It eves said by e Wench officer, and is quoted by M. Lavisse in his remarkable article on the value of the present war. The practise common in Lancaehire, of endowing children with such namee ' as "General," "Admiral," "Major," 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 the other day, exempted from milites y service. 4 0 * One of our esteemed citizens was Struck with a stone on Thursday while walking to his busineee place. The boy who threw the stone was about twelve years of age and big enough ta know better. The gentleman who was struck is feeble through continued eickness. It would be a good lesson if this boy had been given a nigbt's lodging in the local "coop" as the atone might easily have one the gentleman uuthougbt of harm. * * An habitual juvenile stone -thrower who had eventually thrown a stone that had hit another boy, was sen- tenced, by a magletrate near Boston, to thew 1000 stones without stopping. The boy expiated his offense; bis story proneptly appeared in Boston and New York newspapers. It would puzzle one to determine whether. in being thus held up to public vievic it was in. tended to exhibit him as a punished culprit or as a hero, eoelifflcult is it to draw the line between genuine refor- matory work and maudlin sentitnen- - tality. • * • Fatth can remove mountain's, and it is hoped the faith of Premier R. L. 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 that a sufficient number of volunteers willibe forthcoming to "see it through.", Here's hoping the Premier's faith will be justified. Ile has correctly guaged the people In the past, and the cause is certainly great enough to just- ify that he will prove right in the present. --My-- CHRISTMAS MESSAGE The Hospital for Sick Children COleleECE ST., TORONTO% 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.

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 'home 0Elpt1ed of a little child.

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. A GREAT ACILIEVEItEXT Thirty-three thousand men armed, equipped and sent overseas within six weeks after the declaration of war— the greatest number of arrued men ever to embark upon the seas at one time, up to then—and this though at the outbteak of the war Canada had only four military units of lees than 2500 men.

The rather—and it but nsphasizes the fact that the British bulldog spirit has has found a lodgc. merit in Canada—the people, having given of their best blood and brawn at pree, at Festubert, at Langernarck, at alivenchy, at Verdun (for our total In killed, wounded or missing Is now 30,000) are practically solidly behind the Government in its forward work and are prepared, as General Grant was in his time, to fight the issue out "if it takes all summer." This, then, ie an understanding feta ture In Canada today after two years of war, that her people and her Gov- ernment alike are more determined than ever to do their bit for the cause of the Empire, Tbey bave.seen their per capita, debt increased to over $50; they have had aditional taxes placed upon there; they have seen one home after another put in mourniug, and the will Of the people remains inflexible that Canada and her sons ehall stay in the flglet to the finish until the warmed Huns shall be finally and, fully over- come, and liberty and light be again assured to the world, hit tisday Dee, 7, 1916 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxionag 1 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. A GREAT ACILIEVEItEXT Thirty-three thousand men armed, equipped and sent overseas within six weeks after the declaration of war— the greatest number of arrued men ever to embark upon the seas at one time, up to then—and this though at the outbteak of the war Canada had only four military units of lees than 2500 men.
