The way to win the war is the way the British are following. Working, fighting, striving! Marâ€" shallng all the mighty resources of the Empire And its resources. Every man, every class, every section, every area giving of its best, with confidâ€" ence that with the full strength of those who cherish freedom and the right there is no quesâ€" tion of the outcome. Despite the reverses that have occurred from time to time, Britain and her Allies are better placed in every way toâ€"day to march on to victory than at the opening of the There are some newspapers that are making a specialty at the present moment of emphasizing the fact that it is possible for Britain and her Allies to lose the war. Just what is to be gained by this procedure it is difficult to say. The wayfaring man may be forgiven if he cannot see any difference between this sort of propaganda and ordinary paid fifth column stuff. Even British morale can scarcely be strengthened by howling, "It is posâ€" sible to lose the war "_ One thing is certainâ€"the enemy can not win this war. If all the resources of men, money, material, and above all, of spirit, of the British Empire are brought to bear, the war will be won. It may take years, but the war will be won, and it cannot be won by the enemy. It might be well to get that straight and certain. The only way to lose the war, is to give it away. That can be done in a score of ways. One way would seem to be the method of saying over and over again, Coue style, "it can be lost! it can be lost!" J "WWV There is a shopworn old saying about people sbeing unabie to see the forest for the trees. It would not be well for the people to forget the soldiers on account of the war. There is such a tendency. For example the demand for free transportation for soldiers on leave appears to have lessened in many quarters. People believe just as much as they ever did that it is a disgrace to the government that the soldiers have to pay their own way homeâ€"especially for last leaveâ€" while the government has so much money to waste on nonâ€"essentials like the census and that unnecessary railway station at Montreal. The people think as they did before but they simply have gotten tired of saying so. They shouldn‘t get tired. With the people tired, and the governâ€" ment tired, the situation would be desperate if the soldiers became tired also. The people should remember the soldiers here at home, and fight for them, even if there is a war on. In the same way the soldiers overseas should not be forgotten in the calls of the war in Europe and in Africa. There are some ways in which the soldiers overseas stand in no danger of being forâ€" gotten, no matter how many wars there may be. There are all the relatives and friends who think more of the soldiers than they do of the war. There is the Red Cross and the Salvation Army and the Canadian Legion and the other organizaâ€" tions that never seem to tire in seceing to the welâ€" fare and the comfort of the soldiers overseas. In the broad lines the soldiers will not be forgotten. It is in the smaller things that there may be some oversight, and it is the small things that loom large in the eyes of the men who have to face big issues. The other night there was a radio programme "from somewhere in England or Scotâ€" land." The Canadian soldiers were given the opâ€" portunity of sending personal messages to relaâ€" tives and friends in Canada. There were two points on which the soldiers overseas showed a tendency to be about unanimous. The one was in the lack of any false hesitation in sending love to mother or father, brothers or sisters, wife or children. The men overseas appeared to feel that they were in the midst of vital days when the really important affairs of life could be fittingly brought to the front. "Hello, mother, my dearest love to you!" said one soldier. "Sweetheart, I love you just the same," was the message of anâ€" *her to his wife. Messages of affection to childâ€" an were the rtule. "The bravest are the tenderâ€" st. The loving are the daring." In most other 1atters there was a sort of hurried originality about the messages, but in one other point there was almost unanimity. Often this latter point ‘ook some form like this: "Thanks for the letters and the parcels. But send some more cigarettes!" As The Advance has noted on many previous Ooccasâ€" ions there are two things that are particularly apâ€" preciated by the soldiers overseas â€" letters and cigarettes.. The cigarettes available in the Old Country do not suit the taste of the Canadian soldiers. They prefer Canadian cigarettes and apâ€" parently . they can not get too many of them. This is a good thing to remember. "Send cigarettes!" It might be a good idea for some good people who are unduly anxious about the war to worry a little less about the war and think a little more about the soldiers.

