of war for civilization and international: righteousnous, the: ‘people
of the Empire gave an impressive demonstration: of their determin-

~ ation to eontinue ‘the great conflict to a triumphant. conclusion. In
practically every community throughout the vast territories which
“boast: the - “protection of the Union Jack, the day was fittingly
observed and expression given to the unwavering confidence of the
‘British people in the triumph of right. Our despatches tell us that.
even in India, with its many sects aid castes, observance. of the.
day was general, services being held in churches, temples” and
‘Mosques in every part of the land, and’ all sections. of the ° people
