United Statesâ€"$3.50 Per Year â€"There have been enough anniversary â€"events already this month of July to emphasize the fact that it is a month of important dates. Starting off with July ist, Dominion Day, celebrated with special enthusiasm in Canada this year, it was followed by America Independence day, July 4th, which this year was also celebrated to some exâ€" tent on Canadian soil. There were ten thousand people in Toronto on Saturday who believed that July 12th, the anniversary of the Battle of the Boyne, was also worthy of particular recogâ€" nition as a date. July ist to 3rd was the date of the battle of Gettysburg, well worthy of remembrance for the address later delivered on the scene by President Lincoln. The story by the certain or uncertain Toronto newspaper is a very circumstantial one. It goes into all the grewsome details of the matter; tells how Premier King wished to smoke the pype of peace with the Indian braves, but did not have a pipe with him, being a nonâ€"smoker,. Evidently the Indians knew Premier King and were not preparâ€" ed to loan him one of t,hmr pipes. The certain or uncertain Toronto newspapm of course, does not suggest anything like that, but it is a‘lways necesâ€" sary to read between the lines of any story in that newspaper. Indeed it appears that not only the Indians, but their fellow Grits in the West, knew thePremier, for not a single Liberal pipe was availâ€" able. To quote from the quotation in the Ottawa newspaper:â€""It took a hurried shopping trip to get Mr. King a pipe for the occasion. Afterwards ne was told it came from the store of a prominent Regina Conservative. ‘I don‘t mind, said the premier, ‘It tasted all right anyway.‘ " July iIst, 1855, was the system of currency was in other words the first dollar. ‘While these three days in the month may the popular) fancy as the great July ho there are a host of others worthy of notice :‘ The Ottawa Journal sponsors, in a halfâ€"hearted way, a story to the effect that at Calgary, Hon. Mr. King, premier of Canada, smoked a pipe of peace with some Calgary Indian braves. The Journal seeks to buttress its story by asserting that it saw the thing in a photograph passed by the censor and sent out by the Director of Public Inâ€" formation. The Journal even goes so far as to attempt to prove its story that Premier King acâ€" Qually smoked a pipe by quoting from The Toronto Star, which appears something like Ananias callâ€" ing upon Sapphira to back him up in his story. July 3rd, 1876, saw the opening of the Interâ€" colonial Railway from Halifax to Quebec. ;" July 3rd, is the anniversary of the battle of Santiago. July 15th, is St. Swithin‘s Day, rain on that day (toâ€"morrow) supposedly assuring rain for forty days and forty nights. It could happen in the North. July 20th, 1871, marked the entry of British Columbia into confederation. July 21st, 1856, say the opening of the first railâ€" yjay in Canada from Laprairie to St. John, Quebec. © These are only a few of the important July dates. Others of them include: July, 1609â€"Discovery of Lake Champlain. â€"â€"July, 1634â€"Foundation of Three Rivers. July, 1667â€"Acadia returned to France. ~July, 1758â€"Final capture of Louisbourg by Briâ€" With so many vital matters at stake for Canâ€" ada and the world these days it might easily prove that more important dates may be added to the calendar of outstanding July days. seems odd that it was necessary to go to Reâ€" gina to get a pipe for the Premier to smoke with the Calgary Indians, but that is one of the least of the oddities about the whole matter. "On July ist, 1873, Prince Edward Island joined the confederation of Canada. July 11th, 1896, will be remembered by many as the day on which Hon Wilfred Laurier started as premier of Canada. July 21st is the date of one of the battles of Bull Run. .'July, 1759â€"Capture of Fort Niagara by British. ‘ July, 1763â€"Rising of Indians under Pontiac. i‘ July, 1766â€"Peace treaty with Pontiac. § July 20th to 31st, 1905â€"Tercentegnary celebraâ€" tion of the founding of Quebec. Visit to Canada of the Prince of Wales. _ July 14th, 1789, saw the destruction of the Bas tille in Paris and the opening of the French Revo lution. July 16th, is the anniversary of the surrender of Santiago. "The Ottawa Journal pretends to feel saddened at the thought of Hon. Mr. King smoking a pipe, believing that all through the years he has been @aito lt P P P PA EPP EP L P i. m ie l l n e e e eA PA P P PPA Timmins, Ont., Monday, July 14th, 1941 PAGE PouUnr Ehe Vorupine Advancee MONTH OF ANNIVERSARIES THE PIPE OF PEACE t P AP AP LA AL C BC PCAE EP t P PA CA â€"AP AC PP P Wl date on which the decimal introduced into Canadaâ€" tiiffie Canada really had a ; in the month may strike the great July holidays, "scorched earth" for the enemy, then all the Gerâ€" man advances are valueless indeed. There is one other fact that appears to be conceded by both | Berlin and Moscow, namely, that the losses on both sides are fairly staggering. With these thoughts in mind, it must be admitted that the Russian campaign has been of great service to Briâ€" tain and her allies. It is apparent that this adâ€" vantage will increase from day to day if the Rusâ€" sians continue to fight as they have done. In this ‘ way, of course, Russia will prove a valuable asset to Britain and her allies, but _ with the record in view, there will not be undue jubilation over the agreement signed during the weekâ€"end by repreâ€" sentatives of Russia and Britain. This agreement has only two clauses:â€"1, That both nations will give each other all possible aid against the comâ€" mon enemy; and, 2 That neither nation shall conâ€" 'sider a separate peace with Germany. OQOutside of ’ the fierce bombardment from the air of Germanâ€" held territory now in progress, it is difficult to see what further help can be given in the Russian campaign. Britain seems to needs every man and machine availableâ€"and moreâ€"for her own present needs in other spheres of war and defence. As for the solemn promise not to make a separate peace, that surely looks like no more than wishful thinkâ€" ing in view of what happened in the case of France. Instead of being alarmed at Hon. Mr. King takâ€" ing up smoking The Ottawa Journalâ€"and all Canadaâ€"might well be overjoyed. No sturdy pipe smoker would ever be as much of a politician and as little of a ‘statesman as sometimes seems the case. If Premier King would only cultivate a taste for a strong old pipe and a few round oaths, and a few other human traits, he might be able to clean house at Ottawa, and get things really going in helping win the war. Both The Journal and the Director of Public information assert that the tobacco smoked by the Premier on this truly historic occasion was genâ€" uine "tabac Canadien," a brand more scientifiically termed by knowing smokers as "Canada Shag."