SE OBSERVER-STAR, DRYDEN, ONTARIQ, = i at S TR idm Canadians edd joyously oid en- iastically celebrated the signing he Peace treaty. Canada's un- edented army of some hundreds housands of men is all but com- letely demobilized, and the vast ma- ity of the soldiers are again at k in civilian occupations. One by 'all' the war time orders-in-coun- regulations and prohibitions are away, and the Dominion * is® ain rapidly being placed on a Peace , The acuteness of the sorrows d by the war is being assuaged that greatest of all healers, tims even hatred which are droused "war are fading. . The titanic struggle is Aradilty a natter 'of history, but while memory asts people will remember the hore rors and stress of the past five ter- rible years, and all future generations ill be more or less affected by the 2 experience through which mankind was called upon to pass. But while remembering these things, it is well "that as a people we should keep even more vividly in our memories the re- collection of the heights of loyal de- votion to country to which people at- tained, the self-sacrifices they so free- ly and gladly made, the patriotic ser- vices they so splendidly rendered. During the war the people ot Canada rose to undreamed of heights of greatness and achieved a national splendor of which any people might ell be proud. In a word, Ganada ound its soul--something which in the more materialistic days of old this country seemed to lack. In the past five trying years Can- dians achieved confidence in them- elves; they learned to do by doing. They discovered latent native ability and organizing capacity to do big hings and do them well. In the stress 'and tumult of war they learn- ed many lessons, not least of which 'wyas the discovery that for well- 'nigh fifty years the Canadian people had sied 'themselves; and quarrelled, d divided, over many petty matters 'and ideas and animosities of a long 'dead past. Canadians called their Dominion 'a nation, but it was not, ad never could be while its people acked national vision, a national out- Took and truly national aspirations. The country was without a real in- 'spiration. The war has supplied what Canada formerly lacked, and, lacking t, was weak and almost impotent in the world. iat Are the Canadian pints, who proved themselves so big and n.aster- ful in war, going to remain so in peace? Is this Dominion which has risen to a proud place among the na- tions going to retain that place, and, the military. language of the day, consolidate its position? Or are we going to slip back into the old nar- row-mindedness which was « 'greatest 'handicap in the past? During the war Canadians were patriots. "Every man and woman was service. though it might be fully justified. The chronic fault-finder found him: idedly unpopular.

Canadian patriotism stood the test. of war, but the real test of the pat- fiotism of -the people - of this Do- minion will come in the years of peace upon which we have now en- tered. It will beia sterner test, lack- ing, as it will, the incentive of a great struggle to win, a glorious victory to achieve. It will call for infinite pa- tience and hard work. _ Yet, after all, the prize to be. won is something finer, better, more lasting than . the prize of victorious: war. : . The winning of the war, to which the: people sof Canada were willing to uous, guaranteed to us and our chil dren their independence and liberties and the blessings of Christian civil- But thé possession of these price- us unless we use them as we ought. Rather © will their possession prove our own condemnation if we do not worthily employ them to make Can- ada truly great and a benefactor am- ong the nations. We enjoy inde- weal or for woe, to create and firmly establish a 'nation renowned for re- form and advancement, for the elim- ination of social ills, for the splendor 'of its education; we enjoy the widest liberty to do good, not license to do evil. With the towing of this new era of peace, Canadians should practice self- control and continued self-denial. They should find the same gratifica- tion in rendefing service to the. 'nation now as in. the days of war. They should be patient and earnest iff in stituting reforms, but impatient with all wrongs. In a word, Canada needs, and needs badly, the war spirit of the country and its people carried into all the activities of the years of peace. : Sea Minard's Liniment Garget Cures in Cows. Marshal Foch and the Canadians A writer in the 'Canadian Military Gazette declares he has the follow- ing story from a gentleman in whose word he has absolute confidence: Shortly after the armistice a private luncheon was given by a lady in Paris to a number of her friends, of whom Marshal Foch was one. In the. course of conversation the lady said: "Marshal, will you tell us who were your best. spldiers?" = He replied, "Madam, that is a hard question. To begin with, I must not speak of my own poilus. But you have asked, and I shall answer--Mes "enfants cheris sont les Canadiens" (my dear child- ren are the Canadians). The point to note is that Foch was not speak- gathering and amongst his |fellow- countrymen only.

Official Note Issued f t f 1 Authorizing Resumption of Commer- cial Relations Between France ~ and Germany Paris, France.--The French official note authorizing 'the resumption of commercial relations between France and Germany was issued here, to be effective at once. The note prescribes regulations and provides for the is- suance of permits on certain classes of merchandise. : The regulations require that "per- mits be obtained for the exportation [to Germany of any merchandise on the prohibited list No merchandise originating in or coming from Ger- many may be imported into France without a special permit from the Minister of Finance and the minister of that department of the government particularly interested in the product. The German delegation at Ver- sailles was informed in a letter from fhe peace conference that the ratifi- cation of the treaty by Germany had been accepted and that the raising of the blockade was about to take place. The Inter-allied Supreme Council met to discuss the blockade question. So far as the action of the council concerns France, the measure will be effective only after. publication in the Journal Officiel of a decree annulling 'the preceding decrees regarding the blockade. - Don't Hawk, Blow, Sneeze, or Cough Use "Catarrhozone" ~ When germs attack the lining of the nose, make you sneeze and gag-- when later on' they infest the bron- chial tubes--how can you, follow them with a cough syrup?
