THE WAR SITUATION
The weather on the Western front
has again 'turned cold and wet, but
despite this fact activities have been
• resumed. Miring the week the part of
the Allied line held by the, American
troops has been. subjected to several
raids, „one or two a which reached
tile proportions of a battle. This is
the first time that the American
trisms have really come into the fight,
and if the result can be judged by first
tappearances they are going to prove
an ally to be proud of Although they
Are new to the country and the game
of actual warfare, they acted like vet-
erans and gain ,an exceedingly good
aecinnit of themselves. If the Ger-
mans expected that an attack in force
would intimidate the Yanks and allow
them to capture a nuniber of prison-
ers they must have been bitterly dis-
appointed. The result of the first raid
made in force ehowed that the result
was just the opposite of what was in-
tended, it Was the Germans that got
the surprise of their lives and who
lost the prisoners, besides which the
ground in front of the American
trenches was covered with German
dead. The Germans are evidently try-
ing out the whole line of the, Allies
on the West, as the French and Brit-
ish sections as well as the, Canadian
it Lens have each been subjected to
attack during the week, but with no
better success than that met at the
hands of the Americans. From Ger-
man piiisoners it has been learned that
these raids had been rehearsed for
some weeks back of the German lines,
the object, if successful, being to se-
cure information for the expected Ger-
-mkt.' drive. The raids, however, were
not successful, and it was very little
infnemation, indeed, that the Germans
were able to take back to their lines
with them, in fact the few that did re
turn were too busy during the engage-
ment e to gather information and
seemed to be glad to gee away alive.
On the Allies' iside steady prepara-
tions are goingforward to meet the
German offensiVe. The fighting of the
past few weeks has not given the
Germans much encouragement for the
success of a big drive and certainly
has not as yet disclosed any weakness
in the ',Allied lines. Nevertheless we
may expect an offensive in the near
future, and one on a large scale, too.
The internal situation in Germany de-
mands that their army make at least
one desperate effort to break through
in the west, or acknowledge the fact
that they are unable to do so, which
would be a deadly blow to the pres-
tige of the war lords. If the offen-
sive is not mashed h.onie soon it will
be because they are not ready, in
which case it is quite within the
bounds of nesSibility that the Allies
will not wait for them to complete
• their `efforts, but will continence an
offensive of their own. In either case
the next few months. will see heavy
fighting on the Western front.
The Russian -German peace terms
are still receiving a good deal of at-
tention in the daily papers. Although
peace terms have been signed, peace
does not reign in Russia by any means,
nor is it likely to in the near future.
It fa reported that Japanese troops
are already in Siberia and that she
will take inunediate steps to carry out
her plan of act:on. The Allies seem
to have given the Japs pretty much
of a free hand in mapping out their
campaign, and as the Japanese policy
is to hit first and talk afterwards it is
not likely that much will be known a-
bout her intentions in Siberia until
she has actually made a move, but we
can rest assured the move wilil
an aggressive one when it does come.
In the balance of Russia chaos and
anarchy will reign until either Ger-
many or the Allies put it down. Noth-
ing that hanneres in Russia need cause
aurprise as anything mat- happen at
any time.

, .. Fram France. -The following is a
letter receivedlby Mrs. Enoch Parker,
of Hensall, fr in her son Pte. Gordon
.Parker, of thej 161st Huron Battalion,
now serving lin France. He says:
• Dear Moth re -Its quite a while
since I wrote to you, isn't it? You
and Daddy wilj think I have forgotten
you, which, h wever, is not the cage.
We are fien and hone you are the
same. I wrote to Muriel yesterday
and hope she received my letter. It's
rather hard smetimes to write, ?wing
to there ,bein not much to write a-
bout. Ai I am enjoying a much need-
• ed rest behin4 the lines where things
up to 'dreaming of home and
are more, quie , we naturally give our-
selvesteh loved ones we left behind, When
we came over to take our part in this
struggle for the, liberty of the world,
which, to my I way of thinking is the
greatest and holiest cause man ever
fought for. Now I cannot write to
you as I would like. I have to be
careful for I have the censor to deal
with for one thing, and my honor as
a soldier for another, 'so you will
strongly understand why I don't write
things to You that no doubt, would
interest you very much. Nevertheless
I will do my best to point out to you a
few things that perhaps may be of
interest to you and to explain why, as
I have stated, I consider this to be a
Holy war. But perhaps you will net
agree with: reg, in my statement, for
you might w4nder where on earth
there can be why Christianity or holi-
ness in great i guns hurling men by
the thousands into eternity. Well,
there isn't if you read Christ's sermon
on the Mount, you evil' wonder how a
Christian could be, a soldier for the
very idea of killing men, seem a viola-
tion of Christianity entitely. If we
Jesus Christ we will see that He mea,nt
us to live by the law of love, but you
may think that there is not inueli liv-
ing by the law of love over here 011
the batlefield of France, where men
are killing one another by the thous-
ands with shot and shell, bomb and
bayonet, but Ask yourself if it would
be living by the law of love to allow
Germany to master the world by brute
force. Prilssianism wanted to domi-
nate the world, the Germans wanted
love and to set up a God that spoke
to dethrOne mercy, pity, kindness and
only by big guns. They wanted to
rule by brute force and deeeiltry. Very
well then. what 'ought Christian people
do. I am sure t would be poor Chris-
tianity and poor love to allow the
devil to reign supreme, don't you
think? You see ,that Christ's lae,v is
not only that we should love our en-
emies but that we I must love our
neighbos too, and that We must live
for the overthrow of wrong and the
setting up of Christ's kingdom pf
truth, mercy i and love, Germany's
rulers were bent on forcing this awful
war. They, the moral ma,d men, be-
lieving only in brute force. For forty
years they have been feeding en the
thought that Might was right, and
that it was right to do the things yin
could do at whatever the cost. Now,
you don't agree with a mad dog, de
you? You just up and kill him, 1Lit
is best for the dog and the corm-nue+
ty. Well Germany is a mad dog and
the quicker she 'is destroyed the bet.
