Frankly, at this writing, there are some who have notmcaught the spirit of sacrifice and contril:•' t'on in the same manner. It can only he pointed out, that ,for every soldier who dies for Empire defence. another will take his place; for every bomb cropped in London, two will wing their way to Berlin. We will fight on —we must fight on—but we roust also realize that complacency is a :thing of the past.
