3 es t Mah ¢ m a _ To carry on the war more «. «effectively it is necessary to â€" have the proper man power of Canada tabulated. id _ _ . What can we do to help win the war? This is the question that thousands of Canadian men and “{ women have been asking themselves. The answer is supplied by the National Service} Commission Evb_-‘ â€" with its invitatoin to the men of Canada to enrole themselves by voluntary registration. The cards that \ are sent out to every man between the ages of sixteen and sixtyâ€"five will furnish the information that 38 fhe Commussion needs in order to turn to account in the best waNthe resources of the country. _ Canada needs the services of every man to carry on her agricultural, mineral and manufacturing inâ€" _ dustries, as well as to fi.ght her battles in France and Flanders. No one is superflfious, and therefore flo one is exempt from the duty of enrolment. With a compllete inventory of the man power of the E§‘ Dominion in their hands, it will be a comparatively easy task for the Commission to point out where â€" available workers may be sought to supply deficiencies elsewhere in agricultural and other basic inâ€" dustries, and the process of adjustment will be speedy and effective. Without an inventory, such adâ€" justment will be slow and imperfect. The lesson of the last two years of war will have been lost if we do not respond promptly and unanimously to the appeal. Germany and her subject nations are [ united and organized, and they can only be defeated by union and organization as complete and more ‘â€" powerful than their own. Canada has sent her fighting men to beat back the enemy in France and { ;'Flanders', but she has a great army of workers at home whose exertions are need no less to help win the war. In these days, idleness is a crime, but misplaced or inappropriate labor is hardly less an ofâ€" _ fence against the cause for which our country is fig hting. We are.asked to enrol ourselves for national service. The man who refuses or neglects to do so enrols himself among the enemies of his country. The issue is plain. Are we for our country or agamst it in this tremendous struggle? Let our registraâ€" _ tion cards answer the question. : each question asked to the best of his ability. Also to do it at onee and return them immediately to the post office. _ Knowing your desire to do all you can to hasten the end of this great strife and your willingness to fulfil this request. 7As mayor of Weston I apâ€" peal to every man to answer Degr sirs: In accordance with the government orders the registration cards have been delivered from the post offjze to every man. \ January 4th, 1917.

Every male person in Canada between the ages of 16 and 65 are asked by the National Service Board to give the information required. The movement to secure correctsinformation regardâ€" ing the man power of the Dominion meets with general approval in the Englishâ€"speaking pmBevinces at least. Principal Falconer of Toronto Univerâ€" sity says: ‘"National Registration is a sensible undertaking at such a time as this. It is a patriotic undertaking. It is the kind of undertfiking that an intelligent people like the Canadians will surely be ready to carry into efâ€" fect at the earliest possible moment." In these words Mr. Arthur Van Koughnet, a well known . patriotic worker of Toronto, summed up . the National Service Campaign. ‘"‘The keynote is to send back the informaâ€" tion to the government and that should be the duty of every citizen, not only for the purpose of utilizing the man resources, but the materials of the country, and at the same time carrying on the industriés of the cofi‘ntry,” he added. There should be a clear understandâ€" ing as to the purpose of the call for information and the objects which it is hoped to obtain, says The Toronto News. In some circles there is hesiâ€" tation in filling out the cards and the excuse is made that no penalty is provided for failure to do so. The situation, in this regard, requires some explanation. It is OBLIGAâ€" TORY to give the information called for. This is stated plainly on the face of the cards and those who fail to comply lay themselves open to any penalty which may later be provided. The National Service registration inâ€" volves a legal as well as a moral obliâ€" gation, but the nature of the penalty Some should work. Some should pay. But ALL should SERVE Some should fight. STRATION WEEKâ€" | IN YOUR GARV ? already forwarded their cards to Otâ€" YOURS? tawa. This is the good showing that is looked for. HAVE YOU SENT is a referendum to indicate public opinion, as well as a scheme of regisâ€" tratit;n for the more effective proseâ€" cution of the war. In deciding upon the penalty for refusal to fill in the cards, the government will be guided by the response. But aside from the legal obligation, the moral obligation to supply the information required by the government cannot be evaded by Canadian manhood. National Service is not some dark scheme contemplatâ€" ing military conscription. ‘Sir Robert Borden has definitely stated that conâ€" scription would only be adopted as a final resort, in order to save the liberâ€" ties of Canada, the Empire and the world. Perhaps, after all, the most important results of the National Serâ€" vice effort will be secured by the conscious self appraisement which is involved in the filling in of the cards. Every man between 16 and 65 will be brought definitely to consider whethâ€" er he is doing his full duty. The questions are such that they must bring home individual responsibility for. the successful prosecution of the war. When men sit in judgment upon themselvesâ€"and so far as miliâ€" tary conscription is concerned, nothâ€" ing more is now proposedâ€"there is good cause for hope that they will see more clearly the path of duty. the indications poir’lt to a very generâ€" al response on the part of the people â€"it would be surprising if it were not so. â€" Cards should all go forward this week.
