On land, the issue is more confused by reports and rumours of conflicting kind. It is known that Germany has control of Denmark and will profit by its banditry in that country in the way of supplies, especially in foodstuffs. It is admitâ€" ted that the Nazis are holding Oslo, the capital of Norway, and that many defenceless Norwegian towns have been bombed from the air. Reports from neutral sources suggest that some other Norwegian centres captured by the Nazi forces in the surprise raids of last week have been reâ€" taken by the Norwegians. There are unconfirmâ€" ed reports that British forces have been able to land at several strategic points and the Germans have been driven out of these places. It may be well not to place too much credence on these hopeful stories. It is possible that they have some foundation in fact, but the situation on land in this stage of the battle is not clear enough to warrant too wide claims of victory on land. There is reason to believe, nowever, that the Norwegians are holding the Germans in check and in some places forcing them to retreat. It is also definiteâ€" ly established that the Allies are sending â€"â€" or have sent â€" adequate forces fully equipped to Norway to assure the complete defence of that country from the gangsters. On the hopeful side, it should also be remembered that the command of the waterways means that the German forces already in Norway are isolated, The Nazis are debarred from sending them reinforcements or supplies. When the Allied forces get into action in Norway it will be only a matter of time until the German forces in that country are overcome. In the meantime those who have longed, for more action are seeing their expressed desires fulâ€" filled. In the seas around Norway and Sweden there is plenty of action these days. And that is mot the only action promised by circumstances and conditions.. It seems to be probable that within a short time Germany will be doing the very thing it has sought most strenuously to avoidâ€"fighting on a number of fronts, attacked from many quarters There is probability that the million fighting men of Britain and France a result it seems to be admitted now that the Gerâ€" man navy toâ€"day after only a few days in the open has been reduced to less than half its strength. On Friday semiâ€"official announcement at London and at Paris placed Germah naval losses as follows:â€"four cruisers, three destroyers, several submarines, over twenty troop ships, at least twentyâ€"three planes. In addition to this one German battleship, one cruiser and one desâ€" troyer were reported as badly crippled in engageâ€" ments in the northern seas. Then during the weekâ€"end further losses were reported as suffered by Germany, these latter including seven ships of war that had taken refuge in an inlet at Narvik. The British cruisers and destroyers entered the inlet, destroyed four of the German} ships and forced three others to flee. The three did not escape for long, however, for they were followed into another inlet where they had attempted to take refuge, and eventually destroyed by the Britâ€" ish naval boats. The orders of the British Adâ€" miralty are to the effect that every German naval vessel must be swept from the Baltic and adjaâ€" cent waters. The British navy appears to be carrying out orders in complete and effective way. The Germany navy is hemmed in with mine fields, and the vital ore route from Sweden and Norway has apparently been completely blocked. Only fragmentary news is being given out for obvious reasons. It might be well to discount or disreâ€" gard many of the reports and rumoursâ€"whether they are favourable or notâ€"but enough has been absolutely established to prove that on the water the Allies have won very decisive victory and Gerâ€" many has suffered losses that completely cripple that nation of thugs and gangsters, Canadaâ€"$3.00 Per Year TIMMINS, ONTARIO Members Canadian Weekly Newspaper Association; Ontarioâ€" Quebec Newspaper Association; Ciass "A" Weekly Grou» TWO PHONESâ€"26 and 2020 Published Every Monday and Thursday by: GEO,. LAKE, Owner and Publisher Subscription Rates: Those who found that story a good joke must admit now that the war has started in dead earnâ€" est, and that they will have no further complaint about lack of action and fighting on many fronts. The brutal, callous and conscienceless invasion of Denmark and Norway last week started the war on a large scale. In the effort to plunder and oppress Norway, the German navy found it necesâ€" sary to come out of hiding in some strength. As Czechoslovakia, Poland, Finland have had al the war that anyone could wish, but in Britain and France, and in Canada, there have been peoâ€" ple who have been voicing the thcught that the war was not being carried forward with the speed they desired. The stalemate on the Western Front irritated a great many good peopleâ€"even those in some neutral lands. It has been a fayâ€" ourite touch of sardonic humour to tell of the statesman addressing a group of soldiers and reâ€" ferring to the length of time that the war may continue. "We don‘t want to know when the war is going to end," one soldier is pictured hs crying out in interruption, "What we want to know is when the blooming war is going to start!"

