FE3. IS, JMt Singapore . . . There was no hope those last few days for the most optimistic that Singapore would stand bat, now it ha? fallen, we all feel sad. The impregnability of Singapore had been part of our education. Now it is gone, marking one of our greatest losses in this war, and. this one of our darkest days. Even the men who defended it are, apparently, gone with it many of them not dead, to be sure, but captives of the Japanese which we are led to believe is no happy lot. But undue mourning about Singapore, sad though its fate may be, k not going to help us much. It has been a hard blow, expected though it might have been, but it may imbue us with more courage, more determination, more realism for the task of winning a war which eaaaot posabh be wn by burying the facts and the imputations in the sand of complacency or imaginary security. This Hack week-end marked the inauguration of our Victory Loan campaign wherein we are asked to loan everything we can possibly spare to the government to help it meet the costs of war which mount with every new reverse. To respond in the fullest possible measure, even if it involves changes and sacrifices in our way of Hving, is little enough for us to do. No doubt, before the Sniggle f ver, we will have had to do much more. Easy to Run Away ... It is comparatively easy to run away like the German ships did from Brest. They had the advantage of a snowstorm in which to get a start. We are aware that it ionh'ireipk.s t&at eojjjnt. and , this is one case where theiGermans attained their'' e3af the expense of the British. Somebody is to blame. It is another loss of prestige for the British and, doubtless, we all felt rather badly when we heard of it. Vancouver Regrets ... The ancouver morning paper regrets the defeat of Mr. Meigben in the by-election in Ontario this weeL Here is the editorial paragraph; "The -defeat of Mr. Meighen is a surprise and it is to be regretted. He has many faults and has made manr mistakes m the past but, with it all, he is a great Canadian and, as the recently-selected leader of the Conservative party, his presence in parliament would have been a good thing. It is hard to understand why he was defeated. At this distance it appears that the electors refused to overlook his past and were apprehensive that his present bitter attitude would not be helpful to the war cause. Then, too, a man must suffer for the company he keeps. Mr. Meighen was afflicted with the s in-port of Mitch Hepburn and Col. Drew. Prime Minister Kmg might weM consider restoring Mr. Meighen to H seat m the senate. Within its cloistered walls he could still be of service to his country." The Garden ... It is difficult to talk about anything so soothing and unexciting as gardening when the echo of the guns and bombs is resounding not far way. Yet it is good for us to turn our attention to other subjects at times. It is a great rest to talk gardening instead of shooting. Eveiything is growing just now but it may be too early. There have been seasons when our worst frosts have beenJn March and even April has been very destructive However, this is rather exceptional. Just now It. L. Mcintosh has snowdrops in bloom in his well protected places m Fourth Avenue. Crocuses are showing up here arid there all over town. It is early to do more than tidy up the place and digging is particularly dangerous until all the bulbs have shown themselves above ground. It is a good time to do the planning. Roses might well be ordered now' or by the end of the month. Xsewcomers to Prince Rupert may not be aware that roses do very well here. although in..a severe winter they sometimes get frost-killed, especially where the garden is not well drained. "fc : A.
