Very material changes are needed in many of the muddleâ€"headed ways in which Canada‘s part in the war is being conducted. Recent incidents make it very plain that Canadians are much more patriotic and loyal than the Government. This is illustrated by the earnest persistence with which Canadians young and old seek to serve their country and the Hmpire and the Allied cause despite all discouragements: ‘There is the specâ€" tacle of young men leaving positions to enlist, travelling long distances for the ‘purpose, only to receive scant courtesy in response to théir efforts to give their services. In some cases the response appears to be nothing more than a curt, ‘"We don‘t want you just at present." If the eagerness with which many have sought opportunity to do their part has been heartening, there has been deep discouragement in the attitude of the authorities. Men drilling without uniforms and equipment is only one more of the discouragements. The lack of adequate training places is another of the things that should not be. The local military authorities in the various centres have shown an interest and earnestness that deserves full apâ€" proval. The trouble appears to be among the higherâ€"ups. On the surface, it appears that these higherâ€"ups do not seem to know what they are wWith that glorious chance missed, it is not too late for Canada to do its full part even yet. Canâ€" ada has resources and capacity much out of proâ€" portion to its comparatively small population. In the last war Canada showed â€" despite all misâ€" takes â€" how man power and resources could be mobilized, and material assistance given to the winning of the war. Toâ€"day the situation seems to be that the Government is playing politics inâ€" stead of doing full part to win the war. It may be argued, with some show of truth, that Canada has not®lagged behind as much as most people fear. Instead of this being an excuse forâ€"Govâ€" ernmental political work in these stern times it is its own condemnation of cheap politics at this time. If what the Government has accomplished is more than the people believe, the fault lies with the Government‘s own attitude. The people of Canada want to be in this war to the very hilt. The Government should drop all this sickening nonsense about this being a strictly Liberal conâ€" test. Canada is disgusted with the progress made ‘so far. That alone is proof that the people do not consider Hon. Mackenzie King and his little coterie capable of running Canada‘s part in the war the way Canadians want it conducted. What is needed is for all in Canada â€" irrespective of party or other nonessential separation â€" to get wholeheartedly in the battle and help on to vicâ€" tory. The Red Cross, the Legion enterprises, the Salvation Army efforts, all show how effectively all may work together in a good cause. In these patriotic efforts there is no thought of politics or party. Why should there be? And why should there be any separation in the matter of Canada‘s part in the war. It is not a party sideshow. Uhâ€" less the war is won all parties will go down to destruction. There is no excuse for partyism in such a case.

