Eagle is taken the following resume of Canada's activity in defence of the 'Empire since the days of the Ameri- can revolution: • . • While tbie is.the first time' idiot Canada, has been engaged in inter- national strife 'skee becoming a na- tion, it is by no means the first time She ha taken up •arms in behalf of the mother country. In fact, until the'Boer Was Canada was the only jiart of the Empire outside the Brit- ish Ieles which had to fight ter. -the British flag against -foreign attack. In most eases Canada had nothing to do with the war except to fight in it. . During the American Revolution Canada was attacked only because it still kept the British flag flying, although the Americans 'had no di- rect quarrel with Canada itself. During the War of 1812, when the brunt of the conflict came upon the Canadian borders. the quarrel AYS,S entirely of British making, and C-an- ade had to stand alone, with onla bendful of British soldiers to aid At the time of, the Crimean 'War "someone filled With patriotism, .buf not knowing snitch about the Coun- try" offered to raise a force.of about 12,000 Then. Canada at that time' had no • population which- Could stand sad a- drain. Nevertheless, there WaS raised in Nova ,Scotia a body of recruits known as ,the foreign legion."

After they laid been pub through a. certaiu amount of drilling, they were trans- ported to England and became -part ol the British army. • The raising of a Canadian regi- ment at the time of the Sepo Re - hellion in India -was a. more credit- able affair, Ls the beginning of March 1858, Great -Britain formally decided to accept -a .0-miadian regi- ment. A corps was promptly re- cruited, ',and entered apon the Brit- ish army roils, as the One Hun- dredth Reganent, or the Prince of WaleRoyal Canadian Regiment.... Later, in 1881., it was linked with' the old One Hundreelth and .Ninth and became part oS a battalion of the Leinster Regiment. Recruiting for this regiment Was aceively carried on in. Ontario and Quebec, beginning in March, and before the end o,f rune a corps of 1,200 men was on its way to Eng- land. The first uniforms worn were old-fashioned costumes that; had been in storage ,since the War of 1515 in Canada.
