WOMRN 11S13NITION 1VOR1iERa It being now about noon hundreds of munition workers --gide, young ladies and women, some being attired in brown and blue overalls, were wending their way to their home or restaurantsforlencheon. And looking more closely into the crowds I could detect here and there a nursing sister, a V. A. P. or some other members of the National Service. In fact everywhere no matter whore I went I could see thousands of then,, women and girls apart from the army itself, were performing duties, same decidedly irksome and unpleasant and honestly endeavoring- to do their bit for the country's cause. I say rever- ently "God bless these men and wont - en of'the British Isles for their untir- ing and unfailing devotion to duty." But what of the others the ones who do not yet realize or do not care to realize the seriousness of the wet? T1 E IIEEDLES8 DIANY In the spring Britain was fade to face with a most serious U-boat men. ace, and is yet, for that mater, and the food shortage bad become alarm- ing but the call for everyone'to econo- mize and put his shoulder to the nation's wheel is eti11 uuheeded by many, First of all, we will try Whitehall. At luncheon time is a good time, for then we can see hundreds of Govern- ment clerks flock out of the Govern- ment offices—young men who, for no valid reason whatever, have not been called up yet, while discharged men are being re-examined, Some of these men, the "Cuthberts" of Whitehall, dine sumptuously and lead a fine lux. serious life. Then lookin the crowds on London streets or go into the theatres and you will see an occasional conscientious objector who sneers at the soldier. And there can be seen hundreds other young men, too, who are "exempted". leo into a restaur- ant and a "hefty" healthy man will open the dour for you or offer to hang up you bat and coat. For my part I am still able to do that myself. Of course many of these are foreigners who are not letting the war bother them a great deal. To my mind the waste of energy and material is appalling. Nearly every important street is busy with what owns to me superfluous traffic. Mot- or vans, horse vans and small carte scurry to and fro delivering small cr- to suburban houses. Petrol is did up. Horses are uses} up.

The Chief of the Imperial Staff de- clares that it is to be 75 per cent of the population not in arms that we have to for effort to defeat the Boche. A large portion of the 75 per cent is doing that, I have no doubt some toiling laboriously in the workshops and practising self-denial in many ways for the general welfare of the cause. But there are others. The trouble with London, which is not the cage with the ocher cities and towns to the same extent in propor- tion to population, is that there is a large element of foreigners who regard the war with passive interest only and who are only willing to engage in war work so long as it'enriehes their pock- et book. As for selfedenial and saori• flees, well there is "nothing doing." And yet there is nothing short of marvellous and wonderful how pluck- ily and valiantly the British people on a whole are "carrying on," despite the shirkers and self-interested class of people, The Germane are flniliug out that Britain has still that traditional spirit of bull -dog tenacity and courage and that she iut©nds to give Fritz a race for his money. lt, i etteeews Bushy Park, June 28/17, Goderlch Star Caught le Aluwer Knives A distressingly ead and deplorable accident took place last Friday an the farm of•Mr. Ignatz Huber at Deemer - ton, While Mr, Huber was mowing hay in a field near the house, his ten year old daughter, Pstronella, discov- ered a hen's nest in the hay.
