IKEDIQAlt CORPS DOING GREAT WORK When we think of battles, auto- matically the deeds of the ground and airforces terries to our mind. We think of the great coverage given by the boys that fly and their great ef- forts in softening up the objectives. Our minds turn to the infantry going out in front to quell the opposition or holding on to ground, gained. We are thrilled at the exploits of parachutists. We look with pride on the wonderful operations of the artillery and engin- eers and of the auxiliary troops, Sometimes we do not give sufficient consideration to those gallant men and women who make up our medical corps. It is'reported that in this war more lives are being saved by this fine organization than was ever thought possible. The medical corps goes along with the front line or in- vading troops and are ready with their missions of mercy. It has been said over and over again that the surgeons operating as they do in very forward areas have saved many a life. The field ambulances work closer to the front than ever before and they are doing a work that has brought high praise in every field of operation so far. Some of our nurses, work not' only within the range of the enemies heavy guns but so far forward that they are almost front line troops. The splendid work of the medicos and nurses who are with the attacking forces, backed up by the splendid organization from that point to base hospitals, has been a feature of the invasion and of battles in Mediter- ranean area. * * e FEDERAL ELECTION? It has been said that there will be a Federal election in October, and then some one who thinks he knows says that is impossible as the Over- seas vote could not possibly be ar- ranged by that time. Mr. King no doubt knows or if he does not it is because he has not as yet made up his mind. On August 'nth the Liberal party are celebrating the 25th anni- versary of Mr. King's leadership. It will take the form of a dinner in Ot- taWa and Mr. King will speak not only to those present but other slin- ilar gatherings which are being held ,across the Dominion. He may make an election statement at that time or it may be that this will be a big build- up preceeding such an announcement later. We are sure to have a Federal election in the not too distant future, it may be next year, but all the guesses as to a date this fall are purely con- jecture. Two provinces are holding elections August 8th, Quebec and Al- berta. We have the opinion that no statement regarding a Dominion elec- tion until after these two ernvinees vote will be made. Saskatchewan has spoken and we imagine that the Lib- erals and Progressive Conservatives did not particularly enjoy what was said. * * HITLER SINGS A DIFFERENT TUNE One eannot help but notice the dif- ference in the tone of the speech of Hitler last week as compared with his arrogant historical utterances when he thought he was well on his way to conquer the world. Now he says "Enormous courage and strength of nerves are necessary to stand up in these times, but we shall not capitu- late.' This war cannot be judged by daily events. In a battle of such his- toric extent a timely success or defeat does not make any difference". When Hitler's forces were marching through the small states of Europe and the Russians were being pushed back Hitler was loud in his talk and confi- dent. Much of that confidence is shaken and it will decline still further if we, the Allies, give all we got to crush that Nazi spirit.
