WAR’S FRUITS

. in recent issues o_r__t_iie__(i_ua_ril_ian we have published letters fromwourl soldiers at the front, also sympathetic letters from friends and from strangers to those of our people who have been bereaved. Our soldiers ln their brief communicactions, some of them written in the trenches and amid horrible scenes of carnage, speak of duty and the determination to S0 ll\l'0l1§l1 with li £0 8 triumphant issue. Death and the probability of death, when touched upon at all, are referred to reverently, as hy men to whom death has become familiar. Comrados are lovingly mentioned either as having made the great sacrifice or are in the act of making it if necessary. There is in every letter a tone of reverence and manliness as well as of patriotism, that cannot but appeal to the best that is in us. Our soldier sons, brothers, husbands, fathers are teaching us the great lesson of self-sacrifice, of manlineos and of patriotism.

Perhaps, however, the most striking letter that it has

been our privilege to publish was that which appeared in Friday morning’s Guardian from an English lady in Liver- pool to Mrs McDonald of this province, expressing the motherly thougght that the latter would " like to know that an English mother was able to follow your dear son to his last resting~place.” And then there was the descrip- tion of the funeral and the "few little white flowers on his grave.” _

This from a stranger to a stranger, from a mother to a

mother; a word between two who never expected to meet each other, but who had a common interest in the tragedy that is being enacted on the bloody fields of Europe. And this is only one of many similar incidents, all products of the war, all born of the sorrow and the sacrifice of war.

it has often been said that we who have been born

and brought up in peace, who have received the good things of llfe.‘. the blessings of freedom, the protection of a flag that has never been lowered to an enemy, have never appreciated our blessings. \Ve have not paid for our lands and our' liberties as our fathers had done; we accepted them as our rights. And it is true. We have grown selfish; we have each devoted our strength and our talents and our time to the acquisition of wealth. to the enjoyment of life. Now we are called upon to pay and we are paying. From thousands of homes throughout Canada, from many homes in our own little province, sons, husbands, fathers have gone out to pay the price of our lihcrtieis, of the posesslons we have inherited. Our homes have become united in one aim, one object, that must bc achieved although it may mean bereavement and'sorrow to every home. And in this common aim. this common sacrifice, we are becoming united in sympathy, in devotion

to our country, in reverence for the flag whose protection li""icrto we had accepted as our right.

We shall he the better in spirit for the war. We arc

becoming united and the hundreds of letters ‘passing be- tween De0ple who have hitherto been strangers but are now of one family, are the strongest cvidencelof it.

Let us cultivate the spirit of mutual helpfulness and

sympathy, dearly bought though it be, for in the years to come it will be one of the blessings for which we of these dllfk days are paying the price.

GERMAN iiuiiiicirr 0

(icrniaii audacity, like German mcndacity, is a thing

by itself rind, like other German characteristics; is incom- prehensible outside of Germany. The latest is on oiilcia proclamation complaining bitterly of the aerial bombard- ment of Karlsruhe. It is far from the theatre of operations, they wlilne, and not fortified in any way? This from the Germans! Thc Zeppellns they have sent to England have killifd mlilly P90010 and caused much damage, but their victims were civilians and they destroyed nothing- but private property. They sent their cruisers to the English east coast to bombard unfortifled places like Scarborough. and Hartlepool. They killed civilians, including women' and children, but dirl no military damage whatever. They sent their submarines to destroy the Lusitanla, an un- armed inerchant ship, causing a frightful loss of human life

A country that can send its cruisers and alrships to

shower shot aiirl shell on unfortifled English towns and cities, that sinks unarmed merchant ships regardless of the loss of civilian life and then complains of an attack on one of its own finfortlflerl cities is assuredly not lack. ing in audacity.

The Government of the Kingdom of Greece is based

chiefly on the Constitution of 1864. Undcr the charter there is a single-chamber Parliament, the number of repre- sentatives now being limited to 181. The deputies are paid for their legislative services, the sesslonal stipend be- ing about $350, with an additional indemnity of about $200 for extra sessions when such are necessary. The minis- ters receive a monthly allowance of about $285, without 1 pension, the salary of the Premier being slightly higher. The people’s representatives are elected for a period of four years, but a Parliament seldom runs the full course.

` King Gcorgc‘and his Primo' Minister have replied forcibly to the charges made against Lord Kitchener. They have bestowed upon him the Order of tho Garter. People of a democracy may consider this a poor thing, a bauhle signifying nothing. But tho King may say of it, as Touchstone so proudly said of Audrey, "it is ‘mlno own.”' It ls' the noblest gift that British Royalty may confer upon a subject or a contemporary monarch. The German Emperor,and Princes have lately been deprived of it. Lord Kitchener now possesses the highest honour Lord Roberts received. Only eight other earls have received the Order.
