leaves His people without something
upon which to rely, "The world has

but the assurances are great. "In thee
shall' all families of the earth be
blessed," is the redeeming promiee of
Eden renewed, and the Christian
colvenant anticipated "To Aarahain

"He mite not, and to seeds, as of
many; but as of one, and to thy seed,
which is Christ." This covenant 'vans
human history ;and overarches the
ceremonial dispensation, which was
"added.... till tbe seed ehould come
to whom the promise was made." To
Abram it brought personal greatness:
"I will 'Meese thee and make thy
name great." To him came national

vine ,guidance and protection. oGodo

"the Lord our God is one Lord;" and explicitly in a set of five principles,
the first necessity was ,the separation which he enumerated as "the practical
programme" of America's peace
terms, and for the maintenance of
which "the United States is prepared
to assume its full share of responsi-
bility," •
These principles were, he said:
"First -The impartial justice meted
out must involve no discrimination
between these to whom we wish to be
just and those to whom we do not
.wish to be just. It must be a justice
that plays no favorites and knows no
standard but the equal rights of the
several peoples concerned.
"Second -No special or separate in-
terest of any single nation or any
group of nations can be made the basis
if any part of the settlement which is
not consistent with the common inter-
est of all,
"Third -There can be no leagues or

of the world may be vested in the
league of nations itself as a means of

"Fifth: All interest agreements and
treaties of every kind must be made
known in their entirety to the rest of
the world."
Mr. Wilson restated the issues of
the sear as follows:
"Shall the military power of any
nation or great) of nations be suffered
to determine the tortunee of peoples
over whom they have no right to rale
' except the right ot force?
"Shall strong nations lee free to
wrong weak nations and male them

"Shall people be ruled and domin-
ated, even in their own internal affairs
by arbitrary and irrespensible force or
by their own will and choice?
COMMAND STANDARD OF RIGHT.
"Shall there be a common standard
01 right and privilege for all peoples
and nations or shall the strong do as
they will and the weak suffer without
redress?
"Shall the assertion of right be
haphazard and by mantel alliance, or
shall there be a common concert to

crossing the Canal du Nord and storm-

army had Cambrai well withia lts

southern flank.
The selected front ° for the Cana-
dian corps attack to -day runs from a
Intle south of Sa.uchy,Cauchy, the first
impediment being the steins of strong
enemy posts on our side of the canal
itself( for the most dry in this area,

Protected by wire, cevering all the
slopes of the hills the other side of
the canal, and behind all this flour-
lon woad itself.
The capture of the wood, however,
was but part of the brilliant strategic
plan:. While a large body of Cana-
dian troops was engaged on this fron-
tal attack, es many more were em-
ployed on n wide turning movement
against the enemy positions, render-
ed impregnable by the flooded canal
further north. These elements cross-
ed the canal a little northeast of
Inchy-en Artois, and then bent north,
taking the enemy defence in flank
all along these eastern slopes.
The enemy, no doubt regarding it
as a position unassailable by frontal
attack, was thus turned, and captur-
ed with relatively smell loss. Few
tanks assisted in this operation. Can-
adian gunners, supported by Imperial
heavy arfelleey arid by the flanking
batteries of the corps, prepared the
way by a tremendpus barrage.
The feature of this barrage was
that it lifted very shortly, being de-
signed to fully complete its work on
a given area. The infantry, flowing
up methodically, combined the lessons
of trench warfare with the tacties of
open fighting, digging themselves in
on appointed lines, where fresh waves
of our men went over them and
pushed the drive stili further ahead.
,- A feature of the battle was the ex-
cellent account given of themselves
by the new reinforcements,
"Good Canadians all," commented a
brigadier, whose command, by reason
of its fighting lessee in the past
seven weeks, had received a very large
number of these recruits. Tired out
as they were with a month of heavy
fighting, coupled with long route
marching, the veterans of the battles

