EDITORIAL NOTES.

The Germans must he wondering whether it is going to be possible to bold any line
 It is noticeable fact that there are very few transfers of liquor licenses being made these days.
 The pincer increment. promises to become as famous in due time as the well known squeeze play.
 Lloyd George, it Is declared, sees victory, and it is generally conceded that he possesses good eyesight.
 if shere wasn't a rainy day now and then it would be $ waste of money to buy mackintoshes and umbrellas.
 The Teutons would like to stand and get rested but the allies insist that they must surrender or keeping nov = ing.
 From all indications the bolshev:k leaders do not intend to go down ,tc oblivion without leaving a recorl ct their work.
 The man on the corner says: It is useless for a fellow to tell Uncle San that he can take all he has, and ther kick over surtaxes.
 The fact that German troops are re, fusing to obey orders cannot be ex. pected to cause any let up in the ac- | tivity of the allied forces. With threatened shortage of gas olene it is difficult to understand how 1 it is going to be possible to fix a price lower than that prevailing. ] In its first drive by itself the Amer ican army has certainly dented tht enemy line badly and at the sam, time greatly strengthened it's reputa, | ton.
 l The success of the Americans to tn east of St. Mihiel is no surprise. Thel Lave distinguished themselve wherever they have been placed an' | will continue to do so.
 The Germans promise they will no let the Firms attack the soviets if the, 6re paid a billion dollars. Such promise to pay, however, looks nov as if it might become a scrap of pa per.
 German Notifications in connectio with sinkings by U-boats have bee so notorious that Spain should take n stock in the claim now being mad that England was responsible for tn sinking of the Spanish ships.
 if Germany was beginning to fet the effects of the insignificant Ameri can army when only part of what wa secured from the first draft has bee sent to Europe. no wonder 1t want peace now that a still larger selectiv service list has been enrolled.

NO REST FOR sLAcKERs.

The protests which were made over the way in which the recent stacker raid was conducted in New York and vicinity has evidently borne fruit. for Attorney General Gregory acknowl- edges that the agents Of the depart nent of justice did wrong and went teyond their legal rights in calling lron the soldiers and sailors to as sist in the work inasmuch as the city is not under martial law.
 But the acknowledgment Of the err TOTS which were made in throwing out the dragnets in the past does not mean that the government is to give I'D it's efforts 10 corral all those who have done their best to avoid regis tration and the seiective service draft. T. means that the department of jus- tee will in the future take care to see that its representatives carry on their activities in a lawful manner but that their efforts will not be aban- doned.
 The protests were of course not made in behalf of the slackers. They were prompted by the great amount of inconvenience and hardship which was caused 10 the thousands wh1 were rnped in but who had to be re- leased although in many instances not until after long detentions- It was this injustice which it was desired tc stop and that win be given due atten- ton in the future. while each and everyone who has registered has un- Goubtedly learned the wisdom of not oriy carefully protecting his registra ton card but of having it with him al Ah times even as does the licensed auto driver.
 The draft stacker must, however, b, rersistently pursued whether he is ir New York or elsewhere.

INCREASING eArrLE AREA.

It Is all well and good for Berlin to claim that the evacuation of the St. Mihiel salient had been underway for several days and that tho forces in that locality are already on their new ine prepared in advance, but it is per fectly evident that the same thing be raid about the retreat further west to the HindenburE line. There is no doubt about the fact that the Ger mans have gone back but the very fact that resistance was encountered, large numbers Of prisoners captured, to say nothing Of material and guns, makes it evident that they were made 70 move.
 Germany of course would ike to have it understood that it is giving ID without a struggle territory which it has clung 10 tenaciously for four vears in order to minimize the opera lions of the American forces. Such may be accepted by the German peo- pie but it will be taken with a large helping Of salt elsewhere for it is snown that the Americabs have the strength and the fighting ability to ac- -omplish just what Is attributed to shem. and to continue to keep the enemy moving in this new field of op- erat.ons. for the way has been opened for causing the Teutons serious trou bis in that locality whether the aim of the new offensive is the taking oi Metz or the increasing Of the area where the enemy. now that his forces gre defending a shorter lire. will be Espt busy.

STORIES OF THE WAR
Thrilling Deeds by Canadians.

A gallant story is told of two sig nallers of a Manitoba fielG battery which has fought since the battle of the Ypres salient i2 1916. through the Semme, Vimy Ridge. Lens, Hill TO-, Passchendaele and the recent battles They are chums, one coming from London England, and the other from Winnipeg. Ii was just before the open ing of a very important operation when it was vitally important that telephone connection between the bat tery and brigade headquarters should be maintained at all costs.
 They discovered that the line was down, and though the enemy was strafing with e<Adly shel!fire. they went to work to find and repair the break. This done they discovered that other batteries on the line were cut off and they proceeded to repair the
 whole line, just getting it into commis

 Tales of individual heroism are le-
