But though the volunteer system preceded preceded the draft, and has sown these seeds of demoralization to -some extent, extent, yet it is largely a matter of fancy and pride. There is no real foundation to it, for ample reason may, and in most cases do exist to account account for failure to volunteer. Washington, Jefferson and Lincoln each advised the draft system, hence it cannot be said to be unrAmerican, as it surely is not un-British Nearly For Them I Did It. In France last year I went along the French front, said Premier Llody George in a recent speech, and I met one of the finest generals'" in the French Army--General Gouraud --and he said: "One of my soldiers a few days'ago did one of the most gallant arid daring things any soldier ever did. He was reckless, but he managed to come back alive, and someone said to him, "Why did you do that? You 1 have got for children, and you might* have left it to one of the young fellows fellows in the Army. Whât would have happened to your children?" And his answer was: "It was for them I did it."

We must make a thorough job of wound until the malignant root has been removed. The world's investment investment in this undertaking is too great and too precious to be sacrificed for a compromise. Whât we do^ now, if done thoroughly, will stand for centuries centuries to come--perhaps forever. Let us then get the full value of the price we are paying, and forever end Prussian Prussian influences, which, if not wiped out now, are liable to be a thorn in the political side of all nations as long as they endure. BATTLE SCARRED VETERANS. They have not fought and suffered it and not be lured away to heal the to preserve it as St was, but to save the possibility of making it something bigger and finer. They* will be ready to scrap a lot of the bungling, cumbersome cumbersome machinery on which we hâve prided ourselves. They will demand action. At the front they have known discipline, order, order, regulations--but only as part of a resulting system. Here at home we have discipline, regulations, routine as part of a result-delaying or resultavoiding resultavoiding system. Naturally they will have no use for that. They will come back with the great ideas of duty, service, sacrifice and comradeship. __ It was a happy thought, and very These are the ideas that are going j opportune, when Canada resolved to to work with something like révolu- f nd to th « country a detachment tionary force.

They are going going to demand that the service and. sacrifice which governed them at the front shall find a more general recognition recognition at home. Comradeship at the front is based on common service, common loyalty. For the men who fight side by side there is no sacrifice too great, there is no treasure too precious to be shared. shared. We shall have more of that spirit in our citizen life<when our citizen soldiers soldiers return to it.

But there is excellent reason to believe believe that the change from Mohammè- dan to nominally Christian ownership would greatly improve the chance of Israel to regain its lost inheritance. There could be no better disposition disposition of this little strip of country that forms the natural meeting place of three great continents. Moreover, on the principles set forth by President Wilson it may be argued convincingly that the U.

The war has already brought to the cause of Zionism, and indeed to the cause of the Jewish race generally, a great blessing in the overthrow of the The Forty-eighth Highlanders were among the first Canadian troops to reach the front, and with the Princess Pats they share the glory of having helped to hold the British line when it was confessedly weak and tragically tragically lacking in guns and munitions.
