 Near the close of his address. Nrr. II iHoyd-George said that he wondered how many people fully realized the magnitude of the war and its tremrn dous issue. Sometimes he feared. he sand, that they treated il as a pass ing shower. II
 But this is not a passing shower" he explained: it is the deluge: ir ,s conVulsion of nature: it is a cyclone which is tearing up by it's roots the | ornamental plants Of modern society and Wrecking some of the flimsy tres tie. bridges of modern civilization. IL is an earthquake which is upheavine the very rocks of European life: it is one of those seismic disturbances in which nations leap forward or fall backward generations in single bound. All this chatterine about re- laXing q rule and suspending a. GUS tom is out of place You cannot hag- gle with am earthquake. and l heg the skilled Workmeu of this country. in whose keeping are the doctrines of iabor. to lift mp their eyes above the 'nists of distrUst and suspicion and ascend to the height of the greatest opportunity that ever opened before their class, and by so doing there win emerge after this war that future hope which the great leaders of de- mocracy of all ages have pictured in their dreams
