The War Summary
The Balkan States are still the cen-
tre of interest. Bulgaria seems to
have definitely thrown in her lot with
Germany and Austria and her old
enemy Turkey. Greece still stands
neutral with a leaning toward the Al-
lies who are marching troops through
'ler territory. Germany has begun
her invasion of Serbia and captured
the old capital Belgrade on the bor-
der. The Allies troops must now be
in a position to help Serbia. Russia
has resumed the offensive and is, bat-
tering the Germans hard, and driven
them back 20 miles, Italy's offensive
is increasing while France and Britain
are successful ja the west,
An authority makes the statement
that thc British Empire before the
war comprised 11,454,802 square miles
excluding Egypt, the Soydari and Cy -
For those who object to, or dis-
courage their sons from enlisting for
the war there is another consideration
How is the man who is fit and free
who knows his country needs him,
go-
ing
to maintain his self respect if he
doesn't enlist? How after the war
is over and the victory won, are such
young men going to square them-
selves with the world? It is ,not in
the nature of. things that they have -
hag shirked this 'great duty, can be
in the years to come the men they
otherwise would be and should ,be.
That is worse than the fate,. of those
who fall on the field of battle.

None of the British dominions has
done better than Nev Zealand in sup
pore of the allied cause. With a
white population of slightly more than
a million, the little dominion has al-
ready sent away close to 20,000 men
anc recently despatched is fourth con
tingent 2000 strong. The fifth and
sixth reinforcements, numbering 4000
mer are now in training and recruit
ing for newlevies is proceeding, The
record for New Zealand is highly
creditable to patriotism of this far
distant outpost of the empire. Men-
tion too deserved to be made of the
remarkable loyalty displayed by the
altioris, the original New Zealanders
far and away the' finest of the native
ram. encountered by the pioneer col-
onists from the motherland. They
too are represented in Gallipoli and
are doing their dut'r right ,worthily.
and well.
Much has been said about Henry
Ford's opinions regarding the present
war The Toronto World interview-
ed the great auto manufacturer the
other day and these are some of his
remarks,—"If the sacrifice of my
whole fortune would stop the war I
would gladly make it to -marrow. The
human sacrifice of life is horrible to
me, and I would give all I have, and
all. I could make -for the rest of my
life to end this war and all future
war, and the militarism which I be-
lieve to be the cause gee the war. Yes
I'd be with the allies rather than the
Germans simply because the Germans
are 'the worst, but I would' not be
with them to kill. I am always ag-
ainst ifightin•g and slaughter: I'll con-
cede that the military • crowd Ger-
many is 'worse than anywhere else.
I waneto put down. militarism Ind
have, no other aim,. What I have said,
is for the sole object oft stopping the
war. I am not against any nation.
Undoubtedly Henry Ford is a bet-
ter .manufacturer of automobiles than
he is a wiseacre on. military matters.
He loses sight of the fact that the
only way to put down militarism, is
to conquer it, and that is what the
Alliee will •do with the military spire
ie in Germany. -
