E'h.H4Ay WITH THE
 WORLDS CONSCIENCE"

NIT. Lloyd George ilas pointed out that the least of the war aims adopted at the recent Labor Conference can not be enforced until the German forces are beaten. Try to cash that chcoue at the Hindenburg Bank" he exclaimed Tt will be returned dis nonored." Those who doubt that con- tention should read this extract from an article by Max Lohan in the Deut- sche Zeitung
 Away with the worlds conscience! Away with the spirit of fraternity! The German conscience, which is . conscience based on might. must alone be our leader and guide. It's command is: More power, more German power"
 This is the legacy which our dead heroes have bequeathed us in letters of blood-red flame. May they who sin gainst this legacy be struck with the curse which, rising up from the graves of the fallen, shall find it's way to Gods own heaven, thence to be flung down with a thousand-fold greater strength and fury on the heads of the traitor weddings whose bleary eyes are blind ed by the glamour of their disgraceful love of England.
 He who permits his conscience or his feeling of responsibility towards humanity to whisper in his ears any ether suggestion save the one only. hat the language Of the German sword and Of German might must be the sole arbiter Of our destines and of those of all other peoples, remains a pitt frl political dreamer, melancholy ieniZen of cloudland."
 It was Marshal Von Haeseler who said in 1915: civilization must raise it's temples on mountains of corpses, seas of tears and the death-rattles of the dying" That is the real Prus- sian mind.

 ITO the chairmen of all local draft boards:
 Every man who joins the colors of his country is entitled to know just what the Government will do to pro tect his loved ones at home and to safeguard his own future. It is our plain duty, therefore, to acquaint Ancr.ca's fighting forces with the far sighted and humane provisions of the war-r;sk insurance act. The knowl- edge Of these provisions will hearten cur defenders and strengthen that spirit at home and at the front which is nd:sLansab,e to victory.
 Help to Solve Many Problems
 Many of the problems before your board can he met by a full apprecia- ticn of the spirit and letter of the war risk insurance act. You will receive
 
 s:gnment of literature on Government insurance and allotments and alow ances, for distribution among your registrants, and for general use at your discretion. 1 am sure that you will carry on your invaluable educa- tional work along this line by dis tributing these bulletins and pamph- lets among your men, and that you Will also take up this matter in the personal hear-to-heart letters and talks that play so important part in your relations with the registrants.
 Not Obligation But Opportunity
 Government insurance for our fight ing men is not an obligation, but an op- portunity. The time within which men can avail themselves of this op- portunity is strictly limited by law. P9omr. action is imperative. With the unparalleled advantages of Govern ment insurance l need not attempt to ccquaint you, tut I wish to empha- size the vital importance of conveying this message to the men themselves so that they will be informed and there l fore peraperd to take the full Govern ment protection as soon as they reach camp.
 Sincerely yours,
 w. G. MCADOO,
 Secretary of the Treasury
