One Year After
It is just one year ago last Monday
that the Japanese bombed the Amer-
ican fleet in Pearl Harbor, and by
t t action brought the United States
- o the vvar.on the side of the Unit -
.ed Nations.
How destructive that surprise
bombing was, has been a well kept
secret for a year. But onthe anni-
° versary day the United States Secre-
tary for the Navy, Colonel Knox, lift-
ed the veil and not only the people of
the United States, but those of all
other United Nations were astound-
ed, if not appalled, at the havoc
wrecked on the American navy and
the success attained by the Japanese.
Out of eight battleships' riding at
anchor in the harbor, five were
sunk or damaged ' so badly that
their fighting qualities were de-
stroyed for . months. Three other'
battleships and three large cruisers
also suffered serious damage. • Two.
thousand, three hundred andforty-
three officers and men were killed,
1,272 wounded, and 960 were miss-
ing after the engagement.
It is now known beyond dispute
that to'' achieve such remarkable suc-
cess, the Japanese had been rehears-
ing the attack for months, during all
of which time their ambassadors
were at Washington carrying on
negotiations with Cordell Hull, which
they never had the slightest inten-
tion of bringing to a successful con-
clusion. These negotiations were a
play for time, and nothing more.
Fortunately ,for the States and
Canada too, the Japanese did not pro-
fit as much from their perfidy as
they .undoubtedly would have, if -the
States had disclosed their' immense
losses at the time, instead of with-
holding them for a year. The Japs
never knew that not only Pearl Har-
bor, but the whole Hawaiian Island
groups were 'left 'defenceless and`
could have beencaptured at that
time by them which would for the
time 'make them masters of the
Pacific Ocean.
But by `concealing the losses as
they did, the United States undoubt-
edly saved their Western coasts from
large scale raids by Japanese war-
ships and -planes. Likewise, they al-
so saved our British Cofurab$a coast
from similar destructive raids. -
It must be, a bitter pill for the Jap-
anese to swallow, to learn that just
one year ago they had a naval super-
iority of four. to one in the Pacific,
while today that advantage has com-
pletely vanished, • and that before
very long that great 'advantage will
have been transferred to the side of
the United States.

Too Much Service

paper is like nothing else on earth.
It is supposed to have a hand in all

munity. To '° right wrongs, real or
fancied; to dispense high and low
justice; to listen at any length and
extend unlimited sympathy, and
many ether things without money

It Is Different Now
Germany, in one form or another,
has repeatedly of late, been sending
out suggestions that there be no fu-
ture bombing of so-called "civilian
centres."
Such suggestions from Berlin are
coming far too late in Germany's
career of crime to suggest any
change of heart •on her part, and.
arise 'entirely from a feeling of
weakness and not from a feeling of
humani ty.
Both England and the States have
known for some time that Germany,
with an airforce not large enough to
operate on all fronts, would like
nothing better than to call off mass
bombing of towns and cities. From,
their point of view, Germany is now
seen as taking an entirely different.
view of the situation than it took
when it had the ability to bomb Lon-
don, Coventry, Rotterdam - and lay
Poland low.."
Both Britain -and America, how-
ever, are taking a different view. In
fact they are declining in advance
any such suggestions on the part of
Germany, or any of her Allies..
They have already declared that
their airforces will continue to avoid
all senseless attacks on unprotected
civilians, but have warned Germany,
that people living near military ob-
jectives, such as are found in Turin,
Milan, Genoa, Cologne and Hamburg,
roust either get out of their homes
or put up with increasing and un-
paralleled bombing attacks. w.
Germany has, of courser threaten-
ed "terrible retaliations," but with-
out being in a position to carry them
out. Things are really different now.

Back Again
Do you remember that white shirt.
front the men used to wear in Queen
Victoria's time—and later"? The col-
lar held it in place at the top and
strings tied around the waist held it
in place, below.
It Iooked like a starched white
shirt in front. But it wasn't. It was
a Dickey. Under it could be worn a
flannel shirt or any shirt, or just the
underclothes—and generally were,
but thea white front looked like • the
real thing if you could keep it on
straight. •
Well, the Dickey is back again, at
least in England, and London, Eng-
land, too. And it is all on account of
the war, which has had a devastat-
ing effect on the clothing industry.
So shirt dickeys are back in shops
again to save men's clothing cou-
pons. A dickey only takes one cou-
pon, while a shirt and collar calls for
seven, and even to get a sport shirt
a ,man has to part with five.
Clothes are really clothes in Bri-
tain these days, so the dickey will
help out a lot.
•
Beyond Mere Man
The St. Louis Star -Times says:
"What a' mere man can't understand
is why it takes so much closet space
for the average woman who con-
stantly complains that she has noth-
ing to wear."
Thousands of married men 'have
pondered that question down through
the ages. But it is still beyond them
—and always will be.
Racks 'of skirts and' blouses, suits
and dresses and coats, \ for winter,
spring, summer and autumn --- but
nothing to wear!
But then no mere man was ever
able to understand;a woman anyway.

