NADA,S IAFPERIALISTIC SPIRIT A GROWTH OF
 FIFTEEN YEARS

I l U 4 2 5-z
 Canada's inperialistic spirit and military fervor. so much in evidence in this crisis in the affairs of the mother country. has been Of comparatiyely re- cent growth As matter of fact. it may be. said to have commenced jusS fifteen years ago, when all Canada was fred. with enthusiasm and a patriotic desire to aid England in case of a war with the Boers. The conflict came. and the Canadian condngents were among the bravest and most gallant of the British forces in South Africa.
 Prior to that time Canadians had not felt it to be their. duty to aid the mother. country in her conflicts The l.ennstment of the Hundredth regiment and the contribution Of a fund for the Ireiief of widows and orphans was the extent of British Americas participa- ltion in the Crimean war. Canadian yolunteersl had defended their own Ieountry in the two RieI rebeInons and the Fenian raids. but they had no en- thusiasn for wars in which Canada was not directly involved. A few canadian vogagers and volunteers en- listed for the soudan war. but they ! were paid from imperial funds. Until 1899, Canada was a. liability. rather than an asset, to the London govern ment. from military viewpoint.
 Thirty years ago the Imperial Fed eration League was organized in Can ada. and the sentiments of the people underwent gradual change, with the result that the first threat of war in South Africa fifteen years ago met with an instant response from Cana dians. Long before the struggle be- gan. the Canadian Parliament passed a resolution. approved by the leaders of both parties. expressing it's sym I pathy with the British policy in South Africa. Col Samuel Hughes. now Minister of Militia, attempted to raise a regiment of hisl own responsibility. but this brought him into conflict with the commander of the militia, and he was forced to abandon the project. The declaration of war found Canada ready and eager to participate, and in October the first Canadian contingent composed of men from every part ot the Dominion, sailed from Quebec. All Canada was ablaze with military and Iimperialstic spirit. and when events in Africa demanded it there was nc
 difficulty in raising a second conting-
 ent.
 Since then Canada has been an in
 tegra1 part of the empire. from 2
 military as well as a political view. point. and it's militia has been bod.

WOMAN AND WAR.

when the Canadian Government issued call for volunteers in the in ternational slaughter-fest now pro- gressing nerriIy in Europe, secure in its relief in the patriotism of it's women, is announced that all married recruits must be ticketed with a writ ten consent from their better two thirds before being accepted as po- tential cannon fodder.
 By this adroit appeal of the con sciences Of it's women is hoped for an unusually large enlistment
 TO it's dismay and great disappoint- ment the Canadian women-or more than 50 per cent. of hgrnvetoed their husbands enronment. For some =inscrutable reason they preferred live husbands to dead heroes.
 The Dominion Artillery Director, Colonel Morrison. bit his thumb. and declared that his faith in Canadian women has suffered a 50 per cent. shrinlage And now he's sorry he ever proposed such a badly bleeding piece of foonshness as to give our women any say in war matters and things that are utterly beyond their meager comprehensive.
 Had the single men been privileg- ed to g. similar veto bringing with them. say the written consent of their mothers. sisters, or sweethearts it is quite likely that the enlistment of bachelors would have shown an equal or even greater shrinlsage.
 For man may bully his wife into signing what might be his death war rant. where he would hesitate to brow beat his mother, or wiGe to be. ot course there are women not yet evo- luted from the care stage who sane ton and glorify the wholesale murder known as war, but woman is the nat uraI conservator of the race. Tn ths main. she believes that better uses fol her men and children can be foune than grinding them up for carrion Land when she gets 2 chance to regis ter this opinion. it is to her eterna credit that she does so.
 This constitutes another powerfu reason why women should be grantee suffrage. Notwithstanding the fac that hundreds of centuries of 1nale donination has made it necessary fol l many women to achieve their end. by evasion and mule-ariver tactics when they get an opportunity. the5 show their real sentiments If these sentiments express opposition to war to the extent of refusing to have mer forget. it Is clearly evident that vt have hitherto, in not giving womer more power. overlooked powerfu factor in the case Of our Canadians the government even promised to as sume care of the women and childrer left behfnd fch is quite conces sion. a distinct innovation in sugar locating the fair, but it was not enough If the butchers who are so energeti calIy slaughtering human cattle fo 1the purpose of securing prohtabl markets, and getting revenge for pas wars fought for the same lofty pur pose. had to reckon with the collectiv force of woFnan's prohibition. tli .crazy murder-orgy would never hay been started.
