On the sea U-boats are being slowly but surely exterminated, while nn the laud the French arm y has definitely shown, the .superi- nritv of its men and- machines over those o t Germany, inci- ■ del tally a' superiority not unexpected, as the P>ench were known to have the finest army in Europe, In .the air the Kritish and French personnel and planes have had the edge on their opponents, which, has probably been responsible for the absence of "bohibing of London and Paris, lest a more awful fate be visited on Berlin and other German cities. The stalemate, however, cannot last for ever, and, re- ihembering the German fondness for what is known technically as "the enveloping attack ," it would seem likely, th a t before long the Nazi forces will stage three concerted drives--at the Maginot Line in the Saarbrucken-Moselle sector, through- Switzerland, and through Holland or Belgium. In this con­ nection it should be stated th a t this form of attack is the most difficult of all, because it m ust be perfectly timed to be successful, and' a large superiority in forces is required, which the Germans do not'possess. Offhand, one would judge th a t „the first two at any ra te would, if made, be doomed to failure. ̂ But outside the ring to which we have referred above indications are beginning to point to a lurking danger. We refer to Russia, who four or five years ago we stated editorially would yet be foun'd in alliance with Germany, and were . severely criticized for So saying. I t is doubtful w hether, anyone outside the inner Nazi and Bolshevik rings^ knows exactly what secret relationships, if any, exist between Ger­ many and Russia, but evidence accumulates th a t the la tter . is at least a potential enemy, for her own advantage, of course,- Keep your looney Circulating in W est V ancouver ,Vyesi Vancouver C/iamber of Commerce WELFARE ASSOCIATION f c S t i i i l i l Mi.ss Nellie Harri.son TO TEACH PIANO HERE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE A ireat is in .store for the nicmbors of the West, Vancouver Chamber of Commerce a t the regular monthly (linnet meeting on Wednesday, November 8, in, the Clachan Hotel.
