Enlistment circulars spread broad cast throughout the country and ap- pear in many cities in the States, while addressed to Canadians, show that an appeal is made to Americans to volunteer.
 In 8 number of "ifs" one of the cir culars asks: "If Canada were to fall to Germany-and Canada's fate is wrapped up with that of England what would happen to the United States?, If Prussian militarism wins in this struggle what would happen to Canada? If Prussian militarism treats a treaty as g. scrap of paper, what would 1t do with an unsigned declaration of an unprepared people, like the Monroe Doctrine of the Uni ted States. If the Allies win--as win they must--could you be content to live in the enjoyment of your liber- ties which had cost other men their lives, but for which you had offered neither sacrifice nor service? If you have red blood in your veins: if you have a manhood that cries out for right simply because it is right, why not cast in your lot with the fellows who are in the trenches or in the wide-fung firing line, fighting for your ideals? You can enlist today Decide Now! Good Food. Good Eel lows, Good Quarters. A khaki at once and pay from the date of enlist ment. Separation allowance for your wife or dependent parents"
