And 'what kind of a war, pray, Is a "peaceful" one? A war against tobacco will certainly not be such. Major Bishop, the distinguished Canadian airman, has left the front to take up permanent residence in « England. He has destroyed 72 en- emy machines, and it looks as if he had amply earned a rest. Newspapers in the Canadian west "ave sending out an appeal for women to help in the farm homes during the harvest season. Here is an oppor- tunity for the women of the eastern provinces to lend a hand. The press is the great safeguard of democracy. Witness Napoleon's ad- mission that "If I were to give lib- erty to the press, my power could not last three days." Liberty of the press is essential to the life of free na- tions.

This war has shown, beyond all doubt, that there iis mo lack of cour- age among the men on either side We read only the other day how an Austrian general on the [Italian front, when deserted by his officers and men, drew his revolver and fought alone until the inevitable end, rather than purrender to the foe. Mhere have been innumerable instances of bravery and stoicism in the face of impossible odds dn the ranks of the Alles. (Canadians, however, find an exceptional inter- est in the tales of courage recorded of their own soldiers. The stuff ed fin the following extract from an article by (Lieut. Leon Archbald in the current number ~f Good House- keeping, New York. This Canadian officer enlisted at the beginning of the jwar, was wounded at Ypres, fought at Armentiers, Loos ard the Somme, and ds now at home recov- ering from wounds. He writes: "Winter certainly measured out its full quota of hardships for us On account of the impassable con- dition of communication 'trenches, our Journeyings to and from the front lines were reserved for the darkness. our difficulties materially. The wounded, for instance, were almoct Mwvariably forced to remain in a cold, dirty and (water-logged trench until darkness arrived to. obscure their passage out. One day, how- ever, in order to give a badly wounded boy the benefit of his one chance in ten thousand that he had to recover, two of his chums decid- ed to make the attempt to get him out in daylight to a dressing station. "Stretchers could not be used on aceount of the sharp turns and rare rownesg ofthe trench, so the boy was placed on his rubber sheet, the two bearers grasping each of the four corners. The wounded chap's leg had been badly shattered above the knee, 'while his left arm and side had 'been liberally dosed with shrap- nel. He 'was a large fellow, and the going was bad. Every few yards, owing to obstacles or to the fatigue of the bearers, it (wag necessary to put down the improvised stretcher, when the occupant's body from the shouldérs downward wolll sink out pf sight into cold, soupy muck.

Washington, June 27-~<The biggest harvest of taxes ever gathered by the federal government was finished Tuesday night, with the expiration of the time for paying excess profits and income assessments without add- ed penalties for delinquency. Estimates placed the sum collected from these sources at $2,775,000,000 and exact figures probably will be known next Monday or Tuesday. Al- most a half billion came in to-day from corporations and other big tax- payérs who postponed payment as log as possible, Payments not made to-day are sub- ject to penalties of 5 per cent. with 1 per cent. a month interest. Indica- tions were that the aggregate of de- linguent payments on returns actual- ly riled would not be large. Hundreds of small business and professional men and other individ- nals failed to tile returns or to make payments however, and against these an Intensive campaign will be waged, starting in two or three weeks, They will be required to make belated re- ports of incomes and to pay heavy penalties to avoid prosecution as tax dodgers.