ter. So will it be for the whole world;
We all believe in prayer. There is)
no doubt, not A unday nor mid -week
prayer meeting goes by, but Christian
people at home pray for the soldiers
over here on active service, and .we
sure need your Iprayers, too; ,that's
alright. Its very • comforting to us
to know that the folks at home re-
member us in their prayers, but it is
no use praying Ir good health and at
the same time live over a foul drain,
and its just as little use prayiir for
the destruction of such a systefh as
Prussianism, whfle we sit and do noi.
thing. God won't do for us, what we
can do for ouraelves That is one
reason why I consider this to be a holy
war. . That is why wennust fight until'
Prussianism is overthrown. No doubt,
we are paying an awfiel ghastly Price,
but it has to be paid, just the same,
and sometimes wheitE we stop and
think- things over,we tome to the con-
clusion that we are not fighting this
war as a Christian nation should. We
are struggling for liberty, and we are
fighting God's cause, but are we fight-
ing it in Gol's way? I don't think so.
We seem to be fighting it as if there
was no God, for in the first place, we,
as, a nation, with all the Christian
privileges, started wrong. .Were our
soldiers taught to realize when they
enlisted that they were gbing to fight
for God? Dia the country or the
Government ever tell them so? Now
don't mistake me, for I have been long
enough among both British and Can-
adian soldters to know just what kind
of fellows they are, and I am proud to
say that i finer and braver lot of
boys 'nevert lived than they are; brave
)sITOR
as Hone and tender hearted, but does
God count with the great ;bulk of
them Are our soldiers filled with a
Uassion for God to pull them through
.he awful encounter to vietory? I mit
sorry to say they are hot and that is
.hist where all the trouble lies. You
would think to read some of the news-
papers, that there was" no God, or else
that he did not eount. How are we
io win this war to crush Germanism is
all the cry, and the answer of the
Government and the Press is: Big
guns, Mountainsof munitions con-
sceiption, national service and foto ofbig battalions. Tey will say, how are
we to win with ut these things?
Well they, are not enough, for if we
are to leave God out -of it and forget
Him, we cannot expect to win ,and,
because' we do - net seek the help of '
-the Almighty God, we lose the greatest
part of our driving power. If .you
don't understanderead for yourself the
account Of all the great ware in. the
book of Kings and you will see who
God- was for and whom He Was a-
gainst. True, we have our chaplaine
here with Us, and they are all good
Christian men, and doing all in their
power to give men good advice and to
lead them to Christ, but when Tommy
goes into battle does he go into it like
Cromwell soldiere, determined to fight
in God's strength. I am very proud
to say that there are thousands of
goodChristian soldiers in our army
to -day, but in the main,. Torneny is a
fatalist: He -does not pray, neither
does he depend- on God to piill him
,through. It's over the top and the
best of luck with Tommy as a rule.
I believe that if this war had been
fought in God's strength the Germans
would have fled like sheep ind the
• world would have been at peace once
more I also believe Germany would
have won if force had been the decid-
ing power, for at the commencement
of this war she had four men to our
one and a great proportion of guns
and munitions: Humanly speaking,
the War was theirs. Paris was theirs
and England would have been theirs,
• also, but it was not by might or by
power, _ but by "My ' spirit," says -the
• Lord of Hosts, and nobody can read
about the commencement of this war
without believeing in Almighty God.
It has been described in the battle of
Waterloo that Napoleon by every hi -
man law,, ought to have won it, but
he lost it because ' God was against
him. , That is why Germany did not
rush through and take Ypres, Calais,
and that is why Germany will lose in
this war. Yet the Germans are always
saying that God is with them and on
their side; .every man of them . has
"Gott -Mitt Un,' stamped upon his
'belt and they go into battle singing'
'"A safe stronghold our God. is still."
But they are like the men .it the time
of Christ, who said: "Lord, Lord,"
but did not the things, He said. But if
our army had fought in God's strength
this war would have been over by
now. German militarism would have
' been crushed and we would have been
at peace once more. On the -other
hand if Germany should happen to
win this evar the world would not be
a fit place to live in. It 'Would be
crushed under the iron heel of brute
force and all that we regard as beaut-
iful and holy would be strangled and
we would become Waves. But as God
promised the hind of Canan to Abra-
ham, Isaac and Jacob aini their seed
forever, I believe it,hat God,, is using
the British nationiai a, key to unlock
the door for the Jews by driving
out the Turks and restoring their.
countryto them again. That also
makes me believe that this is God's
war, but sometimes I think that we
are trying to win at the price of our
won manhood. Take the drink prob-
lem 'for instance. It is the curse of
the British nation as well as the arm-
ies and it is facing us at every step
we take. Well mother, I did'nt intend'
making a sermon of this letter or
anything like that, but have tried to,
tell you a few things. How are all the
rest at home? Must close now with
best love and may God bless you all.
Your loving son,-GORDON,
