The Blaltt- more Sun bas this to say of Canada— that "it le an, honor to live next door to her.” Blood is thicker than water, Our American cousins were quick to. grasp the significance of Canada's re- sponse to the challenge of Germany. Our giotories were their victories. When Canada won fame they cheered with the best of u", and felt it an hon- er to Live next door to us, 'i,'he Balti- more Son reffacte the close and ftiend- ly relations that now subsist between the Republic and the Dominion; "Kipling called Canada 'Our Lady of the Snow', but the story which our staff correspondent is telling of her war record shows that when her pride, her loyalty, and her affections are enlisted she is the Vesuvius of Nations. Every American ought to read the narra- tive of Canadian sacrifice and Can. adieu heroism. It is an epic which Homer might have been proud to tell, We confess that, when we oompare thie splendid enthusiasm, this eager devotion, this unques- tioned and magnificent eourage and uneelfiehness with certain manifestations of American indif- ference, half-heartoduess, and cal- culating prudence, we feel a genets of humiliating moral inferiority. "Some fool Americana before the war used to talk about annexing Canada and extending to it the blessings of Republican 'govern- ment, Unlees we raise ourselves to the spiritual level of these great- souled people, the best thing that could happen to us would be to get Canada to annex no, But we hope these letters will thrill our hearts - with admiration, and will stir us with a generous emulation. To be a Canadian must be, for the next generation at least, .equivalent to being one of the elect of the earth." Canadians at home must live up to thin record. It is a record which has not been made by the Government or by Parliament, or by the millions of Canadians who live in comparative ease and security within their borders remote from the thundering reverber- ations of the guns. This record and Ibis fame were won on the fields of battle where sleep the vanguard of Canada's army of national defence— the noble youths who for a perilled heritage "In some divine awakening caught, Set it against all dream and joy, • And died in rapture at the thought," • --Toronto Globe, July 26, THE GREAT WAR MAP Canadian homes will no longer have difficulty in following the Canadian troops in France.

It has been made specially for the great Canadian Weekly. The To tnily Herald and Weekly Star, of Montreal, and is a credit indeed to Canadian enterprise, It is a marvel of detail and yet not crowded. It is in four colors and about 2 x 8i feet and folded into a very neat cover, about 5 x 10 inches. The Map is surrounded by a border of the regimental badges and coat of arms of nearly every battalion that left Cana- da, from Halifai to Vancouver. Every important point can be recog- nized et once. That portion of the map covering France ie in a soft color with names of towne and battle scenes in black, easily recognizable. The Map is endorsed by "returned military experts as most complete and accurate in detail. The Map could not be pro- duced, except in such large quantities as The Family Herald will use, at Ioss than two dollars a copy, yet it can be had absolutely free with The Family Herald. Tho publishers of The Family Her- ald and Weekly Star for several months back have been fighting hard against the necessity of increasing their subscription rates, but eventual- ly had to come to it like most other papers, The increase, however, is a mere trifle—twenty-cents a year, mak- ing their new rate $1,25—and with the year's subscription they will include a copy of this great War Map free of charge. This is certainly a generous offer; and one that Canadians will ap- preciate. Many expected a much larger increase in the subscription price of The Family Herald, and are surprised at the small extra amount charged.
