Back in the uine after a brief rest the Can- adians are again probing into enemy defences on the lef t fiank of the invading Ailied armies. The story tells that night patrols are typical aiong the Can- adian army front these days. The object is to make contact with the enemy, take prisoners and spy out the land and enemy strength in preparation for infantry assaults. The work is highly dangerous for the least noise brings enemy star shelis and mortar and machine gun fire. Leaving around midnight the men crawl forward in ail kinds of weather and meet ail sorts of obstacles such as barb wire, hedges and anti-personnel mines. With 20 to 25 men spread out they work along until the first streaks of dawn and bring back their in- formation. When coming under fire often they have to lie fiat, even in mud, and sometimes have to return and start ail over again. In the interview, Major Braden said: "Many would cali it quits when driven back to the limes. These patrols are bad enough when Jerry doesn't know you are there but when he is warned you are in for it. But the lads deter- mine to try it again and seidom fail to bring back a Hun or two and ail possible information." In the patrol described ail came back safely but often men are killed and wounded. This is the sort cf work at which Canadians excel and they must keep at it even on Christmas .

Canada gets a monthly government re- lease, "Canada at War" teiiing her story so the following extracts from the British publication may ,give us a better perspective of the over-all war picture. c By mid-1941, 94 of every 100 maies in Britain, age 14-64 had been mobilized in the services or industry. The rest were schooi boys, sick, retired persons or war invalids. 0f 16 million British women, age 14-59, over 7 million were in industry or the services by mid-1944. The rest were mar- ried women in homes. Ail maies, 18-5i, married or single are subject to miiitary ser- vice and ail women can be draft- ed to the forces or into industry. 0f the entire 32 million of work- ing age, by mid-1944, 22 million were in the forces or industry. Men actually serving in the armed services in June, 1944, numbered 4,500,000.
