WAKE UP, AMERICA --- IT'S LATE 1 The following editorial from The New York World -Telegram might well apply to Canada: Tho nation needs to awaken to the full gravity of the peril that confronts 1t. It needs to appreciate how badly we have been defeated In three months of war. It needs to understand that It le possible for the Unitod Nations and the United Stales to lose this war and suffer the fate of France —and that title possibility may be. conte a probability if the present tide does not change. It needs to realize that there to grave chance of the Japanese push - lug through India anti the Germans driving through the Near East, to join their armies and resources In an almost unbeatable continuation. It needs to get away, mice and for all, from We comforting feeling that while we may lose at the start we aro bound to win In the end. Only when fully uware of existing pestle will the United States do Its utmost. Pray God that awareness will not come too late, as It did In France! Production Director Donald Nel- son appeals for vastly increased Industrial output on a 24•hour, seven-day basis -158 hours a week, Maximum production, In short. Can we get It? Not on tho presuut basis—not under the psychology of recent years. Not until we quit thinking lu terms of less work for more money. Not while there le greater con- cern about overtime pity than over- time production. Not while further politicians are more Interested in higher prices than raising more essentials, Not while goverllllteut bureaus -- created to meet a depression enter• goncy that Is ended- -cu iiinue to grab for themselves mtutey needed fur armaments, Not while an army of lettere! press ugeuts t lainol's to promote and perpetuate activities that have no present need or value.

Not while CCC and NYA stretch greedy hands for funds to pamper young amen who ought to be In the armed forces or the war plants. Not while strikes hamper war production, despite a solemn prom- ise that they would stop. A Weekly Column About This and That in The Canadian Army "Form fours, rightl" Wrong, They don't form fours any more. But you knew that, didn't you? You have seen columns of sol- diers marching In threes, You have seen mechanized troops rumbling along the roads in a variety of khaki coloured vehicles of strange shapes and size., But you still wonder what the Individual Citizen's Army does in place of the old parade -ground stuff of: "Form fours"; "At the halt, on the left—"; "Pick up that step in the rear rank, there"; "Fix bayonets"; you know the sort of thing. \%e1I even though they don't "Lorin fours" any more there is still a certain amount of parade ground work to be done, It's something like crawling before you walk. And in this Army of ours, by the time you walk you really walk. Lot's take it in stage. — from uiviilan clothes to specialized sol- dier, There are four phases of train- ing for the mechanized specialist. Phase One Is basic training whloh L common to all arms and ser- vices.

One unit makes repairs under fire, carrying its workshop, forges, welding seta, etc., right up to the damaged vehicles or guns that have to be fixed up, You'd be surprised to see what can be done by thoroughly trained ]nen with the proper equipment right out In the middle of a field. Other units, larger and more fully equipped, are ready to handle jobs that require more time. These, of course, etre based at greater distances from the front to permit full-scale repair and recovery jobs to be carried out efficiently, "Do you moan to say they make mechanics out of ordinary re- cruits?" You plight say. Well the answer to that one is yes. It Isn't as strange as it sounds, You're not forgetting, are you, that most youngsters nowadays can take the engine of their fath- er's car down, overhaul it and set it up again, Or that many a boy of High School age knows mors about radio than Marconi opera- tors did a few years ago.

