toâ€"day?" seldom pauses for your reply. The felâ€"| jJow who solicits your opinion on the wcat.hcr,? usually doesn‘t seem to care what you think. z Often as not after questioning you as to your j health, your friend hurries on to tell you about | his own and his latest operation. The man who questions you about your ideas on the weather, forestalls any comments from you by his own ; prompt condemnation of the rotten climate andl the state of the roads. Questions about the war r situation toâ€"day are inclined to take on similar I attributes to those about the weather and your. health. Many a man says: "What do you think . about the war situation?" and then hurriecs on tof give you his views. Ssometimes, these views are valuable, and sometimes they are of no more inâ€" | terest than comments on the weather or the other : fellow‘s health. These thoughts were stirred by a local man who . stopped a friend on street on Tuesday and said, | almost in a breath:â€""How are you? Isn‘t: it awful weather? What do you think of the war situation? How would you like a drink?" The| last question seemed to be the only one he ex-: pected to be answered, and when it was answerâ€". ed in the affirmative, it may be taken for grantâ€"| ed that the other questions would be more or less! | fully discussed. Timmins, Ont., Thursday, April 13th, 193 How is the war situation toâ€"day? That quesâ€" tion has apparently reâ€"placed the old standbys of enquiriesâ€"as to your health or your opinion of the weather. The man who asks "How are you Canadaâ€"$3.00 Per Year There seems to be a striking similarity between the weather and the war situation. Both of them leave much to be desired. Both of them are things that little can be done to settle or to remedy. Both of them have to be endured with as good grace as possible. After all this, if there is anyone who will perâ€" sist in asking about the war situationâ€"and pause for a replyâ€"here is the answer. The war situaâ€" _ W TIMMINS, ONTARIO Members Canadian Week!y Newspaper Assoclation; Ontarioâ€" Qurbec Newspaper Association:; Class ‘A" Weekly Group OFFICE 26 PHONES RESIDENCE 70 Published Every Monday and Thursday by: GEO. LAKE, Owncr and Publisher Subscription Rates: tion is reminiscent of the case of a more or less amusing character named Charlie Fyles. He had created considerable disturbance by drunken abuse in a town near St. Catherines. Eventually, after all sorts of drunken defiance, he was ignoâ€" miniously chased down a lane leading to his home. He made good speed down the lane, but once inâ€" side his own property, he dared the other man to even touch the gate. The enraged citzien grabâ€" bed the gate, and Charlie rushed down his lot. Seeing the citizen pause at the gate, Charlie stopâ€" ped and roared:â€""If you dare to set foot on my propertyâ€"." The citizen made a rush for Charlie and Charlie fled again. When the citizen would stop as he thought of his undignfied trespass, Charlie would stop, too, and dare the intruder to pass this mark or that, or come any nearer. Eventually, the enraged citizen chased Charlie right into his own house, with the door hurriedly shut behind him. Then the citizen naturally stopped and slowly turned to wend his own way home. Charlie softly opened the door a crack to yell out:â€""If you dare to try to get into my house I‘ll have the law on you!" As the citizen moved disgustedly away, Charlie grew bolder. "I dare you to come into my house," he called. "I won‘t do that," said the abused neighbour, "for if . L did, I know you‘d be asking me then to go to bed with you." The war situation toâ€"day may be summed up in the fear of the ordinary man that the drunken dictators will soon be asking the civilized nations to share their bed. .. it sd Once Poland was called the "Shield of Europe," and more than once the Polish* people held back hordes of barbarians from overâ€"running Europe. Once it was shown that one man of Poland was worth twenty Turks when it came to fighting. Those who know Europe well toâ€"day admit that in case of attack it will be found the Polish soldier is worth several soldiers from any dictator counâ€" try. The bravery of the people of Poland is beâ€" yond question. It is written in the pages of hisâ€" tory. In additicn to courage, the Polish soldier has discipline, together with more than usual inâ€" telligence and initiative. . He has a cheerfulness, a resourcefuilness, an enthusiasm that makes him a dangerous enemy in the field. Perhaps, as much could be said for some of the other countries that have fallen prey to the dictators. But in addition to high personal qualities, the Polish soldier is well trained and equipped with modern appliances of war. Poland was a progressive naâ€" tion when some of the other European nations were as little civilized as they are toâ€"day. In the last twenty years since