NINE was when the soldier in the
field had to put up with the poorest

methods of provisioning and inadequate
facilities for obtaining and Transporting
large quantities of supplies, were respon-

uniform, vast numbers of them several
thousands of miles away from the home

Navy breakfast, dine and sup regularly,

men were used to in civilian life.

Guides All Allies.
You may be quite sure that the
last thing the government desires is
to leave any British soldiers in Rus
STA a day longer than is necessary to
discharge the moral obligations we
have incurred, and that, I believe, is
the guiding principle of all the allies.
Nor do I myself think that the time
when we can withdraw without dis
astrous consequences is necessarily
distant. But this is a case in which
more haste may be less speed.
eff the allies were all to scramble
out of Russia at once the result would
almost certainly be that the bar
barism which at present reigns in a
part only of that country would spread
over the whole Of it, including the
vast regions of northern and central
Asia which were included in the domin-
ion of the car. The ultimate conse-
quences of such a disaster cannot be
foreseen, but they would assuredly in
volve a far greater strain on the re-
sources Of the British empire than our
present commitments"

NOTICEABLE SIGNS OF CHANGE.

Every day brings more signs that labor is coming more and more to a realization of its responsibility we'll as its power. When the United States declared war against the Huns and announced the first Liberty loan. a man was thought none the less of by his fellow-workmen if he did not subscribe to Liberty bond: but now if he has no bonds. or if he refuses to give to the Red Cross; or buy thrift stamps, he is put down as a pro-German. If he does not work steady he is termed q stacker" and considered such by his felow-workmen, and his employers and the authorities. This is the sign that counts especially among the foreign born. It is true that most O. them may care very little of what Uncle Sam thinks or what an employer thinks but they have the greatest respect for what their neichbors or feliow-Workmen think. If such 8 spirit should become nationwide. and if our thoughts and words are crystalized into action agG;nzt such "slackers' it will be great help o our industrial efforts which is all that is need cd to win the war-unity of purpose, that of h@irsng the government.

vantage OF the ofier TO expedite the
