called not BENJAMIN, but Canada.
Canada has the same faith, the
game national aspirations and in the
same great world purpose. the Eng
lish speaking people have become
united, and in them shall all the ma
lions OF the earth be blessed.
American Soldiers FIonored.
'Tast Tuesday, Manitoba and
| Winnipeg welcomed the Third bat
talon of the 363rd regiment, United
! States infantry with such a chorus
! Of enthusiasm as would make the
high plaudits of an American crowd
seem like a lullaby. Why that en-
thusiasn? BY mutual understand
ing between the Americans and
| Canadians, no armed forces OF one
are allowed to pass through the
country Of the other, no war vessels
/ to ply on our international lakes and
rivers.
Then why Is that battalion
| marching through Canada? Why
the change? Because the life OF the
American and of the Canadian ma
tons is in the same peril. Because
the ideals Of truth and liberty and
honor which we hold in common are
in imminent danger OF destruction
by heartless and cruel enemy, who
in this war has broken every law,
human and divine, individual and
international.
Right Battles Might.
'Tn the awful clash between those
who despise the right and those who
defend it, there can be no COM
promise-one must submit-and 1t
will not be your country or my
country. The Hun shall bite the
dust. His policy of frightfulness will
not save him. Your General Sher-
man said, war IS He'll The Hun
says, make it ten-fold hotter, that
the nations may cover before US
and submit.
What matters the cry Of helpless
children; hear not the Shrek of
ravished innocence; listen not to the
means Of the wounded, the groans
OF the dying. Let bombs fall on
them out of heaven whence they
should expect only blessing. Let
the non German peoples perish by
Weltering in their blood, If so be
that we the Huns, may bend their
necks to our yoke.
THE people Of our free nations
hold them in derision. Fer their day
is coming, and the Hun Philistine|
shall cry out in torment from that
hot he'll which he prepared for 9TH
ers, and into which you will help
to put him. Philistines, yes-they
sent their DeliIaa1s, BernstorR and
Won Papen and the like, by guile
and doped newspapers to put to
sleep and shear off his locks Of
strength the Samson Of the ma
tions-your country"
IF that worthy hero, Samson,
had lived in modern democracy, he
would have been called Sam for
short, Uncle Sam by his relatives
and his descendants, Sammies. For
green withes and new cords; but
submarine warfare, that was the
cry, the Philistines are upon thee,
Samson!' and Sam walked up,
shook out his locks, and armed, not
with the jawbone Of an ass, as the
Huns would wish, but with the best
weapons science and industry can
produce, is falling on our enemies.
Canada knows that Sam will never
have his eyes put out, or grind in
bond for that Prussian power, that
thug Of Europe, the bandit Of the
world"
Sir James closed his, address amid
deafening applause. |
