War Loan a success. EXETER, ONTARIO, THURSDAY MAR 22, 1917 Our Corner, The Allies on the West Front are making it .very cnterestiag for ' the Germans just now. During the tveek ile tcb territory and many villages have been captured by both the French and British`. Intense artillery fire',sf continuous, 'tlte retreading Germans being pursued close up by the Allied infantry, cavalry and artillery, partic- ularly with rttihe high 'explosive guns. ft may be that the Germans are pre- paring a greater defense wark io the rear, and slhortening their lines for the spring offensive; but it ' is netoetheless true that now they are on the move they are getting noop- portuiity to dig in as they go. Over 900 square miles of 'territory were captured on Saturday and Sunday,in eluding the fortress of Bapaume and Pero ne The Russia people Russian p opt. have made: a determined and . apparently successful attempt during the week to get rid of the German influence that has pre- vented that great nation, doing her best in the great struggle. The elec- tive body, the Duma, has seized the reins of government, jailed several of the appointed cabinet ministers; the Czar has abdicated, and the army is backing up the people. The re - shit must be good, just how good depends on whether strong men are chosen to lead in 'the bringing about of the needed reforms. The minist- ers who were jailed openly opposed reform defeatedmeasures needed to support the army in the field, , and secretly assisted Germany. Russia will be the better for this revolution. She is doihg what' England did ' 400 years ago, what France. did 100 years ago. ;and what Germany may • do in the very near future. TAMAN'S PHONE 81a Mede In Italy, Be Wise on Hats.
