other nations imagine that we, as a
nation of shopkeepers. are too indo-

Says Nation Hates War.
But they are entirely mistaken in

Millions of Men Trained.

Al the commencement of the war
we were not and never did pretend to
be a military nation. An eXpedtionary
force of 10000 men and a small ter
rtorial army of 100000 men for de-
fense against inva sion was all we could
boast Of. but today Great Britain teens
with military camps, in which millions
of men of the finest material are being
trained and equipped to cope with
every emergency.
NO other nation in the world ever
produced or hoped to produce a volun-
teer army Of such proportions. Each
day brings to the coiors thousands Of
men who had never thought of military
service before, and eacn day, as our
enemy grows weaker the infancy of
our strength is growing into manhood,
and with increasing viriity and Prov

enough to be Influenced by the mis-
representations which are part of
equipment of our German enemies, who
represent US as a decadent race. But
they know little Of the spirit of our

We have the right to say to neutrals
that our cause is just that the war has
been forced upon us, and that We are

sacrifice that makes nation great, to
bring our cause to a successful conclusion.
We have a right, ! think. to ask neutrals
to examine their own consciences as to
whether they have done everything that
neutrals ought to do or can do, In In
sisting that the laws of humanity and
the doctrines of International law which
have been so carefully fostered in times
of peace are carried out
"Neutrals are the executive power to
compel observance of the principles of
international Law, and if they fall to do
so. the result must be disastrous to the
world at large, in the present and in the
future, and give free play to savagery
and barba rism which is none the less re-
voting because it carries out its methods
by the aid of the discoveries of scientific
research and progress.
