In graphic and dra- matic words the veteran statesman told of the German atrocities in Bel- gium and France. When he de- scribed the scene in Lille, when men and women were torn from thelr homes and sent into German slavery "a slavery indescribable for the un. fortunate women," there were cries of "Shame!" and women werg weep- ing. "This," exclaimed Sir Wilfrid "is the foe Canada is called upon to fight." "My compatriots," ap- pealed the Liberal lealler, "'remem- ber the first hours of this war. Everyone in this city was asking with anxiety if Great Britain would France. 'What would England do?' was the question on every lip. And if Britain had stood aside a general sentiment of regret and blame would have been current throughout our country, and especially throughout French Canada." Sir Wilfrid paused, then, coming to the front of the platform, he rafs- ed both hands, 'appealingly, "My compatriots, men and women," he cried, 'the war is still going on. France is still under the heel of Ger- many. Britain is still heroleally fighting, and fighting the foe on the soil of old France. What will we French-Canadians do? 1 come to speak to you frankly, with the same honesty as ever. I never deceived you, and I have confidence in my compatriots. With pleasure or pain I always spoke the language of the truth. I shall do the same to-day. "I'believe that our first and press- ing duty is to share in the fight. 1 believe that it is our {mmediaiv duty to help our armies who have covered themselves with glory. We must support them with men. Wo must feed them. We must serve, I stand for voluntary service, but I repeat with all earnestness, I stand for service." 0:01 Mar "1 know not, sald Sir Wilfrid, ¢ "whether Providence will pérmit me to see my position justified, but I do not despair. We must always re- main firm in the cause we believe to be right, not spoiled by victory Or cast down: by defeat. "If defeat is to be my portion I will go on undismayed the day af- ter to follow my ideals and my con- victions, to continue tor do what 1 believe to be right. That is my course, Let it be your course, my compatriots. Time Is with us. Time is ever with the right. We have a _ check, but right and truth will pre- vail in the end." NEW SCHEDULE ON BEANS.
