Warsaw
Now,

Next
.
.
.
We
must
herald
the
capture
of
Warsaw,
the
capital
of
Poland,
as
one
of
the
major
victories
and
epochal,
events
of
this
war.
More
than
five
years
ago
when
we
tremblingly
contemplated
the
outbreak
of
the
conflict
we
canvassed
rf
the
possibility
of
Russian
and
German
forces
colliding
in
mid-Poland
and
thus
relieving
the
pressure
of
the
Nazi
war
machine
against
France
and
Britain.
Now,
at
long
last
and
after
many
events
and
developments,
that
thing
has
happened.
Npt
the
least
amazing
of
all
the
great
surprises
that
this
war
has
brought
to
lis
is
the
mighty
fighting
Strength
and
organization
of
the
Soviets
being
currently
demonstrated
in
the
greatest
measure
yet
in
the
nevV
winter
offensive.
Well
may
the
bells
of
Moscow
peal
and
the
guns
of
the
Kremlin
fire
their
triumphant
salvos"
as
Joseph
Stalin
issues
another
victorious
onler
of
the
day.
Russia
is
on
the
march
again
with
a
degree
of
speed
and
power
that
makes
us
wonder
how
long
it
may
be
before
the
Red
Flag
flies
over
Berlin.
The
capital
of
the
Reich
is
not
so
far
away
now
when
one
considers
how
rapidly
and
how
mercilessly
the
Red
juggernaught
moves
when
it
gets
fully
under
way
as
it
appears
to
be
now.
And
after
Berlin,
what?
The
Queen
Charlotte
Islands
.
.
.
Today
we
publish
an
interesting
contribution
by
W.
N.
Giegerich
of
Nashua,
Montana,
who
knows
the
Queen
Charlotte
Islands
well
and
whosvt&ipjj
isrengaged
in
farming
there.
.Mr.
"t-fpjgoi'ich
points
to
the'
:
great
ag-'
ricultural
possibilities
of
the
Islands
which
he
asserts
have
been
exploited
for
many
years
but
towards
the
permanent
development
q
which
little
has
been
done
or
contributed.
JIr.
Giegerich,
in
his
article,
asks
what
Prince
Rupert
is
doing
to
help
the
Islanders
or
even
to
encourage
the
business
which
is
naturally
tributary
to
Prince
Rupert
actually
coming
here.
There
has
not
doubt
been
a
tendency,
particularly
during
the
recent
war
years
for.
Prince
Rupert
to
have
lost
some
of
1
the
interest
which
i
formerly
took
in
the
Islands.
It
is
appropriate
enough
that
they
should
be
brought
to
our
attention
again
as
Mr.
Giegerich
has
done.
We
suggest
tha
his
very
interesting
article
be
perused
by
all
our
readers.
One
question
we
might
ask
ourselves
here
at
home
Is
whether
we
are
constructing
a
mental
home
big
enough
to
-house
the
victory
our
boys
are
helping
to
win.

the
