the \'in,ltoi Red Cross
'Tninn have every reason to he peond
of t11eT splendid wo'k as shown in
yourt'epnrt and the boys over' here
appreciate the gifts more than _words
can tell, The womanhood of Oanada
in keeping with othere in the Oolonies
and mother country have set up a
tnagnifioent ideal that we boys on cur
1510111 must try and 1-eciproeate by
Home manliness and all that it means..
If the et as nobly a and gallant on
their return as they are doing here,
fighting or working on the Held of

ly repaid for year untiring efforts,
selfsaeriecr, kind' messages and words
of cheer which mean so much to the,
boys. The smile, kindly word and
tnessage of cheer has helped lots of we
hays when we were feeling "blue,"
Ih conclusion, Mrs, Berry, you may
be old in years but you are young in
spirit and I just wish there was a
larger percentage of your type of
thought in the manhood and woman -
hoed of this country and there would
be less talk about Qonsoription. The
point to get the war finished, do the
talking afterwards. The more men
we have the less for each to do and
vice.versa, We all get "fed up" 'oc-
casionally, but we men do "stick to it"
and see it through to successful finish,
The "stiektoativeness" is the essential
quality wanted here and we have got
lots of it but can do with more. I
hope the people in Canada will see to.
it that no doubt is left in the minds
of the"Powers that be" that Canada
once she has put her hand to the plow
is not going to look down or give up
but retm'n a Government that will
give ue what we most desire at pres-
ent, men and more men and that 'by
Aonscription. I am making my note
of thanks rather lengthy, but once I
get on this topic about Canadian
affairs my Scotch blood seems to boil.
I must stop before it reaches the
°limas. My address is,

Again thanking you for your welcome
and opportune gift and wishing you

are doing well and giving Canada the

The Hamilton Convention
A good deal of interest is being ex-
cited throughout Ontario in the Con-
vention which bas been called to bei
held in Hamilton, Friday, Nov. 2nd,
to which Conscriptionist Liberals are
invited from every Riding in the
Province. It was set on foist previous
to the formation of _Union .Govern-
ment by some 50 or 60 Liberals repre-
senting various parts of the Province,
who, beiug strong supporters of Con-
scription, - thought a leader should be
selected to lead the Conscriptionist
wing of their party in the coming
election.
Subsequently the new Government
was formed and now these Liberals
ate supporting it and it is expected
the Convention will endorse the Union
Government. It is hoped that all
Liberals who are in sympathy with
the call will be in Hamilton on the
and. rt will be au historic gathering
