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?

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. - Bluevale. • On Wednesday evening about sixty friends and relatives gathered at the lrome of Mrd and Mrs. Wm.

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 After beiog m i s e i n g for about eighteen months Stefauseon, the Can- adian Etplorer and his party, bare been heard from at 1 et.
