TYPICALLY GERMAN Brutal execution of 19 Canadian soldiers by the Germans after they had been captured and disarmed is shocking to the civilized world but should not surprise those who have for years read of the Reich's slaughtering of defenceless people of Europe. Germany was guilty of atrocities in the First Great War but the Democracies ouicklv forgot about ' them when the fighting ceased. Only a handful of German officials were brought to court to answer for these violations of international law and then .they were let oil with minimum penalties.

She is Mrs. Dorothy Garbutt, Y.W.C.A. hostess here for the last two years, wno is now leaving ior a similar post, in Winnipeg. The Daily News also will miss the services of Mrs. Garbutt. For many months she has written a daily column on the members of armed services who frequent the Y.W.C.A. Hostess House on Third Avenue, and she has given a day-to-day insight into activities of that popular recreation centre. By her bright disposition and thoughtfulness, Mrs. Garbutt won many friends in the services who regret to see her leave. Have authorities taken any action on the dangerous condition that exists on cliff-side of Rushbrook Heights? Delay might mean the death of a child. THE FINGER POINTS A h.unter is never sure of his game until he has skinned it. Nor should we allow ourselves to be swept away with wishful thinking concerning an early end to the war, in Europe, in the Pacific and the Far East. However, there are several indications that the big struggle is being wound up. A few of them include: Foremost, the repeated successes and advances of the Allied Nations on all fronts; The admission by Prime Minister Churchill that he felt the end of the war would come much sooner Vinn Tin nnpo Vinrl ovnoof ar J- Anthony Eden's remarks .intimating a military collapse was possible by mid-September: Turkey's break with Germany and the strong possibility of the Turks turning on the Reich; Finland's entertainment of a Russian proposal for an honorable armistice; The approving by the War Labor Lord of re troactive wage increases for Canadian railway workers that will swell the buying power in the dominion by millions; Canada's cancellation of compulsory saving legislation that was a source for war material money; Drastic cut-back in submarine construction in the United States; Removal of restrictions on import of luxury goods into Canada from the United States; United States announcement that government boards will begin a program of selling surplus war materials to avert a market glut such as followed the First World War; Adoption now by the dominion government of a bill to stabilize farm produce prices in the post-war period ; Prime Minister King's plans for an early election; , King's announcement of the government's decision to pay the United States $120,000,000 to' reimburse that country for outlay on air routes and other wartime installations in Canada. When the United States entered the war and joined hands with Canada it was said the payment for that country's tributions in this dominion would not come up for ' consideration until victory was won.
