Though it always has seemed foot- ball is one of the sports that must forever remain beyond the reach of womankind--excepting only the teams of 'professional ladies' --it appears that war is breaking down even that barrier and that selling footballs to women, on a limited scale, at least, is one of the after- the-war possibilities.

Officer Talks of the Fighting Men of | the Empire, | "To my mind the greatest mistake | the Kaiser and his assassins made | was to think the other races of the | world degenerate," says' Capt. David Fallon, MM.C., late of British and Australian armies. "He thought that | because the French and the British were not plotting for war and dream- ing of worldly conquest they were falling to pieces. From the German point of view we were all that, They could see us only as a sport loving, peaceful and unemotional race. They were not wrong, either, We had made sport of our God and God eof our sport. Our civilization had taught us to have a good time, and a good time we must have, no matter at whose expense. And so we were living until the Huns were let loose, "No proof is needed of the valor of the Belgians, the French and the British, It would be idle to speak of it, because for tlree years they | places. The self-sacrifice and heroic deeds of ancient days which have come down to us as legends lack sig- nificance when compared with dally deeds performed in this war. "I have heard of nothing finer than the heroic defence of the Belgians at Liege. Although totally unprepared, they resisted for ten days a great, dis- cipliped force forty times thelr num- ber; or the impossible standing at Gallipoli made by the Anzacs; or the defence at Verdun by the French; or the Canadians charge through poison gases at Ypres; or the brilliant Brit- ish attack on the Somme. "No, nation is degenerate whose men can endure months of expogure in torrents of rain and bitter cold winds, lying out in pools of freezing water, half starving at times and suf- fering the tortures of a hurricane of shell fire, and laugh through it all, The allies have proved themselves made of finer stuff than were Napo- leon's Old Guard, who were supposed | to be the best trained soldiers in the | world. The old soldiers were not | brought up on farms or trained in | factories, on homesteads and on sheep runs, as were the boys from England, Scotland, Australia, Canada, New Zealand and South Africa, "Napoleon once remarked that "In war morale is three to one more pow- erful than material foree.' "This moral superiority was prov- ed by the allies during the early part of this war, when they were greatly outnumbered in men and material. What must happen now when we are superior to the Huns, both morally and materialy? Sure victory, of course. "I have a Canadian to thank for my life. I have told in the Magazine of War of the incident that put me out of any further active part in the war. After three days in a, water- filled shell hole, with my arm smash- ed, my jaw broken and my whole body a wreck. In the epd 1 lost my way. Suddenly I heard a Canadian sentry challenging. I called.

Tommy Atkins' Hardships, "They put me in barracks," wrote a young soldier to his parents; "they took away my clothes and put me in khaki; they took away my name and made me 'No. 575; they took me to church where I never was before, and they made me listen to a sermon for 40 minutes. Then the parson sald: 'No. 575. Art thou weary, art thou languid?" and I got seven days in the guardhouse because I answer- ed that I certainly was!" __. hn a Labuits The New Drink with the Old Quality 1 tonic qualities of Labatt's Old London Brew--on sale at Easter time--are pre- cisely the same as those of the Labatt brews you have used and liked so well all your life. The only difference is that Old London Brew is less stimulating, contains less alcohol--it is a temperance drink which former drinkers of alcoholic brews will enjoy, and one which temper- ance drinkers will equally appreciate.
