The practise common in Lancaehire,
of endowing children with such namee

and so on, is at any time apt to lead t.
amusing confusions. At the present
time, in the British army, there is at
least one "General" who is receiviog
private's pay, and an ',Admiral" is in a
similar position. A "Major" was, only

Borden will inspire Canadians to a
higher ideal.
Be declared proudly at New York
that Canada will see the war through,
and as the Premier has already declar-
ed that no man will be forced to take
up arms against his will, the Prime
IVIinister must nave" the conviction

Peer Mr, Bator:—
Tlettake for the privilege of appeal-
ing tbrough your columne on behalf
of tine Hospital for Sick Children, Lb!
treat Provincial Charity.
Our need of moue' is measurecl W
the children'ts need of help, and you
tan Judge how great that need must
be when last year 3,445 Malt little one'
were treated as in -patients, and as wit,
be eeen from the 1916 flguree, 5e.r
patients a ere admitted from 24,
places; outride Toronto. °
Last year 271 hapatients were treat
ed for deformities, suth as club feet
bow-legs, knockekneee, Pott's clieease et
the spine, lateral curvature of ill(
spine, dieloca tines infantile paralysis
tabercular dieease of knee, hip, aultle
Is the Hospital for Sick Children tc
take dollars out of your pocket, or b
aeath to take babies out of their
°radio? That Is the question.
One gift atom in the Hospital's trea
sury means one coffin. lel•ts In. flu:.
LITTLE WHITE HEARSE.
The Hospital mud be digging up
help for little children from the soil of
human kindness, or sextons will be
digging graves for little chilaren in
the soil of many a cemetery.
The Hospital for Sick Children can
ouly volunteer its mercy in so far as
you friends of little callclren volunteer
your money for service in the Hos.
pital's never-ending battle for the lives
of the little ones. ,
Let your mouey flgat in the trenches
of eome mother's trouble and rescue,
some little cleild from the dugout of
pain, disease and death. •
Can the Hospital leave children to
die because the fathers of those chil-
dren have left home to fight for lib-
erty on the British battle lino, and can
the Hospital help the children of Can-
ada's soldiers with its care unless you
help the Hospital with your cash?
You have money enough to help
very other war fund without keeping
back a dollar from the Hospital's war
fund --.-the fund that helps the Hospital
save the lives of little children, includ-
ing the soldiers' little children.
Do not let the little children pay, in
the loss of the Hospital's care, the eon
tribution that should be given and
must be given to the war funds,
Your money can send a message of
cheer to some father in the trenches—
yes, send that message from the cot
where the Hospital nurses some little
child back to life, the child of the
father who is fighting your battle in
the trenches,
rt'erY dollar kept from the Hos-
Ditazo power to serge the IittIe chil-
dren is a weight added to the burdens
and a grief added to the sorrows of
this war.
You can bear to have your pocket
emptied of a little money easier than
sofat mother can bear to have her

Will you send a dollar. or more if

NO GRAFT
But though this be an outstanding
feature, there is one other that must
appeal to the thoughtful people of the
world as yet more significant; that in
these two terrible years there bas been
no governnaental graft or scandal or
graft. no governmental corruption or
dishonesty. Mistakes of judgment
there undoubtedly have been, but they
have been in minor and inconsequent-
ial matters and accepted as such by
the people. True, there were charges
against Sir Sam Hoghes, Minister of
Militia, and the Shell Committee—the
latter an Imperial organization, for
which the Canadian Government was
in no wise responsible—but after these
charges had been exhaustively investi-
gated by a non -partizan commission
of judges Sir Sam and the Committee
were completely exonerated awl the
charges almost contemptuously dis-
missed. Beyond this, there has not
been even a breath of suspicion against
the government, presided over by the
Rt. Hon. Sir R. L. Borden, who has
grown amazingly in statesmanlike
stature anti political sagacity in this
titue of national areas.
Here, then is where we find Canada
after two yeara war—undounted in
her spirit, unshaken in her purpose
and with a clean and honorable record
of work well done,
As to what that work has been, let
the fligures theruselvee briefly put, tell

NO GRAFT
But though this be an outstanding
feature, there is one other that must
appeal to the thoughtful people of the
world as yet more significant; that in
these two terrible years there bas been
no governnaental graft or scandal or
graft. no governmental corruption or
dishonesty. Mistakes of judgment
there undoubtedly have been, but they
have been in minor and inconsequent-
ial matters and accepted as such by
the people. True, there were charges
against Sir Sam Hoghes, Minister of
Militia, and the Shell Committee—the
latter an Imperial organization, for
which the Canadian Government was
in no wise responsible—but after these
charges had been exhaustively investi-
gated by a non -partizan commission
of judges Sir Sam and the Committee
were completely exonerated awl the
charges almost contemptuously dis-
missed. Beyond this, there has not
been even a breath of suspicion against
the government, presided over by the
Rt. Hon. Sir R. L. Borden, who has
grown amazingly in statesmanlike
stature anti political sagacity in this
titue of national areas.
Here, then is where we find Canada
after two yeara war—undounted in
her spirit, unshaken in her purpose
and with a clean and honorable record
of work well done,
As to what that work has been, let
the fligures theruselvee briefly put, tell
the story.

Thirty-three thousand men armed,
equipped and sent overseas within six
weeks after the declaration of war—
the greatest number of arrued men

only four military units of lees than
2500 men.

Two boys fighting, one big one small,
The big one pounded the small one

To the rescue a big boy quickly went,
And pounded the bully till he was

When our hero feign would leave the
fight
The bully held on grim etern and tight

I'll fight tight, tight with all nay might
And when hese dead then look out you
For Imean to knife you through and

The Bully e tyrant cruel and sly,

Who'd swallow the world, swear to a

He wants the world, Heaven as well,
But be Mire of this he'll just get Hell.
