Aiready the Hindenburg switeh line has deen plerced. The allles have ap- proached to within a few miles o these noints both to the east of Arf| rae and to the south of Ypres but the Germane realize as thorough as do the allies the danger to their position alonz the entire line«if these two rail- yoad " centers fall into the hands of Tach's men. Streng opposition has had to be svercome in taking the Drocourt- Queant line but it can be expected that as great if not greater will be furnished by the Germans for the re- tention of these other peints. Upon the 'Aking of them therefore depends the driving back of the Teutons. On the previous attempt to get Cambrai the British make the mistake of ad- vancing on a narrow front. On this advanee that error is not being made ard the determination is to follow up tvery opening and every weakness of the enemy and while much thard fighting can be antieipated in that re- gion there is nevertheless full confi- dence that the allied armies will attain their objectivas whieh are needed to turn the Hindenburg line.

Sueh of course is an incident to the manner in which the department of fuetice has considered it necessary to opefate in order to overcome the habit of dodging responsibility and to treat fairly those who have already been drafted into the army. The jailing of fnocent men and the keeping of them under lock and key until they can prove their finno- tence, even though they may be resi- Aents of other citiés, operates as a hatdship. 1t is a case of making the many suffer with the few who have tvadéa the law but such is a methoa whith 18 not practiced at any other timeé ih seeing that laws are respect- LR (™ claimed that there is 66 legal authority for such sweeping dperations.

There seems to be nothing unjust in this appeal. Bul inese ought to get fair treatment un- cer all conditions and certainly from a4 commission which has been named to eliminate rather than create an unjust state of affairs. For that rea- son the action of the president will be watched with deep coneern. P GERMAN DISTORTION. Of course it gives those who are prodding the German peovle on to greater efforts and sacrifices, and those who are tfying to explain to them the great losses which aré be- ing sufféered, an excellent talking point when they can tell their hearers that it is the purpose of the allies to crush Germany and that no other fate ean be expected if they are sucecess- ful in winhing the war. Nothing of course is farther from the truth. Thé alliles have no thought of wiping out the Gérman nation. They do ' not like the idea of inflicting unjust hardships upon the German people exeept that it has be- come neeessary in order ‘to make them understand the kind of tactics which are being practiced by their war lords upon the civillans of bel- ‘igerent countries. The fact of the matter is that those who talk to the German people about the allies trying to crush them know hetter but are nét content to keep within the bounds of facts. Such would give an entirely different as- pect to the whole situation and one which wouid be likely to prove detri- mental to the interests of the imper- ial German government. For that reagon the distortion of the facts is recorted to. The allies are determined. and they have Iong insisted, that German mili- tarism must end. As long as it ex- iets it threatens the peace and safety of the rest of the world. Prussianiem and pan-Germanism cannot be toler- uted but that is a far different thins than the crushing of Germany as a nation. FIXING WHEAT PRICE, In fixing the price of wheat for the next vear at the same fizure which it has been for someé time new, $2.20 « bushel, President Wilson has un- dnubtedly forestalled another move in congress for an increase, Repeated- Iy has this matter been hrought be- fore congress only to be overcome hy the aetion of the = president. Where the price of wheat would have gone by this time had such a step not been taken there is no telling, There has béen a determination to| boost it skyhigh without due regard for the fact that it was not long ago that it was selling at 50 cents a tazshel and then a dollar a bushel from whicli the growers were geftinz satisfactory profits. Now the latter figure is much more than doubled and sreater crons beinz raised and still there i a disposition to advance it way out of reason. By the president's action the wheat growers are guaranteed $2.20 a bushel. This means that they can do their planting with the knowledge that it is not going to he dropped suddenly to $2 or less. They have something! definite on which to base their opera-| tions. The advantage of this cannot be disregarded for it means that even though they raise more wheat In the coming’ year than they ever did be- fore the price will remain the same for the government stands back of it Likewise it iz also true that if the number of new ships is such that it is possible to tap the wheat fields in other parts of the world, for it is known that Australia has quantities stored which it is anxious to get rid of, that it cannot affect the price whick the American raisers will re-| ceive, If they aré therefore disposed to be reasonable it cannot be consld- ered that the price guarantee is any- thing but in their favor. EDITORJAL NOTES. The kaiser’s hair ix said to be white fow, but that is more than can be safd of him as a man. The man on the corner says: It is about time for the kaiser to submit his Hindenburg line to a palmist. As the German chancellors come| and go the state of affairs must make the kaiser wonder when it will be his turn to get out. When it comes to disqussing the proposed revenue bill, it is a well known fact that many more than eon- gressmen are interested. When speculators lose on tickets to the world’s series it shows pretty conclusively what effect war is hav- ing upon the great natlional game. Austria is talking about another drive on Italy, but it well knows what the result of the last one was so it may never get beyond the talking point.

