The British not only sustained the shock, but were able to bring up sufficient fresh troops in order to. launch another offensive action on an even larger scale than the preceding one, and now, at this writing, the despatches show a fresh drive is on, and the Huns are retreating. retreating.

BRIBERY TO SECURE PEACE. Recent revelations from Paris and New York regarding the huge corruption corruption funds intrusted to the arch-manipulator arch-manipulator "Bolo Pasha" to bribe French publications and publicists for peace are of supreme importance, coming at this time when certain channels leading from Continental Europe to these shores are laden with so-called peace talk and peace terms that may be granted by the Kaiser. If Germany is winning or. ié likely to win, why seek to secure peace through bribery of officials and alleged alleged molders of public opinioh ? longer, as there x is every reasonable assurance that they will, it will not need a prophet to tell who shall dictate dictate terms of peace.

The visit of the French High Commission Commission to Denver recently, and the splendid impression they left upon all, serve to remind us that the French republic republic •£ this day, is vastly different from the French monarchy of 187(k The new France should be answer sufficient to the arguments with which we are surfeited from German sources that monarchy and. efficiency go together, together, and that without the one there cannot be the other, or that militarism is the concomitant of both. s We know that the French monarchy dismally failed in 1870, and was easily overwhelmned by Germany in a strikingly strikingly brief time. Its people were : then without heart for they had no faith in Napoleon the Little. They had nothing to fight for, knowing that victory only meant a continuance of a monarchy and its accompanying degeneracies. degeneracies. -- . But with France after defeat came a thorough regeneration. A vastly different people met the German onslaught onslaught . three years ago. .Instead of Metz there was a Marne, instead of a Sedan there were the glories of a Somme. Instead of surrender after surrender, there are three years of national courage and- efficiency such as,even France hardly, expected to result. result.

CANADA Will Class One Provide The One Hundred Thousand Men ? i It will be greatly to the advantage of Canada if the entire quota of 100,000 men to be Yaised under the Military Service Act can be secured from the first class; that is, from the men between the ages of 20 and 34 who were unmarried or widowers without children on July 6th, 1917. ~ This is almost self-eyicfent for the following reasons: it 13 admitted that, between the ages of 20 and 34, the average man is at the height of his physical strength and is most adaptable to the change of conditions from civilian life ; tfie military service of unmarried men and widowers without children would occasion less - distress than that of most others, since they are largely without dependents. Also, it would entail less financial burden for Canada,- through separation allowances, etc. Authorities estimate that, after all proper exemptions have been allowed, Canada should be able to produce from thé first class 100,000 men fit for service, so the drain upon the man power of the country will not be severe. ^ * Members of Class' One v/ill be well advised to present themselves for examination immediately to the Medical Board in their district. Upon examination as to their physical fitness, they will be placed in one of the following categories: ? Category A-^if fit for service in overseas fighting units. Category B--if fit for service overseas in Army Medical Corps, Forestry Battalion, etc. Category C--if fit for service in Canada only. Category E--'•if unfit for military service éf any nature. If not placed in Category A, the applicanLwill-kriow that he is not liable for immediate service, but will go to the Post Qffice and send in a claim for exemption with his Medical-Certificate attached, when he will receive receive in due course a certificate of exemption until those in his medical category are summoned for service. Where a man, who is placed in category A, feels that exemption should be allowed, an application form can be secured froro-the postmaster. This-form, when filled in, will be forwarded by the postmaster to the registrar of the district, and the applicant will be informed by mail as to the time and place for the consideration of his application by the Exemption Board. -- Issued by The Military Service Council. >*
