. Apart from th-egreat drive on_ the west- ern front, whereiGeneral Foch is steadily driving the Germai_is back, and,_ better still, destroying their army, capturing their guns and munitions, and getting possession of the railways, the most significant news now comes from Russia. There the Czecho- Slovaks, who have steadily been resisting the encroachments of 'the _Germans, have_ been recognized by the British _government and the Allies as a friendly nation! a mem- ber of the great family of free nations now waging war on the Central Powers.
This spells the doom of the German
dreamin Russia; it makes a “scrap of pap- er’~'f of the Brest-Litovsk treaty which con- cluded a _ rotten German peace with the rottenest German element in the disorgan- ized Russia of a few months ago. Aided by. British, American, Japanese, Canadians the Czechs will, it is now hoped, put an end once for all to German intrigue in Russia; will compel, Germany either to fight o_r quit in Russia. That she will fight is indicated in our despatches of yesterday, but it will be against a re-organized and reinforced Russia, Once more this will remove the pressure from the western front and hast- en the end there. .
The power of the Bolshevists is _every-
where declining, and it is doubtful whether their rule now runs anywhere far beyond Moscow. Lenine and Trotzky, a precious pair of pro-Gorman rascals, have been de- nounced, evcn in Moscow itself, for acting in collusion with Berlin. Meanwhile, Alli- ed forces, with the support of the Russian local population behind them, have landed at Vladivostok and Archangel, are occupy- ing the Murman coast, and are stretched along the Murman‘railway. The Finns are uneasy under German domination, and the Germans have found it necessary to in- crease their forces iii Finland, In Southern Russia the Germans are steadily pusliing forward and meeting with no organized opposition. They are advancing to_\vai'=.ls the Caspian Sea, and "have covetous eyes fixed upon the Caucasus. Behind them, however, is the restless population ,of the Ukraine, which carries on a desultory but dangerous guerilla warfare, which refuses to sow the land that the Germans may har- vest the crops, and which has hitherto pre- vented the Germans achieving their hope
of food supplies from the country.
Our yesterday’s despatches indicate that
the'Germans are finding temporary stand- ing places at certain sections along their line of retreat. This was expected, but the losses they have sustained in men, guns and material will be a serious hindrance to them, and will greatly reduce their fighting strength. Nevertheless' they are not yet sufiiciently beaten to enable them to un - d-erstand peace terms. The process must still 'go on, and the final strokes must be de- livered east of the Rhine. Already some of these strokes have been delivered from air- planes. giving the Germans at home some idea of what war means, some idea~ of what British and French cities have suffer- ed at the hands of the Germans, and some idea also of what peace would mean, par-
ticularly to the Germans.
AN INJUSTICE
There are many difliculties in conection
with the running of a war of the dimen- sions of the present one, many even in con.- ne_c_tion with the share in it of such a little province as Prince Edward Island. Some of these are unavoidable and must be put up with; others are clearly preventible, and steps should immediately be takeirtc
grevent them. One of the latter was rought to our attention yesterday when a_ young man from far west of Summerside was obiged to come to Charlottetown in response to a military summons ordering him to report here for re-examination. -- .-v5I‘his young man had previously been ex- unlined and.placed in category B on account » 'o£=a iight physical defect. No objection, isliftil _ ' to the order requiring re-examin- a#§dn,,wh»ich is perfectly regular, but objec- ‘

This is clearly unfair. Whilethe re -
cru-its are ordered to come to the Medical, Board at Charlottetown, instead of sending the Medical Boa.-rd to, centres in the differ- int counties, was intended to save the coun- ';ry’s expenses, it entails a much greater _r xpe_nse upon the country, through these individuals. _ . -The government should strongly protest, igainst this system and insist upon having the Medical Board visit the different cen- ~;res in the other counties as formerly.

Without definite figures of the strength
of Von_Hutier We merely can assume that three army corps are under his command. Considering the reduced size of German divisions _in these times it may be estimat- zd that his force would hardly exceed 140,- f)00 men. O_ver 34,000 have been captur- ed. Casualties_have been heavy, and there _s reason to believe that Von Huti~er’s total psses may reach one-half of his effectives. .Jount also upon_the confusion that will be _zaused by the vigor of the attack, by the “ieavy loss of artillery and supplies, by the
iculties of the retreat. The reserves that
n should they succeed in stemming the iursuit, the_ enemy will come into his rear- Tuard_p_ositions in a shattered state. All* he military genius of Von Hutier and of _he high command will be needed in a cris- s of such asperity. _ I_t used to be believed that a regiment osing 10 per cent. of its effectives was use- ess. _That is the origin of our English vord decimated,” which is commonly used is a synonym for “destroyed” The pres- ~nt war has shown us that “decimation" is he common lot_. Losses must reach a much iigher proportion now before a military init is rendered inedective. But even Ger- ians must consider as grave a loss that ap- »i'oaches one man out every two. _Phe enen_iy’s hope of “forcing a decision his year” is ended. Two blows such as hose at Chateau 'I‘hiei‘ry and Montdidier
‘re not to be countered save by months of ireparation. -

_We do not know, says the Mail and Eni- llI`€, if many men in Class One who were -Xeiiipted because of the importance of hell’ W01`k h§1Ve been engaged in strikes or iave othervvis_e failed to carry on the con- litions of their exemption. But the Gov- _ _=rnn_ient_ would have Justice and reason on 'ts side if it_ provided for the cancelling of he -exemptions of all Class One men who _lo,not fulfil the agreement of continuous abor at theoccupation which earned them _he exemption. The intimation by Hon. Ir. Crothers, Minister of Labor, that such 1 policy may be adopted ought to warn hose who value their exemptions. This _“iethod_ of dealing with strikes and other _libor disturbances in essential industry is fiecoming more favored 'as industrial un- _‘est upsets the home war machinery._ It i_rought the Coventry and other recent 'inglish strikers to tiine. Most of them __/-ere liable for service. The American _work or_ fight” order, compelling all men n the military ages to be in 'essential oc- cupations or fight _is_ based on the same idea. The man whois by law liable to be drafted should consider himself very lucky if his technical skill makes him of more im- po_rtance at home, where he avoids all the trials and dangers of a soldier’s life. As advertisements by the Munitions Board have intimated, the Governments of the Allies are concerned to have great increas_ es in ammunition and other war supplies, for the Entente armies are about to be much enlarged, and will be engaged con- Ufll1011S1.V in giant offensives, requiring un- heard-of quantities of shells and other mat--1 erial.
