Thi< is the dav set apart by tho Govern- ment~of Canada for National Thanks- giving. It is our fifth Thanksgmllg Day since the War begéi} aYlddheMfirft ‘n which we could say wltn an) ihqlllallcf that peace 1-: definitely in sight. It‘ isbigifiii than probable that one of the great (m:- ings for which a ycai‘ hence. We shall ilc- votitly thank God will be that the war l: over and peace has come. )

There is" much to be thankful for. lei‘- haps the greatest today‘ that Canada has found her soul and has made an himoul'ilbl~' name for herself among the nations. Can- ada's sons have laid foundations upon which future generations will build“ to greater heighths of glory and of pZllTlUIl-‘Yll- For this alone We should gm’ gratdul *1“ humble thanks. _ a

For a bountiful harvest and the blessing- 0f a land into which n0 tyrant hoof has en- tered; for thc glorious deeds of our sons; for the honoured graves o1 our heroes; ior the much we have given out of the abund- ance receivctl and especially for the prom- ise of pcacc, we should todav return thanks to Almighty God. ‘ _

There will necessarily be no public ser- vices in the churches and the day will be observed quietly and becomingly in tric shadow of a war that we have won and in the winning of which we have paid our tiill share of the price.

LIA RH

If Ananias lived in Charlottetown today" and practised the profession that made hi ‘fl famous some twenty‘ centuries ago, he would be regarded as a mere amateur and his name would go no farther than his ob- ituary in the daily papers whichby" the Way. would probably have given him a respect-

able send off. The liar of today is a different type. He specializes in the kind of lies that hurt. For instance, during the past week the death of a number of citizens was reported and generally believed until the supposed victims themselves contradicted the re- ports. Why one should take any pleasure in circulating a story of this kind it would be difficult to imagine. There is trouble and sorrow enough in the world without need- lessly adding to it and the hurt is the same whether done through malice or ig- norance. All kinds of stories are also in circulation about the so called epidemic which if persisted in will lead to a veritable panic. As a matter of fact the “Spanish In- fluenza” here is simply the old fashioned grippe, probably a little more prevalent than ordinary, on account of unusual wea- ther, but no more liable to result in pneu- monia than any of the cases of grippe or cold we have had year after year at the change of seasons. Pneumonia is liable to follow any severe cold if necessary precau- tions are not taken; moreover it is-often in- fectious. These things known and sensibly guarded against the danger from pneu- monia, the only danger, will be reduced to the ordinary average if indeed it is really

higher than the average.

The epidemic of exaggerated and un- founded reports is more serious at present than the Grippe.

TH E “it R i Again the war news shows the dawn oil the coming peace. The capture of Le Cat-

ghborhood, reported in our despatches- yesterday was pcrhapsthe most important event since the first victory at the Marne. Le Cateau is within a short distance of; Landrcccs. a strongly fortified position. It, has been held by the Germans since Augi ust. 191-1, and, with the surrounding townsl held in bondage some thousands of civil-l ians who, during the four years since, have‘ practically been slaves to the Germans; With what joy‘ these unfortunatcs of the‘ ivar saw the‘ flags of the Allies for the first, time since the misfortune of that eventfi g August, may be more easily imagined than‘ described. .

The advance of the Allies eastward is now almost unimpeded. It is proceeding with the swing of victory and the retire- ment of the Germans is proceeding with the impetus of hopeless and irretrievable dc- feat.

It is not only on the western front that disaster is overtaking the Germanic Allies. The Austrians are getting it in Serbia, the Turks in Palestine, Bolshcviki in Russia and the Bulgarians are already‘ out of it. The speed with which the enemy is being drivcn from cvcry front points to the col- lapse of Germany" at a not far distant date. Only one thing now can delay the inevitable end, namely. digging in by the Germans so far back as to prevent their annihilation before winter sets in. This is only a possib- ility however and anything is posssible now. If the present rate of smashing goes on much longer there will not be enough of them left to dig in. .

In the meantime the Allies are not fig- uring on an early end. They have increased their munitions output enormously. The Americans are preparing two million more men to follow the 1,900,000 they now have in France. Conservation of food is still being urged and still being faithfully pr\"-

evident intention is to finish strong when- ever the finish may he brought about. X

Your job is to grub stake this world. That is what you are up against, and it is quite a job. You can do it. You have done it for four‘ years, and what was done then can be duplicated. ,

There is no such a thing as a food sur- plus in this world. The universe is living from hand to mouth as probably never be- fore in its history.

The stocks of food have been wiped out,

and the producers have been taken from the land in large numbers. The call to those remaining is much louder than ever be’- fore. It is more insistent, and its demands must be heeded. , The full dinner pail is but a memory for millions on this earth. It can be filled suf- ficiently to keep life going, but it can only be filled by you. It can't be done in Europe. It must be done here.

Not until the Hun is hammered into sub- mission, not until peace is declared, and commerce resumes its wonted way can we let up for a minute.
