What is evident is that the Chinese have made great progress not only in military tactics but in the mor ale and effectiveness of their tronrm. In thp nA rlnvn when. ever Chinese were fighting it was expected that the trooos woum ue scauereu to tne winds as soon as they met an effective force. Today all that seems to be changed. The ninese are maKing a determined stand against the Japanese and, judging from reports, neither side seem to have made much progress. Some people Jiave been killed, some of them non-combatants, including some foreigners. A LESSON TO CANADA The war in the Orient is a lesson to Canadians ano all other peaceful nations who feel that, because they art not military-minded, no other nation will attack them. The recent development of the war spirit in a number of nations, where the children are taught that war is a noble thing and that nations can become great only through military achievement, makes it necessary for peaceful nations like Canada to be on the defensive and to steadily strengthen their defences. Canada must be prepared for any .eventualities if she is to remain a nation. She ha not even that power of absorption which characterizes thf Chinese. ORE AT IMPROVEMENT SEEN The president of the Canadian National Railways, after touring western Canada, reported in Montreal that business conditions had improved very greatly since he made the rounds before. Everywhere he found a spirit of optimism which was very encouraging. From the railway point of view the encouraging sign was the improvement in railway and steamship travel which will have a great effect on the revenues of the lines affected. t Mr. Hungerford has in the past been very conservative m regard to his statements.. He is not given to exaggeration or to undue optimism. Anything he says if? tu or he would not sav it. World's Champion Revolver Shot At Luncheon Of Gyro Sergeant Robert O.

The Letter Box ALBERTA'S FINANCE Editor Dailv News: word "federal" in speaking of Dom- inion affairs. All the newspapers do it and the careless use of the word leads to the belief that the provinces are in possession of sovereign rights which were not conferred by Confederation. Perhaps this sort of carelessness is to some extent responsible for the apparent presumption of the provincial gov- day.
