DEAR FRIEND -We are gathered to-
day as the citizens of Brussels, your
fellow 'townsmen, to bid you a -wel-
come to our village upon this your
first visit since donning the colors of
the Empire. The decision to which
you have come in this hour of supreme
crisis, isone which. :excites in the
breast of every citizen of your village'
ti, deep seated pride and touches the•
springs of their best and highest
patriotism We deem it a _ high hon-
or ec indeed to -have this privilegeof ex -
Pg y
all
ex-
pressing to you, in even a -ern way,
Our high esteem. We auk you to ac-
cept this wrist watch as a small token
of our appreciatiim. We trust it
will ever remind you of Lite people of
the homeland, while you are doing
your duty on the firing line for King
and Country. ' Ours is no means, strug-
gle. It is a conflict to the very death.
You shall be called upon to measure
swords with themightest foe in
Europe, We feel confident ynu will
do your part and that Canada and the
Empire will find: in you a brave and
heroic son, May yoll never forget
that the part you play will be the
part of a righteous cense. 13ritain has
done no wrong. She has entered this
conflict with clean hands 'and a pure
heart. .A. perverted philosophy and
low ideals rept esenting Prussian
militarism and expounded -by their
teachers, preachers and University
professors have emerged in a return
to barbarism that has flung the
civilized world into chaos and:. has
wrested Germany from the seats of
the.mighty to become a hissing and a
byword among the Nations. Ours is
a struggle for Liberty, Truth and.
Righteousness.' A great foe, the
would be master of Europe, has chal-
lenged the freedom of Belgium, Ser-
bia and the emerging free nationalities
of the near hast. Democracy in all
Nations is challenged. The master
despot rallies the states and peoples
he has subjugated by his autocracy.
and insulted by his military despotism
and calls them "Forward with God,"
against the democracy of the world.
May you ever recall the words of your
illustrious sovereign, King George,
"Had I stood aside I should have Sac-
rificed my honor and given to destrtic
tion the liberties of toy Empire and
mankind." The sword is unsheathed
and if it please God, it shall not find
its way to the scabbard until tnilitar-
ism, despotism and barbarism are
crashed and destroyed forever and
forever. As you walk atnid the
battlefields of Europe made sacred by
the thousands slain in a just and
righteous cause, inlay' you manfully
endeavor to do your part. Maya these
words inspire you to great deeds and
noble sacrifices -"We'll never. let the
old flag fall." May the God of Liber-
ty, Righteousness and Truth guard
and protect you and bring you safely
hack to us again.
