Shall We Play Politics?
"Are we to play politics while the
Hun is at the gate,."—Toronto Globe,
January 25, 1015.
The question is fairly up to the Op•
position.
Tribute from a Liberal
Mr, E. W. Thomson, the well-known
journalist and Canadian correspondent
of the Boston Transcript and a
staunch Liberal in politics, in Bourse
of an interesting letter to Mr. Henri
Bourassa, which appeared in the col-
umns of the latter's, Le Ddvoir, on
September 10, pays a striking tribute
to the foresight and genitie of Sir Rob-
ert Borden in committing Canada
unreservedly to participation in the
war when the break came so suddenly
in August, 1914. Mr. Thomson, after
declaring it to be the paramount duty
of French --Canadians to enlist in this
war "for the future of mankind,"
quite frankly states that it would be
nothing less thou treachery not to
support Sir Robert Borden at the next
general election. Two paragraphs
from Mr. Thomeon's letter, particular-
ly worthy of reproduction, .follow:—, r:
"What is staked on the issue of this
war is precisely the future -of wa"bkind.
If we do not now utterly beat down
the fiohenzolicrns our children's child-
ren must bo elaves to that dynasty; or
else slaves to a militarist caste main..
tained to permit enslavement by the
Hohenzollerns, The one path to a
long or a permanent peace, andto
quiet industrial existence is the way
of our allied gune and men to Berlin."
"Inasmuch as Sir Robert Borden
boldly put Canada on that way, and
has steadily pursued- that course, he
appears to me to have been guided by
well-informed sense and by such in-
spiration as may properly be termed
genius. None but a great man would
have dared what he dared in August
I914—venturing to interpret the real
mind of the Canadian people in such a
time of confused opinion and quaking
dismay. I humbly confess that`he
theta knew, as by instinct, what men
like "rub self, wbo at first objected to
Canada's being committed to the war
without a mandate from the electors,
would be thinkiltgwhdn tho time should
have disclosed the power, prepared -
nese, and devilry of Prussia. To do
other than support him in the general
election which arenas to to impo_d
ing would,. it seems to me, be treach-
erous to the` -cause to which Canada
stands engaged. To defeathim would
be to -testify that Canada had flunked
and wished- to crawl out. That
would be a heavy lose to the Allied
cause; a large encouragement to Ber-
lin."

LETTER FROM THE FRONT
The following letter was written by
Pte. R. Stratton who was recently
wounded at the front,
Dear Monter, Dad and
Just a few lines to let you know
how things ere. Well at present I am
not feeling too badly,the wound is a
bitsore but 1 meet etpect ,.that for 4
few days, 1 am going to telt yon 9
little about the battle on the Somme
which I was in,
On the 'nth of Sept, an attack was to
be tarried out, and at 12 35 we were to
go over and take the first line. You
see, everything has to be done at a
certain second because the artillery
opens up at a certain time, and if
everything is not done at the proper
time the infantry will run into our
own artillery fire. As we take one
line they are lifting the barage of fire
over the second line, and so on until
we gain our objective. Dotson under-
stand? Well we had three lines to
take and about two o'clock we had
taken two lines and were held there
because of barb wire between the
second and third line We had lost
pretty heavily but the order came
that we had to take the third line be-
fore we would get relieved. Our boys
had been in the trenches for eight
days and living mostly on bully beef
and biscuits but we still had a little
pluck left. At about dusk we went
over, the bombers going Bret, there
mere more Germans in the trenches
than we expected so we bombed for
about two hours and reached it with
about thirty men. That was the tifte
when 1 got it. But we had a good
feed and lots of cigars and cigarette%
all in a big (lemon dug -out. The
place we took wee Courcetotte, the
same time the Brli','eh took - Thiepval.
Now don't you think I've done my bit,
if I don't do any more? It is'nt
everyone#stat can get a nice blighty,
I kno isn� e hundreds who would
give to get,a nice blighty.
Well nd all I think this will
interest you for a while no will close
hoping this will find you all safe and
well.
