Why not make an example of Quebec rebels? —0— It is said that some of the British Batteries used their guns so much that they heated and firing had to cease but with a self-denying that proved their courage • and heroism to be the real things they emptied their water bottles on the guns and resumed the hail- storm of shot and shell. Such a spirit is worthy of the best support possible. —0— The Daughters of the Empire recommend that the National Anthem be sung at the opening rather than at the close of public meetings and performances. This certainly is sensible.

The Mitchell Advocate might give the Guelph brother some light on this weighty subject. The New Era is unable to suggest a remedy unless catnip will till the bill.

Sentiment -is all right in its place but if a man is hungry a loaf of bread fills the need infinitely better than a treatise on mental or moral achievement. The pledging of our fidelity to the Empire has been ,well told in song, speech and story but when the bugle sounds the advance and our brave khaki lads climb ower the parapets to meet the foe something more is essenti4 to win the day. Conscription or voluntary enlistment is being bandied about but more definite and united action must be pro - gran -tied if practical support is to be.secured to don the colors and heartily support the soldiers of- the' Empire at the front, Let us quit snarling and shuffling and stand by the Red, White and Blue. 0 ' The supreme task before the British Em- pire is now to win the war and secure the final victory in 1917. if, through indiffer, ence, tardiness or refusal or proper support in men, money and munitions, is not accorded and Germany should win—What then? You say that such a thing could not be. Suppose Russia continues to be unsettled and busy at settling her home perplexities that she will not throw her night against Pr'ussianislii, who is going to supply the millions to take their place? The heavy weight has rested on the British and will continue to do so to close of the great struggle and now is not the time to withold unless we wish militar- ise to triumph and Germany dominate this great Empire, We look for splendid support from the United States bid some months may elapse before they get a fighting force of weight in the trenches,although the first contingent may soon take part in the con ;act.
