United Statesâ€"$3.50 Per Year w nE ELCE » The Gideons are a society or association that make a specialty of providing bibles for hotels and similar places. There are few hotels on the conâ€" tinent that have not bibles in each room, if the owner of the hotel is agreeable. By means of doâ€" nations from the members of the Gideons and their friend# and admirers, funds are supplied to purchase the necessary bibles to leave in public places. Recently the Gideons presented a number of bibles for the rooms of guests at the Fraser House at Cobalt. Contrary to the usual practice the presentation was made the occasion for a little| ceremony and some addresses. One of the speakers‘ Mr. Eric Smith, told of a donation being recently sent to the Gideons by a lady who asked that a bible be sent to Adolp Hitler, alias Schicklgruber, so that he might read and learn to love goodness and mercy and to walk humbly. Mr. Smith said that in accordance with the lady‘s request a bible had been reserved for Schicklgruber, and that it would be duly forwarded to him after the British victory. Mr. Smith expressed the hope that when Hitler went into exile he might study the bible and seek repentance, forgiveness and comfort. It is a typical incident in the presentâ€"day topsyâ€" turvy world. Bibles for Cobalt and Hitlerâ€"Cobalt, so long known as "the best old town" that few would imagine bibles needed there,â€"and Hitler, so aptly termed by Premier Churchill, as "that wicked man". Bibles for the best old town and the worst old man, as it were. To suggest merely exile for Hitler, however, 18 to indicate that the present war is to be as vain as the last conflict. There should be no exile for Hitfer. Rather, he and all his fellow gangsters should be duly tried and sentenced to speedy death as a warning to others as well as their own due reward. The Gideon bible might be given to Hitler to prepare him for the justice he has earned. Even that mercy seems to err on the side of lenâ€" iency. Instead of being presented with a Gideon bible in his hand, Hitler should be awarded the sSword of Gideon, across his neck. The opinion is growing that so extensive is t,hc‘ cfa.mage being done at present by the Royal Air Force to military objectives in Germany and Gerâ€" man held territory that it will not be long before the Huns will be feeling the burden more than they can bear. A writer in The Edinburgh Scotsâ€" man recently suggested that the damage while very serious is not as great as it might be. The writer gives one reason for thisâ€"the camouflage, used by the Huns to hide the miiitary objectives from the British. The Advance would suggest another reasonâ€"that many apparent nonâ€"miliâ€" tary objectives are in reality the most valuable of military objectives. Of course, this might be held to be but another way of saying that the Germans camouflage their military objectives in double wayâ€"some they camouflage in the ways indicated by the writer in The Edinburgh Scotsman and others they camouflage even more effectively by using strictly nonâ€"military structures for military purposes. W'""' it lA O L Cbe Horrupine Admvance Timmins, Ont., Monday, July 7th, 1941 â€"When the Germans discovered that the British Air Force could bomb all sorts of structures in | Germany they sought ways and means to avoid at least the worst of the devastation. It was soon learned that antiâ€"aircraft guns were not enough| to protect military objectives trom the R. A.F. Nor| were the Hun fighting planes able to cope with the difficulty, despite their superiority in numbers. Bridges, railway stations, factories and docks were among the targets at which the British airmen took aim. The writer in The Edinburgh Scotsman says that the railway stations at Hanover and! Hamburg were completely hidden under a canopy of, timber rising on a gentle ramp to form a mound. This was covered with sod and shrubs, the effect from the air being the appearance of a road rqnnihg through an idle countryside. Timber structures, the writer says, were erected on lakes and other landmarks to completely alter their shape and appearance. In one case where immense oil tanks had been bombed, the Germans erected d@ummy houses on top of the tanks in the hope of making the R. A. F. believe that they had made a slight miscalculation in their location and were about to bomb defenceless and innocent homes. t 4 Some of the camouflage used by the Germans was %rer‘y ingenious, and there is reason to believe that on some occasions at least the Royal Air Force was G@eceived and the Germans escaped damage that 'would have made their way more difficult than it has been. The writer in The Edinburgh Scotsâ€" man does not say so, but it may be taken for ‘m,nted that these clever forms of camouflage of mmmry objectives are no longer deceiving the R. A. F. The very fact that a writer in an imporâ€" ‘lant British journal discusses the question ait length suggests that the authorities are now fully conversant with the situation and that the locaâ€" tion of military targets is being done on a scienâ€" PAGE PouUnr A BIBLE FOR HITLER HUN CAMOUFLAGE «ts alP: P t P P ~APâ€"AL LAAA L P L P P ul tific scale and there is no camouflage so clever to save the military objectives from destruction. It may be taken for granted that the ordinary forms of camouflaging military objectives is no longer effective. There is a danger, however, that' the other form of camouflage is still being used with unworthy effectiveness by the Huns. Inâ€" stead of camouflaging the factory in which muni-’ tions are made, what guarantee is there that churches and schools are not being used for makâ€" ing the tools of war? Is there no serious danger.’ that the Red Cross is not generally used to camouâ€" flage various military works in Hunâ€" held During the last war there were proven cases where houses and schools and churches and hospitals: were used by the Huns for strictly military purâ€" poses. The Advance has always believed that the| Hun mania for bombing nonâ€"military places is partly due to guilty conscience. Knowing the way they use nonâ€"military objectives for strictly war purposes, they expect as a matter of course that the British will do the same, and thus when they bomb schools and churches and hospitals they think they will likely do considerable military | damage as well as lessening morale. ! | | It might be a good idea for the Royal Air Force| to try a little indiscriminate bombing. The use of | this method by the enemy would fully justify any-l thing that might be done. Pérhaps, it would bel as well to respect the Red Cross markings, even if ! the enemy does not, and théugh there is suspicion | that military objectives are sometimes camouâ€"| flaged by the use of the Red Cross. But, especially | now that children will not be attending school for | school purposes, it might be a good idea to dropl a few bombs on a few schoolsâ€"open the schools._.| as it were, and see what is going on inside. Thel same might be done with the churches, and cerâ€" tainly with all public buildings, no matter how inâ€" nocent they may appear. It is about time that the Huns were made to realize that no possiblei kind of camouflage is going to save them or their buildings. forced into the battle by the treachery of its felâ€" There were few thoughtf{ul people in this counâ€" try who had any hope of the Soviet helping the i democracies and the cause of civilization. Russia| has had chance after chance to give aidâ€"to Po-' land, to the Balkan nations, to Greece.. Instefldl the Soviet chose to assist Nazism that it had preâ€" tended to abhor. There was an open trade agreeâ€"| h ment between Germany and Russia, and there are| ample grounds for believing that there was a se-'I 1 cret understanding between the two nations that| was in effect a sellingâ€"out of the world to dictatorâ€" ship. At the present moment, however, Russia 1s| giving the most valuable assistance to the cause of freedom and the right. In view of the record, l however, it is difficult to expect honest folk to waxl 1 enthusiastic about Russia as an ally. Russia was| j d \low gangster nation. At the same time it is well| |weeks. This, of course, was not considered posâ€" | sible if Russia had the will and heart to fight. The to admit that Russia is playing an important pa1t1 in helping win the war against the hordes of Hitâ€" lerism. Its serious resistance of the Hun 1nvaderst has taken some two million German soldiers awayl‘ from other warfare and is holding them Literally thousands of German air planes are needâ€" ed on the Russian fronts, and so are not available|. for bombing Britain or for use in other scenes 0f|« war. In every way the adventure into Russia is |â€" proving a distraction and a burden to Germany.! There is no doubt but that literally hundreds of‘ thousands of Germany‘s best soldiers are being sacrificed in this latest Hitlerian war. Equipment and munitions of war are being wasted on Russia, and this is as effective advantage to Britain and ; her allies as any of the other triumphs of the war. What many feared at first was that Hitler would be able to cripple Russia in a few days or a few mm | past two weeks have proved that the Soviet nas| + inspired such a spirit and determination. If that continues, Germany can no more conâ€" ! quer Russia than Japan can destroy China. The‘ | danger now to the less hopeful ones is that Russia .| may seek peace with Germanyâ€"may even join| her present foe. This should be impossible in view| | of what has happ‘éned on both sides, but in these | days there seems no limit to treachery and fou1| 1| dealing. It appears as if Russia intends to resist ; | to the death. In that case, Germany‘s case is pracâ€" i|tically hopeless. A few more weeks of such warâ€" | fare as has been in progress for the past two weeks will leave Germany in a greatly weakened condi-‘ tion in every way. The chances seem good for that. Months of war between the Nazis and the Soviet would leave the both of them combined them has been singly. The Russian policy, carried out with religious persistence, of fighting with the most vicious resistance, and destroying everything 1 T S C e‘ much less a menace to the world than either of d e e e 3 before each retreat, leaves the German advance, such as it has been, a very barren victory. So long as the Russians persist, the situation becomes worse for the Germans. ‘It would be one of the ironies of fate if the earnest fight of the one gangâ€" ster against the other proved the vital factor in subjection of both by and decency. Hitler seems to have dragged the whole world back to the dark ages. Even the crimes of long ago are being resurrected. For instance, the other day in Toronto a horse and wagon was stolen. A milkman was delivering the daily supply of lacâ€" AND SANDâ€"AND PLACER} s the German advantce, barren victory.