Boy Scout Loatmrs Louunended The value to Canada of the training of the Dominion's Boy Scouts by their 8,000 volunteer leaders, and an appeal to older persons to fill the places of the many Scooters who have enlisted, were emphasized in the radio ad- dress of the lion, J. T, 'Thorson, ,Minister of National War Serv- ices, during February Boy Scout Week, Speaking over a national hook- up, as a representative of the Dominion Government, Mr. 'Thor- son r'efer'red to the important home defense services rendered by the Scouts of Britain, and the similarly valuable work being done by the Scouts of Canada, He continued: "As Minister of National War Services 1 should like to say to every Scout and Cub leader in Canada that I look upon his work ail a matter of national import- ance. His status is similar to that of an officer in charge of a train- ing unit or organization. He is doing national service of a high order," 900,000 Boys Trained 11r, Thorson described as re- markable the record of more than 900,000 boys trained in good citizenship by the Boy Scouts As- sociation of Canada since its in- ception in 1908. He spoke of the high percentage of leaders and older Scouts who had enlisted, and paid a tribute to the known 94 who already had paid the supreme sacrifice of patriotism, '1'o help make up this loss Mr, 'Thorson appealed to "older persons unable to enlist" to offer their help to local Scout organizations. Mr. Thorson paid a tribute to the practical nature of Boy Scout training, and declared that the tests for the various Scout badges were genuine tests. "The dual teat fur the rank of lint Claw Scout," he said, "was the 24-hour journey to prove the lad's ability to find his way by compass and map, to bivouac, tu camp, to cook, and gt.nerally to live on his own resources," t.unilaence In Uoy Scouts All', 'lllwl'tion 1'eleriwd W the last that rrusiduut .l'1'atl,04[1 1). 1Lo0suww1t wan liunuruly rres1d0ut of tiny Moro tnan a million (toy NCUUtI UI H11ie11Ca, 11Y touted 1102.11 a rerient Paul() bl'uauealt 01 tlto l l'1' iILLL'llt, Ull 1,114 UCCa51U11 01 tl1uUl'll'all LUj' ucvot (1U0K, wYn011 art0r cuhuuwluuig Wile valuably eurV11.W 1'elluet'uu by American aUUU1s, thy 1'1'etlUC111 I A'Clured his cumlluenc0 that they would con - THE WAR - WEEK — Commentary on Current Events Second Phase Of Far East War Opens With Threat To Australia The lil.,t ltlul.a.' of the lar Eastern conflict ended with Ihu fall o1' Jit}a, the ''citulel island," of the [last Indies.

Naval Disaster, 11 must be admitted that in the Battle of the Java Sea the United Nations suffered a great naval defeat. The Allied fleet was hope- lessly outnumbered and lacked air support. It is becoming clear now that Japanese equipment was far greater in volume and higher in quality than .Allied authorities had calculated. At the beginning of the European war the Japanese merchant marine was one of the finest in the world, It is known that it is comparatively simple to convert merchant vessels into air- craft carriers, It follows that the Allies have greatly under -esti- mated the number of plane car- riers in the Japanese navy and explains the extent to which the Japanese have been able to com- bine sea power and air power and to hold control of the air in all their campaigns, Race Against Time Japan's sea superiority in the South Pacific has been increased by her naval victory at Java. She has destroyed the only fleet which could menace her limes of com- munication and is free now to convoy her landing forces to Aus- tralia, The battle will be another thluu to eliuctively play their part "in the American programme to piesurvu our !Wert)/ and bring peace on earth through complete victory over our enemies."

DARLING and CO. of CANADA, LTD. New Alaska Road Ready Within Year Interior Secretary Harold Ickes mid present plans call for com- pletion "within one year" of the United States -Alaska Highway. "The road will be protected front the sea by alpine country unpassable for airplanes for at least fifty per cent of the time dat to coastal fogs and storms," be !aid. "Along this route, trucks and tanks could move easily and quickly in a continuous lifeline between the United States and Alaska." Looks For Greatest Gamble In History Despatched from Stockholm and Zurich quoted the editul n:' the Helsinki ne.\spapei Sanomat as writing on his return frons Merlin eggs in one basket for spring offensive and that we will wit - a•18 the greatest gamble in his- tory." "The coaling German Spring offensive dominates every- thing in Germany," the Finnish journalist \vrote, "Tanks and the Luftwaffe will be thrown into battles in numbers never before experienced." In The Garden Because grass is a cool -weather plant, any work with lawns should be started just as quickly In the Spring as possible, experts point out. This does not mean, of course, that the soil should be worked while it is still wet. That sort of thing never helps in any kind of gardening. But once one can walk over the ground without getting shoes muddy, then the rake can be brought into play. In both new lawns or patching, the soil should be raked fine and level. Authorities advise sowing only the highest quality of seed mixtures and as thick as direc- tions specify. To get even re- sults, it is best to make a double sowing, one across and once lengthwise. Small patches can be protected from the birds by use of brush, Both new and old lawns bene- fit from rolling while the ground is still soft. Grass, like any other plant, benefits from rich Boil and an annual application of fertilizer. This improves the growth and also the color of the grass itself, SOIL BUILDING Perfect garden soil is a light, rich loam, which means a mix- ture of sand, clay and rotted vegetable matter. The latter is technically known as humus. Un- less one is lucky, it is not usual to find such a perfect combina- tion in one's own garden. But with a little care, something very similar can be created. Fre- quent cultivation in itself will go far towards creating a new gar- den moil. Piowirg or spading, plus harrowing or raking, will loossen up the toughest e ay, and after a few years it is amazing how much easier it will be to work. Apother rimple corrective will be the ir,ccrporation of hu- mus, such as weli-retied manure, green v. table matter lika a crop of weed=, clover or green oats. BOOK. SHELF NINE LIVES Ily AJi.e Grant itosn-n When Samuel 1'Pti'nllll first came to the Rosman's, ho was already a eat of character. Hut he \v a.; a;uof in the bct;;nning. Only grailualiy did he uni)end and permit familiarity; it was an oc- casion \\•hen the fiat purr was noted. Here is his biography ---the story of his development, of his overlordship in the family of the London ho came to know, and of the war he was to experience. Nine Lives is London past and present, for Miss Rosman goes back to her own introduction to it some thirty years ago. Sam's adventures have been many and his friends legion. He has accepted tribute from all cor- ners of the globe, and he ham taken his part in the war with the same royal . fortitude. He saw his mistress in gas masks, was introduced to an Animal Post, spent the nights of raids in shel- ters, and took soldiers, refugees and ambulance girls just as they cane. In a bomb -emergency, he even shared a dugout with a dog. Sant bore the ordeal well, hut the dog had a nervous breakdown. The best way to convey the quality of this enchanting book is to say that Alice Rosman wrote It. That it contains innumerable black -and -white drawings by Di- ana Thorne is to prove that it la a book of unique charm. Nine Lives .. . by Alice Grant Rosman ... Thomas Allen Limited ...

