An Engliah woman has suggested that s memorial roadway lined with trees be built in every British country whereby the heroes of this war will be kept in oonstant remembrance, She has undertaken to gain the interest of women in oath section who might be in&uenoial in furthering this scheme, Phe idea is a fine one and should be carried out al etematically, It has many points in ite favor, For one the pro- posed memorial will easily be under- stood by every 0n0,, Those who stand 'unmoved and dumb before monuments' of marble and bronze—and in the last analysis almost every one does—will respond to the lesson of the trees, -The groves were God's first temples' and their messages penetrates into the densest understanding. Treee soothe or inspire, restrain or urge to notion ac cording to the need of the one who comes under their influence, Such an avenue world be peculiarly fitting for Canada. Forests are pelt of her birthright and nobly has eke contributed them for the Empire's need, Trees and sturdy forrestera gave 'ships and aeroplanes; no ineoneid- erable bit in Ellie war has been contrib- uted by trees. The idea of a tree bor- dered road is attractive because the road can be made so beautiful. Eaek province can become acquainted with its own natural beauty. More than that no child can learnt(' be indifferent to or wasteful of trees, destroying there wantonly ar allow them to go unoared for while thin carefully selected and really sacred line of trees become more beautiful year after year. It is a great thing and a`fne thing to love trees, This memorial road will teach that love, It happens more often thea other- wise that monuments moan little to the generations following that one which erected the monument, Localities change, style's of arobiteeture change *entree of trade cud social life move here and there, the elements get in their inevitable work and standards of art ehange, Within the course of e generation a monument which is con sidered imposing when erected becomes an eye Bore. Its setting is destroyed or made incongruous, even its purpose loses its appeal, Not so with an aven- ue of trees, Their beauty can never die. They confer distinction on an otherwise unattractive spot and they go on increasing in beauty as long as they live, Every season is kind to thee- and not one is capable of depriv- ing the trees of beauty. The thing for which the road was made will never be ierkeeetere never lose in grandeur, its paths, will never be diminished nor its mageifioence dimmed because all these will be proclaimed iu something that lives and grows, A memorial road in such an excellent idea, also, because all cheeses will be reached, High and low, rich and poor, city bred and country folk will traverse the road and in some stage of the jour- ney will think at least ono' of the work of sacrifice and love which is thus im- mortalized, The road might be a mod est one leading to God's acre" or it might be planned to finally become a long highway reaching from town to town, even from province to province.

After this memorial road is well assured there are 'several other moon. ments which need to be made, One to that pathetic army—a veritable army— of boys who knew no home exoept that provided for "waifs and strays", Can- ada has eared for hundreds. The pathetic loyalty of these homeless boys is one of the touching, inepiring things of thie war- Many have laid down their lives well satisfied to repay in this way the care which British guard- ians have bestowed in place of father and mother. These boys should have a monument the most appealing and beautiful that any one can suggest, Their devotion should be immortalized in browse and marble and also in some. thing very human appealing, something that will help other boys in like uiroum staneee, ' MEMORIAL The Huron County Belgian Relief Xmas Appeal Isasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these, ye have done unto mei By their fruit we shall them.
