Vers the work of the defence of the Empire in ny and every capacity in which they can serve. Phe new order from Ottawa, however, gives rise “fa number of questions. One of these is the arnest desire of so many men past military age E lacking the perfection of physical health for Mal soldier duties to serve in even menial apacities in the regular fighting forces. Could 0t more of these men be used by the army? Why not men below the army categories do duties ;ysthe quarterâ€"master‘s and paymaster‘s departâ€" ts that would ‘relieve the physically fit for «lmother question that may arise is the attitude _,fithe young men to the young women who enlist wthe new auxiliary service. In past days the titude of women towards soldiers and the army ight be divided into four general classes. There s the extremist that went around pinning white ?re is so much of the absurd, the impossible, unthinkable about this war, that anything y happen. Accordingly, there may be the asâ€" inding sight, in Toronto, for example, of young tures about how sweet a certain other young y looks in khaki or airforce blue, with the sugâ€" tion that no matter how much every girl loves g.uor there are some men who love only girls in army auxiliary costume. It is a little more flcult to imagine any young man telling his friend that she was lost to him forever unless Uonned the khaki at once. It is still more o B2 0 oo + â€" A m m § ud we * 8t s i o se m ols 4 as an auxinary force ror the cmw:m iy, The young ladies, while a separate force, '_ mave uniforms, rank, army pay, and the other fleges and obligations of the regular army. y will not be called upon to do actual fighting, will take over other duties such as those of d ; waiters, clerks,. stenographers, truck drivâ€" and other duties that will relieve men for the s _'-fngnung. In these duties there is no doubt 3,;they will do even better work than men. '“ ads of women in Canada during the past years have taken courses to fit them for i positions suggested, in the hope that at some e they might be of service to their country. p record of this war supports that of the last @ in suggesting that women are equally patâ€" iflc with menâ€"if not more so, being more realâ€" : in their outlook than men in genex‘al There fl be no difficulty in recruiting the 3,000 women ged for. Indeed, there is reason to believe that 000 young women could be recruited for war Vlce toâ€"day as readily as that number of men. e women of Britain have shown their spirit and rir desire to serve in very definite way, and| !re is every reason to believe that the young men are equally anxious to share with their Q running round pinning pink or green or yelâ€" feathers on strange young ladies they may pt on the street, because the said young ladies not in the Canadian Women‘s Auxiliary Force form. Or some girl‘s boy friend may go into blesome to follow the rest of the comparison propose that young men should threaten their cees with banishment from the heart if they attempt to serve their country and their genâ€" orm, that she just loved sailors and soldiers â€"airmen, and. implying that the surest way er favour was to come in uniform. A third s was the young lady who made it plain that arms that would not bear arms would never her in such arms. Finally, there were the the very few, who felt that it was better to ) on a man who stayed at home than take a ce on a soldier who was leaving for overâ€" hers on all the young men that might be met of army uniform. Then there was the more le young lady who exclaimed about how well this or that young man looked in an army is an odd coincidence that at the very time (the recruiting of young men for the Canaâ€" army seemed to be lagging the call for young en to join the active forces should be anâ€" ;oed It may be a deepâ€"laid political plot, but w case it will be welcomed by hosts of young 3 who have been doing all they, could to help madas war effort, but who Bave Heen earnâ€" of doing snumreandasclose to ial fighting as possible. e question arises now will the roles of young and young women be reversed in this war. The German reports are given no more creâ€" dence. According to Berlin the advance into Rusâ€" sia has proceeded according to schedule. There is theâ€"admission, however, that only a hundred miles has been covered in a week, and at this rate the conquest of Russia would take years, instead of a mere month. Berlin reports hundreds of Soviet planes shot down, thousands of tanks destroyed or captured, and countless prisoners taken..The average reaction, in view of,. Berlin‘s wellâ€"known reputation in truthfuilness, is to discount the Gerâ€" man version equally with the stories from Mosâ€" cow. The unfortunate fact is that both Germa.ny and Russia are so completely censorâ€"ridden that* the truth can not come out of eitherâ€"or be deâ€" duced tron both. Unfortunately, there is no neu-1 tral nation or. agency. close enough to the: scene of action: to make any passibmty of : the truth getungtothetmtside wonman thatcanbe done .itor the Lf resent is to mq;v m propasnnda eom- If theâ€" world situation were not so serious the news available about the new warâ€"Russia versus Germanyâ€"â€"-would be amusing. There may be reply to this by stating the apparent truth that there is no real news of this war. There are of course, the despatches from Moscow and Berlin, but not only are these contradictory, but there is a rather fixgd popular determination to the effect that neither are to be believed. According to the Mosâ€" cow story, the Russians are holding. the Germans on all fronts, while Nazi planes are being shot down by the hundreds, tanks destroyed by the tens of â€"hundreds, and prisoners taken by wholeâ€" sale. Only in one sector does Moscow admit that Germany‘s invasion has made any material adâ€" vance, and even in that sector the advance is under Russian control. Moscow reports the Nazis as suffering very serious casualties. All in all, the Moscow reports are so encouraging that they are unbelievable to the average reader. Indeéed, Mosâ€" cow would need a much different reputation. for honesty before its reports would be accepted. The Advance believes that the whole value of the Russian campaign to Britain and her allies â€"and the ‘whole outcome of this latest venturé of /‘ the mad Shickl’gruberâ€"â€"'de'pends on the quesâ€" tion‘whether Russia will realy fight or not. If «Russia really resists the Nazis have a terrible task before them. It will mean desperate losses for the German invadersâ€"losses that will leave Gerâ€" [many much easier to subdus when Briftain and her allies muster their strength to the combat. It will mean fearful losses for Russia, and it is only honesty to admit that that too will be anl advantage for the free natiqns. Little has been said about the matter for diplomatic reasons, but most loyal people have felt right along that after Germany was subdued,‘ it would be necessary to attend to Russia. There would be no sense in the present war if Germany and Italy were madeâ€"to disgorge their plunder and suffer punishment for their gangsterism and Russia were «left in undisâ€" turbed possession of the sporls so treacherous sly obtained from Poland. and Finland. Despatches from Moscow last week suggested ( for the first time) that it had always been the intentwn of Russia to return the territory taken from Finâ€" land and. Poland This is an advantage already from the present new war. There will be others and their value and extent will depend on the actual honesty of the Russian resistance. There is every indication that Russia and Germany have been working under agreement in all done until recently. It is difficult to see how anyone could honestly consider one of these two nations more a gangstéer than the other. It would be folly, from the record, to acclaim Russia as a whiteâ€" robed innocent simply because the Soviet has fallen out with its fellow criminal. Naturally the help coming from the new war should ‘be welâ€" comed, but it should be greeted in its proper proâ€" portions and without committing the Empire to any friendship with any form of tyranny and ag- gression. have but the wilt/â€"It is true that the German war _.,f%:,..hmmnmdperhapsmorepow- erful than that of Russia, but on the other hand sata has the advantage ‘of:manâ€"power and still possible ‘task. â€"If the: Russian resistance equals that of the Chinese, the result will be. slmilar "to that of the Japoâ€"Chinese war. An announcer. on the â€"radio last night gave graphic deseript.mn of the immensity of the Russian empire,. over which Czar Stalin has been ruling, when he pictured it truthfully as larger than Canadaâ€"and the.
