O. L. Hall to. the police committee at the week-end. Forty-one cases came up in court, resulting in 40 convictions. Total of fines collected was $775, bringing the 11-month total this year to. $19,350. In October there were 129 convictions and $1,960 collected in fines. Two of the cases presented last month were summary trials of Indictable offenses, and the remaining 39 were Dominion and provincial statutes, and city bylaws, i The report stated that the police department received 79 complaints, 51 of which were under the criminal code, and 28 under provincial statutes. These .complaints included those of money losses totalling $940, of which $97 was later recovered. One was from a dry dock MEMBER ABC.

It savs: "Prime Minister Mackenzie King's victory in Canada's overseas' conscription crisis adds another significant link to the chain of compromise by which the Dominion has maintained its unity during the war. "Canada's troops on the Continent will get their needed 10,000 reinforcements. Mr. King lias won a 113-70 mandate in the House. But the issue was not precisely joined. A separate motion showed French-speaking Canada's disapproval of the Government conscription of home-army draftees to make up the losses in volunteer overseas divisions. Mr. King obtained his 1 M A vote ot confidence by an appeal to the safer issue of general support of the national war effort. "The fundamental issue between. French and English-speaking Canada has been little reconciled. The prob-'" lem is not, as at times assumed, that-Canada's French - Canadians think of themselves as Frenchmen. It is, rather, that they have not yet come to think of themselves internationally as Canadians. "The situation was aptly illustrated by a public opinion study made during the middle of the present war. Canadians were asked, "Do you think of PAGE TWO -- - worker who reported that he had been attacked by two men who appeared out of the bush on Fifth Ave. E. at' 11 p.m., slruek him down, and robbed him of $50.

These included a broad variety of activity. The re.por,t stated that an "unsatisfactory" condition exists concerning unemployed and casually employed girls and women in the city. It added that "some agency should maintain a preventative and protective service in this field," but agreed that this was not a direct city responsibility. Co-operation between city police and Canadian and American military police resulted in the conviction of a Canadian serviceman for keeping liquor for sale on the street, the report stated. Cost of maintaining the city Jail was $410, of which $77 was charged against other departments, leaving a net cost to the city of $339. Buy for Victory- Buy War Savings Stamps.

The majority of the English-speaking Canadians answered "yes." A majority of French-speaking Canadians answered "no." For French-Canadians generally have not perceived the implications of the progress which the Dominion has made toward genuine independence within the British Commonwealth. "After the war, that independence' from London will undoubtedly increase without endangering the final bonds which link the Empire. Then it will be the task of Canadian states-' manship to address itself to the deen- er integration of the two racial groups which comprise the Dominion." What Decides Wars . In military language the objective of all operations is destruction of the enemy's will, to resist.. We need to be reminded of this as much when our forces are making spectacular advances as during a period of heavy fighting. War is not just an immense football game, with progress toward the goal measured in yardage. In war, territory is important only insofar as it bears on the weakening and ultimate destruction of the enemy's armed power. This is not said to gloss over the- fact that just now the Allies on several fronts are fighting grim .and costly .battles. It is said to help draw attention away from the miles to Tokyo and to Berlin, and to focus it on the real factors in military success'. Recent encouraging advances of the Allied armies on the western front may be correctly weighed not in the miles of ground gained, but in the resources denied to the Germans and in the units of the enemy's army put out of action in the process..
