Tennyson for the Utica Women's Intitute. This great European war is chang- ing the whole face, and front, and outlook of what men used to call civ- ilization. Even if it stops next week, or next year, the war will have wrought such havoc that in 1918 no continent will be as it was in 1913.0 nation as it hoped to be. The past three years have been = working changes in the world of men, vaster, more startling, more revolutionary, than are recorded in any five centuries of human history. But there are some things that war as war. 1s not doing, and never can do. For one thing--war in itself, and as war, never can bring peace on earth and good will to men. In spirit, in motive, and in purpose peice and-war are as radi- cally different and as widely separ- ated as heaven and hell. It is the very nature of the one to frustrate and destroy the'work of the other. In every great event of history, marked off and distinguished from what went before and from what fol- lowed after, the realities were not at all the bloody or bulky things that loomed so big to the near sighted writer of the annals. Big things, mere things, shrink and. dwindle in the perspective of the long reach and critical gaze of history. What endures 1s the spirit, not the letter; what per- sists is the motive, act. What tells in the end and gives historic value and moral quality to the deed is the inward and compelling: | can cut across. purpose of its doing. Weare in this war---Britain,Canada and the othér dominions -- because there is no hope for the world until {oes the great-enemy of peace is complete- ly overcome~--that notin our days nor for generattons to come will Prussian- ism challenge the liberties and the security of other uations. We are in this war to end war, to lay the found- ations of. peace. As Lloyd George says: "There must be no NEXT TIME. Far better, in spite of all it costs you, of all the sorrow and trag- edy of it, to let us have. done with it. Do not let us repeat this horror. Let us be the generation that; 'manfully, courageously,and resolutely eliminated war from among the tragedies of hu- man life. Let us make victory so complete that national liberty whether for large or small nations; can never be challenged. This is essential. The little nation must be as well guarded and' protected as the big nation." This is the 'new charter of liberty which is beng written in indelible characters, with the blood and tears a|and anguish of the nations at war. . The greatest essential to 'winning the war is Sacrifice--giving up those who are near and dear to us for our cotintry's sake, concentrating time and money to help win the war. This is not the time for fine embroidery, and in some way, direct or indirect, be of practical assistance in helping to win laborers will not work without it. Germany's strength has been mn preparedness and centralization. She- was ready for war from every point of view, and has proved herself to be an enemy dead to the dictates of human. ity, an enemy that cannot be held ina check by diplomatic correspondence: or the most binding treaties. The: nation that dnvented liquid fire and gas as war weapons canbot be trusted by any premature peace to respect the - rights of nations, or to hold sacred .. the laws of humanity. In fighting Germany, the people of of the United States are taking part im the same great struggle for world free- dom. They are defending their: shore from an enemy that made war on women and children, that sunk the Lusitania. and outraged the traditions of the sea by acts of piracy that bes trayed the barbarian" beneath the skin of the Teuton, The contribution which the United States is making in this war 1s tre- mendous. Take one item only--her expenditure of six hundred and forty million dollars for airships = Hex financial resources are practically un- limited; and those resources will be mych needed, for such is the centrali- zation and control which Germany has over her resources, that she has as yet resisted the attacks of a hostile world. Within the armed circle of the boundaries of Germany and Austria, military rule is supreme. The word not the external | suchygpueriving - Our work should |' of command is given in Berlin, apd in a few hours a huge army may be transported to any part of the circle. The drive that can be launched in a few hours by the Germans can only be mét by days of difficult transporta- tion on the part of the Allies, for they must go around where the Germans We can only hope to conquer am enemy so well entrenched by wearing them down--a slow and painful pro- But we are doing it. To be in this war is to inherit the liberties that- victory will bring in her train. No man'or nation may stand aloof from this' fight for imperilled freedom, who boasts of liberty. The fight must go on until Germany adds the word "restoration" to any peace proposals which she makes. The nation that turns back and fal- ters before it reaches its purpose never becomes a great -nation. All that. Canada and the United -States hold dear--the homes and liberties of the people, wealth and comfort they enjoy --all rest on our power of . endurapce in our fight with Germany. Only bw patient endurance; suffering and sac- rifice can the foundations of our libex-- ty be maintained. Like the air we breathe, liberty is so much a part of our being that the possibility of losing it is net regarded: seriously. Yet our cities and towns, Four rich harvest fields and our indus- tries, our frcedom and the rights we: enjoy would pass io a night were Ger- - many to break through the line held: by the soldiers and sailors of the- "Allied nations in Western Europe. The war must go on to its decisive end. For Canada there 'is but one course--but one clear call--to defend. the foundations of liberty where they" are most in danger, for -- "There's hay to save and corn to» cut, but harder work by far _ Awaits the soldier boys who reap . the harvest: fields of war."