The word 'transfiguration' itself is not found in any form in Luke's Re- count, but occurs In Matthew and Mark, and gives the name to thio particular experience. Can we ascertain the nature of the change which was here undergone by our Lord? We seem to be justified In saying that there was some actual physical change in our Lord's body. While emphasis is placed upon the shining of His face, it is IIe who was transfig- ured, as though the change they ea\w in his countenance was but the visible manifestation of a change that had taken place in His entire body. Moses and Elijah Appear 30, "And behold, there talked with hien two men, who were Moses and Elijah, 31, Who ap- peared in glory, and epahe of his decease which he was shout to accomplish at Jerusalem." The importance of the death of Christ is here greatly emphasized, as it is in every other par. of the New Testament, by the fact that it formed the one major theme of conversation between these two great Old Testament characters and the Son of God. Peter's Suggestion 82, "Now Peter and they that were with hint were heavy with sleep: but when ',hey were fully awake, they saw his glory, and the two men that stood with bim. 38. And it came to pass, as they were parting from him, Peter said unto Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for then, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah: not knowing what he maid," The tabernacles wore little booths or huts, such as were con- structed for the feast of Taber- nacles, made out of branches of trees and bushes. Peter and his fellows were so taken with the sight of the felicity they saw, that they desired to abide on the mount with Jesus and the saints.

A cloud is the constant symbol, or if not always this, the accompaniment., of the divine presence. 86, "And a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my Son, my chosen: hear ye hint." One of the three heavenly voices which spake of Christ during His public ministry: (1) at Ii!s baptism; (2) at Ilis transfiguration; (3) in the Temple court, before His eeizure, when all was ready for the final sacrifice, The Astonished Disciples 86. "And when the voice came, Jesus was found alone. And they held their peace, arid told no elan In those days any of the things which they had seen." Luke him- self does not record the astonish- ment width these disciples knew at this hour, hut Matthew docs, in the words "they fell on their face and were sort afraid," which is followed by one of the most beautiful short sentences in all the New Testament, "And Jesus ORM and touched them and said, arise, and be not afraid." The Father's Cry 87, "And it came to pass, on the next day, when they were conte down from the mountain, a great multitude met hint, 38, And behold, a n1a11 from the mul- titude cried, saying, Teacher, I beseech Thee to look upon my son; for he is aline only child: 89. And behold, a spirit taketh him, and he suddenly crieth out; and it tearcth hint that he foam - rah, and it hardly departeth from him, bruising hint sorely. 10. And I besought thy disciples to cast it out.; and they could not," First this father asked the disciples of Christ to deliver the boy, but they, to their shame, were Impotent to help. Then he asked the Lord, The Lord is never helpless, The Lord Is never lacking in sufficient strength for delivering any person from the bondage of sin. Christ Rebukes The People 41. "And Joie; answered and said, 0 faithless and perverse gen- eration, how long' shall 1 be with you, and bear with you? bring hither thy son." Here is a case where Jesus allows His deep feel - Ing to conte out in words, Pain, and disappointment wring this cry from Ilis heart. Christ Rebukes The Demon 42. "And as he was yet a coat- ing, the (10111611 dashed hint down, and tore him grievously. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the boy, and gave him back to his father, 13. And they were all astonished at the majesty of God."

