HRITATN'S GREAT ARMY.
England and Colonies Have Furnished
100000 Men for the War.

The story of Great Britain's own part
IN keeping the enemy at bay, her sacrifices
and her achievements is rarely told by Der
loyal and devoted sons. This, it is
said accounts for the fact that the mother
countrys share in the conduct of the war
has been misunderstood. minimzed and
overlooked by the rest of the world.
Colonel St. George l.. Steele who heads
the British and Canadian Recruiting
Mission in this district, is silently proud
of the traditional modcsty of his native
land. However nc believes that it is
time that all the world should know the
truth.
Four hundred and fifty thousand men
comprised the British forces according
to Colonel Steele, when Germany moblliz-
cd against Great Britain III 1914 Her
army was then serving in the British Isles,
Egypt. India, South Africa and other
parts of the Empire. On August l3,
1914 the first cxpeditonary force landed
in France under cover of darkness The
force consisted of between $4,000 and
90, 200 men and four hundred guns. \
fully prepared German army Of 5000 600
trained, and equipped with weapons of
warfare never yet heard of by other
nations stood ready TO meet the con
tcmptible little army"
The German propaganda, said Colonel
Steele, prevalent in this country and
in neutral lands has persistcntly fostercd
the belief that Great Britain has, and is
leaving the work to be done her by col
onlcs and allies, So that it becomes neccs-
sarv for even the reserved. inexpensive
Briton to lift a corner of the veil which
shrouds her true activities"
Four days before the cXpcditionary
force landed, Colonel Steele calls to mind
Lord Kitchener called for 100000 men.
He had them in ten days. BY the end
Of September of the same year l,000, 900
men had volunteered Before the word
consumption was spoken there were over
5000. 600 volunteers in the service Of
Great Britain. Consumption has probably
added another million mon. This force.