Mackenzie King‘s apparent theory that the present war is exclusively a Canadian Liberal party venture, so, perhaps, The Telegram will not particularly object at this time to a friendly neutral expresâ€" sion of opinion in its war of the quotation. Hoyt‘s Cyclopedia of Practical Quotations is recognized as perhaps the most complete and dependable of all authorities on quotations. This massive book appears to favour The Telegram side of the battle. Long before Shakespeare credited the words to Wolsey, Bourdeille quoted Thomas Cromwell as saying to his keeper at the tower, according to Hoyt‘s book, "And, Master Kingston, this I will sayâ€"had I but served God as diligently as I have served the King, he would not have given me over in my grey hairs." It is interesting, however, to note that Hoyt‘s Book of Quotations also prints the words found in Ockley‘s History of the Saracens, referring to what was said in A.D. 673:â€""God curse Moawiyah. If I had served God as well as I have served him, he would never have damned me to all eternity." The Toronto Telegram is giving a modern verâ€" sion of this practice of making the apparently nonâ€"essential prove a relief from the stern news of war. The Telegram referred to the words of Thomas Cromwell:â€""If I had served God as I have served the King, he would not have given me over in my grey hairs." At once there was a storm of protest from readers, It was claimed that it was Cardinal Wolsey who voiced this lament. Shakespeare was quoted in support of this contention. The Telegram turns from wars and rumours of wars to calmly discuss the authorâ€" ship of the disputed quotation. The Telegram points out that the fact that Shakespeare puts the words in the mouth of Wolsey may} be set down to poetic license. "It is to a French hisâ€" torian and biographer," says The Telegram, "that the Cromwell claim is pinned. He travelled in England and saw Queen Elizabeth three years beâ€" fore Shakespeare was born. In his memoirs he quotes Thomas Cromwell as having said to his keeper while waiting to go to the block: "And, Master Kingston, this I will sayâ€"that had I but served God as diligently as I have served the King, he would not have given me over in my grey hairs." During the last war, neutral nations were torn between amazement and amusement when <the British newspapers appeared to completely sideâ€" track the war to centre the most serious discusâ€" sion on some topic that seemed of no importance in comparison with the dread issues of the war. In editorial columns and in letters to the press the presence of some bird or fish or game in some section would appear to completely overshadow talk of the war. A horse race or a football match, or a motion picture would seem to make the peoâ€" ple forget the war. The same thing has happenâ€" ed in this war. The truth is that it is the British secret of gathering strength, maintaining poise, and keeping some balance of things in an evil world. The historic example is that of Drake occupied for the time with his game of bowls, but turning from that to win the most decisive victory over the mightiest armada ever to threaten the shores of Britain. The present outlook for the Allies is the most promising it has been since the war began. It should be remembered, however, that Germany‘s strength has always rested in its armies and air forces. Until these are smashed the war will not be won. Indeed, the war cannot be truly won until the mistake of the last war is avoided and Germany suffers invasion and defeat and desâ€" truction within its own borders. When German cities are laid waste and the people of Germany see death and destruction in their own land, then the followers of Hitler will realize the evil of the war they now glorify. stationed in the East will be used on one front, supported by the strength of Turkeyâ€"and the Turks still must be reckoned with as among the most courageous of fighting men, and toâ€"day wellâ€"equipped and well led. On the Western Front there are broad hints that there will be marked activity there. Many look upon Gerâ€" many‘s attack on the Scandinavian countries as a mortal error. It seems automatically to have opened Naziland for attack on several sides. At the same time it has resulted in the crippling of Germany‘s naval power, thus further handicapâ€" ping her in a fight on several fronts. There is reason to believe that only desperation could have driven Germany to its latest example of murder and plunder. It may easily be that the "war of nerves‘"‘ has been too much for Germany. It is certain that the stalement on the Western Front had no vital effect on Britain or France. The Allies were prepared to carry on this policy indeâ€" finitely. . Germany had already suffered much from the blockade, however, and it appeared to be the last straw when Britain cut off the line of supply from Scandinavia.

In recent years it would appear that this enâ€" thusiasm has died of discouragement from outside sources, but the appointment of Mr. Nixon as Inâ€" dustrial Commissioner with orders to speed up the development of the lignite fields has revived hope and faith. Now, there is confidence not only that the lignite industry will prove an asset to the North and to Canada, but that the iron ore of the Belcher Islands will also be developed. There are visions of huge smelters arising in the North. It is to be hoped that these dreams eventuate, but while waiting for their fulfilment it would be well not to forget the possibilities of the development of the other industries, perhaps, not so important, but in any event apparently more assured. Unâ€" less the enthusiasm of such men as the late Otto Thorning and the late Mr. Stevens of Cochrane were entirely misplaced, there are valuable deâ€" posits of china clay, fire clay, gypsum and pther minerals that would be developed without proâ€" hibitive cost and to the decided advantage not only of the North, but of all Canada. cce m c i.A -vvv--vâ€"‘ Lc ieA Aualh sacd munists by shooting them as Qoon as they Werei policy of not being too neutral to the neutrals Mr. and Mrs. George R.
