No doubt ‘there fe forms to fill with nothing for the babes «o not come up. to certain speciflcatlons as meth d of regulatlon and control ‘‘In. cpn,ifering the question of allowances for cmldren there appears to be one feature of the case that‘is not given sufficient attention. That is the’fi'ct that if governments spend money on families, it is certain that attempt will be:made to regyl Qe and contrel and regiment families. There is no sphere of activity in which the gov- ernmentk: ever spend money that they do not adopt a super\gisory attitude as soon as the money is promised. This holds true in everything from buildingâ€"loans to old age pensions and from grants ror roads to subsidies for wheat. The invarigable princlple of governments is to expect that the expenditure of money will carry with it a very decided measure of control. This fact has been lmDressgd, upon municipalities and individuals. Often,: those receiving grants or subsidies find that in efi’ect they have sold out at a low price. There is mo.reason to. believe that the millions to. be spent for the soâ€"called “ramily allowances" ‘will be‘ given away without any strings attached. Money for: families will inevitably be followed by regulation and regimentation of families. If the gpvernmént enters into the business of buying babies it will follow as a matter ofâ€"course that the géVern,ment will be setting the number, the nuyie alla ULIe qua@alllty OlI tUle Chilaren entitled to what The Globe and Mail has called "the diaper dole.”..

Every once in a while some Canadian newsâ€" ipaper suggests that Canadian soldiers overseas are not getting the world recognition they deserve. There have been similar suggestions in United States newspapers in reference to the U. S. A. forces. Not long ago an Australian periodical published an article on the Australian soldiers, sailors and airmen and indicated that the full ‘glory of the gallantry of these men on service was ‘not as completely recognized as it should be. There1 may be something in the theories thus advanced It should be remembered, however, that anyone who reads the newspapers at all must be aware that the bravery and efficiency of the soldiers, sailors and airmen of Canada, the United States ‘and Australia can nat be questioned. At the very worst, there has been publicity enough to make that fact well known.. No â€"one should beâ€" little the great contribution‘ of RusSsia to the fastâ€" approaching victory, but at the same time it must be admitted that there has been generous and worldâ€"wide publicity for the Russian fighting forces. Much attention has also been given to the other Allied Nations and their part in the fight for freedom. Indeed, it is safe to say that‘ never in the history of the world has the story of the war day by day been.covered as completely I and competently as in‘ the present conflict. The various wWar correspondents and newsâ€"gathering agencies have reported the war on all its many, fronts with an accuracy, a completeness and an Beâ€" cause of .this fact, there has been due credif given in general way to all taking part. If there has been any, oversight, it has been in regard to the oldâ€"line British regulars. And that has been more a matter of policy and tradition on the part of the British regulars than any lack on the part of the reporters. As The Victoria Colonist has pointed out, the British regulars are by long odds the least credited and the most continuously in action of any of the Western forces. The same brave and effective band of British troops that were at Dunkerque, battled in Tunisia, in Sicily, in Italy, and are toâ€"day in the thick of the battle in France. Some of these old regiments have beenl practically wiped out of existence more than once, but in miraculous way have filled up their ranks with men of the same high traditions and while there is incidental mention of the name. of some famousâ€"old British regiment with a halo of There are recollections of mighty battles when these noted names are mentioned, but what is not generally reallzed is the fact that in the present war these oldâ€"line regiments are adding pages just as glorâ€" What Eremier Churchill said about the alrmea hk L" td o .

Interesting Letter from Flâ€" ight Lieutenant R. G. Lake "This may be a very awkward letter to write as I am sitting in a jeep and writing on a small board ... We have just completed another move, and haven‘t settled down very well, as we have had two "shows" already, and haven‘t had much time to work on our tents and beds. This is the third place we have been since coming here (France), and each one is dustier than the last . . . By the time you get this, I suppose you will have been informed that Jack was wounded. ‘Wel, set your mind at rest, because he is quite all right, and I shall see him as soon as possible. He was only in hospital on this side for three hours when they evacuated him by air to England. â€"I expect to go to England for seven ‘days‘ leave either toâ€"morrow or the next day and I shall certainly find out where he is and see him. Bob Bickford sent me a message about him and told me which hospifal he would be ‘in, dbut when I got there he had gone back to England. I met the Padre~ of the Queen‘s Own who was slightly woundâ€" ed in the hand and he told me Jack had done a fine job. His regiment were to take a town and it seems they ran into machine gun fire.> His| plaâ€" toon were the only ones to penetrate into the town, so he must have been right in the thick of it The Padre said Jack was quite all right and that. the wounds he had.were very clean ones, H# was hit in the legs but L was asâ€" sured that he would not be maimed in any way, so I guess we could. not ask for much more, could we?"

At police court on Tuesday Magistrate Atkinson gave stern warning to foolish and giddy young men not to interfere with young ladies on the street. The occasion for the advice was the charge against Lloyd Riley and Peter Nastaâ€" suik. These young men were first charâ€" ged with, indecent assault on a female, but the magistrate said that the eviâ€" dence was scarcely strong enough to warrant this charge, but there was the very ‘best of proof that the young lady had been assaulted, and so the charge was reduced to one of common assault. On this charge the two young fellows were fined $20.00 each and costs. In evidence it was shown that the young lady had ‘been accosted, and later dragged into a lane where a coat was pulled over her head. Her screams woke all in the vicinity of the lane. The two young fellows became alarmed at the outery and fled after one of them had kicked the young lady on the leg. Magistrate Also Imposes Fine. of $20.00 Each and They were latter arrested, the young lady positively identifying them as her. assailants. iW. O. Langdon was counâ€" sel for the defence. Crown Attorney' S. A. Caldbick appea:red for the Crown. The defence was complete denial, , but the‘ evidence of the youngâ€" lady. and two other girls convinced the mag- | istrate that a conviction should ° be¢ entered. ‘"‘Cheeky young brats like,] these must learn have‘ nol right and will not be permitted to interfere with people on the st.reet, 3 the ; magistrate said. + ‘ This was the only specially important case tried on Tuesday. There was another assault case that drew a $50; 00 fine with costs. Whileapparently unâ€" der the influence ‘of liquor, Alfred Polonich was said to have assaulted a woman who wished him to leave. her home where friends were playing cards,. The lady suffered a black eye. and other injuries.. The defendent paid his fine as soon as the case was over, producing a very hefty roll of bills‘ to. do so.
