canada's Part in the War

Canadians may well be proud OF
the part which their country ASSUME
ed in the great European conflict.
The first Canadian contingent started
overseas in the autumn OF 1914 ana
during the next four years Canada
sent to the western front nearly hall
a million men or nearly 6 per cent
Of the total population of the DOM
inion. If the United States had ship
ped men overseas at the same ratio
we would have had 100000 soldiers
in Europe. IL
These Canadian troops bore the
brunt of bitter fighting at. Ypres,
t Lens and Viny Ridge with heavy cas-
ualties. According to the official fig-
ures nearly $4,000 Canadians were
killed in action during the four years
of the war; $4,000 died of wounds or
disease, while 100000 or thereabouts
were reported wounded or missing.
The total casualties, therefore, were
not far below so per cent OF the IN
troops sent across. Compared with
that percentage the. total casualties
of the American expeditionary force
were absurdly small, but this is
mainly because the Canadians were
rolling up their long lists of killed
and wounded for more than two
years before we entered the war;
In the matter Of money contribu-
lions. toward the winning of the war
Canada's achievements have been
equally splendid. Besides paying the
entire. cost. of maintaining her own
contingents;. Canada has advanced in
credits TO the. British government
more than half a billion dollars. for
the purchase Of munitions and sup
plies Since the beginning of the war
the Dominion government has raised
more than a billion dollars by loan
issues, nearly all of it within the
country One might have thought
|; that these. successive issues of "Vic-
tory Bonds" would have drained the
people of their surplus funds Not
so, however, as is indicated by the
fact that the total deposits in Cana
dian banks are larger than they wer.
before the war began. Canadians
are well aware of the heavy. price
which they have paid for their share
in the great triumph, but no one
among them begrudges it.-Boston
Herald.

Every person with the shreds Of mem.
DRY must recall the worry. annoyance.
even in certain instances the want
which resulted from the enforced clos

authority that II this threatened strike
should materialize that this same mill

certain result Of hardship and suffering.
