CARRYING THE BURDEN.

Territorially England is but a small
part of the widespread British empire,
but England is doing most Of the fight
ing for the empire in this war, as well
as making most of guns and ammuni-
tion for the use Of the soldiers and
providing most Of the money. Canada,
among the colonies. has responded to
the aid of the general cause, however.
What England is doing has been known
in general way all along, but the fig
ures given by Sir Auckland Geddes in
the house Of commons Monday make
the general knowledge specific.
Of the total enrolment of 100000
men, England contributed 4,530,O0o
Scotland 100000, Wales 100000, Ire
land 10000, and the dominions and
colonies 100000. Besides, these con
tributions there are fighting troops
labor corps, carriers and similar work
ers from India, Africa and other de
Tendencies.
ireland seems TO have done less thar
her share, but, considering the state
of public opinion in that part of tn,
empire, the showing should be consid
cred not unsatisfactory. Presumably
the number credited 10 ireland were al
recruited there. If that is 50, ther
the number Of Irishmen serving under
the colorS IS much larger than the fg
urcs given. To a certain extent this i
also true Of the number OF Scotchmel
and Wclshmen in the service. Larg,
numbers of Irishmen, Scotehmen an,
/ Welshmeu live in ireland, and Their,
are in England still larger numbers o
descendants in the second and thir,
generation-to 60 no further back-o
men from the other parts of the groui
known as Great Britain ard Ireland
From these people many of the soldier
credited to England were uudoubtedl-
recruited or drafted. SO ireland ha
in all probability done much bette
than the official showing gives her cred
it for.

actions to the war Whatever tie ont

Will be millions to whom the German
tongue Is native. There Will actually
be more need Of widespread knowl-
edge Of the German language than ever
II there is to be any change ut all:
certainly the necessity viii not be di-
minished. France is studying German as
t never did before because France IS
determined to know its Germany IN
the future and there is no KEY to IN
derstandlng Of people comparable to
knowledge of its language. France is
filled with no less hatred of the Tou-
tons than IS entertained by any state
in the union. The real way TO show 4
sensible hostility to our enemy is to
observe the food regulations, bur

as he came crawling along from side TO
side. You We're all Dragging and
bcasting of what you could do. 1t was
very silly, for Boosting is apt to make
other people less happy because they
do not feel so fortunate and it is very
cOnceited. Those who boast have lit
tie to boast of, as a rule. And those
who don't boast, do things. They don't
just talk them.
But [ must tell you all something
that will make every single one of
you happy
All the crabs listened attentively,
and they had quite stopped talking
among themselves.
Hear And all the crabs heard
the sea shells singing.
I'VE are going to their chorus in a
very little While, for they are singing
all the afternoon. But first of all
must tell you of something that we all
have TO be thankful for.
I'VE mustn't boast of it, we must be
glad of it. There are many creatures
in fact, most of the creatures on
earth and under the sea-who can only
swim or walk or crawl in one way
that is, straight ahead. Now we can
crawl in any direction without turning
around. Usually we crawl sideways.
But we can crawl any way. Just sup
pose we had to turn around every time
we wanted to go backwards. We can
crawl anyway at ALL
And the crabs proved it by crawling
in all sorts of ways to the sea shell
concert.