Unforâ€" tunately, those who study dispositions and previâ€" ous examples are not so sure. Britishers, who have the notion that harsh measures do much to halt the cruelty of the cowardly have been comforting with the ‘thought that France would not be "soft," and that if Paris or other French communities were wantonly atâ€" tacked from the air, the French would not wait to weep before replying in kind. This week, howâ€" ever, Paris has been bambed and hundreds of civilians killed without excuse of military advantâ€" age. With typical Hun tactics special attention was given to the slaughter of children in girls‘ schools. As in Poland, Norway, Holland and Belâ€" gium, the Hun ideaâ€"if the Hun has any idea beâ€" yond wanton cruelty and destructionâ€"is to terrâ€" orize and intimidate the civilian population. It is not easy, however, to demoralize the French even by such hideous tactics as indiscriminate bombâ€" ing of defenceless places. For all the bombings in Poland, that country would have continued reâ€" sistance had it not been for the stabbing in the back by Soviet Russia. Free and gallant ant brave people are difficult, indeed, to terrorize. It is another matter, however, with the craven and the cowardly. The Hun is convicted of contemptâ€" ible cowardice by the methods he favours. The German is a brave man under cover of tanks or in the air with loads of bombs. But the soldier of toâ€"day saysâ€"as the men of the last war have often remarkedâ€"that the Hun has no stomach to. stand up man to man against the bayonet. Not.ing thls People who remember the last war ,and even{ those who know no more about it than they have| read in the history books, are tempted to that one of the reasons for the present war is! that the people in Germany have had so little| experience of war in their own land. The last war was fought almost all together outside of| German territory. France was made a shambles| and Belgium was smashed unmercifully, whilé German towns and cities did not even have the| verboten signs on their public buildings disturbed or disarranged. One of the sons of Mussolini of Italy some time ago shocked decent people: the world over when he described the bombing of civilians in defenceless towns in Ethiopia as "the: finest sport." Had he ever been the man on the ground while another savage was bombing from | the air, even his untutored mind would have realâ€" ized that bombing from the air has no relation to good sport. That son of Mussolini, however, was expressing a feeling that appears to permeate the whole German people in regard to war. S0j long as war to them is a thing in which other| lands suffer destruction and their own home places escape, there will be no real realization in the actually stupid Teutonic mind of the actual results of war. There is much logic in the popuâ€" lar idea that one of the chief causes of the present| was is the fact that the land of the Huns escaped the most of the destruction of the last war. When British airmen were occupied in showerâ€" ing places in Germany with pamphlets, there were many in Canada who felt that this form of proâ€" cedure savoured too much of the idea of lifting your hat to a mule because he had once worked for your father. To the "good German people" the use of bombâ€"carrying planes for such a purâ€" pose appeared to indicate that there was someâ€" thing wrong with the British head. Many very loyal Britishers wondered if, for once, the Gerâ€"{ mans might not be a little right. It has to bei admitted, of course, that there was consideraBle| method in the apparent British madness, for thel airmen engaged in the innocuous pastime of tryâ€" ing to convert the Huns by the use of printed tracts were gaining experience and knowledge of Germany territory and defences. This knowledge and experience has been of valuable service in later days. The average man is tempted to beâ€" lieve that had bombs been used in place of tracts the Germans would also have had an experience that would have been of value to them and to the Allied cause as well. trying to do, or how to do it. Muddle appears to be all three names of the chiei higherâ€"ups. What is needed is a definite plan and then a free hand to the men who know how to carry out that plan. Proper organization would right all the difficulâ€" ties. The annoying part of the whole matter is that there is not the slightest need for any muddle or lack of organization. In incredibly short time the Red Cross, the Legion War Services, the Saiâ€" vation Army Red Shield and other patriotic efforts were under way and actually functioning smoothâ€" ly and effectively. The reason for this was that Canada simply called on its resources andg used them, without thought of party, creed or other nonâ€"essentials. For the larger war services there are the same resources, the same genius for organ-' ization waiting to be usedâ€"nay, begging for the chance to go into action. It is about time that the authorities at Ottawa stopped their political nonsense and gave Canada the chance to mobilize itself for all branches of service in the war. TACTICS APPEAR TOO MILD PORCUPINE ADVANCE . TTMMINS, ONTARIGO The Ottawa Journal calls attention to the fact that the expression "at long last" did not origifiâ€" ate with the Du'ke' of Windsor, as the words were used by the Ottawa board of trade in a report in 1901. The Ottawa Journal will find the @xpresâ€" sion was used even before the days of the present Duke of Windsor or the former board of trade. bomb towns in France or Britain that were outside the military zones, there would be reprisals in kind. Few thoughtful people believed that these threats would ever be implemented. Recently, it has been shown that Germany refrained from this form of warfare simply for its own convenience. When it suited the Hun plans to bomb girls‘ schools, conâ€" vents and cemeteries, this was done as a matter of course. Thoughtful people among the Allies must admit that they expected it. On the other hand, the Huns do not expect reprisals in kind. They will be unpleasantly surpprised if they see some of their own cities laid to waste from the air. They are depending on French and British chivalry. Is there any real chivalry seeing French and British women and children wantonly murdered, when a little retaliation in kind might change the practice. British hearts revolt at the thought of slaughtering the "good German" civiliansâ€"women and children particularlyâ€"but would it not be better to sacrlfice a few of the "good Germans" in the hope of aaving the lives of women and children of a better breed. orator, membDer and Mail gives t sketch of Hon. | The above wa liam Sulzer, law Congress for ei of New York, | mining world as of the best and late friends of States has kno ested in minin »Oome win} S I am destiny My name |] Further, there would be less of them to carry on this war or plan for the next. The fact that the Germans believe that indiscriminate bombings may terrorize others, suggests the fact that they might be intimidated themselves by that sort of experiâ€" ence. The plan appears to be worthy of a trial in any case. In any event it would assure less desâ€" truction in the lands of the Allies as the German planes would be needed to defend their own deâ€" fenceless cities.

In Timmins there is a group of people Qf, _Italian origin whose fidelity and loyal‘y is equally evident.

What a lot of nasty isms there are in the world Communism, Nazism, Fascism, Defeatism! The Germans announce that they have jut sunk the British battleship Nelson. This is th* second time the Germans claim to have destroyed this British war vessel. The trouble with these British ships is that they simply will not stay sunk for the Germans. It appears as if Germany is going to offer to "protect" Italy next. For some time past The Advance has been adâ€" vocating a proper armoury building for the Alâ€" gonquin Rifles in this district. The need for such quarters for training and care of equipment is particularly essential now that it has been decided that the Algonquins are to go overseas as a unit to represent the North. As the Algonquins will be a Pioneer Battalion of the C.A.S.F., construcâ€" tion will be one of their chief works. Why not give them the work now of erecting the necessary building? Or if that is impractical, a building alâ€" ready erected for some other use could be adaptâ€" ed to military purposes to meet the need.
