cRrricrslNe ORGANIZED LABOR.

1t Is so natural for a1l organized
bodies to have a selfish way of doing
things, it is not at oil surprising that
organised labor is being used as the

as well settled nearer home, but be-
cause it is q great thing to see the

Join those who are calling this a de-

object It doesn't see why The Bulletin

Selfishness IL always brazen, and

doesn't seem heavy and they listen
with interest to the reports.
The people pay for a great many
pleasure trips under the guise Of bus

so.
Off1cia1dom always likes to put up
great front at the expense Of the
people, and ofHcialdom feels sure it

THE FLOWER or THE NATIONS
PERfSAfNG,

This European war is sweeping from
life the young men at the rate OF So
600 or 10000 a day, Bright and prom
Using and dependable sons Of families
in all these countries have persisted
by the thousands IN a year.
Handsome, educated and efficient
lads swept out Of existence as never
before. The London City School prints
a roll Of honor containing Thousand
names of bright boys in the trenches
Of Belgium and France and at the
Dardane1les and in the British navy
on every sea.
We talk Of money losses, but what
are they compared with the loss to a
mother OF four boys and her legless
baby boy left as representative Of
such an array OF splendid manhood
sacrificed.
And the English schooIboys are put
ting in song such sentiments as this:
They are gone and aloft the old
scfoo1-be1l
Mourns their loss, as it sways in the
autumn wind:
There was no regret In their last fare
we'll;
Regret is for US who are left be-
hind.
We that are still too young to go
And serve our land in it's hour Of
need.
Oh! that the days would not seem so
slow
Before we can follow our comrades
lead"
What Is this war costing these con-
tending nations in flesh and blood, in
undeveloped genius and mechanical
and spiritual force? These are losses
that cannot be estimated in dollars
and cents-the losses that set back
progress and civilization.
Material things can be made good,
but divinely inspired youths are lost
in the fray and the spiritual force of
q million young men can never be
estimated or regained.

Stories of the War
Princess Pats Men.

With his kit-bag on his shoulder,
ana still mudstained and blood-stained.
q wounded Canadian, in the course of
an interview, told a. dashing narrative
Of the gallantry of Princess Pats men
in q recent battle.
eff the Pats haven't proved them
selves fighters this trip. then I don't
know what it is to be a soldier" he
said. THE Germans took us for a lot
of mice. but they jolly soon found out
that we were men of the old John Bull
sort. We simply walloped them so
much with the. bayonet that you
couldn't spot a German for miles
around when we had done with them.
I'VE had been ordered to assist a
Border Regiment Il think It was). and
our artillery were exchanging compli-
ments with the Germans. This can
nonading didn't last long. and the
moment arrived when the Pats were
to prove their salt.
The enen1y's frst-line trenches
we're we only hop. step: and Jump away:
the parapet like lightning. There was
q chorus of John Bull for ever and in
o second We were entertaining the
Germans to bayonet display. The
beggars would show no fight. They
were helpless, although they had eight
or nine men to the British one.
I'VE cleared the first line of trenches
and then attacked the remainder. The
English boys who were with US did
some OF the finest lighting Of the war.
We did what we were commanded to
do for dear life, and relieved the strain
Of the British line.
I have never struck anything like
the lads Of the English regiments
They must be made of wonderful stuff.
After a battle they sing and lark as
II they had been to a music ball. They