The Ministers were I -Ion. C. D. Howe, Minister of Munitions and Supplies; Hon. Angus Macdonald, Minister of Naval ' Services; and Hon, W. P. Mulock, Postmaster General. They were welcomed to the plant by R. C. Vaughan, President of the Canadian National Railways.

Puffing and blowing, the young Intl just managed to jump into a carriage as tho train left the sta- tion, The middle-aged elan in the oorner eyed him with scorn, "When 1 wus your age, my lad," ho said, "I could run half a mile, cutch a train by the skin of my teeth, and yet lie as fresh as a daisy." "Yes," gasped the young fel- low, "but I missed this one at tho last station," Ile wits tolling her his fa- mily history. "My grandfather was a poor, hard-working clockmaker. When he died he left his estate which con- sisted of two hundred clocks, to my father." "How interesting," s a e said. "It must have been real fun winding up his estate." A teacher sent this note to the mother of an unruly pupil: "Deur Mrs, Jones, 1 regret very Much to inform you that your Ron, Robert, idles away his time, Is disobedient, quarrelsome, and disturbs other studeels who aro trying to work, Ile needs a good thrashing and I strongly urge that you give 11101 One." This was the reply slie received: "Dear Miss Smith -- Lick ilial yourself. I ain't mad at him, They were having their first quarrel. "I'm disappointed" said tho husband. "When wo were first married 1 thought you were an angel." "Yes," retorted his wife, "I suppose that's why you never bought oto any clothes." "Didn't you hear the siren"" asked the A.R.P. warden advising an old countryman to take cover. With enemy plates droning over- head, the 111811 was still strolling about the streets.

L. C. Bond, D.S.O„ preaident of the American Rail- way Engineering Association, at the 43rd annual meeting of the association, which opened in Chi- cago last week. In his address to the directors, Major Bond, who is vice-president and general manager, Central Region, Canadian National Rail- ways, pointed out that the rail- roads are the greatest war ma - IT DOES TASTE GOOD INAPIPE! chine on the continent and the originating end of the vital lines of 0001010 nieation which reach wound the world in both diree- tinns from North America, Major Bond said that the or- ganization served "as a reservoir from which to draw qualified per- sonnel for advisory technical committees to perform some spe- cial service on short notice." He stated that recently one commit - too had been formed to consider a temporary revision of specifica- tions for track material, at the instance of the War Production Board, Another committee is en- gaged on an emergency study of ways and means to reduce rubber consumption. A third waa asked to arrive at a prompt conclusion as to the effect upon the restrle- tions of soda ash in the treatment of water for use in locomotive boilers, us all these materials, steel, rubber and soda ash, must be conserved for war purposes, "These are a few .illustrations of what must be expected in con- stantly increasing measure," Major Bond concluded. Birds On Wing Built For Speed Ground for "Tall Tales" Says Alice Boyd In Our Dumb Animals Hunters tell "tall tales' about the speed of the duck that got away, and there is ground for their stories. Canvasbacks and teal are known to fly at 60 to 54 miles an hour. A pheasant's but spend has been ascertained to be 40 miles an hour, while a partridge travels about 26 miles an hour. Birds of prey, such as eagles and hawks, have great flytng speed, but not for sustained flights over long distances. They are able be sweep down upon their victims with sudden bursts of speed, which in the case of the duck hawk, one of the world's fastest birds, hu been timed at 160 and 1S0 colics an hour. The t able has been estimat- ed as swooping; at live 1.1:.r Of 120 miles, though it does not fly straightaway at that Sl,eed. As a result of Lie It : racer held among liotititig pigeons, it has been proved that thelr host speed is not more limn a milt a util:rite. Pigeons can rise alu,ost vertically and attain their maximum speed quickly. Tho humming bird has real pick- up. High speod cameras have shown that it flies from a standing start at 45 napes an hour, which means that Its wings vibrate at the rate of 5G-75 beats a second. Perhaps the fastest fliers of all the birds are, as their nand: sat goats, the swifts. So streamlined are these birds that even their nostrils point backward. An Astatic species has been estimated to fly at the rate of posibly 220 miles an hour. I31rds are bullt for speed and their breast muscles aro 100 tines more powerful, relatively, than those of a man.
