THE WAR SITUATION
The past week bee been. one of the
gravest, if not the gravest, since the
battle of the Marne and the truth is
• being brought home to the people in
this country more plainly than they
have ever before realized it. Ger-
man's final effort is a enightier one
t than was ever dreamed possible, and
their success, while certainly not all
thatthey hoped it to be, has been con-
siderablygreater than the Allies an-
ticipated. The sole aint and object
of 4the Germans appears to be to
smash the British Army, as they fig-
ure that with it out of the running,
victory for them will be assured. All
the past week they have beeri harn-
. mering at the British line, which until
the past two days. .has beaten /them
WT. Germany's sledge hammer blows
are now, howeter, beginning to tell.
The enemy have given it no rest. In
spite of colossal losses they have
pressed on, ever th-rowing fresh troops
into the attack, until •sheer weight of
numbers is beginning to .tell.: What
has become of • the.. Britieh. reserves,
and why they are eat =being used; we,
of course, have no mearte of knowing.7
in a 'stateme.nt made on .Friday, Gen.
Haig said that the British:were now
and every Soldier was to, die fighting,
fighting, with. their back to.. the wall
but promised aid from the French,
who were coming to their assistance.
Certainly any general would be proud
of the record of the British soldiers
during the past- week. They have
fought on day after day, without iest
and oftenwithout sleep. Doggedly'
and determieedly they have b.eId up
the enemy until they can do- no more
-
and at last the Germans are beginning
to make gains. Bailleul, a most im-
portant distributing centre for the Al-
lies, fell on Monday- and on Tuesday
the Messines Ridge, which „was storm-
ed andr captured by the British a. year
ago, again came back to Germany's
hands. These are Most ihiportant
gains for the enemy on their way tol
Dunkirk and Calais and can not lite
taken lightly. A few more like them:
and the Allies will have to retire to:
the coast. Great, however, as has been
rAthe success cif Germany,y, the channel
.
1 is still a long way off, and latest re-
ports state. that the British generals
have every Confidence in the ultimate
result. ,,The Allied plan is to let the
e-namy waste his power by his use of
fresh reserves in making his attacks.
To meet these offensives the smallest
possible number of troops are being
• usediethe brunt of the burden falling
on the British and the incomparable
steadfastness and fighting qualities of
the British men have deprived the en:
ernyitef much of the fruit of his en-
deavors. The British are, apparently,
being left to fight it out themselves.
- The longer they Can hold out, the bet-
ter it will be when the surplus lean -
power so lavishly being spent by the
Germans is exhausted, and the opPos-
ing force.s reach a stage of equality.
Then the reserves, which the Allies
are now sparing, will be used in a
counter offensive. As long as the
British can keep the Germans from
driving a wedge between them and
the French, they are safe. This has
been accomplished SO far, with a rel-
atively small number of troops, al-
though. suffering heavy losses, both
in men and material, and we can not
loole_for the tide to turn in .our favor
yet ' a while. 'Within -1 certain limits,
of course the British will have to ac-
cept their losses and tjght on, but we
' can rest assured that the supreme
corrunancl is watching oth the enemy
and the map with in ense vigilence.
and if the task of h4Iding the Ger-
mans becomes too mu h. for.the Brit-
ish, she will receive $peedy aid. In
the meantime we may expect further. di
sacrifices and even fi4rther loss of is
ground5 but no dobut kxists on the A
British front but that in the end the w
Allies will come into their own when a
the German side has spent itself. a

While the Government , contem-
plates the immediate calling to the
colors only of unmarried men and
childless widowers from 20 to 23
years of _age, it proposes to take still
wider .powers. . It may, under the
order -in -Council, call up any class
under the Military Service Act and
disallow exemptions' granted to. men
included in that class. Furthermore,
the order' Will bring within the
scope of the Milit4ry Service Act all
young men • who have attained the
age of 19 years sinee the passage of
that law- or who hereafter, reach
that age. Such youths who, are un-
married or childless widowers have
been added to class one under the
Act,- and such as are married, or
widowers with children are -added to
class two. Each of those classes
now comprises men between the
ages of 20 -and 34. •
If their class has been called to
the colors, young men will be re-
quired to report for service within
ten days of the date upon which they
reach theage of nineteen. That is
to say sitigle.men and childless wid-
owers will, after , the order -in -Coun-
cil 'become operative, have to pre-
sent themeelves as they- pass their
nineteenth birthdays: While the ex-
emption provisions of the Mllitary
Service Act will not • aptily to
unmarried men from twenty to tweri-
ty-three years of age and may be made
inapplicable,- • if the Government
thinks fit, to other classes as they,
are called, they will not become al-
together inoperative. ° They will
continue to apply to men in classes
not sinmnoned, to the colors under
the new order. The tribunals will,
therefore, continue in existence, and
their work wilt be speeded. up in
an effort, to secure men other than
those. to be summarily Placed in
the military forces. I is hoped.
that the call to men fro 20 to 23
will secure the men minediately
required for reinforceme ts.1 If it
does not suffiee, a furth t call' will
be made. In cancelling exemptione
grantedto men of those ages the
Government ha -s taken t e position
that few, if any, of them can be re-
garded as indispetable i the na-
tional\ interlst in industry.

Feeling that the military situation
on the west front is likely to continue

added materially to the strength of

action which will not fail to secure
recruits to reinforce the Canadian
expeditionary force , immediately
and in considerable n.u:Mbers. It has
passed an order -in -Council under
the War Measures Act taking to it-
self wide powers to enroll men in
