Russell Forster -- To Many Have Not Given The Ques. tion Very Serious Consideration, 'By J. Russell Forster, J The néed of men is being constant- ly placed before our people by the rocruiting officers and the various patriotic speakers leagues, and while Succegs is reported in most centres Uiere are doubtles many eligible for service overseas who have not yet given the matter their very serious consideration, cr recognized the ad- visability of taking advantage of the Present splendid opportunity for mi- itary training that would fix them to defend our possessions, It is to these young single men _ 8nd parents that this appeal is ad- dressed. There is no doubt that as Canadian citizens and British sub- Jects it is our duty to answer the call of our country in time of war. Loy- Wlty occuples a large place in the hearts of alt British subjects of Brit- ish parentage. It was a fixed prin- €iple in the hearts of our earliest settlers and the guide of all their actions. The United Empire Loyalists in fidelity to this principle left their homes of comparative opulence to face the regions or tire wilderness here, Here indeed is a lesson in fidel. ity to principle and fortitude in ad- versity. No harvest moon her smil- ing night kept; no village nestled on these desolate + hills; no pastures green, nor waving Crops, as now, stretched to the setting sun and awake hosannas unto nature's God Belgium was enjoying peace and prosperity "when the cziminal Huns despoiled her with fire and sword; but may we not say, with feelings of profound thankfulness, that the boundary of Canada has been worked out by the finger-of God, a land for glanty to. dwell in? Under the benficient guardianship of Britatnw we have pursued our way unmolested for a century and ou; fathers' with prophetic vision and faith in the high destiny of our coun- try and our race laid hete the found ation of a nation as enduring as those of the Laurentian Hills and the Rock ies whose passes they pierced. The axe of the loyalist has long since carroded with the clay that wielded it, but will any one say his spirit does not live? Shalj we say O' Can ada, my beloved country, soil ade sacred by the ashes of those sleep !| and cry aloud that ashes resuscitate and seize again he sword to maintain the principles by which they lived and for vhica tney died? No! but hearing, 'he clarion- call the tocsing alarm tv an inborn sense of responsible citizenship we will answer in the spirit of our ances. ters who heard it in Albron's Hills Edmund Burke, that illustrious ritish statesman, contemporary of ur own loyalists, in writing his "Re- actions' upon the political and so- cial changes of his day said "that with the passing of the age of chival- Ty the glory of civilization departed forever and that it has been succeed- ed by an age of sophists, economists wand calculators; that never, never more shall we behold that generous loyalty to rank 'and sex, that digni- fied obedience, that subordination of the heart that kept alive even in the age of servitude itsell the spirit of an exalted freedom; the unbought &race of life, the cheap defence of nations, the nurse of manly senti- ment and heroic enterprise is: gone. It is gone too that sensibility of principle, that chastity of honour which felt a stain like a wound, - which inspired courage, a wound, which inspired courage, whilst it mitigatéd ferocity, which ennébled whatever it touched and under which vice lost half its evil by losing all its grossness." This pro- pheey has been in large measure ful filed in Germany but Heaven forbid that it should ever be applied * to Canada. The issue of this war is liberty and righteousness versus tyr anny, and Canada has a vital inter- . est in the outcome. If the Allies fail, we shall see the triumph of "militarism," German domination und 'the subversion of Anglo-Saxon civilization, awhich is the highest the 'world has ever seen While we lear frequent mention of British 1ib- erty does the popular mind fully ap- preciate the meaning of this? Free- dom of conscience, fréedom lo work out individual destiny and to attain the maximum of happiness consist ent with marility and the responsi- bilities of citizanship: that is the spirit of British law which makes iiberty commensurate with, and in- seperable from, British rule; which proclaims even to the stranger and the sajourner the moment he sets his foot, upon British earth that the ground upon which he stands is holy and consecrated by the genius of universal freedom; no matter * in what Adnguage his doom may have been pronounced; no matter what complexion incampateable with freedom an Indian an African or an American sun may have burned upon him; no matter in what disas trous battle Ris liberty mav have been cloven down, or if his creed he Protestant, Roman Catholic, Hindu or Mahometan, the moment he touches British earth his soul! walks - abroad in her own majesty, his body swells beyond the measure of the . chains which burst from round him, and he stands redeemed, regenerat. | ed and disenthralled by the irresist- able genius of universal freedom. If this be worthy of Canada, is Can- ada'worthy of this? 0) Germany calls upon the god of the Fatherland and we bear their inve- who these . | 0 Model 75, Roadster $825- f. 0. b. Toronto ~ Never Before Such An Instantaneous d Sensational Success From every Province in the Dominion and every State in : the Union we hear of the amazing success of the * latest Overland-- the $850 model. At the New York and Chicago Automobile Shows where all the season's models wefe brought together-- the new model Overland was the most widely discussed car exhibited. And why not? An electrically started and electrically lighted completely equipped Overland with four-inch tires for only $850! Is there any wonder this car took the whole continent by storm? . Season -after season for seven years we have experienced one great success after another. But this one tops 'them all. No other achievement in the history of the entire industry parallels this record. It stands out alone--boldly--conspicuously--unapproached. Never, before has an automobile success been so rapid, so definite and so sweeping. The $850 Overland has made history. It marks the entrance of a new automobile value--a car complete in every sense of the term at a price which was hitherto thought impossible. Yet here it is--a powerful five-passenger touring car com- plete for only $850. Note that word "complete.", This means electric starter and electric lights, electric horn, magnetic speedometer--in fact, every necessary item. Nothing is lacking. There are no "extras' to buy. OVERLAND SALES ROOMS, : 22 and Note that the motor is the very latest en bloc design'-- the last word in fine engineering. In addition note that the tires are four-inch size." This is another big advantage. Many cars costing more have gmaller tires. Note that the rear springs are the famous cantilever type. Another advantage. Cantilever springs mean the utmost in'riding comfort. Note the headlight dimmers--the electric control buttons on steering column--demountable rimsand one-man top. These are all big advantages. This newest Overland is light in weight, easy to handle and very economical to operate. It's just the car the world has;been waiting for. It is large enough for thé whole family--moderately priced, . within the reach of the majority---economical to maintain--built of the best quality materials-- snappy, stylish and speedy--and complete in every sense. In short, it is just another striking example of how our larger production enables us to build a bigger and better car and still keep the price within reason, You'll want one, so order it now.
