Continued from page 2 supreme and common cause for freedom the world round and the generations through. That tether holds when self-interest gives way, when prudence yields. and even when the pledges of honor are but a scrap of paper. All the ties of common language and common blood and common his- ‘Itorv were involved in the rela- }tion of the American colonies to [the British Crown when Junker lautocracy was on the throne. But those ties did not hold. The King an? his Govex'nment in defiance of the appeals of the great common- ers and leaders of the people, did violence to the deep sense of 'mstice and freedom inherited by the colonies from the mother country, and the threefold cord of language, blood and historv snapped like a rope of sand. But to-dav a century and a half af. ter the alienation that led to re\- olution. and after the seeds of strife and misunderstanding have grown to their full harvest of suspicion and fear, the great heart of the American Republic beats again in unison with the heart of Britain. The sympathy of the United States, neutral though its Government may be, is with the allies. The typical American, north or south, east or west, again and again during recent months, and despite all that war would mean, has been like a bloodhound straining at the leash and eager for the fray. And ‘v’vhuy? “Why do you hear British war melodies in American theatres? Why, in holidaV time around the camp-fire, in the Maine woods, by the Jersey shore or among the Virginian hills where every man. is an American, perhaps boasting revolutionarv blood, mayyo-u hear night after night “My Country, ’Tis of Thee” and “God Save the King-3": No, it is not blood; English blood in American veins is thin and greatly mixed. It is not business: during the past decade the Amer- ican people deveIOped almost more communitv of interest in science and industry with the 'peo- ple of Germany than with the peOple of Britain. It is not even the English language,a although a common speech is a prime chan- u)! of exchange for common ideas. The reason goes deeper. The and all the effort of my life is with Britain, because I :ee all our American institutions of freedom and self-government assailed bv Germany and defended by Brit- ain.” An American college pro- fessor of German name and birth and education said to me only the other day: “If I knew of any process by which all that is Ger- ed from mv veins right gladly would I use that process, be- cause of Germany's treason to freedom and justice and human- itv during the past twelve months.” Freedom is the strongest tether of life. It is the steadiest impulse of the heart. It is the surest social bond: Freedom and lustice and 'truth! By that tether the free Dominions are held loyal to Brit- ain. By that magnet the men of Canada are drawn to the deadlv CANADA, ITS TETHER AND ITS TOLL “But the meal toll of War is heav- ier still It is a. debt that never ,can be paid It is a' loss that {never can have gain to match It $15 the waste of the nation’s blood, 'the uncompensated impoverish- ‘ment of the nation’s breed, the :death bet-ore their time of the na- tion’s choicest sons That is war’s frightfiulest toll.

What biology warns history af- firms. For the moment some na- tion may seem to have escaped, but in the long run the law has its way: .like seed like harvest, like father like son, the nation that sacrifices its men of fitness .and courage who go to the war, and breeds its next generation from weaklings and cowards who are left behind, will tend to weak- ness and cowardice in its national life. There are checks and balances and correcting factorsz but, be not deceived, biology is not mocked; whatsoever a nation sowet‘h that shall it also reap. -. Let history answer. What heâ€" came of “the glory that was Greece”? What beiel the imperium that was Rome? [What destroyed the Empire that was France? It (was the law of life. Heroes and patriots bred heroes and patriots. Cowards and weaklings bred cowards and weaklings. When the 'fit were slain and the unfit sur- vived, the race degenerated and .the empire fell.
