South Africans have realised the need for sacrifice and the spirit with which our troops are imbuedv is best described in the words which General Smuts used in a re- cent reply to a cable from Lord Caldicote: “Whatever difficulties and trials lie ahead and! however long the road may be,” said General Smuts “we hope to follow it to the end in com- pany with our Commonwealth friends and other Allies." Many units of the Union Defence Force are now on active service while thousands of young men are ,being intensively trained in the use of modern weapons of war. Like most armies of toâ€"day, the Union Forces are mainly mechanized but the value of troops on horseback in rough, hilly African country, has not been entirely overlooked, and) comâ€" mando units» have been raised in all parts of the Union. Thousands of men have enrolled for iulltime service “anywhere in Africa” and recruiting records have been broken in almost every big city In common with their menfolk, South African women have respond- ed magnificently to the call to Arms. Ever since the outbreak of hostilities they have insistently deâ€" manded that they should be allowed to play an active part in the coun- try’s war effort, and for the first time in our history, detachments of women volunteers have been mobil- ised. A large number have been called up for fulltime service and will be engaged in clerical and cer- tain types of technical work. The provisions of the military discipline code apply to the members of the Womens’ Auxiliary Air Force and- the Womens’ Auxiliary Army Ser- vice, whether they serve inside or outside the frontiers of South Af- The organisation of industries on a wartime basis is also materially assisting the Union in its military preparations. Industrialists are keen to‘do as much as they can to help the country’s war effort, and manu- facturers have publicly declared that they are prepared.- to hand over their factories to the State for the duration of the War. Munitions fac- tories are also being established in various parts of the country and production is going ahead rapidly. South Africa's war effort is be- ing pushed ahead» rapidly. Since the invasion of the Low Countries, South Africans have been flocking to the colours, and racial prejudices and difierences have been largely for- gotten in the struggle for the com- mon cause of humanity. The South African Air Force is already playing its part in the war against Italy and has driven home a number of daring attacks on military cl‘bjectives it; Abyssinia. ‘South Africans have a natural aptitude for flying and the dar- ing young pilots of the present gen~ eration will, without doubt, prove worthy successors to the intrepici airmen who built up such a wonder- ful reputation for their country in the last war. ricra But women are also serving in many other ways and one of their main functions is to take over civil- ian occupations in order to release as many men as possible for active service. They are, for instance, be- ing trained to be ticket collectors on trams and buses, to replace men at key-telephone exchanges, to be signallers, wireless engineers, post- men and telegraph messengers, and to take over all branches of traffic control. fI'he vast snowball of South Af- rica’s war effort is rapidly gaining impetus, and from the dorps, the backveld and the cities, men and wo- men are uniting their endeavours to make the South African military machine one of the best and' most deterniined in the Empire. The training and equipping of the Mobile Field Force has been in pre- paration for several months and when the mettle of this Force is tested, it will uphold the traditions which were established at Delville Wood‘, Vimy Ridge. Arras and the Menin Road, to mention only a few places where South Africans are famous for their gallant stands :- gainst the enemy in the Great W'ar. This time, of course, South Afâ€" rica’s main front will be in Africa, and Within a few months, perhaps weeks, South African forces may be engaging the enemy in the North. These men know the country, they know the African veld, the hills a‘nd the valleys. The fathers and the grandfathers of many of them now fighting side by side for South Af- rica in the Allied cause to-day, made history for both the British and the Boers on this same African veld some 40 years ago. Now they stand united against the common enemy, ready to fight to the end to VIC- TORY! Taggart.

PUBLICITY HOUND Although Mussolini has not devel- oped anything quite like the Nazi “Heil Hitler!” it must not be as- sumed that he has not ways of keep- ing his name before his own public. He has, to the detriment of the Ital- ian countryside. Wherever there is a hillside he has had cut out, in similar manner to our white horses and regimental badges on Salisbury Plain, the letters 11 Duce or Dux, so largely that they can be seen for miles. Nor is that all. He is so proud of his speeches that another publicity device is to have the snap- pier excerpts painted on any blank wall that may be handy, and his ad- vertising experts are so efficient that it is a small village that does not boast at least three of these signed sayingsâ€"(From the Man- chester Guardian.) FARM LABOR SHORTAGE One of the pressing problems at the present time is a shortage of farm labor throughout Ontario. Ac- cording to an official of the Ontario Department of Agriculture, many hired men have enlisted in the army, leaving their employers without ade- quate manpower at a very inoppor- tune time. Farmers’ sons have also deserted the farm fer the army. The department is endeavoring to meet the situation by rushing school boys, registered with the department as available for farm work, to the 10- calities most in need of help All along it has been contended that it takes longer to train a man for farm work than for soldiering, so that the seriousness of the situation facing-the farmer should not be minimizedâ€"(From the Simcoe Re- former.)

Word reaches us from Amsterdam via Paris of the summary execution by Nazis of most of the editorial staff of De Greone Amsterdammer. This weekly. for many years a skill- ful and satirical opponent of the Nazis in a country where fifth col- umn activities were rampant, was one of the first objects of Nazi wrath when the Reichswehr entered the city in May. It bespeaks a great deal for the courage of the staff of this journal that the invaders recog- nized its power and were quickly to descend on its plant once the path was cleared of snipers; but that honor is cold comfort for those edi- tors who, remaining at their desks though much of the city was aflame, were shot on the familiar Nazi pre- text of “resisting arrest.”â€"(From the Living Age.) Calgary Herald: While Parliament is engaged in collecting rifles and shotguns it should also make a fur- ther attempt to round up lethal wea- pons of all kinds. Much stiffer pen- alties in the courts for those found in illegal possession of arms might serve as a deterrent.
