THOSE MERRY EXCURSIONS Those merry excursions the < British troops take across African deserts in which they drive the Germans scurrying before them like rabbits, pnly&in turn to scurry like rabbits before their enemies, recall the feats of General Buller in South Africa, who boldly marchpd on the Boers only to march back again. Some time ago the allies drove the Germans ahead of them in Libya. At the present writing the battle is raging back and forth. Buller an- jounced after -his first trimming that he was going to advance, “This time,” said he, “there will be no turning back.” Well, he turned back, and for a reason. Ip this last advance of the British we are told that Britain had made every preparation in men and equipment. We know the result, ****** * » that Steady job 'Distant hills look green/’ needs to be re­ peated every time one becomes discontented with his job. The workei’ who makes a fair wage and who is able to save a little something every year, sometimes hears of the man who makes “big money” and takes to the road in pursuit of better wages. Some- . ’times he picks up a job that bids fair to put him on easy street? ,But that is not all. The big pay suddenly stops.. He loses a few1' days and his fine wages are almost sure to be cut in two. Often he -wasted many a precious hour in getting new work. Before he knows it hjs savings are gone and he must take such money as he can get. Meanwhile he has lost ground and is almost sure to 'be found in the ranks of the grumblers. We know of plenty of young men who are in this class. The young man who is not up . to the requirements of military service had better thank all the gods there are for having a fairly good job and get down to the work he has in hand, meanwhile cultivating a contented mind. Prosperity is rarely found on the roadsides. * * * * AT WAR WITH JAPAN What we -dreaded has taken place. Canada is at war with Japan. Already we know the power of our foe to strike suddenly and to strike hard. We are slowly waking up to the fact that Japan deals in deeds rather than in words. She uses language’ to suppress .thought and to mislead. The truth is not . in her. The United States has discovered this fact in a dim, partial sort of way. While the Japanese alleged ambassador (in reality he was a clever fifth columnist?) was entertaining the United States government with patter about peace, the Japanese government was distributing sub­ marines and ships of war and airplanes and soldiers where they . could, on the tick of'the clock, do, their severest damage. When the hour for action came Japanese airplanes- and submarines and ships of war rained death upon their opponents. Of course the , United States government was angry and uttered hot language on „ discovering thpy had .been made tools of. Meanwhile the suaVe Japanese ambassador put his tongue in his cheek*,1 winked his eye and walked out to. the thunder of Japanese guns. It has taken Britain and the United States a long time to learn that a liar never can be believed and to understand that no nation can serve God and mammon. • .. • 4-Piece Kroehler Suite, upholstered in Beau­ tiful Striped Velvet.

One. region alone is . capable of producing 250,0'00,00Q barrels of oil, he told his hearers. The figures used to tell of the wealth of coal to be found there are simply astronomical. And so on'with ■a round dozen other natural, essential products. He spoke, too, of one river that could furnish five million horse po^Wer of electric energy. And so the breath-taking story ran on till the mind, was wearied by the astonishing recital. What a tale he told of the forest wealth of that marvelous country! ■ ■ t All of which reminds us of the way Sir Sandford Fleming spoke and wrote of Western Canada in the early eighteen ffities, spoke and ‘wrote, by the way, to an unheeding country, for the most, part, ' " wealth at their very ' doors? _ ______ __ greedy eyes on Canada, though Canadians for the most part do not realize this fact. Will young Canadians allow this wealth to pass into the hands of strangers? Will the birthright of native- born Canadians pass into the hands of the adventurous foreigner? Strange things take place these gr'eat days. Will the 'Canadian government aid her boldest sons to go in and to possess' this land? These sons are equal to this task, but they will succeed more largely if given timely support and protection. * « J » » * « * » JAPAN, THE PROBLEM fior many a long week Japan has been one of the world’s ma- problems.
