanding also important trade concessions. For instance, there is a sti- pulation for the free entry of all her pro- ducts into Russia, by which she means that the Russians shall buy nothing from any- body which Germany can supply. To guar-' antee this Germany is to have command of Russia’s greatest export and Germany’s most urgent need, wh-eat, for fifteen years. Remembering that these are the minimum demands and yet reduce to slavery all that part of Russia which the German revolu- ' tionary agents, Lenine and Trotzky can pretend to deliver, it was but to be expec- ted that with these terms granted, control of the Baku oilfields would be demanded also.

What then will remain of Russia? Her

trade will be absolutely Germanized. The reign of liberty and license, which the cra- zy Socialist leaders have promised vanish- es into thin air. A commercial tyranny like this necessarily nvolves an industrial tyranny, while the monopoly of the wheat export, which will, of course, pay tariff du'- ties at the German border, brings the agra- rian population of Russia under the yoke. People must indeed be blind and disorga- nized when they can purchase peace at the price of such a slavery as this. 1

The new German Gotha is said to have

three engines, each of 300 horse-power, and accommodates nine passengers. The time may be coming in aviation when ma- chines willhave six or eight'or ten engines, lifting machines large enough to carry a military company. Aviation is yet but in its youth. 1

Out in Kansas they have found out or

devised 101 different ways of preparing _potatoes as food. This is no theory. The girls of the home economics department of the Topeka High School actually did it a few days ago. They prepared an all pota- to dinner, and the guests survived and kept their appetites up to the cigars. But it was