A study of the situation seems to suggest that the really dangerous days were in the earlier days of the war. Britain was* sadly unprepared and it took precious time to organize and equip and gather together the means and methods of carrying on the battle. There is nothing to be ]gamed by underestimating the enemy. On the ; other hand it is folly to overestimate his powers or to underestimate the strength of those who fight for freedom and the right. There is an argument at present in progress in the United States on the question as to whether or not barbers should charge less for cutting the hair of a partially bald fellow than for the lad with a college head of hair. The Florida House of Representatives has refused to allow barbers in the state to charge half price for cutting the There should be no doubt as to the final outâ€" come, but in the meantime it is foolish not to be prepared and ready to accept reverses. The Britâ€" ish genius for final victory is suggested by their acceptance of the Napoleon dictum that Britain loses all the battles but the last oneâ€"the decisive one. Reverses should be taken with this thought in mindâ€"this determination to continue until victory comes. This doqs not mean any complaisâ€" sanceâ€"any idling or slacknessâ€"but rather perâ€" sistent. continued, grim determination, ceaseless battling. There are signs that the struggle is enâ€" tering another trying period. . For the moment Britain has the advantage of the initiative and things appear to be going well. There are posâ€" sibilities, however, of new difficulties and dangers. There should be resolve to take these in the stride. Above all there should be no time wasted in needless and fruitless worry about reverses or difficulties. Time, as well as the right, is on the side of Britain. It would not be well to give too much emphasis to the fact that conditions are not perfect for the enemy. But it should be reâ€" membered that Britain and her Allies have no monopoly of reverses or difficulties â€" that the enemy has due share of difliculties and ‘menaces. The slogan certainly should not be, "Britain Can Lose." Rather should ithe motto be:â€""Britain Will Win!" Instead of defeatist ramblings it would be well indeed. if every newspaper, every writer, every Speaker, every public man, every private citizen would adopt the slogan of the inâ€" spiring words of the King:â€" David Harum said that a reasonable amount of fleas is good for a dog; they keep him from broodâ€" ing too much on being a dog. By the same kind of logic it may be figured out that those people who have been unduly worrying about the progress of the war, now have a whole kennelful of fleas to distract their attention. There is the income tax. the sales tax and all the other taxes, and particuâ€" larly the way these imposts are collected. At the moment there is the census to set the average scratching. On top of this there has been a generâ€" al distribution this week of the "Employees‘ Bookâ€" let on the Unemployment Insurance Act." If the others are fleaâ€"like, the general opinion will be that this one is lousy. Contrary to the popular opinion that government measures are all so inâ€" volved that it takes the proverbial Philadelphia lawyer to untangle them, the booklet seems to make this one plain,. ‘That is the trouble. It seems too plain. It appears to be beyond question that everybodyâ€"employees, employers, government â€"have to contribute to this fund, but only the most gifted and most fortunate, with the subtlety that can scarcely be expected from those with the limit of income set by the Act can ever hope to collect anything under the measure. Things may not be as they seaem, but, anyway, it is something to worry about. Speaking of worry, the whole trend of legislation and administration toâ€"day is certainly something for British folks to worry about. For instance, to keep track of all the government measures of the day, even the small business appears to need a separate staff. All the taxes and imposts threaten to take all the money that any business can make these days. That might not be so bad, but on top of all that comes the need for the separate staff required to look after the forms and schedules and reports and receipts, and so on, required by so many of these taxes and regulations. Where on earth, or elsewhere, 'is the money coming from to pay this additional staff? That is something to worry about. In the matter of the names of places mentioned in the war, the good people who went to Sunday School when they were young are coming: into their own now. â€" ‘Damascus,‘ ‘Lebanon,‘ ‘Jordan,‘ these are a few of the names in the news toâ€"day that are familiar to the memories of large numâ€" bers who found some of the names in Africa, Ruâ€" mania, Yugoslovakia and Greece a little hard on the pronounciation. Adolph Schieklgruber sent a wreath to the funâ€" eral of Wilhelm, the former Kaiser of Germany. For a time it looked as if the Old Kaiser might live to send a wreath to the funeral of the new one. "Put into your task whatever it may be all the courage and purpose of which you are capable. Keep your hearts proud and your resolve unshakâ€" en. Let us go forward to that task as one man, a smile on our lips and our heads held high, and with God‘s help we shall not fail."

On the other hand The Minneapolis Starâ€" Journal thinks there should be a sort of sliding scale for haircuts, The newspaper does not go so far as to imply that hairecuts should be priced at so much a hair, but that is the basis of the thought, no doubt, of the baldheaded editor. This debatable question was settled â€"right here in the North many years ago by the wisdom of a witty Northern barber. ‘"You should charge me half price for my hairâ€" cut, seeing that I have so few hairs for you to cut," said the customer with the fringed billiard ball as a hatstand. "No," replied the barber,‘"I should charge you double price, as I have to hunt the hairs as well as cut them." | A wellâ€"known local citizen the other day disâ€" covuered that his car was imissing from its usual parking place.

To understand the magnitude of the third part of this plan it must be realized that there are more than 75 pulp and paper mills in Canada which operate substantial machine shops for maintenance of their own machines and equipment. In them specially trained mechanies can carry out careâ€" fully selected work of the right type and character in a highly satisfactory manner. The machine shops in the pulp and paper mills normally operate one shift of 48 hours a weoek. This leaves 96 hours per six day week in which they are available to do useful war workâ€" if the work is brought to the too‘s. Today, through the Wartime Machine Shop Board of the Canadian Pulp and Paper Association substantial volume of work has been brought to the pulp and paper mills‘ machine :shop% As a result, these machine shops are now busy twentyâ€"four hours a day. All these activities are so planned that this contribution to the country‘s war effort is made without impalring production of pulp and paper products. During 1940 the industry exported pulp and paper to the value of some $240,â€" 000,000â€"most of which represented U.S. dollars so vitally needed by tae Empire today; for 1041 this figure will be even larger. | The pulp and paper industry, through planning and .coâ€"ordination, is increasing its alréady ‘effective" ‘conâ€" tributions to Canada‘s war effort.
