The object of the Act is to reinforce our men at the front while keeping in Canada those whose presence here is required in order that necessary business may be carried on as well as those whose going overseas would lay a heavy burden on the country through the needs of de- pendent!. No heavy tax on the manpoirer of the country will be m.ide. The .\ct calls for but 100,000 men, ami autnonlios esti- mate that there are in the country 400,- 000 men of the first class alone, unmarried men and widowers without children, between the ages of 20 and Ii4. This class may well supply iiio.st of thjse needed. Men in the lirst class called will be withdrawn for milit.iry service only they are required by the niilitiry situa- tion. The process will be ;;radual, thus leaving a portion of the men to follow their regular vocations until such tune an they are required. j The cost of the war niu.st liu reduced tu a minimum by the system which sends out of the country only those who can best be spared, fran the standpoint of the nation as a whole. General pros- perity must; also be encouraged by tlie safeguarding of essential iudusti ies and the retention at their work of men whom the highest interests of the country recpjlre at home.

What answer will Canada make.^ What answer will you make? Shall it be said that Canada spares not her sons from the sacri- fice of battle, yet withholds her dollars to give them victory? Rather will it be said that Can- ada once more, for the fourth time in three years, cheerfully puts up her millions upon millions for the cause of freedom, right- eousness and justice. Canada's answer must be, â€" that the Canadian hand to the plow of Victory holds stead- fast and finn. â€" that Canada is in deadly earnest when she says the "last man and the last dollar." That is the answer Canada will give to our boys iu the trenches, our kinsmen in Britian, and our Allies everywhere. That is the answer we will give to the Huns who tliought and said that Canada would desert the Empire before .rhe would light or pay. Every bond you buy is an answer. Let the millions of an- swers from Canada's loyal men and women make a chorus of Victory to ling around the world.
