LOOKING BACK Very few men in our midst have made such a close study of the present war as the Rev. H. R. Grant, evening he made an observa- and on Sunday tion whieh is worthy of com- He used it to make a point in his able discourse to the Oddfellows, but it is of great historic importance. It was to the effect that had the taken the straight- forward course and attacked France directly through Ver- dun, instead of taking the roundabout way through Bel- gium, there would -have been a vastly different story to tell. A glance at a map shows that the shortest way to Paris was via Verdun. In order to evade tackling this fortress, the Germans criminally cast aside their treaty with Belgium and the other mations, and tried to rush through to France via Liege and Namur, Ii is a mat- ter of history how those forts, manned by the brave sons of Belgium, stayed their progress, but it is also almost a certainty that, in August, 1914, Verdun would have put up very little more resistance, if any, than Liege did, for today, it is not the old fortress which is hold- ing the Germans at bay, but the methods of trench defence which have been devised since the battle of the Marne. It seems tolerably certain, therefore, that had the Ger- mans attacked Verdun first, they would have made their way to Paris and there would have been battle of the Marne. Had taken the honest course, Great Brit- ain would not have had excuse to step in when she did, and France have been overrun by Germans ment, yermans no Germany her probably would tion. it is interesting to note how for international doing. NOTES AND COMMENTS Latest reports from the Verdun front do not point to a very cheer- ful celebration of Crown Prince Willie’s birthday on Saturday. s = s The April bagged, on an average, one French aviators. during German aeroplane pep day, with one over, while the French lost only six during the month.

SPLENDID SHOW AT WESTHOLME THEATRE Elsie Janis, in ‘“‘Twas” Ever Thus,” scored a most decided hit at the Westholme last night, This sprightly little aetress displays wonderful versatility in the role of a maiden of the stone age; a daughter of the period of crino- lines, and as an up-to-date, clear- eyed young lady of the present. It was perhaps in the latter role that she was most successful, her acting of the kitchen maid being particularly clever and_ highly amusing. There was also a two- act drama of frontier days and an Eclair Gazette. Tonight, the second episode of “Graft” will be shown, and there should be another full house. This week's installment deals with the “Tenement Graft’ and is full of interest and clever acting. SUN AND TIDE Thursday, May 4, ae Sun rises........ +. .4:58 a. m. PUN SOB iis seek he ieee p. m.

He is loud in his praises of the work which has been and is | still being done by the French soldiers. The Canadian and Brit- ish troops recently drafted to the front have taken over the trenches of the French in order to allow seasoned French troops to be transferred to the Verdun front. He is strongly of the opinion that the war. will not last another winter. One of the most striking scenes he has encountered is the French and Belgian farmer plowing and sowing up to within a mile of the firing line, The other day he saw a farmer sowing wheat while more Bob returning shells were bursting not than a hundred yards away. is looking to Prince Rupert when his pres- forward to ent job is over.
