The young people of the Presby- terian church had an interesting meeting on Monday night. The chief feature was a debate on“the compara- tive merits of aeroplanes and motorâ€" cycles in modern warfare. Misses Al ice Ramage and Margaret Grant up- held the aflirmative in favor of the aer0plane, while Miss Islay Campbell and Miss Agnes McGirr championed the motor vehicles. The question was well debated on both sides, but the decision was given in favor of the negative by a narrow margin. The judges were Miss Julia Weir, of the High School staff, Mr. Alex. Morton, L‘QOâ€" 7' v principal of the pfiblic school, and W. Irwin, of The Chronicle.

MARCH 8, [917 THOMAS STINSON OBIT CARY George McKechnie, no matter how abounding, means at the very utmost, a kind of bastard greatness, more contemptible than any other kind. The flag that com- mands the respect of other nations and inspires among its own followers the high passion of loyalty must float over a land where there is a well- distributed material well-being, but, what is even more important, where there have also been developed the stern and lofty virtues of resolute and adventurous valor, of trained prowess, of readiness for self-sacrifice, of power~to render service, and of de- termined and uunshakeable patriot- THE LESSON TAUfiflT BY CANADA No nation ever yet achieved great- ness through ease and absence of ef- fort; and although material prosper- ity is an absolute essential foundation, the lack of which renders hopeless any attempt to raise a worthy super- structure, yet by itself, and to the ex- clusion of all else, material prosperity These are the virtues which during the last two years and a half Canada has preeminently shown. She has passed through one of those times which try men’s souls, and which sift out the strong and the worthy from the weak and the unworthy. She has stood the test. She has proved her possession of those qualities that mark the people of masterful ability, able to shape their own destinies and to hold their own in the rough world of ' actual life. Her sister common- wealths of the British empire over- seasâ€"Austraila,* South Africa, New Zealandâ€"have shown a like farsight- edness and proud capacity for service ism for the common good, and have borne themselves with similar heroism. The action of the Boers in South Africa has been a most striking tribute to the farsighted wisdom and justice of the Imperial Government. But Canada ada is our neighbor on the north, and we are more familiar with what she has done; and as the conditions of her social, industrial and political life substantially resemble our own, her example is of peculiar value to us. ('l‘heodore Roosevelt, in the Metropol- itan Magazine.) (“anada has sent to the front about 250,000 men. She has 150,000 more in training. This means that she has enlisted, all told, about 400,000 men. The casualties up to date are well; over 50,000. Meanwhile Canada has. faced undauntedly the necessary tax- ation, and has voluntarily contributed! 40,000,000 dollars to relief funds. Let! our people understand what these fig-‘ ures mean by remembering that Can- ada has only about one-thirteenth of our population and one-thirtieth of our wealth. Her shores were not im- mediately menaced; the counsels of cold and timid selfishness, had they prevailed, would have bid her take a merely perfunctory part in the war, and rest in safety behind Britain’s control of the ocean. But Canada was too proud not to fight. She scorn- ed the ignoble role of shirking duty, and letting others protect her. Her ef- fort in men is relatively as great as if we had raised an army of over five million soldiersâ€"and her troops are as splendid fighting men as their Au- stralian and South Attrican brothers, or as any others among the war-hard- ened veterans who have fought on bOth sides in this terrible world war. Her money efior-t in the single item given above is equivalent to what this nation would have done if it had voluntarily contributed over a billion dollars in relief funds. Unfortunately the Canadians, like; ourselves, have not yet overcome the foolish dread of universal obligatory military training in times of peace and universal service in times of war, Hence they have not shown the ex- France. But there never has been finer work done under the old volunâ€" teer system than by Canada; and the way in which Canada and her sis- ter over-seas commonwealths have sprung to the defense of the Empire is something absolutely new in hiStory, and sets a mark in farsighted patri: otism and in highminded ability to sacrifice present ease and safety for a vast and permanent future good, Which will not soon be passed by any nation. The people who have stayed at home have devoted themselves to the welfare of the meti who have gone Something New in History Continued on page 2. -fâ€" WW5Â¥M+WM+M++++WWW t D E E t F E .3.
