STANDING BACK OF
THE GOVERNMENT

Next to dishonor, war is the
greatest calamity that can be-
fall a nation. We are now be-
ginning to realize how far
reaching its effects are. It is
not too much to affirm that
the war affects to some degree
the condition of life for every
man, woman and child in the
country. From the loss of life
itself, the sacrifice runs all the
way down the scale to slight
deprivation of comfort and
luxury.
But for every widespread
disaster there is usually some
good to place in the other side
of the balance. It may not APP
parently make a hairs weight
of difference against the i'll,
but it is there and perceptible
if we look for it. What have we
of good to set against the evils
of war?
Our answer would be, Great
er national unity. A year ago
we were for the most part a
country of individuals. indivi-
dual communities, individual
states. Men were pursuing their
own objects, communities were
lot looking beyond their own
improvements, states were car
ing for their own people.
Now all horizons are broad
ened. When a man sees his son
or his neighbours son going to
war, his thought involuntarily
goes out to the environment of
that boy, the conditions he will
meet, and the government which
provides or regulates them. He
realizes that the government
will have to provide these boys
with the simple necessities;
food, clothing and shelter. 1t
will also have to provide them
with training, transportation,
weapons, artillery and aircraft
for their protection, medical
services and hospitals for their
care, and hundred other essen
tials. And the man also begins
to realize that it is up to him
in his individual capacity to
stand back of the government,
to take his part in providing
these absolutely necessary
things in his own rightful pro-
portion, either from his album
dance or from his bare suffi-
cheney.
And we need only to see the
banners of the Third Liberty
Loan in the windows of the
homes throughout the land to
understand how magnificently
the individuals have risen to
their duty and their opportun-
ity.
We cannot estimate the ag-
gregate sacrifices which this
splendid showing has required.
In many cases it meant the Civ
ing up of comforts, perhaps of
cherished plans. But each man
who has subscribed for his
bond or bonds feels that he is
a component part of his coun- |
try, that he stands or falls with
it, and that it is a country wor-
thy of his sacrifice. He is in
harmony of feeling with his
neighbor, his community, his
state and his nation.

out to-day that his retirement was
prompted by the need Of rest and not
by any physical disability or disquali-

Mr.. Gray's general health is good,

"The new flag consists of three hor!-

in the Adriatic will be used chiefly for
relief work. There are also a hundred
thousand tons of Austrian merchant
ships in Spanish ports which will be
treated like those i'm the Adriatic. Half
of these ships probably will be en-
trusted to Spain and half to Italy pro-
visionally, the idea being that tho
countries in whose territorial waters
the merchantmen are, or those in

for the Entente.
Thirty thousand more tons OF
