SATURDAY, AUGUST 81, 1928,

The fact that the Allies are now
back again on the Hindenburg
line, after resuming the offensive,
is perhaps the
Tmaost encour-
aging news
. that we have

received for a Jong time, and in
this case assumes added import-
ance when it is remembered that
the Allies made their offensives
right on the heels of the terrific
German attempt of the early
summer, The success of the Al-
lies in making the great gains of
the past few weeks immediately
after Gerwany’s stroke was stop

ped must indicate that the Allies
have ample forces of reserves.
This.undoubtedly is due largély
to the great number of men sent
overseas by the U.S. On the
other hand, Germany has been
forced to call upon Austria for
aid, it being known by the Allies
that Austrian troops have been
behind the German west front
-for some time. Woighing the
two circumstances, thers van-be
no doubt as to which side holds
the greater amount of reserves,
and in this war in which attrition
plays the most part the side with
least reserves must break’ first,

Manpower Will
Decide the War

The Atlantic coast having been
rendered too warm for them, the

German submarines have now!

transferred
their activities
to the waters
of. Newfound-
land, and as an expression of their
sense of.fair fighting, have gunk
* a number of helpless fishing ves-
sels... This is, of course,. fully in
“ aeeordance with the rules of
“kultur”’, butis only one instance
of Germany’s violations‘ ‘of the
laws which govern fair fighting.
The Kaiser surely has a lot: to
answer for, and among the items
will appear these attacks on
non-combatants. ° There ‘is no
justification, nor ever can be, for
“these wanton. crimes, which in
themselves form a confession of
weakness, for if. the submarines
could get fair game, they would
-, not deséend to the depth of mur-
dering harmless fishermen,,

A number of. caudes which
could not have been. foresten. at
the beginning of the year have

oe _ added. ‘ta’ ,the
Sugar Situntion

Galle for Saving the. suger wit-

a uation, Some

‘veport decreased yield, ‘while the

sugar beet crop in the U.S. is
also less, Then the demands for
shipping ‘required for the trans-
portation of troops have cut down
materially the number of vessels
at disposal for sugar carrying.

Despite these considerations, |
however, if the people of Canada
will exercise economy-in its use,
there is expected to be sufficient
sugar for their needs.

The balance of trade between
Canada and the United States
is held by the latter by a large
amount, and
explains the
lessened val-
ue of the Can-
adian dollar in the U.S. and the
unfavorableexchange rate. While
curs is a young and growing
country, and it is natural that we
should import more than we ex-
port, there is much room for
contraction in the amount of. our
imports. Just because a certain
article is made in New York daes
nyt meun it issuperior to the ar-
ticle that could be purchased at
home. Far too much money is
sent out of Canada, -most of
which could be expended to equal
advantage at home, -A dollar
sent out of Canada is a dollar
that may never return, Canada
is engaged in the biggest war
that ever civilization saw, and it
will require every cent to finance
our-share, Consider, then, be-|-
for sending out our good money
to other countries.
