No. 32 It would be difficult to over-estimate the importance of the Allied conference at Paris last week, or the far reaching effects of the action decided upon by the civil and military chiefs of the embattled nations of the Entente. The deliberations of the cabinet ministers and generals resulted in decisious which have the force of enactments by the various governments of the Allies,and before adjournment the following notable resolutions were adopted as defining the future course of action of the powers opposed to the Teutonic alliance: ““Representatives of the Allied governments in conference at Paris affirm the complete community of views and solidarity of the Allies. They confirm all measures taken to realize unity of action or unity of front, ‘They understand by that at the same time unity of military action, assured by the Entente and concluded between the general staffs, unity of economic action, the organization of which the present conference has regulated, and unity of diplomatic action, which is guaranteed by their unshaken will to continue the struggle for victory for the common cause. “The Allied governments decide to put into practice, in the new bunch of Canucks in trench work and warfare. Poor devils, they had a rough passage to the trenches last night.. They hap- pened to come along just when we were having our ‘evening strafe snd the shells were. drop- ping high, wide and handsome, One of them gasped out as he passed by: ““‘If it’s hke this here what the —— is it liké in the front line?’ I told him-to cheer up,as he was a sight safer i in, the front line trenches, which is a faet. “(10 p.m.): 1 have just come back after having been up in the front trenches. They have got the wind up for faiy up there tonight, expecting to get blown up by mines any minute. I think it is all tommyrot myself, but there’s nothing like being pre- pared, I wanted to stick around and see the fun, but the major ordered me out of the trench and I’m back here again. It’s a rot- ten sensation, though, waiting for the solid earth to heave you sky-high, though I would like to be around ta take part in the fight that follows. - You ought to have seen the major. when I asked permission to stay, ‘What the h--——!’ says he, ‘you go back economic domain, their solidarity of views and interests, They and attend to your mail: that’s charge the economic conference, which is to be held shortly at d your job.’ ald Well I hope their mine doesn’t go Paris,. to propose for them appropriate measures for the realization off. ~ of this solidarity. . “With a view to strengthen, co-ordinate ‘and unify the ‘diplomatic action to be exercised to prevent the revictualling of the enemy, the conference has decided to establish at Paris a permanent commission, on which all the Allies will be represented. “The conference has decided: First, to continue the organization already begun, at London, of an international central bureau of freights; second, to proceed in- common, and with the briefest delay, to seek practical means to apportion equitably between the ~~ {blanketg,.'and 1" ¢ Allied nations the charges for maritime transportation and cheek - the rise in freight rates,”’ » LETTER TELLS OF 7 LIFE AT ’ THE FRONT Forester Allen, who i is secretary of the Soldiers’ Aid, has received many interesting letters from the front, in response to the commit- tee’s communications, © Lance- Corporal James Turnbull, of’ the Princess Pats, who has been in the heaviest fighting af the last twelve months, writes a typical letter. He says: “:“*Binclosed : find Soldiers’ Aid : sheet filled up to.the.best of my ability.
