WAR AND CANADIANS
Torolno et.,
Tbe ides mo'.t Canadians have about
war is that it is something to which
young men voluntarily go away. War
dotes not come to us.
The extreme good fortune of the
position the Dominion occupies politi-
cally as the daughter of her mother
and geographically as the next door
neighbor of her elder brother, was
nevet more in evidence than now.
Men will go away at the risk of life
and limb to take at share in this war,
and those who stay at home will he
subjected las much lose and distress.
perhaps, but of the tremendous trag-
edy going forward now over the
trampled fields of Belgium we get
nothing but the distatrt echo. The
real thing as it occurs impresses those
rmfa.Uiar with it as being-Unreal—
as being about unsubstantial as a.
play, ora dream. or a moving picture
thrown on a screen. When people
read that thirty thousand men on one
aide have teen killed or wounded and
half as many on the other, they do
not grasp the processes and details of
this vast slaughter. because our coun-
try has seen note of it. Our people
did not know the tlaiu and can form
n u mental picture of the disaster in
which they were coarsely destroyed.
To get some notion of the battles
reported from Belgium or from Alsace
one must imagine two great armies
contending with great guns. with in-
fantry and cavalry fur prism of
Toronto, and paying esip miss -
tion to the inhabitants of the city Or
the fate of the city itself. The object
of the attacking army would he to
make the city too hot for the enemy to
bbid. ' TIM ',1ty' Tibio. lfie armories,
the Parliament buildings. the railway
stations. and bridge, would be .blown
up. Some of the finest buildings in
Leige were shelled. The lives of in-
dividuals count for very little hi such
a c-onflict as that, no Matter bow in-
nocent. or good. young or old an indi-
vidual might be.
The story goes that filare shot
some boys heceuse the boys warned

that some chi!dten on going by train
