have been- engaged for Almost three
weeks in o'btaining Men, and ,In not
few cases the *results have been such
as to show ;that the eall of the Empire
falls upon unheeding eare. It would'
almost seem that outside of the larger
centres of Population the War is IT.-
garded as something remote and n-
• teresting only as a drama the action'tof,
which ;may be .followed in the daily
PrTesg
he. above is' from • the Toronto Globe
of a recent date and 'the figures given
attest the truthfulness of the state-
ment. an 'Western Ontario, after three
weeks of recruiting half the, number
had not been obtained. For the 33rd
Battalion, the recruiting centres of
_Which are London, 'Woodstock, Chat-
ham -St , Thomas, Strathroy and Clin-
ton, 4.7,2oo men were asked for and
only 493 enlisted, or a little over half
the number reqUired. For the 34thaat-
talon of which Woodstock, Sarnia.
Stratford, Galt, Guelph, Walkerton and
Berlin are the recruiting points, ono
thousand men are, wanted and only
do offered, or less than halt It Is
,probable ;that 601110 -may .have enlisted
at each of these pi -Ants since thesa
-figures were taken.. But even at that
'the asuitibers must still be far short.
,This is not as it 'should be and it
is not a creditable' showing for the
patriotism and. loyalty of the young
Men of the districts concerned. °
As our readers know, The Expositor
has always been strenuously opposed
to imilitarYisrn except for purely pro-
tective purpose; and to war under any
pretense whatever. We believe It to be
a wiokedI waste of -God giVen human
material_ and energy and material re-
sources. al Great Britain had been the
agressor In. this terrible, 'European
struggle, or if' she were eftgaging . in
It for national aggrandisment, then we
would hesitate in recommending -that
Canadians should take any part or lot
in it. ,But When We know that Great
Britain was forced into, the conflict
to conserve her honor and for her pre-
servation as a nation and the ;protect
tion -of her celonies, we can not but be-
lieve that Canada is in duty and 1 In
honor bound to aid and back her up
to Itter last man and her last dollar.
In order'tto maintain her honor and
,to protect !herself and her colonies Bri-
tain Is now engaged in a life and
death struggle, with one of the most
powerful military nations in the world.
Canada is a colony' of Great Britain
and Must 'share her fartun.es 'either in
victory or defeat whether we like it
or not. 'Although we believe that 'vic-
tory will =ultimately,: perch on the ban-
ners lot the Allied forces, it le impos-
sible to say at the present rnoment
'which aide will win or which side will
lose, they are, evidently so evenly
matched. Britain asks' for more men
to aid her in this struggle, she asks
more men troth Canada.' Dare Canada
refuse or neglect ,to send her then
men? of She does whatmay the con-
sequences be 'This is a serious ques-
tion and, one Which should be seriously
considered by Canadians and especi-
ally by the young men of this country.
We have tsaich that we are opposed
to anilitaryism and, war. We ,belleve a
very large 'majority of the people of
this country, are at one with us in
this respect. I.A.nd it is just because
we are so 'much opposed to militaryism
and war that we are se anxious the
Allies 'should win in this contest. :What
is it that Germany is striving and fight-
ing for but to impose upon all ,the
other -nations of the world, -Great Bri-
tian and Canada, included, her
d,etestable 'military eystem, It is to pre-
vent this that Great Britain is sacrit-
icin.g the very flower of her manhood
and pouring out her -financial resources
at the rate of seven million dollars a day
and she asks Canada to help her, Dare
Canada efuse? Granting for a .rnoment
for the sake'of argument that Germany
should win in this gigantic struggle
what would the result to Canada be
As 'we 'said before, Canada, as a colony
of Great Britain must sink or swim
with hex in this conflict. If Britain
wires ave !Nola. It ',Britain loses .we lose
and like Britain we must fall under
the iron heal of German or Prussian
militaryism and all thai, that implies.
Our 'readers s'hould havehsattle idea by -
this time what that doeS imply. Under
Prussian iregithe our youhg hien er our
Old men would not be asked to volunteer
for military service, they would be forc-
ed into the 040 or into a prison cell.
Their Parliainentary: ,representatives
will not -be tree ?gents to contribete
.for the support of the army and the
navy. They will have an -annual levy
made on them by the Kaiser and his
cohorts and will have to pay the levy
whether they like it or not. If we
fail to pay, our goods and. chattels are
seized and isold and our incomes What-
ever ,they Imay be confiscated to pay
the fmilitary up -keep. This ie in part
what Britian is now lighting to save
us !froth. ;More than this., Britain is
fighting 'tor the proper Protection : or
;the weak against the strong and to
inake war impossible tor all time to,.
come: She is 'fighting to have inter- •
national disputes' eettled by arbitration
so That = arinanients and wait w,111 be
forever done away with. The world has
seen What the aerman system does.
This war is being fought to decide
which shall rule, the soldier or the
citizen. Great Britain is on the side of
the citizen. Is not this a cause wor-
thy of our best manhood. Britain asks
us to help he rwith men and money
to win this- glorious cause for herself 1
and, us. This is the cause of our young
men, who have still, in the ordinary
course of events, much of life before
thern. at matters not so much for the
older men whose life is mostly spent
and Who ,for the short tenure of, life
before them might even suffer the Prus-
elan Yoke. But for the young men and
for 'future generations It would, be in-
tolerabte, Now is the time to ward H-
off. . 1
There is not a town or village or
country district in Canada in which
there are not scares of young men
who arephysieally ifit to engage in

