twain PEACE anuausl FIGHTING MEN DISCUSS THEIR \ PROBLEMS FIKANKLY. All Agree That a Military Caste" Must Not Continue to Exist In Canada. But Many of Them Won-`| der How They Will Get Back Int Civil Life Once More. `| VEN in midst of the war much thought is being given by men of all ranks in the Cana.~ di-an army in France to the return of the army to civil life. All realize the greatness of the problem and believe that even with the end of war not in sight it is still possible to develop plans for the accomplish-` I ment of this object. A proper con- ceptien of the task can only be rea- lized by a visit to the army in France. It is only there that a knowledge of the various problems is possible and! from among those in the army'con- I ` cerned in this matter can be gleaned the true situation. Men of all ranks are frank in discussing the problem. They realize that Canada cannot per- petuate a standing army or create at ! military caste, but must return to} | productive work the men who havel fought so valiantly in France. Flora xvn have in France" said 3.1 ' LUI u. izuuy um: U1 nun; \)l- \J\. Their business is to ght and the` icountry s business to provide for them.

' Another prominent officer, a brig- ade commander referred to another. ; class. We have in the army, he. .' explained "many men of over forty` J who have sacrificed everything. They l return home after years of service gvithout means, without a business` iand to nd that in their absence` lcompetitors have captured the eld.'| These men, many aged beyond their; years through stress of conict, will: lnot find it an easy task to regain: ~their former positions in civil life- wiihuut capital and with their energy sapped. 'l`hn1'n is Still another class that I uun AcI.uLL'L4I u.u.u... ,_......,, Known throughout America as one of the greatest Chautauqua attrac- tions available. Popular in the greatest play houses here and abroad, with a record of notable performances excelled by few theatrical organizations in the world. /Honored by appearances on the White House lawn before American 1 Presidents and international celebrities. An organization of outstanding merit--big in numbers-bigger in artistry-with a vehicle which has stood the test of time---a. comedy with a. punch, Shakespeare's immortal. Ben Greet s players are thoroughly capable histrionic artists who have specialized upon Shakespeanean productions. The record of success won by the organization, not only on the Chautauqua platform, but in leading theatres of America, is the best possible assurance of their ability to please. Beside sCol. Geo. W. Bain and the Ben Greet play- ers the following Artists will entertain BARRIE AND HER FRIENDS l fought. vananuy 111 .r I'a.uct:. 1 Here we have in "France" a veteran colonel, "thousands of young men who have in the service of their! . country lost in a measure the initia-' tive of their former civil life.

Much has been~done training for civilian life by the educational and vocational courses of the Vimy` 1 Ridge University. Those interested in this work believe that their greati opportunity will be the demobiliza- tion period. Even under the most favorable circumstances our army could not be returned to Canada in less than eighteen months. The ruined cities of France must be re-| built, its farms again brought under cultivation, mines reopened, forests` replanted and industries revived.! Men engaged in this work while ini the army would be educating them-' selves for civil life. While in thisl work those Whose studies were in- terrupted could complete theirl training under skilled teachers serv-E ing in the army. Men could learn` trades or improve their knowledge of trades followed before the war. That is the period of opportunity in Europe. . `[.pndpr.= nf thmizht in the army 1 1 4 '1<.:u1*ope. Leaders of thought army favor the return of men from Eu- rope to immedizffe occupation in Canada. They fear the effect on the men of_a long period of idleness at home as much as the effect of army life in foreign countries. They are anxious that other elds of labor than agriculture be provided. Farm- ing will appeal to but a small per- centage of the army. Years in the turmoil of war, its excitement and association, is not the best or train- ing tor the quiet life of the prairie farm.

There will be the sincere co-oper- atinn `by army leaders with civil {authorities to solve this problem. |Pl'0ba.bly the army leaders see more clearly the dimculties of the situa- tion. -It is the men in France who have a complete knowledge ofnthe aspirations and desires of the Cana- dian army. There will be no un- warrantable demands, no tactlous opposition. In the army has come hrough stress of conict with xtls sacrifice and victory 11. wonderfl national spirit. The men in France will not place personal desire before nationahwelfare, but they believe the satisfactory return-to civil life of three hundred thousand men in Europe will give a great impetus to national unity and,national pros- parity.

The pres- . | ent German position is nearly at ( I 1' 1 I I . . straight line between Soissons and j - 1 Rheims. The latter town is still sur- ` - rounded by the enemy on three sides, ` ` `though the latest successes have re` `ilieved the pressure east of the city.` ' = The enemy requires fewer divisions to defend this line than if he retreat- L . ed across the Aisne, whose many 1 ' windings would necessitate largel . I bodies of troops to defend them. The. Aisne, however, would be most dan-i gerous in the rear of a beaten ar1ny,| 5 . and indications are that the enemy " i will continue his retirement north of' ` the Aisne. as even this natural ra.m~ 3 part has been jeopardized by the` 5 ' French bridgeheads at Soissons and its suburb, St. Vaasl, the latter com-` i I manding the whole sharp bend of the l ri-ver east of the city. _ .
