It is peculiar to the free dterminatioa of Democratic peoples that much of this war effort remains on a voluntary basis. In some degree this voluntary system creates a handicap, for while many loyally-disposed citizens sup- port every worthy cause to the limit of their ability, there are, unfortun- ately, many who are selfishly dis- posed, or through failure to apprec- iate the serious import of the cir- cumstances, do not contribute as they might reasonably be expected to. We are inclined to believe, how- ever, that few appeals are made to the general public which meet with such a spontaneous response as does the appeal for funds to assist the victims of the barbaric warfare, which has been visited on our friends in the British Isles. The distress and suffering, so widespread in many of the cities in England, strikes a re- sponseive chord in the hearts of most kindly and Christian peoples. When- ever an appeal has been made for contributions to this particular Fund, I the public has responded for the | most part, generously; and it bs to I be hoped that the response of the. I people of Artemesia and vicinity will J not suffer in comparison to other communities, which have sponsored a similar drive for funds. In a world where many countries are exposed to all the horrors af war. we still enjoy the security of peaceful living. Blasted homes. Death, Suffering, Hunger, and per- sonal exposure to danger has not been our lot as vet. In the British Isles, where the civilian population are in the front line to-day, few places have escaped these exper- iences, and it is indeed a callous and selfish nature that can turn a deaf ea r to the misfortunes of our blood relations in the Old Land. From the plenty with which Nature has en- dowed us, let us give in a manner becoming of Christian {people, for who can be so bold as to assure us immunity from like experiences be- fore this war is concluded. It is equally essential to our war effort to maintain the morale of the civilian' population of the British Isles as to supply and equip our active combat- ants, since, if the spirit of the civil- ians were broken, that hopelessness would quickly spread to the fighting forces. Nothing would break the spirit of the British people quicker than to suspect that their more for- tunately placed kinsmen in Canada and elsewhere, were selfishly indiff- erent to their present misfortunes It is up to us to prove by generous action on our part, that we are not unmindful of the fact that they are Searing by far the greater burden, and that our hands are extended to them across the water in sympathy, as our hearts are stirred by their display ^ indomitable courage in the face of the cruelwt kind of mis- fortune. We lend our fullest approval and support to the canvass for British War Victims' Funds and we join with the active canvassers in appealing to the public to give generously, and to show by their support that, while oui voluntary system of helping war ef- forts may be somewhat slow in prin- ciple, that in the long run it is Dually as effective as the compul- sory methods employed by the coun- tries opposed to us.
