Show HEY. JOHNNY BULL! STOP A BIT! Say, you Britisher, go slow or you will end this ivar before Ameca can show the world the full power of her mailed fist. Last winter 'we were wondering what had happened to the British and in March we thought we know for Haig was fighting with his back to the wall. Wo thought the British had fallen down on the job, but today they arc the whole show. They are slashing right and left, taking towns and prisoners pris-oners as though they possessed a mysterious mys-terious power of conquest. They are stopping at nothing. Not even the Hin-enburg Hin-enburg line and the Drocourt-Qeuant switch checks them. They are decouch-ing decouch-ing on the plains of Douai and, if they jkeep up the pace a few hours longer, there will be more Germans going back to the Fatherland than at any time since the beginning of the war. We take our hat off to Johnny Bull, that typical individual whose bulldog tenacity is famed in history. Nothing has so impressed us as to England's unconquerable spirit than this triumph, coupled with a first-hand statement brought back from Washington Wash-ington by an Ogdenitc, which briefly related follows: "I -was talking with a Canadian high official," said the Ogden man, "and he told me how an English war board visited Canada last year and re- quested the Canadian government to propare to produce heavy ordnance. Tho Canadians answered that they were making explosives and could not understand why thoy should be called on to turn out artillery equipment. The English representatives thou disclosed dis-closed the fact that England did not know how soon tho snug little island would be cut off from contact with the outside and tho British empire, looking look-ing at the most dismal side, was planning plan-ning to continue the fight with her colonies as bases of supply." No nation of people with hearts fo strong can bo defeated short of annihilation. |
