London, May 0.—Premier Borden,
Ain a message in Tlie Canadian Daily
Record, says : "Reinforcements have
arrived from Canada in large num-
bers during recent weeks, and it is
believed that in the not distant fut
lure splendid forces from the kindred
nation which adjoins the Dominion
-will come across the seas to fight
witli the Canadians. Every genera-
tion is a trusted for the future, but
upon this generation rests a special
responsibility for the world's future
destiny. Canada has taken a part
that never will be forgotten in the
great theaters of action where that
destiny is being worked out. Each
can truly feel he is playing an ap-
pointed part in the greatest effort
for freedom, democracy and civiliza-
tion that history has ever recorded,"
