Had Britain or France a propaganda machine like Goebbels, the story of the pretended attempt on Hitler‘s life last week would assuredly be broadcast as the work of the Nazi to make a marâ€" tyr out of the Feuhrer without any risk to that mailâ€"coated and mucHâ€"guarded gentleman. The story reported that some lives were lost; a number were supposed to be injured; considerable damage was alleged to be done to the building:; and Hitler was pictured as ecscaping only by half an hour or so from the explosion. The hall where the acciâ€" ‘"Where stands the Legion now?" a man asked the other day. This is the answer. The Legion stands for the best in loyalty and service. It is true to its name â€" "The Canadian Legion of British Empire Service." President T. Wilson of the South Porcupine Branch of the Legion in his address on Remembrance Day spoke for his own Legionâ€"for the Timmins Legion, â€" the Kapusâ€" kasing Legion,â€"the Cochrane Legion,â€"for Kirkâ€" land Lake Legion,â€"for Iroquois Falls, for Matheâ€" son, for Cobalt,â€"for every Legion in the Northâ€" the Southâ€"the Eastâ€"the West:â€""We, as an exâ€" service men‘s organization, pledge to Canada and to the Empire the full resources of this branch, and we pledge our individual selves in any capaâ€" city we may be able to render service. But first comes Patriotism â€" loyalty to Canada and the British Empire. We pledge our united support in service for King, for Country, in the days of war that lie ahead of us." In the Remembrance Day services on Saturday and in the Poppy Day campaign the day before, the people whether they realized or notâ€"werse doing more than simply honouring those who died in the last war. They were honouring those who returned crippled or ill from the last conflict. They were honouring, too, the few who came back unharmed in bedy and in spirit after all the danâ€" There were some who believed that the new war would take away some of the importance of the Legion. The contrary, however, is the case. Before war was declaredâ€"when only the danger of war showed itselfâ€"the Legion offered its services, its resources, its organization, its influence, for the cause of Canada and the Empire. At the time it was given, the offer of the Legion could not help but be an encouragement to the Canadian and British authorities, but it must also have been a discouragement to all enemies. As pointed out repeatedly in The Advance, the Legion never does good by halves. The lHegion went much further than simply offering services. It made suggestions, developed plans, extended practical organization for the more effective prosecution of war preparâ€" ations. When war actually arrived, the Legion was ready. Not only were experienced men availâ€" able from its ranks, but the organization at once arranged to do for the new soldiers what it had been doing for those of the last war. Every reâ€" cruit in the new war automatically becomes a member of the Legion, with all the privileges of membership, and with the thought and care and assistance of the Legion ready for him and for any of his dependents. against the serious menace of foreign isms that have been encouraged by some to menace this country in recent years. The Legion has shown that it has discipline, organization, judgment. enterprise and initiative. Instead of its work deâ€" creasing from year to year as the years passed, its usefulness seems actually to have increased. For weeks past The Advance has been emâ€" phasizing the debt that Canada owes to the Canadian Legion, as representing the men from Canada who fought and suffered in the last warâ€" and since. Just as the sufferings of so many of them did not end with the Armistice, in like manâ€" ner their services have continued through the years since the last war closed. The Legion, as the representative organization â€"of the exâ€"servicemen, assumed the work of looking after the ill, the unâ€" employed, the needy, among their ranks. Those who have followed the work of the Legion know how much more effectively the soldiers have been cared for and the interests of the men and their families protected than if the work had been left to the tender mercies of government red tape. But the Legion has not been content with even this notable service to Carada and the Empire. During the trying days of peace the Legion has been a powerful influence for betterment and stability and progress. The Legion nas given lead_ ership of valuable kind in meeting the various difficulties and dangers that have arisen.

