Dr. Jamieson’s explanation was clear, and the strong emphasis he places on the necessity for men, more men, money and more money, had a telling effect upon the audience. Men and money were a necessity to carry on the great struggle to a successful issue. Men were needed now, not necessarily to go immediately to the front, but to prepare for ac- tion if the call should come. Man; now enlisting might never see ser- vice, but men were needed to fill the gaps caused by those who fall in action. They were needed as reserves and the mere know- ledge by the enemy of a large reserve to draw from would m- spire our own boys and act as a deterrent to those who fought against them. The last hundred thousand men and the last hund- red million dollars would be win- ning factors in the conflict. What After Safety? Everybody from Dan to Beersheha is now thoroughly convinced that “safety first" is the proper thing. It may not always be possible to agree upon whose safety it shall be, but considered wholly in the abstract anybody caught putting anything ahead of safety in these' enlightened days of peace and good will would have to dodge anath- ema the rest of his life. On the Safe Side. McTavish and a brither Scot, Mc- Pherson, entered-the tram and took their seats near the door. Sitting up in the corner wasu nice young Hiclan’ lassie. and McTavish was always nudg- ing his friend. ‘ Hoots. man,” said McPherson, “I ken her fine. ” Indeed, so amicably and universally settled is this problem or “safety first” that many are wondering if we shouldn’t now stop talking about it and commence to consider what shall come after safety.
