Surely this Is the poorest possible compliment the men who have made so magnifi- cent a showing at the front Be- cause there was a bit of a fracas in Toronto last summer, in which some returned men took part, witn minor disturbances at other poinls, these .- hysterieal people seem .0 jump to the conclusion that troubles will be multiplied when 'Johnnie comes manrchi home." Now the fact is that the citizen who- offerad hig all in his country's cause during the war, is the very best kind of af gitizen that any country "ever had, 0 menace on his return. Let us try to view the matter frankly and clearly. In a host of four hundred thousand men there are sure to be quite a large number of bad actors. So large a Mock must have some black sheep, and even mre with a Southdown. tinge. But had these men never gone to war they would have 'been just as bad, and probably much worse. Such men will clamor for wages without work, and, when sweet opportunity offers, they will riot . ° and enjoy themselves immensely. But what we must remember is that the per- centage of the rough necks is small indeed. * The huge majority. of re- turned and returning men are thé very pick of our manhood, and as much concerned about law and or- der in Canada as are any others, probably more so, as they are young, and have i liveg still to live here. What. is far more likely than iu= creasdd disturbance when all are back is that the law-abiding will find themselves reinforced by thou. sands of sturdy fellows who know what discipline meéans, and who will be quick to suppress the lawless wherever they may . Show their heads. Note this, too. Secofes of' thousands have already returned. Have burnings and slaying and riot- ing become prevaleiat? They have not. Scarcely one of the appreheén- give ones but has some near rela- {tive already back---has the seturn- ed man alarmed him by his views and deportment? No: The alarm- ist is afraid about all the other fel- lows, but has a supreme comfidence, jand a well-founded one, in his own particular, Tom, Dick or Harry. Nor will the absorption of the two hundred and seventy-five thou- sand still to return he so difficult a task as many suppose. Thousands simply go back to the farms enlisl, as thousands have already done.
