A CHANGE OF VIEWPOINT

Victory has wrought a swift change m the viewpoint of the British soldiers, ac- cordug to Phillip Gibbs, possibly the most famous of all English war correspondents, says the Seattle Times.
 Uaig's forces ''sccm to be buoyed up with the enormous hope of gcttinig on with this business quickly. They are fighting for quick victory and a quick peace, so they may get back to normal life and wipe this thing clean from the map of Europe and restore the world to sane purposes
 Captured Germans only express a hope that they will be able to defend themselves long enough to gain peace by negotiations and many of them go further than this and admit they donot care how peace comes so long as there is peace"
 The changed viewpoint of the fighting forces is a matter of far-reaching import ucc. It lends power to the Allied attack land it dctracts from the morale of the op- posing forces.
 British and French forces no longer talk of "wcaIug down the enemy, or destroy ing numbers of his forces, with aresulting great loss to themselves, so that his power of resistance will become sufficiently dim mshed to assure a victory They now feel that the wearing down process has been fraught with success and that victory IS mot only certain, but is in sight.
 To the German soldiers, this retreat IS uo "strategical regrouping' of armies. They know they are losing, that all their sacrifices merely are postponing the day of defeat. Previously, when they were on the defensive in the West, they were sus- tained by a conviction that another great offensive was being planned, which would favorably influence conditions in that the aue. Now, thet realize that the day of Teutonic offensives is at an end and that they must remain on the defensive until the end

NO RACE SUICIDE

Until school started last Tuesday some folks though. that Douglas was almost de- populated. bu, look al thc children streaming past to school soon dispclIcd that Illusion. There are almost as many chjl- dreu here this year oi school age as there were las. year. there being a total enroll mem in an .ac Island schools of approNi- mateN 22O children.
 Many O. the children belong to large families. it being mot unusual for five and six children of the same family to be in the sam. school Some families have new child entering school each year and keep p continual procession through the grades
 Surely when thc population of the IsI- and is considered with the total enrolment orta. schools, it cam bc seen that there IS mo race suicide here.
