Never shall I forget last Christmas at Whitley Camp, where, through the generosity of the certain societies in 'Toronto, and of certain ladies 1n, the County, we were able to give Xmas Cheer to every man in the. 116th Battalion. We had the whole Bat- talion assembled in a Y.M.C.A. Hut, had a good concert, and then the "Grab Bag" .was around to each man who took, "grab", not one went away empty. 'Randed®: Santa Claus was never quite so real to a hole lot of us. The boys have 'now France some months, the bad weather has set-in, and another wintet is ahead of the Battalion.

J THE PORT PERRY STAR and Advancont to farmers are made y a special feature by this Bank, 238 PORT PERRY BRANCH meme The Hottest Place Much has been said about the part the Canadians have taken in the great war. The-following item by Arthur Guy Empey addressed to Americans, throws much light on the subject: "I am afraid that the American soldier is going to get it rough at first, for the same reason that the British colonials got'it rough at first. We have heard a great deal about the Canadians and their splendid fighting, and I take off my hat to Canada every time. But we have also heard all sorts of German-propaganda talk to the effect that 'the Canadians did all 'the fighting while England sat back,'that the English put the Cana- dians in the hottest part of the line, and that sort of thing. Well, it's true that it was the hottest partof the line; but 1t isn't true that the English put them in it. What is true is that wherever the Canadians were would that was part of a definite German plan To discourage recruiting and to spread the report that England let her colonies do her fighting for her, the Germans specifically concentrated on the colonial lines. It didn't dis- courage recruiting. But I think it is quite likely that the Germans will do thé 'same \iing. with the American forces on the battle-front--they will concentrate against them, to make people at home believe that the Americans are being sent to the worst parts of the line." THE FIGURES In connection with the foregoing, the following figures will be of inter- est:-- English forces are now fighting on many fronts--in Flanders, in Italy, in Salonika, in Mesopotamia. at the Suez; in Palestine, in East Africa, and with the Russians in Galicia. In August of this year, England West Front alone. Of these, 1,670,000 were from the British Isles; 139,000 from Canada; 139,000 from Australia; 12,000 from India; and 6,000 from South Africa. There were 1,000,000 men holding Great Britain, and 1,000,000 to replenish the 20,000 weekly losses. The troops which have been en- gaged in the fighting from July 31 to the present are eomposed as follows--, English 70 per cent; Colonials 16; Scottish 8; Irish 6, The casualties in the same period are distributed as follows--English 76 per cent; Colpn- ials 8; Scottish 10; Irish 6.

If Germany Should Win A high official in England was asked what that country would do in case Germany should win. His reply should be remembered always: "If Germany should win, there won't be anybody here when it happens to know anything about it." Thats the answer in a nutshell -- Germany will not win, because every resource, every ounce of effort will be expended to prevent Germany from winning Italy may suffer a reverse; Russia may prove her own weakness; zeppelins may bomb helpless cities and towns, but-- Germany will not win. Put the proposition yp to yourself straight--How much would you give to preveut Germany from ruling this country; to prevent the loss of your freedom; to protect the honour of your home? Honestly, how much would you give to stop Germany from win- ning? = Well there are three hundred million people in the world who feel like you do, so--Germany will not win, Just now many of us'are willing to sit back and let the other fellow do our fighting, and some of us are wills ing to let the other fellow do our pay- ing, but when we face the grim facts we shall be willing to give everything, for--Germany must not win, We, who stay at home, do not yet understand what others are sacrificing that Germany may not win. The Victory Loan Suppose we drop the patriotic idea about these war bonds. Look at the investment as a straight business pro- position. Where could a man make a better investment than one that will yield five per cent. interest annually on money that is utilized to proteét himself? In this case the insurer is paid a premium for carrying his own self- protecting policy. Telegram Toronto, October 26, 1917 Samuel Farmer, PORT PERRY STAR.
