Miss Calvert was member of the
household of Kimzey's father, pros
porous Illinois farmer. When a son was
born to the pair the girl being under
age, Kinney was prosecuted, convicted
and sentenced to 80 years imprison-

The significant thing, the unprece- dented and very far reaching thing, alike for Canada and for the Empire, IS that now, for the very first time in our history. our people choose to be combatant in a war which is not our making. and which involves for Can ada's sons and territory and trade on both oceans all the possibilities of loss and waste and slaughter which war may bring. Canada might have en- Joyed all the privileges of a neutral. Instead the choice is made, freely, will lngly, deliberately made, to share and share alike with Britain to the last dollar and the last man. It is Can ada's choice. and Canadians are not ashamed.
