At first it seemed as if the officers and men on both the Prince of Wales and the Repulse might have been lost. Now many have been reported as survivors, making the loss much less than it seemed at first. Jt was a great loss having, two capital ships sunk, but nothing-like the loss it would have been if all the 'officers and men had been lost. Japan's Loss . . . Japan has lost one of her hie hnttleshins ns wr.11 jis other naval craft. The battleship Haruna was sunk by United States airplane activity, evidently in a manner similar to that which proved fatal to the two British ships and American ships at Hawaii. That offsets about half of the Allies' losses, We must expect to lose ships sometimes and we expect the enemy to lose. Until we get farther- along in the conflict we cannot say whether the war is going against us or not. At any rate yesterday's page was not anything like as black as it seemed the previous morning, What Is Germany Up To? . , . . The slackening of the pace in connection with the invasion of Russia makes us all suspicious as to what is to be the next move. Is England to be invaded by Germany and Italy with the possible consent of France or are troops to be diverted to North Africa? We know from reasoning based on experience that if the pressure is slackened on one front it may be looked for at some other. We may be sure that, if the Germans are withdrawing from some front, it is in order to make a v..

MOSCOW, Dec. 12: If a Rus sian soldier is a brave man, his heroism is likely to be heralded throughout the length and, breadth of tlus great land. If he is a coward he's shame is likely to be made known to 170,000,000 fellow Russians in scalding word.? of contempt. Instances of desertion, coward-Ice, sabotage and treachery among the fighting men are given publicity in the press as a warning to others to follow the line of duty. Here is an anecdote taken from a .Moscow newspaper thai illustrates their candor: "During the fighting on the northwestern front the Traitor Piroshkov inflicted a wound in his hand. He went to a first aid station, hoping to be sent on to a hospital at the rear. The doctor who treated the wound ouicklv detected the truth. Tho traitor n The Was giVen a military trial in front oi ms comrades in the forest near the fighting lines. Political Instructor Milakov deli"ered a speech. He said: " "This man was raised on our Soviet bread. He spat on his fatherland and the Soviet ptople. He was thinking onlv ahnnr. hi own hide. Piroshkov sold out his fatherland, his comrades and hi3 family. He brought shama to our ranks, to his children, to his parents.' "The grim silence along the lines of soldiers bespoke flaming hatred against this scoundrel. Every man instinctively pressed the breach of ms rie. out only one now stepped forward. A volley sounded and the traitor received hla due." Second, only to a traitor, accord-ins to Soviet propaganda, Is a soldier who, wounded or not, abandons his equipment on the field of battle and sq lets It fall Into the hands of the enemy. This Js the lesson drilled unceasingly into Soviet fighters, for the situation has .J......4..:..:..j...!.Aj J.H. BULGER Optometrist M.4.,.,,t.j.i.Ai.j.i..i.AAx...., i . , .
