' The German line of advance from the northeast lies between the Mi- awa, the Warsaw Railway line and the River Pissa, and from the south from the Galician line. On paper the German scheme is that these two fronts shall move to meet one anoth- His remains inter- B.A,, Classical Picton 1 er, and that everything between them i must be ground to powder.

The echoes of the great Notre Dame church were on the other hand awak- ened with accents most vibrant in both French and English, loved idi- oms of two races made surely to live side by side in harmony and mutual regpect The public powers, the | | press, the men of rectitude and judg ment can do much to prevent or re {move any cause of friction that | might prave prejudicial to the ad- | vancement of our common country.

Since the war started the prin- cipal concern of Canadian manufac- turers was not whether they .-could make war munitions, but whether they could get the orders. Many, after trying in vain to secure orders, gave up in disgust.
