Western Front . . . Tlift new offensive on the Western Front comes at the best possible time and is a perfect example of the coordination of Allied strategy. Incidentally, it illustrates once again the failure of von Iiundstedt's offensive to throw the British and American offensive plans seriously out of gear. At this early stage it is clearly impossible to make anything but a cautious estimate of the implications of this new offensive, and phrase like "striking into the heart of Geiv many," etc., are being avoided. Must Eliminate Nazi Sadists . . . When stories of Nazi atrocities are printed there-are always a few persons who brand them propaganda tales whipped up by imaginative authors wno are seeking personal glory, gruesome fantasies inspired by information bureaus of Allied nations to inspire a desire to wipe out the Germans, says the Moncton Transcript. A recent public opinion poll states that 71 percent of the people in Canada do believe that the mass murders and tortures actually did occur; the remaining 2X percent were undecided, believed in part or refused to believe them. To those 28 percent, a statement by the United States War Refugees Hoard, may bo of interest. The War Refugees Board believes the stories of German frightfulness and says "It is a fact beyond denial that the Germans have deliberately and systematically murdered millions of innocent civilians .lews ami Christians. alike all over Europe. So revolting ami diabolical are the German atrocities that the minds of civilized people find it difficult to believe that they have actually taken place." Alt till If 11 IWJj Jtl 1 Wltlllll. v un Will; JL tliu most brutal of , the Nazi prison camps where the murders, at least, had a purpose. It was to secure the clothing of the prisoners, much as a fox is killed for its pelt. Lidico, where a whole village was destroyed in retaliation for the death of a Hitler officer. France, Norway and other countries that had come under the domination of Nazi gaulieters fllriiad reason to believe the horror stories. Vught, in one of the liberated provinces of Holland, was .the scene of another of these murder camps where if not the most cruel, possibly the most gruesome of stories has come. Hero it is reported authoritatively that even the dead had to appear at morning parade if any one died during the night, two co-prisoners carried the corpse to the parade ground the following morning, held it upright, and when the dead person's name was called, replied with the prescribed formula, "present, but died meanwhile." It is related that one extremely ill woman was thus carried to the parade ground. The prisoners who supported her thought her dead, and gave the usual reply.' The camp functionary began to carry the corpses in a wheelbarrow to a shed where they were dumped to be cremated later. He discovered that the woman was still alive so she was dragged to a shed and laid down upon a table in an icy room until she died. It was at this camp, too, that prisoners were released from their cell to have a burning cigarette extinguished on their , cheeks. Guards too,- were reported to have amused themselves by taking the caps from the heads of Jews and throwing them over the barbed wire, then ordering the .lews to retrieve them. When they did so they were shot because they "tried to escape." If only half the stories that are told are true, and there is much factua1 evidence that they are, then it is still so serious a matter that the civilized world will heighten to resolve that there be no soft peace for Germans. It must be a peace that will re-educito Hitlers', sadists and isolate an entire generation from the rest of the world. Paying for Policing . . . The Vancouver chief of police has stated in his annual report that crime has been increasing in Vancouver for one reason because the police force is not of sufficient strength. A similar situation, as we have suggested before, seems to exist in Prince Rupert. With crimes of violence and burglaries going unsolved, there has been a tendency on the part of some to quite unfairly and unduly criticize the police force and search no further for the trouble. The people are clamoring for more effective policing. To provide that more effective policing appears to boil down to the necessity of the city spending more money on policing so that the personnel of the force may be increased including the possible addition of specialists such as trained criminal investigators. If we judge the local public opinion rightly the taxpayers of Prince Rupert would not object to paying additional costs involved in improving the police service. After all the protection and security of the people and their property is q greater consideration than quibbling over the relatively small cost that would be involved in an effort to provide more adequately along these lines. . It is something about which the civic authorities should not continue to be indifferent and inactive. LOCAL CURLERS MAKE CLEAN-UP OF TROPHIES AT SMITHERS 'SPIEL Took About All Trophies In Smithers Events Playing in the finals of the Smithers Curling bonsplel at Smithers on Monday evening, the Prince Rupert rinks Just about cleaned up all the trophies and prizes in the competition. The local rinks returned home Wednesday night. The Imperial Oil Cup was won by the rink skipped by Mel Strickland. Other members of the rink being Pat Carr, M. Harper and H. Wanamaker. This rink defeated the Smithers rink skipped by Cliff Delage by a score of 16 to 5. Other members of the Delage rink were Sgt.' Potterton, Dan Jones and Tom Jones. The Bulkley Valley Collieries Shield was won by the Prince Rupert rink skipped by Ward Carey. This rink defeating the Smithers rink skipped by Percy Davidson with a score of 10 to 8. Members of the winning rink were Ward Carey, Bill War-dale, Alf Chappell and- Phil Dawm, while the Smithers rink was composed of Percy Davidson, acne Holliston, Wm. Hanson and E. Erlckson. In the Consolation competition Billy Little of Woodcock satisfied an ambition of some 15 years standing when he defeated the rink skipped by Jack McEwen of Prince Rupert. Year after year these rinks have met In some final, of the Smithers bonsplel but McEwen always bested the Little rink. This year Little will take home a sack of flour tfiat he won as a. prize. First and second "prizes "were awarded to the finalists in each competition along with the trophies. A large number of people filled the rink to watch the finals and they were treated to an excellent exhibition of the fine art of the game on many occasions. Mr. Strickland In particular made some very fine shots and carried an air of extreme confidence throughout all the games. The Ice was very heavy, owing to the mildness of the weather, and in only the first few games and the last games was it pass- ! able. After the competitions had been completed on Monday ; night the visitors were eiitir-itaincd at a dance In the Aiig-1 lican hall where the prizes were presented and speeches made by I the various winners. Len Evans, i. I president of the Smithers Curl-'tng Club, was master of ceie-: monies and made the presenta-i Hons. ; Many of the speakers express-jed the hope that It woiiH not ibe long before Prince Rupert would have a Curling Club of Its own when Inter-clty bonspiels with Smithers and other Interior points would be an annual occasion.. The ladles of the SmHhers Ladles' Curling Club a jistcd materially In the success of the event of having sandwiches and coffee on sale at the Club all through the games, a-nd by arranging and I I looking after the dance that fol-i love d. The Smithers Club was ln-'debted to Jack McEwen for promoting the interest of curling In Rupert and for making all the arrangements (or bringing three rinks to Smithers for the bonsplel. It Is hoped at Smlth-.ers that the success of these 'rinks on this occasion will be the means of encouraging them to return every year. 9 Men intending to travel to points outside Canada Plvusv.