Poland again achieved independence as a nation, the Polish people have taken thoughtful and effective means to protect themselves from invasion or the loss of their in â€" dependence. Toâ€"day they have an army estimatlâ€" ed at 450,000 or 500,000 strong. This army in Ohe Yorrupine Advanee POLAND MAY "STOP HITLER" THE WAR SITUATION United Etatesâ€"$3.50 Per Year Poland has specialized in cavalry. There are said to be forty regiments of cavalry, these inâ€" cluding the famous Polish Uhlansâ€"light cavalryâ€" men armed with gun, bayonet, sabre and lance. The reason that Poland has given so much attenâ€" tion to cavalry is said to be the fact that all Polish military power is designed exclusively for defence. In Poland there are so many forests, swamps, rivers, without adequate roads and bridges, that the condition of the country would prove most unsuitable for mechanized warfare. The enemy that entered Poland with a modern army would be liable to be faced with similar difficulties to those handicapping Mussolini‘s forces in Ethiopia. The difference, however, would be that the enemy, instead of tribesmen to carry on guerilla warfare around them, would be harassed by a mobile force of the finest soldiers to be found anywhere. Polish cavalry can go anywhere in remarkably short time. It is interesting to note that Poland is credited with possessing thirteen divisions of hnorse artillery, special motorized regiments with antiâ€"aircraft guns, armoured battalions and inâ€" dependent units of other auxiliary forces. equipment, in personnel and in training is ranked by experts as among the finest in Europe. The Polish army specially features two branchesâ€" the infantry and the cavalry. This is not to say that tanks and antiâ€"tank devices and the other modern touches are lacking. Instead these form an auxiliary force as it were to the forces in the field. In fact some military students have sugâ€" gested that Poland has a force so blended of inâ€" fantry, cavalry and the modern mechanical deâ€" vices as to be one of the most formidable of fightâ€" ing outfits. The Polish infantry forces are given as 100 reâ€" giments, fully equipped with the most modern arms. This is admitted to be only an estimate and it is agreed that the actual number is much Those who will be inclined to say that even for defence, the finest infantry and cavalry and other land forces will prove utterly inadequate for modâ€" ern methods of warfare, should remember that Poland has not neglected its air force. The greatâ€" est secrecy has been preserved as to the strength of Poland‘s air force, but it is believed to be one of the most effective in Europe. Some time ago a German authority reported that Poland had 1,550 airplanes and 100 bombers. It is believed that the latter estimate is much below the actual number. Further, it is admitted by all that the Polish air force has achieved an efficiency °xâ€" ceeded by none and equalled perhaps only by the British, so far as individual talent and daring are concerned. Poland is credited with having over 25,000 trained pilots, every man oi them skilled as well as daring. A correspondent of the Manchestér Guardian recently suggested that Poland at present has 500 bombing planes, with a total of over 2,000 war planes, and that in addition to this, the Polish fliers seem to have a special aptitude for the work that makes the machines more threatening to any enemy than a larger number would be in less skilled hands. i There is a proverb about the folly of crying over spilled milk, but The Toronto Telegram apâ€" parently has never heard of that proverb, or, t least that it is just as applicable to wasted whisâ€" | key as to the upset product of the bull‘s better fhalf.

It seems. that a distillery at Grimsby has been unable to meet payments on a mortgage held by the town, and that to add to its troubles, the distillery license has expired, and the Mountâ€" ed Police in the course of their dutics had to scize the malt and spirits. The law requiries that all liquor seized by the Mounties should be destroyâ€" ed, and The Telegram seems to be appalled that red tape should permit so grievous a waste as the destruction of good liquor. A lot of people in this country will agree with The Telegram. They will argue that good spirits are particularly needed these times. Why should the Mounties kill all that good liquor? Why not turn it over to the town‘s people and let them punish it, and let it go. The Telegram would turn the seized intoxiâ€" cants over to the hospitals and for honest merâ€" cantile uses. It is to be hoped that a certain or uncertain Toronto newspaper does not take up the question. The certain or uncertain newsâ€" paper would use the case as proving how the capitalistic system has failed grievously, when good liquor is poured down the sewers by the ofi â€" cious police.