'We might think things are true which are not, or that things were perfect which possess no grace of form or style, if we did hot have some one to alarm us and make us awvare of untruths and imperfect- jons. Usefulness and peopularity do not always walk hand in hand in this life. Men have been more severely punished for telling the truth than they have been for stealing a horse, although men have been shot for both as being equally offensive.

You who read this column no doubt have moticed 1 am especially ford of pretty story of the goldfinch’s love cf haps you are not aware that birds and butterflies have a taste for colors and a memory ‘of colors. A canary birth will not bathe in a white dish after it has had an amber one; and some birds wiil flee from any person wearinz the same color as the gunher who shet into the flock, Here is a pretty story of the goldfinch’s love of ecarlet. 1t is called the thistle bird because it waits until the thistle has geeded and then lines the nest with the silk in such a perfect fashion that in embroidery noticed that a gold- finch nearby took a grea} fancy to it and threw the spool in the grass. The bird after carefully "examining the spool found the end and took it to the nest and patiently lined its nest with the silk in such a éperfect fashion that it _was found upon esxamination the silk could have heen rewound upon the spool, This lady left her work basket upon the piazza and g flock of six goldfinches came and scratched over the contents to find silk to line their nests which confirmed thée con- clusion searlet is the goldfinches fa- vorite color. 3 B There are lots of educated men who will laugh at vou if vou venture te say animals or plants have anything, which shouid be caliéd mind or are endowed with the ability to think.

Did you ever? Divine mi fills the universe and from it all God's creatures receive ability, com- fort and protection aecording to their needs. 1t matters not whether we are prejudiced or not against the Eng- lish sparrow we have to recognize his ability to adept himself to cir- cumstances. He is by nature ar- boreal, but he can accommodate him- self to any old way of nest building or training. Any old place will do for| a nest from a hole in the cornice of al city house to a hole in a Canadian five-ton hay sfack; and without tree or bush they train their young on the traffic-streets of a ci I saw a spar- row motner with a young bird that could not feed itself on the top of a three-story eity - buildg, seeking food in the street and feeding it. The voung bird looked longingly down at the busy street, but when it flew with strong flight it iit upon a telegraph wire and the mother fed it there. These young birds develop their wing- power, by exerci their wings as moths and humming-birds do, until they have no doubt of their ability to fly. The traffic-street of a city is a dangerous training place for young| birds. We do not think it possible for little children to feel lonely in city streets when they are out with adults seeing sights. It is doubtful if there is any- thing more inferesting to a bright- eyed, well dressed little girl, than some other bright-eved well dressed little girl. On a crowded city street re- cently T saw two such little girls meet. They were strangers, and the one passing on the walk sought to make acquaintance with the other little girl standing on the curh. She waited for no introduction but just wdlked up and took the other little gir! by the hand, and they smiled and their eyes. twinkled, and they just held hands. They did not put their gladness upon meeting into words, but just looked it, just beamed to one another. It was a pretty sight, if they could not express in words the pleasure they felt. It was true dem- ocracy meeting upon the plane of love. It was a heavenly picture of innocence enraptured” with innocence. The greatest type of heroism the world has ever known was shown by Jesus of Nazareth, and yet neither He nor tbe men who have followed in His footsteps are ever alluded to as heroes: but as martyrs. That re- fpect for truth which braves every peril without fear, and shrinks from no menance of pain or examplie of suf- fering in the line of duty; that calm- ness of mind in the face of injustice which amazes and mystyfies evil doers; that nobility which awakefied fman to the possibility of a race of supérmen, réprésentt a heroism above all others if moral and physical courage is the true definition of the word. History puts the butchers of the world abéve me saviors of it. Would there &ver have been a worid-war like the pres- ent if history glorified this true hero- ism instead of the courage developed and displayed in the unrightéous com- ficts of me The world lauds the wrong spirit, it inspires youth to sel- fish ambition, and is responsible for the evil which confronts its peace. Most of the war gardens we must confess are more notable for what they lack than what they prodnce.

