part in the war on friday the 6th the schools all over the united states paid their tribute the day following was the turn or the nation and on sunday the churches throughout the nation held special services to do honor to the part great britain has played in the war the celebrations are all the more remarkable in that they were arrang ed spontaneously without any hint from london or washington the organlsattdns under whose auspices they were held are the sulgrave in stitution the american defence so- clty the national security league and the national committee of patriotic societies the

arous ed unpleasant memories in a country less royalhearted those three days in december must give profound sdtaf action to what was only a short time ago h very small if distinguished company of american citliens who have worked so unselfishly to promote greater cordiality and better under standing between the englishspeak ing peoples they had to oppono powerful political influences such as that cqntrolled by the elngllsh- hatlng hearst newspapers it was not so long ago since a politician lit almost any state in the union could get a hand for a vigorous twist ol the lions tall this unfortunate and unreasonable antlbrltlsh sentiment was fostered by the school books in tfhe united stales whoh were al most invarlawyurifalc-to- greacjlili sin and taught the children of the sbpublle that the war of indepen- ence was an almost uninterrupted series of american triumphs against a cowardly and ruffianly engllbli army the schools are now being purged of these perverters of his tory and antibritish sentiment has almost wholly disappeared it has been said time and again that one of the great and lasting benefits of this war has been the drawing together of the two- nations and there is every reason to bellovn that tbe new relation ls a permanent one canada in a sense has been it link between tbe empire as a whale and the united state for even ui it time tthfnj m effort af croat bri tain wr nut appreciated by our cousins their newspapers rang with the praise of canadians roops then loo the devotion of the peoplo of ail the dominions and colonies imwit have been an eyeopener to those amerlcans who did not understand the ties of affection uniting the scat tered parts of the empire the won derful loyalty of the american peo ple to the common eausu onee war was declared has also been a lesson and an inspiration to us in canada and to the empire at large the war has taught us torespeot each other to an wrtent that perhaps a century of peace could not- have
