be reâ€"estaplished for some twenty naâ€" tions. We may get a faint perception why we cannot.set the clock, back to August 4th, 1914. . And wouldn‘t . it be: a sorry reward for those whose homes have been devastated, whose lives have been shattered beyond reâ€" pair if we could. Do we realize that Canada has paid for her share in‘ this greatest struggle for liberty, 55,000 of her bravest and her best; that some 200,000 more are going to need our tenderest and wisest care and women by @sympathy to help them back to civil life again. So it looks as if we women must set all of our thoughts and efforts true to the highest patriâ€" otic ideals if we are to preserve to posterity this priceless hercitage of liberty for which this generation has paid so dear. The lonely altars of sacrifice in how many homes call to us to show them some tangible good for all that they have given. It reâ€" mains to us to show them that their great sacrifice has been a‘loan to their country of which posterity will draw theâ€" dividend, not a useless, needâ€" less robbery! s Events seem to indicate in England that the old order of things will nevâ€". er be reâ€"established, that old methods will never Q.gain apply. _ England is fast breaking up a caste system, is reâ€" organizing and revitalizing her naâ€" tional life. We know that a. great wave of democracy has swept over the whole world and that it should evenâ€" tually find its high tide upon this conâ€" tinent right here in Canada. The"extent and future character of emocratic government is very likely be determined . by the lines of inking evoked by our peopleâ€"all nglish speaking people as the result of this war.. The men who return are going to démand as a reward a largâ€" er share in the governmentâ€"the reâ€" ward of a changed empire. Democâ€" iracy is the vital need of the world toâ€" _day, but a disciplined democracy. All organized progressive democracy evâ€" \erywhere shall fill the complex condiâ€" tions of modern life, socially and inâ€" dustrially. Here is a task to chalâ€" lenge all of our women‘s tact, all of our sympathy and intuition to bring about a harmony and conformity to these changed conditions. It is a task« to challenge our highest service. fFor this purpose we must not, like war babies, disband our chapters pnow the war emergency is over. We ‘imust keep our Order intact; we must feach our members to think in terms of democracy; the Order must be to us, a training school for the larger trend of public life, for we are gomg And now in these wonderful autumn days we are celebrated peace, but let us remember if it is to be a lasting peace it must be to us peace,.not rest. Perhaps away back in our minds we have been promising ourselves a rest "after the war." The phrase seems to carry with it a promise of relaxaâ€" tion, but as chaplains and as individâ€" nals there must be no dropping away ‘"‘Never doubted clouds would break, Never dreamed, ~tho‘ right were , worsted, Wrong could triumph; held, we fall to $ rise, & Are baffled to fight better. »a .group of, women wh? are busy with aécual work.. I feel that no creatures on the facie, of the earth have ‘been so/patient under the lash of the huâ€" man vogues as women since the war _work pe,gan. I suppose there is no help for this because the outlook and scope of women is so varied and their activities so diffuse, so that toâ€"day in my talk with you if Iâ€"seem to imiâ€" tate the "Walrus" in that â€" famous chat with Alice in Wonderland and range all the way from ‘"cabbages to kings," you must just forgive,. me and let us rejoice that in Canada we still may talk of "kings" with a due appreciation of the fact that in many parts of Europe toâ€"day "kings‘"‘ are a most painful subject and the, people would much rather ~discuss "cabâ€" bagesfi"f But in the British Empire this greatest democracy the world has ever known, where,the kings reign but the people rule over our King George. ~God bless him! Stands high-’ er in the love and the, hearts of the millions.of diverse races, creeds and nationalities of which that Empire is composed, than‘ eyer before, and while crowns and‘ thrones are 'top- pling, the mona,rchic’al ideal of govâ€" ernment is more secure in the British Empire toâ€"day than before the war. It is a very great pleasure for me to adâ€" dress gatherings of â€"this kind,’ since the atmosphere is so changed.. For 4 years I have been addressing chapâ€" ters when the sacriffces were, so new, so soul searching that they voted very fibreâ€"Canadian womanhood. Thank God that in the very darkest hours we never lost confidence in the ultimate issué; that we were able to match our men in that high spirit of. steadâ€" fast courage which has so often carâ€" ried them to victory that (Has made them world famous, the conquerors of. trained troops, which were held to be unbeatable.

Ladies, I always feel like apologizâ€" ing when I come mérely to talk to (Continued next week) MIMICO Did you ever hear anyting so offel? I didn‘t tink anybody vould say such an offel ting. It made me so mad I vouldn‘t stand and hear such a offel ting, so I turned round and run mit der odder boys.. Vas I right? Vat? Yes. Vat? right toward us. Some of dem was singing about "Ve von‘t come back till it‘s over, over der," or some odder foolish song, and some of dem were laffing like fools. Dey are so ignorâ€" ant. But dey are offel reckless mit der guns, and ven dey come toward us it vas dat my men took a notion dey vanted to go back to der dear old Rhine. Ve don‘t like der little old dirty Marne river anyhow. And, oh Pop, déem Americans use such offel language. Dey know nothâ€" ing of gultur, and say such offel dings right before us. And dey talk blasâ€" phemy too. Vot do you tink dey said right in front of my face? One big husky from a place dey call Cincinâ€" nati, he saidâ€"but I can‘t help it; he saidâ€"*"‘To hell mit der Kaiser." And, oh, papa, you know dem breastplates vot you sent us, can you send us some to put on our backs? You know ve are going de odder vay now and breastplates are no good, for de cowardly Americans are shooting us right in der back. Some of our boys took off der breasfi)‘}ates and put ‘em behind, but de fool A‘mericans are playing ‘"De Star Spangled Banner‘ mit machine guns on‘ dem plates. Can‘t you help us? Â¥ou remember in your speech you said notting cO\Ild stand before de brave German soldiers? Oh, papa, I don‘t believe dese ignorant Americans ever read your speech, for dey run after us chust like ve vas a lot of rabbits. Vot you dink of dot? Can‘t you send dem some of your_speeches right avay? Dey don‘t know how terâ€" rible ve are. Â¥ The following is a copy of the noâ€" tice issued from headquarters previâ€" ous to his return. a Sergt.
