' 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-
” V ` . .
  _` .- 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.

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

three engines, each of 300 horse-power,

time may be coming in aviation when ma-
chines willhave six or eight'or ten engines,