"GETTING THE NEWS"
I was in the newspaper office in the
village the other day. Mrs. Phil had
suggested we send the. newspaper to
our hired man 'who is in England
now. He was born and raised ire these
parts and for that reason has, always
been interested in local doings. In
fact there was only one thing be lik-
ed better than eating and that was
talking about what, the neighbors
were doing.
Ed. Jarvis is running the newspa-
per now since the regular fellow join-
ed the army. I've known Ed. for
years. He used to be on a city paper,
retired from• that and then took over
when he was needed. He's always at
me to tell him what's going on around
our township. I never seem to be
able to think of •anything but he per-
sists in asking for something to write
about.
When I went in this time he said.
"Got any news for the paper this
week, Phil?" There just wasn't any-
thing to tell him, - Things had all
been quiet on our Concession for
weeks. He kind of laughed when I
told him, asked me to have a chair
beside the old box stove, and he sat
down for a chat.
The conversation drifted along
About things in the village and then
we started talking about our town-
ship. • I told him how Ed. Higgins has
a notido to run for councillor and of
how the Big Swede on the Ninth 0bn-
cession ..plans on dropping out be-
cause of the extra work on his farm
since his boy pined the Navy. Ed.
seemed surprised to hear this. I no-
ticed that he was fiddling around with
a piece of paper and a pencil but
didn't pay any attention to it.
He really enjoyed the story about
Jum Pennypacker, the old character
on the Second Concession- Jum, as
we all call him, grew his own tobac-
co this year. He mixed it up with
some molasses and other junk, which
he heard would cure it and then stuff-
ed it in a hole he bored in a tree.
Now that'may be the way to eure to-
bacco, but Jum messed something up.
When he smoked his first pipeful of
the stuff'it knocked him out and his
old.housekeeper had to call the doctor
to revive him. Folks on his conces-
sion are talking about writing to the,
toyernment and telling them that the
old fellow has discovered,a new pois-
on gas.
I was quiet surprised when Ed. told
me that he hadn't heard about old
Mrs. Bruce breaking her leg. • She's
over. eighty, keeps three cows and
soma chickens and has been as spry
as ever up until the time she slipped
OD the ice and broke her leg. She
was out in the cold for over two
hours.' The mailman noticed her and
went in to help her. The neighbors
have all been taking turns helping
her out.
When we got through Ed. just sort
of grinned and said, "I want you to
pay particular attention to the paper
next week. Read it up and let me
know what you think," I did, and
well, sir, you could have knocked me
over with a feather! There was all
the material I had been talking about
. . . the whole thing . . . about the
council and Jum and Mrs. Bruce. You
know, it made kind of interesting.

I guess when Ed. asks me I'll know
what he means after this 'when he
wants news,. -

GAMMA!
We all knew that another battle lay
ahead of us, and, we were not sur-
prised, though 'somewhat incon-
venienced', when' in the middle of the
night, September 21-22, we•�were or-
dered out 'of blankets • and •billets for
an immediate march. •, Remembering
the procedure before Amiens; we com-
�plied without demure, placed blankets
and equipment orf wagons be the un-
certain light of lanterns and candles,
and kbout 2 a,tn. found ourselveson
the road to the north and east: of
Duisans. For tht rest of the night, the
horses' hoofs clattered steadily over
flagstones and";gravel while we clung
to our seats and fought off sleep. Ln
the grey of the dawn we passed shat-
tered• villages, quiet and Gdesolate—
Bullecourt, Fontaine, Croisilles• At the
last heap of bricks we received the
order to halt and encamp with a
wilderness about us. We saw a few
jagged walls here and there over,
weed -grown brick -heaps, the remains
of harlilets; scattered, patches of rusty
barbed wire; old shell -holes green
with grass and some new ones, white
with exposed chalk. We were yet
some distance from the lines. Close
beside us appeared welcome company,
the Canadian Y.M.C.A., with delicacies
for each of us, gifts from the people
of Canada which we did not fail to
appreciate.
All that day we remained at Crois-
illes, the night also, and I resumed
telephone duty. We stayed quietly
.here until the 25th, and on that .day
came the order whioh we were wait-
ing, At night .our guns went into
position in the line near inchy, save
for one which went off to the left by,

horses and wagons went to a new
camp on a slope not far from

That day at the wagon lines we
tried to ' keep busy with trifles and
not to think too much of the morrow
and what it might bring. The time.
seemed to pass now slowly, now
quickly, and it was :hard to concen-
trate. There was a ,hush around the
lines, for we could' not but remember
the casualties of September 2nd. Yet
that had been our bad time and per-
haps fortune would be with us now
to make the balance even. At any
rate we must not let the Corps down,
and we tried to'talk of unimportant
things while waiting far the morrow
whose issue none could telI. •
At night we went to sleep as usual,
since the worst thing would be to stay
awake worrying. After a time I awoke
to find•all quiet, and wondered whe-
ther the attack had been postponed
another day.' After another sleep, the
sound of the bugle broke on our ears°
It was still dark, and we knew that
the attack would indeed be carried
out. We 'had our breakfast, limber-
ed up and set out eh the front along
a road packed with batteries and
wagons tie Canada's Corps moved
again to battle. Remembering a Lat-
in phrase, I thought to myself, "0
Canada, morituri to salutant." At
times -the moon 'shone, at '-times it
was hidden -by clouds. Once as we
halted a little, an infantryman met
us, his arm in a sling, a satisfied ex-
pression on his face. He had been
struck by a fragment from a whizz -
bang as he and his comrades Were
lying for the attack, "Lucky man,"
ran the comment, "gets a nice wound
and is out of it, just in time to dodge
the battle."
For us It was forward, and forward
we went until about 5 a.m. We drew
off the road at the foot of a slope,
swampy land dotted with shell -holes
con,aining water. We waited for
zero hour, and at•5.20 a line of flash-
es leaped out with a great roar in
front of us as the°/barrage began for
the most strenuous battle in the.ex-
perience of the Corps. After about
an hour, in broadening daylight we
moved forward 'again and soon reach-
ed the guns 'which had finislhedl their
part of the firing. • All about were