We declare our present purpose to use this force guard military stores and render.| ud which may be needed and acéept- ed by Russians in organizing seif-gov- ernment and their seif-defense. We are to help the Czecho-Slovaks against the Austrian and prisoners. We disclaim any intent to interfere with Russian sovereignty, self-gov- ernment or territorial integrity, now or hereafter. The Bolskeviki, by the Brest-Lito- vsk treaty, put the law of Germany on the Ukraine, Finland, Lithuania and Esthonia, and ate now doing Ger- many's will in Great Russia. Czecho- Slovak troops. disgusted with the treaty, made their way from the Ukr- raine towards Siberia, intending to join the Allies on the western front by sea from Viadivostok, Fifteen thousand have reached Viadivostok, while eighty or ninety thousand hold | 200 miles of country on thé Volga, at the western termiinus of the Siberian Railway. The Bolsheviki have been in constant war with them. In this war the Germans and Austrian pris- oners, estimated at 200,000 in numper, are. co-operating with the bol- #heviki, and hold against the Slovaks the middle part of the Siberian Rail- Way. The Russians in the Murman Pen- insula and Archangel, on the Aretic Ocean, have revolted against the Bol- sheviki and set up a northern Ruseian Government, under the protection of American and Allied forces. Our al- lied ambaesadors have been driven there by the Bolsheviki. From this country railroads run south to Petro- grad and Moscow. Murmanek is five days steaming from London and two weeks from New York by an ice-free nassage the year round. In the light of these facts, it is im- possible to escape the conciusion that our landing troops in northefn Rus- sia and in Viadivostok is an act of war against the Boisheviki. Northern Russia has c¢ast them out. The Czecho-Slovaks have gought them and are fighting them in Central Russia and the Far Bast. We zre at war with Germany. We are now at war with the Bolzheviki. We are trying to save Russia by whipping Germany. We are inviting the Russian people to accept the aid of the Czecho-Slovaks and of the Allies in driving out pre-German Doishevism. Can we afford to do this h!l- or ineffscttye &Il! ¢ war, no matter how m purpose or how disinterested. BII We fight, We owe it to the cause, we owe it to- the - soldiers we send to fight, we owe it to those we would aid, to_use an adequate force. The Allied forces at the Arctie ports are threatened by Germans, Finns and Bojsheviki, They should be fre-in- forced at onee from Great Britain of the United States. In Viadivostok the “féw, thousand” of ouf anneuficement have grown, with 4000 Canadians, to 24,000. But we need more than those (o h-l the anti-German Ruseians and iovaks to gain centrol of the e of the Siberian Railway. fle the Bolsheviki are losing power and coheeon, while we confi- dently hope that Russian soldiers will flock to our standard as we advance, we would be most foolish if we sought in a weak way to exeuse what we are doing by using a emall force, which might bé trapped into a situation in which its pitiful numbers would cause its capiure or destruction. That which we now propose is military interven- tion, whatever we call it. It will 'h create a real eastern front, which even! néw exists In naseent form. I1f our action involves Russia in war against Germany, this is what we invite her to. It will not add to her sad con- fusion or injury. Her present anar- chy is worse than war. ‘e are merely urging hef to organize her self-defense against Germany’s attempt w0 subvert heér independence. We, who are raising an army of millions of men, need not hegitate to send a force of two or three hundred thousand men to form a nucleus of & new Russian army, t¢ break Germany on that side. We shall thus reduce her western strength far more than we shall otr own. It is vastly éasiéer to redeem our pledge to save Russid from Germany by kicking heér out of Ruesia now, before a treaty of peace, than it is to put her out by enfofee- ment of treaty provisions afterward. We may regret that we are “sauffl- ing in” te a pelicy of fatéful import. We may ask why we do not send an American general of sufficient rank and experience ta command our forces 2nd head the ekxpedition instead of a Japanese general. We may query whether our policy daes not lack ean- dor of declaration and foresight in ek. ecution. vertheless, as now initia ted, it must develap iiito a great suc- cessful campaign, saving Russia and crushing Germany. By circumstances and public opinion, we are again pughed into a course first objected to and then adopted. We may have lost months of pfecious time, and the pres- ent inddequacy of foree employed may cost us months more. Still let us re- Jjoice that the irrevacable siep has beerl taken, and be confident that our Government, it comes to realize the exigencies, will meet them ultimately with an army and a navy sufficient for the task.—Wiillam H.

It shot down some corps staff officers and others, and poured bullets into the huts.. Then it heard that some part of the staff had escaped along the road towards Pefonne. so started aft- er them and hunted them along the road, seattering them into the woods. How many of the corps staff were killed or what happened to the corps commander, is not known. Of prisoners I have myself seen many thousands. One corps had over 4,600 through its cage in the first 24 hours. I visited the cage this morn- ing soon after dawn and the staff had been at work all night. A column of 1.600 was just leaving, being mached along the road in column of route to be tdken farther back and there wefé stil] 3,000 in the cage itself. They kept on clearinz them in batches all the morning, but when T passed again at nodn the cage was as full as ever, And a few hundred more were just ar- riving.