‘ If Hon. Mr. King actually smoked that, he need have no fear of an ocean voyage. Frankly, The Advance fears the whole story is too good to be true, though some plausibility is given to the tale by the naive remark of the Toâ€" ronto newspaper that the pipe was simply borâ€" rowed for the occasion. By the same token, it is likely that the tabac Canadien was palmed and some mullen leaves, or other more. savoury stuff, substituted. Perhaps, with this practice affair in the West, the Premier of Canada may now be all ready to come to Toronto and smoke the pipe of peace with one of his lieutenants who was some time ago created one of the Big Chiefs of one of the Ontario tribes of Indians. a nonâ€"smoker. Just one question to the Ottawa newspaper:â€""If Hon. Mr. King never uses a pipe, where on earth does he get all his pipe dreams?" As noted before in The Advance, the new watr between those two old pals, Stalin and Hitler, apâ€" pears much like a lying competition. There is no authentic news possible from neutral or unprejuUâ€" diced sources, because both Russia and Germany are so completely under the heels of censorship that permits nothing but what is officially desired to be announced. Taking the stories coming from Moscow and comparing them with those issuing from Berlin, and attempting to strike a happy meâ€" dium, appears a hopeless task. According to the Berlin stories, the Russians are routed in disorder on all fronts, are completely disorganized, and have even lost more men, planes and munitions of war than they ever had on the said three fronts. On top of all that, the Germans now claim to be organizing such a blitzkreig as will completely annihilate the aforesaid Russians. The story from Moscow suggests that the Germans have already lost a million men, thousands of airplanes, hunâ€" dreds of tanks, and that the Soviet has practically stopped them on all fronts. If the Russian story were to be believed, the Germans have no more chance with Russia than the Japs have with China. It is only fair to admit, however, that the claims of the Russians are much more credible than those of the Nazis. Berlin makes tacit admission of the failure of its first blitzkreigs by advertising the new one that it intends to institute... Germany‘s story of the annihilation of more planes than anyâ€" one believed were possessed by Russia is discountâ€" ed by the continued damage admitted from Soviet planes. Hitler promised that he would subdue Ruissia in a month. His generals spoke of three months as the limit. The general opinion of exâ€" perts was that if the Nazis could not conquer Rusâ€" sia in a couple of months, they could never sucâ€" ceed. ‘The reply of Russia was that the Soviet would, and could, defend its territory and nationâ€" hood to the death. Three weeks have passed and it would appear that Germany is little nearer its objective than it was two weeks ago. Again, in this, the weight of reason and of truth seems to rest on the Russian side. From the outset, it has been the belief of many that if Russia were really resolved and determined to defend itself, the reâ€" sult was almost certain to be just such a stalemate as exists between Japan and China. At the preâ€" sent time it does appear as if Russia was engaging in battle with the Germans with the most deterâ€" mined re®olution and purpose. If the stories told by both sides are true that the Russians are desâ€" troying everything before retreating leaving only he enemy, then all the Gerâ€" ueless indeed. There is one ars to be conceded by both namely, that the losses on y staggering.

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." In the course of an obituary notice of a Toronto lady who died at the age of ninety years, The Teleâ€" gram says in sentences immediately following each other in the same paragraph:â€"‘"She had been in poor health for some time. She had been a reader of The Telegram since its first issue." As The Telegram was founded in 1876, it is not likely that the good lady had been ill for 65 of her 90 years, so it is only logical, as well as kindly, to believe that those two sentences had no connecâ€" tion in meaning even if they did follow in such close sequence. People are solemnly assured that to mention conscription is to threaten the foundation of Canaâ€" dian unity. The word had better be drapped it that is the case. Why not advocate obligatory voluntary service. Or form, a plan whereby no man is forced to serve in the army, but certain men are not allowed to remain at home so long as the life of the nation is threatened. Many, many times during the present war, The Advance has spoken in praise of salvage work. It has been commended for securing material badly needed for war purposes.

To its other virtues salvage work has addâ€" ed an answer to the question, "What to do with illegal slot machines?" In a recent issue The Simcoe Reformer said that Australia has 120,000,000 men overseas, All in Canada have envied the great part taken by Ausâ€" tralia in the present war, but few thought that it would be possible for a nation of less than seven millions to place 120,000,000 men in the battle lines overseas. No doubt The Simcoe Reformer will explain that 120,000,000 was a misprint for 1,200,000, but the enemy will be ready to admit that the Australians overseas seem like 120,000,000 anyway.
