Throw back your minds to your school books and You will recall that Sisy- phus, unhappy wight, had to keep on continuously rolling a stone uphill. Although this job kept Sisyphus so busy that he had no need to go in for 'physical jerks' (fifteen minutes a day immediately after the morning tub; see handbook) in erder to keep up his muscle, it did not apparently do anybody else the least bit of good. "Therein it differed vastly from mine-sweeping, which must be sche duled among the most useful opera- tions of the war, Where a reseémbl- ance does come in is in the fact that an area once swept will not stay swept. After the ships have gone over it they must turn back and start again, and so ad infinitum. "fhe procedure is something like this: One mine-sweeper in the course of combing over a particulap stretch of sea come across a mine field. With great care they destroy this, rooting up and smashing every 'bulb' that has been planted in it As soon as they have done so out creeps the wily Hun in a submarine and lays a fresh lot of mines. Sometimes the new field is put down so soon after the previous ope has been removed that it seems as if the Hun must have been going along in the wake of our 'sweepers' when he laid it. "In most cases mine-sweeping falls to the lot 'of trawlers manned by fishermen or other R.N.R. ratings. Nobody else could do the work quite | #8 well as the men who are inured by long experience to the vagaries of the | trawler, which in bad weather dis- | plays the vices of every other type of ship and the virtues of none, At | one minute she imitates a submarine | just starting to dive, the mext she tumbles clumsily over the crest of a wave and brings up in the trough with a thump that makes all her bones rattle. "At another time she will stand awhile on her heel and after making a curious swinging motion with her bows burrow headlong into an on- coming roller. With wind and sea |abeam, her decks are mo place for a timid man nor for the queasy stom- ached, either. Even experienced sail- ore accustomed to big ships alone go down like very landsmen. "Fhe trawlers carry on their rough and dangerous task in pairs. Between them stretches a long wire hawser, and with this they sweep minutely the area assigned to them. No matter how wildly their craft may | be beating about, how cold the wea- ther or how stormy the sea, all , hands except the engine-room people "mult be on deck while the wires are out and at their posts ready for whatever may happen. And plenty does happen. Mines caught in the sweep have to be destroyed as the surest way of rendering them harm- less ng its "Much else may have to be done, too. Above all, eyes must be kept lifting for periscopes, as there is a chance that at any moment a sub- marine may start shooting 'tin fish' at the vessel. Or they may perchance Rump on a mine.

The immediate course of the labor movement in Engldnd will be greatly influenced by the Fablans, or intel- lectual socialists, who have bad & subtle and pervasive influefice upon the party. Bernard Shaw, George Lansbury, Philip Snowden, Mr. and Mrs. Sydney Webb, and a number of other brilliant minds will go far to- ward directing the thought of laber leaders, even though unable to con- vince the country at large. The great outstanding fact in the British labor movement, however, and the one that should come as a special message to the labor leaders of this country, is the attempt to draw the line, not between wage- earners and other earners, but be- tween all earners, whether of brain or of hand, and thé spenders. To the extent that all producers of wealth can be made to see that their inter- ests are opposed to those of non-pro- ducers, the way will be prepared for a final settlement of the social and industrial problem.-- The Public, GENERAL CURRIE SPEAKS, Says Passchendaele Was Canadians' Hardest Job. Lieut.-General Sir Arthur Currie gave an interesting story to the Paris representative of The Mont- real Star In a special interview at the opening of the new year. General Currie sald that the corps had had an exceedingly busy year, and' since their formation had never been out of the line. The men had had a long series of successes, and that was the biggest factor in keeping up their morale. The situation at Passchen- daele was such a critical ope that the Commander-in-Chief had to make absolutely sure that it would be taken. Two attempts had already failed, and it had been pronounced impregnable; but tha taking of the ridge 'was absolutely essential to en« sure the success of future opera- tions. It was a great tribute to the Can- adians that the Commander-in-Chief had confidence that Canada would be successful in accomplishing this task. They were sent there to do the definite job, and they did it with the knowledge that they would not be left to spend the winter in the Fland- ers mud. It was by far the hardest job the Canadians had 'ever tackled. It came on the tail of a battle which meant lack of communications and | great, in fact almost insurmountable, difficulties in getting up guns and] ammunition. The gunners worked night and day. All the ammunition was carried up on pack mules, and; trails had to be made for these, mules, otherwise they would have sunk up to their heads in mud. The trails were made of brush wood and plank boarding, all the work of lay- ing these down was carried on under direct observation from the enemy and constant _shell-fire. Four miles of double-planking and four miles of light railway were constructed with a total disregard of the danger and the number of casualties which were Yecognized as the necessary sacrifice! still greater ones. "We paid a price," said General Currie, "but it had to be done. We! have bad a wonderful year--Vimy, | Avion, Fresnoy, Lens, Hill 70, The | last the most successful fighting we ever. did from the point of view of the German easualty list as compar- ed to ours, which was only a third | of the enemy's. Now the men are! resting 'and enjoying to the full their | comfortable billets, and all the ar-, rangements made for thelr amuse- ment, full of good humor and satis- faction and courage." Proud of It. A leading politician, apropos of the Luxburg, Bernstorff, von Igel and other German exposures, said, the other day: | 'Germany seems to approve the unexampled wickedness of her sons. | She reminds me of the old man at the club, "Ap old man sat reading a news- paper in a club while a group of | young fellows talked excitedly about the marvelous power for lying pos- sessed by a certain Jack Courtenay. When their talk ceased the old man cleared his throat and said: * 'Gentlemen, I have just heard you decide that Jack Courtenay is the biggest liar in Canada. I am his father.' , ."A'young man, very red in the face, started to apologize, but the old boy sai " No, 'no; don't apologize. It isn't necessary. I merely wanted to say. gentlemen, that if you consider my son Jack the biggest liar in Canada, it's very evident that you hive never met Wy other son. Yim" German Out-pigs the Pig.