WHAT YOUNG CANADA WILL WEAR
Once upon a time, even so late as -
the days when you and I were young,
It was the hideous custom to hand
down the patterns for kiddies' clothe
from one sister to another -aye, from
one generation to another. The drug -
Ing of children was taken for granted,
along with a few other atrocities,
such as armored corsets, 'and hair -
wreaths and full beards. Happily WO
have variations nowadays, and Sis-
ter Singe is allowed the same latitude
in choosing her costumery as is ber
modeen mother.
For some time we have hovered near
the first extreme, launched early in
this century -that of near nudity, with
Imre knees, short sleeves and skirts,
and open throats; Mid -Victorian lad-
ies were shocked at the brazenness
and foolhardiness of their progressive
sisters, and predicted early extermin-
ation of the younger generatioue. Aa
a matter of fact, it has been proved
beyonda doubt that this rained re-
• form has done as much, if not more,
• toward improving the health and emu-
! fort of one's children, thau any of the
other and more recent ones, Such as
ecientific development of self-control,

ed guitupes, relics of a fearful age, We
are now calmly settled in a sensible ,
attitude to -ward juvenile clothes, with
an occasional swing this way or that,
following the trend of grown-up styles
This is perfectly natural since from
time immemorial youth has mimicked
age, and daughters have ransacked ab-
sent mothers' wardrobes for finery in
which to "play lady."
Generally speaking, clothes for the
miss are leaning toward the frivolous
and betuffled type of the 18th century;
not leaning so far as to lose their bal-
ance, for in this as in other things de-
signers acknowledge the anxiety of the
times, and hence suppress any violent
thange, even though they should de-
sire it keenly. So we have this year

example, hls men rushed the positlon,
capturing twelve machine gene and
twenty prisoners. His valorous ae-
on cleared the way for his battalion
to advance. Later, when the eneMY
counter -attacked, under an intense ar-
tillery bombardment, this gallant offi-
cer displayed outstanding courage and
leadership, and though mortally
wounded by shell fire, continued to di-
rect and tad his men until death in-
tervened.

progreesing about GOO yeado• he was
seriously wounded. Nevertheless, he
continued, and advanced about 200
yards more before he fell ttueonscious
from exhaustion and lose of blood.
Brillant's wonderful example through-
out the day inspired the men with en-
thusiasm and dash 'sad contributed
largely to the success of operations.
Sergeant Raphael Louis Zongel, M.
M., of a Saskatchewan regiment, rush-
ed forward some 200 yards ahead of
his platoen and tackled a machiae
gun emplacement, killing the officer
and operator •of the gun and dispers-
ing the Crew. He undoubtedly saved
the lives of many of his opmrades.
Later, when the battalion was held
up by very heavy machine gun fire,
he displayed much tactical skill and
directed his fire with destructive re-
sults.
Corporal Herman Jones Good, of a
Quebec regiment-ilis company' was
held up by a heavy fire from three
machine guns, which seriously delay-
ed the advance. Good dashed for-
ward alone killing several or the
garrison and capturing the remainder.
Later Good, while alone, encountered

' MEATS -WHOLESALE.
Amsterdam cable says: Germany
maintains her readinese for peace, de-
spite repeated rejections of peace of-
fers from the Central Powers, declared
Admiral von Hintze, the German For-
eign Secretary, in addressing the
Reichstag Main Committee.
Speaking on the recent Austrian
peace proposal. Admiral von Hintze
said that the German Government's aa-
titude toward peace had been mani-
fested to the whole world in repeated
appeals.
"We maintain this appeal for peace,
our readiness for peace," he continu-
ed, "deepite the partly jeering, partly
sneering rejections which We have ex-
perienced from our enemies. In this
we are iu full accord with our allies."
The Foreign Secretary said that, af-
ter the previous failures, it had ap-
peared to the German Government
that it should not takeany further
steps in this direction, and that a
moment when the nation's enemies
were "suffering from war psychosis
and the intoxication of victory was
not a suitable time for new appeals
for peace.
"The* appeal, however, was Made,"
the Secretary added.

well as in the Pacific, she would be
able to threaten the Empire's trade
routes. If Germany were again placed
in a position to endanger trade and

and the British would be obliged to
pursue their colonial policy with rifle
