Few alliances of. the past can boast of such a record. Few can show a purpo‘ more tenaciously and faithfully pursued or so fully., and gloriously realized. "If the complete unity and harmony of our actions is as ascribed to the justice of our cause, it is due JO the absolute loyalty with which that cause has been pursued by all those entrust- ed with the control of the different allied armies which fought , side by side with OUTS." The report takes up in detail the fighting, on Vaeious parts of the•Brit- ish front, which, the field -marshal states, was carried on as a part of the grand plan of the campaign laid down by the allied high command. At the close of operations, the report declares: Enemy's Defence Destroyed. "In the decisive contests in the period covered by the report the. strongest and most vital parts 'of the enemy's front were attacked, his lateral communications were cut and his best divisions were fought to a standstill. On the different battle fronts the British took 187,000 prison- ers and 2,850 guns, bringing the total number of prisoners captured during the year to over 201,000. These results were achieved by fifty- nine fighting British divisions, Which in the course of the three enmities' battle, engaged and defeated einety- nine separate German divisiense the arniistice was signed by the enemy his defensive powers had already been definitely destroyed. Continuance of hostilities would only have meant dis- aster to the German armies. and an aimed invasion of Germany." Glorious Achievement. Commenting on Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig's report, the Daily Chronicle described the operations dealt with as the "most glorious achievement in the whole history of the British army." "In Marshal Foch's strategic scheme, the part assigned to the British was most important and most difficult," the newspaper continues.

So great has been the effect produced upon the Germans by the Britientanks, he says, that in more than one instance, when real tanks were not available, results were obtained by the use of dummy canvas tanks." The Morning Post says that the Field arguers report demonstrates "how the British army, having been brought as near to defeat without be- ing beaten as any other army in his- tory, and standing between Europe and disaster, rallied its spent vigor, assembled and trained reinforcements, built new plans on the ruins of the old, waited until the moment came to strike, struck with more than the old weight and resolve behind the blow, and continued striking until the re- sistance of the enemy was utterly broken." The Post pays tribute to the wonderful strategic schemes of Mar- shal Foch, and conchides: "Field Marshal Haig ranks as the peer of the greatest among Brit- ish generals." The Daily Express says the crux of the whole of the operations was the storming of the Hindenburg de- fence, and adds: "But above all, the unity of command stands out from these pages as having given the victory." --- in France. rhnow God- walks in France to -day And liegere by the side Of each and every quiet grave Of those who nobly died.

Women's work in war has taught the strength or united effort, and the worth of community service, the beauty and the duty of labor for the public weal. The valuable lessons in food eonser' vation in the avoidance of waste, in generaleconomy, ought to bear fruit in a less prodigal use of material, money and time. The busi- n'ess lessons of war to women are in- calculable, if used hi the new values of activity which open before them in the present. England is using paper envelopes which can be turned inside out and made to do service a second time. s p BOOKS FOR CHILDREN • Love of Geed rooks is a Foandation for Good Character. When you find a child who loves good books, the noxious weeds of envy, hatred, jealousy and maliee are not so likely to grow in his mind and choke out the exquisite blossoms of love, tenderness, unselfishness, .gratitude and the desire to do unto others as they would be done by. The love of good books is one foundation for good character. It is the excep- tion, not the rule, to encounter sordid- npss, greed or insensibility in the man or woman who ltqws and loves good books. Robert Louis Stevenson once said that S long as a man had a friend, he had something to live for. Is it not true so long as one can love a good and beautiful book that life never will be without hope? No one, perhaps, has spoken more feelingly of the companionehip of good books than Richard Aunger- vyle, when he called them "the gold- en vessels. of the temple; fruitful olives,' wines of Engaddi; fig trees knowing no sterility and burning lamps ever to be held in the band," Happy are the children of this day and age in that they have so many good books; in that if they camel: buy, they can certainly borrow from the public libraries. Here is one truth, a very eimole truth, that all parents are under obli- gttion to teach their children—that if they can learn to love books, they can always forget the irritations of men and things; they can lay aside • cares and still their passions;, they can put,their worries and disappoint- ments to sleep, The war may be over, but all the betties have not yet been fought. Every .day there are mental battles fetal; greater than - that of the Marne or the advance on inly Ridge. Those who are' beet •equipped to fight • them are those that know the best thet ie in the good books of the world, Police interpreters are stationed in the principal streets of Paris to esaist allied soldiers. cd It)