LAKE, Owner and Publisher IT WAS A NAZI BLOW The headlines alone in the annual number suggest a liberal education in regard to the mining industry in Canada. Here are a few to prove the point:â€""Ontario the Most Important War Metal Province"; "Quebec Second in Mineral Production in Canada"; "Use of Palladium and Platinum are Increasing Rapidly"; "Billion Dollars in New Wealth from Sudbury and Nickelâ€"Copper Mines": "Kirkland Lake Camp Spends $1,100,000 Monthâ€" ly"; "Products of Field, Forest, Factory, and Ocean Flow to Mines"; "Currencies Disappear, but Gold Goes on Forever"; "Hydro‘s Growth in North Keeps Pace with Mining"; "Canada Northern Power Corporation Extends Service in Quebec"; "Ontario Mines Battle with Menace of Dust Disâ€" several otherleading articles dealing with the place of Canada‘s mineral industry in the Empire‘s war economy. One of these articles, "Canada, Arsenal of the Allies in the Last War," noted the fact that from 1914 to 1918 Canada supplied over a billion dollars‘ worth of munitions for the Allies, as well as millions of shells for the U.S.A. The annual number of The Northern Miner gives adequate coverage of the large number of different minerals that feature Canada‘s mining industry. Review is also made of the mineral inâ€" dustry of the several provinces. Friends in the North will be especially interested in the article on British Columbia mining by Hon. W. J. Asselâ€" stine, Minister of Mines for B.C., a former popular pioneer in this part of the North. Next to Hon. Mr. Crerar‘s arvicle, there is one by Norman C. Pearce, one of the editors of The Northern Miner, dealing with the fact that "Gold â€"Shock Trooper in the War‘"‘ is battling for the Allies, and Canada is doing its part in providing these battalions of "shock troopers." There are The annual number of The Northern Miner is always so outstanding that to the people of the North, where mining is so directly important, it is News, with a capital N. If The Northern Miner ever issued a poor or inadequate annual number. that, too, would be News ,because it would be so unusual and outâ€"ofâ€"theâ€"ordinary. Perhaps, the annual number issued by The Northern Miner last week is the best in its long line of successful and valuable special issues. That, too, is news, because of its importance to the nation, though each sucâ€" ceeding issue seems to be the best to date. The 1939 annual number, however, has a nationâ€"wide appeal because of the added importance of the mining industry to Canada and the Empire in these days of war. The leading article in the anâ€" nual number is by Hon. Thos. Crerar, Canadian Minister of Mines and Resources, and representaâ€" tive of the Dominion on the British War Council in London. In this article Hon. Mr. Crerar shows the vital importance of the metal production of Canada in the successful prosecution of the war. He gives the encouraging fact that Canada‘s minâ€" eral industry is making good headway, and that the first half of 1938 was an allâ€"time record, with even better records possible and probable in the months to come. But Britain has no Goebbelsâ€"and wants none. Nevertheless, there is decided disposition to disâ€" believe any of the particulars given by the Nazis of that alleged explosion. The most general beâ€" lief is that if there were any attempt on the life of Hitler it came from some people high up in the Nazi ranks. No others would seem to have had opportunity for any such plan or plot. A considerâ€" able number of people, however incline to the idea that there wasn‘t any plot, any bomb, any exâ€" plosion, any deaths, injuries or damage, but that the whole story was simply a yarn to picture Hitler as a brave hero to his countrymen and as a gallant martyr to the world at large. as Jews controlled the insurance company ir which the building was insured. It was a simple matter for the Nazis to plant the bomb in the ceiling and to time the explosion in such a way that Hitler could be in another county before the final blowâ€"up. Then after Hitler and all the main gangsters had gone, and everybody else had been shooed out but a few who needed to be "purged" anyway, and, perhaps, the odd Nazi whose wife some higher Nazi coveted,â€"then, bring along that jolly old explosion! If Goebbels grew on British soil, however, it would be easy to give a plausible account of the whole affair. Any little Goebbels could find it easy to point out that the crime was very evidently a plot by the Nazis, with the intenion of winning sympathy for Hitler at home and abroad. The hall, no doubt, was owned by a Jew, so any damage to the building would be all to the good, especially dent is said to have occurred was the established headquarters of the Nazis, It was jealously guarded. Soldiers around the building kept all but the purest Aryans at a respectful distance. No man could enter that building unless he had true yellow blood of a Nazi in his veins. How, then, could any enemy of Hitler enter the hall, unâ€" noticed, plant an infernal machine in the ceiling? The Nazi explanation is that the alleged crime was the work of British secret service men. That, of course, is absurd. If there is the slightest truth to the account given by the Nazis then it would be impossible for any British secret serice man to enter the hall, and still more impossible to pass all the guards and superâ€"guards and plant a big box of expiosives in the ceiling of the hall. In any event, it is the first time in history that British secret service men have even been accused of this form of effortâ€"a form diametrically opposed to all British ideas and instincts. THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TTIMMINS, ONTARIO A despatch from Berlin on Saturday said that Marshal Herman Goering lectured the German people on their critical attitude towards warâ€" time hardships He denounced troubleâ€"makers who, he said, "ceaselessly importune officials with their troubles."

In other words, the dictators decree that people are not to be allowed even the liberty to One of the daily newspapers last week explained some of Hitler‘s stupidity and ignorance of world opinion by saying that Adolf has never travelled out of his own country. The trouble with Hitler has been that he has travelled too much out of his own country. He leff his native country, Austria, to take up residence in Germany. He stayed in Germany for quite a while. No doubt part of the time he wished he had had freedom for a little travel. In more recent years, Hitler has travelled to Czechoslovakia and Poland. He has travelled too much.
