The happy men these days are the men in khaki. “'hst can we do to help Win the war? This is the question that thousands of Uanadain men and women have been asking themselves. The answer is supplied by the National Service Ommission with its invita- tion to the men of Canada to enrol themselves by voluntary registration. The cards that are sent out to every man between the ages of sixteen and sixty-five will furnish the information that the Commission needs in order to turn to account in the best way efll the resources of the country.

CANNON THUNDERED IN THE NEW YEAR With the British armies in France.

There may be varyin views and theories as to how the on is to be brought about but there is no question that throughout the British army there is a conviction that the next twelve months will bring a victorious peace to the allies LL - D_:L:-L “all The one bEfie.\rfieswtl_1vzâ€"3.£Germany will be willing to grant, extreme conces- sions and the other the}; only military U110 Ivuu vuv v-_-_ pressure will bring them 'the fruits of victory. Both schools however have agreed that this is the decisive year. On most sectors of the British front the new year made it’s bow with little ceremony. So many flares and rockets are sent up from the trenches on these long dark winter nights that it was impossible to say how many of these to-night were in honor of 1917. There is one sector however where the British artillery followed the practise adopted last iyear of welcoming January 1. with salvo against their enemy from guns of all calibres.

Jones Praised and Dr. Bruce: Blamed by Board 2 Sir George Perley gave out on Mon- day the oflicial report. of the Board 5 of Inquiry into the Medical Service. . The board, with a few minor excep- ; tions, disagrees with Dr. Bruce’s i criticisms, particularly regarding the concentration of Canadian sick and wounded in Canadian hOSpitals, which it is declared, would be unwise and impracticable. It disagrees also with the statement that V. A. D. hospitals, should be discontinued, as it finds- them efficient and satisfactory. It recommends more inspection of Can- adian hospitals and believes, with- General Carleton-Jones, that the. medical forces and resources of the: Ernpire must be pooled to the utmost: in this struggle. It agrees that a large number of soldiers come from Canada unfit for service, but points out that Dr. Bruce ignores the good work done-by General Jones and his staff, under circumstances of great novelty and difficulty. ~ CAN ADIAN S HONORED BIG NEWS IN BRIEF ONOOQQQQQOQ 9 909 9999‘ Sold by Ontario DU BEAU CHRONICLE. .