for its efficacy. ta'
Mrs. H. N. Truro,. N.S., Writes:
"Last January, 1913, developed an
awful cold, and it hung on to me for so
tong I was afraid it would turn into
consumption:. I would go to bed nights, •
and could not get any sleepat all for the
choking feeling in my throat and lungs,
and someihries I would cough till
would turn. black in the face. A friend
came to see me, and told me of your
remedy, Dr. Wood's Norway Pine Syrup.
I got a bottle of it, and after I had taken •
it could see a great change for the better,
so I got another, and when I had taken
the two bottles xn,y cough was all gone,
and 1 have never had an attack of it since,
and that is now a year ago."
Dr. Wood's Norway Pine Syrup is put =

What the 1War he Doing for
Canada • a
lt is roughly' estlinated that upwards
of :fifty million- dollars worth of orders
for war .materials has been :placed in
Canada; slam the war begun, by
Doininion, provincial and -foreign
governments, with-. many more in pros
pect. Nearly 3,000 factories in Canada
have benifited by these orders, and
stand to 'benefit for some time to come
Instead of falling off, orders for war:
materials, especially from Britain and
her allies, who have now formed a
fairly good, idea, of what they can be,st
procure from the Dominion, and are
placing- thetr orders accordingly, are
expected to increas.. '
It is estimated that upwards of
twenty million dollars have already
been s, Perit by the Dohninion in militia
contracts -aloe. This includes a 'range
of nearly 20.0 articles. It includes the
first order for Ross rifles and bayonets
approximating 30 400 at a cost 6f a
million dollars it also includes 1$30,000
for the conversion of 10,000, of the old
type of rifles; it further includes uni-
forms, boots, equipment, saddles, truck
waggons, ammunition, tents, blankets
and hundreds of other ,detalls neces-
sary 'tor the equipment of the thous-
ande of Canadians now under arms hi
'Canada at Salisbury and at the front.
It does not, however, include the pay
of Canadian soldiers; which will eps
proximate an enormous amount. Some
idea of the expenditure entailed by
Canada's Military operations may be
gathered from the fact that the militia
apprapriation which will be asked for
next Session to cover expenditures
from (April 1, until. January of next
year, will approximate $100,000,000.
This estimate, while not official, is be -
lived to be correct. t
If he war lasts two years it ls
roughly !estimated, that it will coat the
Dominion .1 or military- preparations a-
lone -upwards of $240,000,000, At - the
conelusion, pensions based upon- the
new scheme which will be submitted
next, seeshin will approximate ten mil-
lions per year. It is estimated that
Great, Britain has already placed orders.
totalling at least twenty-five millions
.with Canadian firins for war supiiliee,
These 'include boots-- and shoes, shirts,
S w ea Lers, socks, woollen goods, sheep.
e -kin eciats, shovelsr picks, tents, poles,
etc.
In addition there have been hea.vir
orders tor chrapnel shells, and these
orders_ are expected to increase with
the chtpacity of Canadian firms to turn
themthut. itt is -expected, that. the out. -
put of the 'many manufacturing plants
which have coMmenced to make these
mhnitions of war will total 100,000 per
d(Ay int &short tiine, and it is the
expectation that it will ultimately be
increased to 1200,009.
The life of a horse on the battle-
fields is 'short, and it is expected that
the demand will be brisk for remount 1.
A recent large order has been placed
with Canadian tsaddlery firms for in-
fantry equipment, .while every firm in
Canada is busy turning out saddles
for the British, 'French and Russian
governments. Taventy-eight thousand
buteons for the British .army is a .fur-
ther order which will be (placed inethe
Dominion, t -
Orders toy the French government
Including saddles, etc., are believed to
approximate upward.s of four million
dollars, while the Russian government
orders have approximated that amount
at least.
In 'addition to these expenditures in
Canada by the Dominion and other
governments the provincial govern
me,nts have expended two and a half
million dollars in gifts a flour, fish,
horses, potatoes, cheese, oats and ev-
aporated Apples to the imperial au-
thoritee, evhile 080,000 has been ex-
pe„nded by certain of the governments
in .asseistance to the Belgians.
' While it is ,gratifying to note that
so 'Much of the money of Britain,
France and Russia, is being expended
in Canada for war supplies, we must
not forget that the day of reckoning
is goming, This money that is going
to pertain ttlanufa,cturers in. Canada

It will assiat materially in relieving

mation.? How well is it trained? When
will it be ready to cross the weter
and assist in driving back the Ger-
mans into their own country? These
are, questions on every Britain's lip at

swer:is ,are not so readily fotifid. Prob-
ably pot more than two of ,three war
officials can give an approximate idea

which is .being daily swelled by hun-
dreds of recruits. News -papers are tot-.
stantly quoting figuresiewhich vary
from 1900000 to 1,600,000 but whatever

is safe to say that this volunteer force
has been raised in a Manner little short
