The recent favorable course of
the fighting seems to have persuaded
some people that the war is as good
as won, and that accordingly they
can throw up their war jobs and &c
back to civilian life. No doubt most
OF the men at the front would also
like easier and better paid peace
time jobs, but they are sticking to
the jobs they have now.
There is still tough fight ahead
Of us. ANY one can see that de-
sertions on the f1ghting fronts would
protract the war and reduce our
prospects of victory. Desertions on
the home front would tend to the
same result. The war is not yet
