. - WHAT THIS WAR
_ . MEANS TO CANADA

_ But the war is here, and Can-
adians are going. And why?
-: The mother of us ali is. in need.
“Of'that reason, says the Halifax
Chronicle, we ave not ashamed,
“But that man searches the hearts
and minds of Canadians but super-

' ficially who finds in the marching.

of our men but the response of
_ thebroodtothe tribal call. Slow-

ly. but surely, it. is being borne
in upon-the minds of the thought-
ful people of Canada that this is
no mere European war, no-.mere
‘accidental failure of an insincere
diplomacy, no mere brutal
struggle of the engaged nations |,
for acommon coveted prize. ‘The
enemy now held back behind that
swaying line of French and British
bayonets will struggle valiantly,
desperately, frantically to break
through, But to-what?: To Paris!

to Loncon! For national preatigel .

For cold'cash! For Empire!

We thave|:

ing to realize that this is a Can-

adian war. It is no Européan
family quarrel, The old worn-

out imperialism which was ever
the enemy of the independence
and self-respect cf small nations
and little peoples, is again ram-
pant, The German aggression ig
in direct defiance of that inter-
national righteousness, by virtue

rights and liberties as a people.
Let that defiance once become
triumphant, and the war we now
wage for a principle, we shall
chen be forced to wage, and des-
perately, for existence. |
