There is a call for Canadian boys,
A call that needs you now,
How this war is going to end
We cannot tell just how.
If the Kaiser gains to victory,
Yourselves will be to blame.
Now don a khaki jumper
And get into the game.
Your King and Country wants good
men,
And t7anadians are that kind,
Now get your name on the honor roll
And do not lag behind.
The Canadians are the plucky kind,
The raperq all have said.
Who ever new a true Oanadian
Yet to be afraid?
'
You know the praise Canadians get
• Who are fighting at the front,
Now join the ranks, like loyal men
And take a Garman hunt.
Dee an honor to be a volunteer,
'To shirli deity is a shame,
Now when you go out to the front,.
Re sure and get big game.

WHAT WAS YOUR PART
Where will you look, sonny, when
Will you look
when your children yet to be e
Olamor to learn of the part you took
In the war that kept men free?
Will you say It was naught to you if
trance
Stood up to her foe or bunked?
But where will you look when they
give the glance
That tells you they know you
flunked?
Why do they call sonny, why do they
gall
For men who are brave and strong?
Is it not to you if your country fall,
And Right le smashed by Wrong?
Is It football still and the picture show,
The cup and the betting odds,
When your brothers stand to the
tyrant's blow
And Britain's call is. sod's?
What will you lack, sonny, what will
you lack
When the girls line up the street,
Shouting their love to the lads come
back
From the foe they rushed to beat?
Will you send a strangled cheer to the
sky
And grin till your cheeks are red?
But what will you lack when your
mate goes by
With a girl who cuts you dead?
How will you fare, sonny, bow will
you fare
In the far -oft winter night,
When you elt by the fire in an old
man's chair
And your neighbors talk of the fight?
Will you slink away, as it were from
a blow,
Your old head shamed and bent;
Or say " 1 was not with the first to go
But I went, thank God, I went?"
HAROLD BEGBID,
On The Field Of Honor
The publishers of the Family Herald
and Weekly Star, Montreal, are mak-
ing a strong bid for that beautiful pie.
ture, full of pathos, entitled "On the
Field of Honor," It is assumed the
publishers of the Family Herald have
in mind using it as a presentation
plate. If that is so there is a great
treat in store for readers of the Family
Herald and Weekly Star this autumn.
In paet years the Family Herald of
Montreal has been noted not only for
the wonderful excellence of that jour-
nal but for many beautiful pictures it
has presented to its r e ad e r e. The
Family Herald has a name for suc-
ceeding in anything it undertakes,
and we feel sure if it is humanly possi-
ble to secure "On the Field of Honor"
that the publishers will succeed in
getting it. "On the Field of Donor"
is attracting widespread attention in
Europe. -

A Country Worth Dying For
In connection with the announce•
meut from Washington that the sink-
ing of the William P. Fry is to be set-
tled with Germany on a cash basis, it
is interesting to recall the fact little
known that the now famous ship got
her name from the late United States
Senator, William 1'. ] ryti Who repre-
sented Main f,or B4O,i years., Senator
.Fry. paiA ¢na of•the most notable tri -
1 butes Qo Great Britian that has ever
been made by a representative of a
foreign power. An extract from that
speech is well worth repeating at this
time;.
"This little incident, with which you
are familiar, is a maraelou,e illustra-
tion of the protegtion which Great
Britian gives to her subjects. The
King of Abyssinia took a British sub-
ject named Cameron in 1807 and car-
ried him up to the fortress of Mag.
dela, upon the heights of a rocky
mountain, and put him into a dun-
geon, It took sir, i onthe for the Brit-
ish to find ,hie out. Then Great Brit-
ain, demanded his immediate release
which King Theodore refused. In less
than 10 days after his refusal was re-
ceived 16,000 British soldiers including
5,000 Sepoye, were on board ships of
war sailing down the coasts. They
disembarked marched across the ter-
rible country a distance of 400 miles
under a burning sun up to the moun-
tains, up to the very heights in front
of the towering dungeon, then gave
battle, battered down, the iron gates
in the stone wall, reached down into
the dungeon and lifted out that one
British subject. Then they carried,
him down the mountains, across the
land, p'bt him on board chip and sped
him to his own land in safety, That
cost Great Britain $25,000,000 and
made Gen, Napier, Lord Napier of
Magdalen That was a great thing for
a great country to do -a country that
has an eye that can see across the
ocean, all across the land, away ep to
the mountain'eheights and away down
to the dark dungeon, one subject out
of her 880,00,000 of people, and then
has an arm strong enough and long
enough to stretch across the same
ocean, across the same land, from the
same mountain heights,, down to the
same dungeon, and then lift him out
and carry him home to hie own
country and friend! In God's name,
who would not die for a country that
would do that?
New Loud Discovered
