THE PRICE 0F EMPIRE

six' thousand casualties among the comparatively

small body of Canadians now lighting U19 Emplfe 9 l’°"l°° in Europe! The announcement in our telegrams .W-‘S!01‘t18i' morning of the Price Dald by our brave Canadians at Lange- marck and St. Julien was startling. The l>flC€ “'95 3 1°"

rible one and the reward only a check to the enemy. The total casualty list, when completed. will ll# 811 3DD1ll1US one.

We Canadians who have watched the progress of the

war with one indifferent eye and kept the other on our business and our opportunities for making a few paltry dollars out of the calamity that has befallen, who have been watching the eifect of the war upon the markets and figuring out bow much we can make of our crops because of the enhanced prices, should read over again and yet a- gain the record of the struggle in which our fellow coun- trymen won lmperishable glory at the cost of their lives; in which they "nobly knew to die, but could not learn to ilinch or ily."

They have paid, and are paying, the price. What are

we doing? What are they and we to get out of it? They get death, suffering, mutilation-we the privilege of living under the British flag and making money; they the glory of trampling undcr foot and beating into the earth a band ot' cut throats and murderers who have not only violated 1-very law of civilized warfare and of humanity but have glorlt-tl in it-wc, salvation from the rule of these cut- lhroais anti murderers.

Will the price paid by Canada's sous and by the other

sons of the Empire appeal to us? Will we still hoard up our dollars and watch the markets and let the best blood in the Emplre’s veins be shed that we may make an easy living, helped on perhaps by the misfortunes oi’ war?

A few months ago we contributed generously. Today

there is nothing doing and we compiacently read the pre- dictions about the early end of the war through the col- lapse of Germany. Our daily oiilcial despatches give no in- dication of an curly collapse or even of an early weakening of German resources. The Russians are now being held up in the Carpathians; the affair in the western theatre is little better than a deadlock anti the killing of thousands of men. Where.are the evidences of German collapse? ('er- tainly not in the vicinity of Ypres or in the Carpathians. And on the sea, although German commerce has been held up. German submarines are reaping their daily harvest in merchant ships and we are apparently powerless to prevent il.

Vanadians must awake to the necessity of doing much

more than they have done. \Ve in Prince Edward island. who also have given of our blood, have not by any means donc our share. We may not have many more men to send but we have money and food. We should contribute of these for they are neetled. We are living in luxury anti ease while others are buying our liberty for us with their lives. We should give to thc point of sacrifice and we are yet very far from this.

Practically every California paper that comes to our

office. in the regular way tells in glowing terms of the

splendid Canadian exhibit at the Panama Egtposition. We give one quotation which is typical of them all: “Citizens or the United States who go to the exposition at San Fran- cisco will return with increased respect for Canada and the Canadian Government, thanks to the great building and the extraordinarily fine exhibit that represent Can- :-nla's power."

in previous issues we made reference to the magnifi-

rcnt display made hy Canada and the encomlunls passed upon it by the Vnited States press. and it is not necessary to further expatiate upon it here. lt is enough to say that through' this exhibit Canada has received more really valuable advertising in the United States. probably than through any other means heretofore adopted to attract lm- miltranta or to direct attention to our unbounded resources.

The point that we wish to emphasize here is the value

nt practical advertising. in the Panama Exposition there was no attempt made to specialize upon any one province; it was all Canada and Canadian resources, and Canada as a whole will reap a harvest from it.

llnt as to provinces. An opportunity to advertise pro-

Vl11f`l11lly is fnmished annually at the Toronto Exhibition which is usually held about the last of August and the be. ginning of September. Apart from a few individual efforts in the exhibition ol’ live stock we have never taken ad- vantage of this opportunity. The Province, as such, has never hcen placed on exhibition. That such an under- taking would be a protltable and a. creditable one we feel assured. At an expenditure of some three or four or ilve hundred dollars a. Prince Edward island display could he made at the Toronto Exhibition that would mean more than as many thousands to the province as a whole.

How much the national debt of the

When the Laurier .Govern- ment was spending the country's money like xt "drunken sailor," and pledging the nation's credit like a bankrupt Austrian count, the Patriot was ever willing to issue it a blank cheque for its needs; but today when the very life of the British Empire is at stake it sulks in its tent and grum- bles because we are asked to pay our share of its continued existence. like men.

EVE GLASSES AND WAR

The large number of British Terri-

torials with spectacles or eyeglasses has been noticed. On this point the late Eustace Balfour, brother of Ar- thur Balfour, wrote: "Some members who have passed the medical tests on the assumption that they will shoot in spectacles do not do so. May l point out that spectacles are no hu- miliation? The Germans wear them in war. They are in some respects even n protection against dust. I personal- ly have been a deer-stalker and have always had to wear glasses. I do not think l have ever lost a stag which I should otherwise have hit, by having spectacles on. The prejudice against them is childish and artificial, in my view."
