THE UNFIT AND THE UNWILLING .\s stated elsewhere in this paper, card certificates have been issued by the ofiicers of the io5th for those who have made application to join the regiment and have been rejected on account of inability to pass the prescribed medical tests. These card certificates can he had by those entitled to them on application at the tlrderly Room at the Arinouries. who failed to pass the somewhat severe test prescribed by those who do not know why they have not enlisted. The card will he a sort of certificate of character tha may he produced when needed. lt is no disgrace to have a pliysieal defect, but it has come to the time with khaki. This is the mental attitude of the whole Brit- ish Empire to-day; it is the mental attitude, slowly ar- rived at in this province and in this city, that the man who is physically fit and of military age is untrue to his own iiianhood \vho is not attached to one or another of the units"oii military service. It has been found necessary io issue the card certificates above mention ed for those who tif/'car to be physically fit and are not 'Dlllfy and CON Sl0l'i1g¢ C0l1'lIIllSSi0ilCf Of Cullflflfl. iii order to save them from the stigma, now little if any short oi' a crime, of being regarded as slackers or ~hirkers. Tltat there are slackers and sliirkers still anfong us cannot he denied. It is currently reported that sev- eral young men, apparently fit for military service, have applied for :i Government position recently mad service. \\'t- hope the report is not true. \Ve hope no young man eligible and fit for military duty would have the gall to apply for a position so vacated, and we hope that, if such application has been made to the tiovernment, it \vill be promptly turned down, and w feel assured that it shall be. There are, of course, ex- idle- AS a rlzsult they have no lidle land. Every field ceptions to every rule and governments and other em- ployers of labour mustbe governed by the circum- stances. lt is quite possible that a physically fit and otherwise eligible young man might be prevented from the sole support of a mother or sister or other depend ants; he may be so situated that enlistment would be a crime against those whom he is in honour bound to young man. lint goveriitneiits and other employers of labour can iiiake it a rule to investigate every applica- tion aiid having done so, should deal with it in a inan- ncr that will not put a premium upon shirking the su- preme duty of the hour. ` The call for men is an imperative one and all men encouraged to shirk their duty by letting them slid into the positions vacated by men. ---=-lx( THE WAR Official reports of continuous fighting in the West- crn zone of activities more or less successful on the part of the Russians and a growing casualty list, with rumours--few_of them reliable-of intended moves on the part of the Germahs, constitute the war story of the past week or two. There have been attacks and counter-attacks, with little effect upon relative posi- tions, a number of Turkish vessels destroyed in the Black Sea, and some minor activities among siibmaré ities. Tlic-tlircatericd _attack by Germans on the Allied. _ position at $§iloiiikf'l1_'rtia"ii'ot 'yet materialized andthe -opinion `now"frcely expressed is that the threat was only German bluff to keep the 2oo,ooo- Allied troops there from going somewhere else. _ _ _ ` » fWhile-there is- little, if any, change in the relative _positions of the armies there is__quite _a-not_i_cepbl_e_ change in German bluster and in 'Gerrnany's attitude on the continuance of the war.