When the mllkman! ‘returned to his wagon, he didn‘t, because the wagcm' 'wasn’t there. Later the wagon was found aban-‘ 'doned, but the horse and harness were apparâ€" ently taken far away. Thus Toronto has its first | case of horseâ€"stealing in many a long year. So long ago is it since a horse was stolen in Toronto that even the oldâ€"timers do not recall the exact year. The last recorded theft of a horse in Timâ€" mins was in 1928â€"thirteen unlucky years ago. A boy who had actually been sent to the Sheilter beâ€" lcause he was accused of burning down a church in a rural area some miles from here, stole an auâ€" ‘tomobile and when the machine stalled on him i in a lane, he broke into a stable in town and stole a horse to pull his appropriated automobile out of the mud. That boy was too energetic even for this lively town. Reformatory authorities in Toâ€" ronto said he was a mental case,. He certainly mixed his crimesâ€"modern misdemeanors like car theft, and old stuff like horseâ€"stealing. If men had as attentive eyes for the naturai beauties of the woods as they have for the natural beauties on the streets and beaches, the average man would be able to tell one tree from another.

Provincial Police Break Up Pleasant members of the Timmins deâ€" tachment of the Ontario Provincial Police led by Constable R. O. Stromâ€" »erg, swooped down on another of the alleged illegal beverage rooms yesterâ€" day afterncoon about fourâ€"thirty and as a result of the raid the Provincial Police office in Timmins is now prettyâ€" wel filled with cases of beer. The ownâ€" er of the establishment and a waiter were charged with keeping for sale and will appear | before Magistrate CGould in the South Porcupine police court tomorrow morning. ‘‘The case will likely be remanded as the police are not quite prepared to proceed with news there is John Allen is said to have been the owner of the business, that is known as Allen‘s Beach, and which police allege specializes in the sale of beer. The beach is located about seven miles from Porquis Junction and is between the Junction and The popularity of the place can be judged from the statements of Constable stromberg who said that at one time there were thirtyâ€"five cars parked near the beach. Cars were coming and goâ€" ing at the rate of twentyâ€"five or thirty an hour, he said. When the police swooped down on the place there were between thirty and forty persons drinking beer the police say, and a large quantity of beer was seized. Fourteen full cases were taken as well as fifteen empty cases. Another case in which the bottle caps were thrown was also seized by the police and it is about threeâ€"quarters full of caps. Police say that these caps represent the sales~for two or three days and there are thousands of them. Also arrested yesterday at the beach was Albert Dangou, who is said by police to have been a waiter for Allen,. He also faces a charge of selling beer. Among the or forty foundâ€"ins there will be a number of charges laid. The charges will probably be "consumâ€" ing beer in public.‘" Observation was kept on the place for some time before the police decffied to step in. Constable Stromberg kept the observation and at the time they decided to step in he was accompanied by Constables Jerry Lynch and Jack Fulton.

Announcement from Ottawa is to the effect that there will be no rationing of gasoline in Canâ€" ada, at least not in the next six months. It is thought that any form of rationing of gasoline would injure the tourist traffic this summer, and the government wisely expects more revenue from tourists than from any form of rationing of gasoâ€" line. i4 H elling in ; wW.

No mention was to be made of the matter until there was further word by telegraph. The telegram arrived, but gave no particulars except the date for the reading of the proclamation. There was no inkling of what the procGéamation ccmtainefl. Apparently, the idea was to keep it all secret and confidential. The newspapers were especially required to keep the whole affair as mysterious as possible. So successâ€" ful was this plan that there was soon street talk that the proclamation was from the Governorâ€" General and was with the purpose of proclaiming conscription in full force and effect.
