Other Mems Views
An Editorial That May or May Not
Square With The Forums
Opinions.

The Manitoba Free Press: A
| thing that Canada has not sufficient
ly realized is the fascinating OPP
portunity offered to us by the pres
ence in this country OF a great
variety Of races. We have let great
numbers of European foreigners
settle in our midst, and at the
same time have taken very little
trouble to understand them-the1r
mentality, their psychology, their
history, their capabilities, their
aspirations. For the most part our
ignorance with respect to these
the last four years shows that this
ignorance is fraught with potential
disaster.
Take the Ukraine as an instance.
Probably 1t is only the negotiations
between the UkrainiRns and the
central powers that have disclosed
to the vast majority OF Canadians
the Importance in Europe of this
element with which Germany and
Austria are only too ready to titrt
in order to complete the Impotence
Of Russia The majority OF our
Canadian Ukrainians are drawn
from the Austrian section or the
race. about the satisfaction of whose
aspirations the central powers, with
tongue in cheek. slyly say nothing.
But there are twenty-five millions Of
this nationality in Russia. These
Germany and Austria are more than
ready to pat on the back as an in
cipient republic.
LET us set to work intelligently
and INTELLECTUALLY to know our
foreign fellow citizens. The old pre-
war Europe was a powder magazine
of frustrated nationalities. 1t was
a hornets nest full Of potential
sting and menace. Let Canada say
10 all such: "A truce to ancient
grudges and animosities. Throw in
your lot definitely with this new
land which is giving to you and your
children a freedom and competence
Of which your ancestors could not
dream Work with us to make the
new Canada a land pledged to peace,
to justice. to social and industrial
progress"

FAMOUS TENNESSEE
Land CASE" APPEALED
Supreme Court 10 Pass on Judge
NuessIe's Decision on cumher-
land Tax Titles.

Bismarck, N. D., Feb. s.-Bur-
leigh county's famous Tennessee
land case reached supreme court
Wednesday via an appeal from a
directed verdict for the defendant
ordered by Judge Nuessie on the
trial Of the action in the Burleigh
county district court The Red River
Valley Land company, is the plain
tin, and Lyman Harris, as admins
traitor for the estate Of the late 8.
Harris OF Menoken. is defendant.
The plaintiff claims that 1t invested
approximately $500 in Tennessee
tax titles sold by Harris as agent
for a southern land company, and
that when its representatives in
vaded the Cumberland mountain
region to claim their property they
found the hardy mountaineers
guarding their tax titles with guns.
In some manner the Tennesseeans,
il is claimed, heard Of the deal that
was being pulled off in the far
northwest, and they Immediately
proceeded to take care Of their taxes.
As a result, the plaintiff found its
tax titles OF little value. In the orig
inaI suit damages in the sum of
$4,000 were claimed. but on trial
it is said to have developed that this
was the estimated value Of the land,
and not the amount actually invest
ed in tax titles.

Morale Will Win The
War
by Granville Forteseue Of The
Viuilantes.l

(By Granville Forteseue OF The
VigiIantes.l
Major Fortescue left college to
ioin the Rough Riders at the be-
ginning of the Spanish war and
was wounded at San Juan Hill.
He has seen service in the Philip
pines and witnessed the siege of
Port Arthur as a military at
tache with the Japanese army.
As q correspondent Of The Lon
don Daily Telegraph he was with
the Belgian, French, English,
Russian and Turkish armies in
the field. He is the author of AT
the Front with Three Armies"
Russia, The Balkans, and The
Dardanelles" and What of The
Dardanelles?
Morale will win the war. So soon
as our hopeful citizens discover them
to be but of local effect, money, ma
chine guns, aeroplanss, submarines,
mustard gas, men, munitions, can
non, food, ships, sink, one by one,
below the horizon OF public interest
as decisive factors" New tactics,
new technique, heralded as certain
to overcome the innate strength Of
trench defense, are tried, only to be
quietly abandoned when some SER
ious military defect is discovered.
The tanks, perhaps the triumph of
technique and material, lie wrecked
in the path of the tank cannon. Each
new material element meets its
match.
Not that the material elements do
not constitute a vital and valuable
proportion Of war effort and effect.
To be precise, such elements, con-
stitute twenty-five per cent Of the
tactical value Of any fighting or
ganization. Add to the quality and
range of the soldiers rifle, the worth
and weatherproofness of his shoes,
the quality and regularity Of his
ration, the warmth Of his clothes, the
protection afforded by his gas mask,
the technique Of his rifle grenade;
add to these the thousand and one

Influence Of Morale.
Again and again, does the great

JUSTICE FOR THE Q. M. o.


why don't you join the army?'' is
me question frequently put, half in
5est, half in earnest, to members of
the quartermasters' department by
those in other branches of the SER
Arice.
Nor are some civilians above an oe-
SEASONAL slurring remark that indi-
Gates a half contemptuous feeling to-
ward those who have Joined this
highly important branch of the ser
aice.
The QuarteTmaster's department is
no refuge for slackers. Casualties
have been and will continue to be
numerous in this department.
It Is the hardest kind Of work, a
fhankless detail task requiring con-
slant watchfulnass and constant
alertness. There is no hope Of per-
sonal glory in it. It is absolutely
vital work, and it is far from being
without danger.
Most of the men who have joined
the corps have done so because they
Eelt their previous training best fitted
them for it; or because at the train
ang camps their instructors advised
them to Join this department, in
which there was real need Of men
and officers. /
Most Of them are men who are
thinking more Of bringing the war to
3 speedy termination than of their
personal safety or personal glory. In
stead OF being accused Of selfish de-
aires TO escape combat, they should
BE given the credit for an unselfish
6eBire to do the work for which they
hra best fitted.
