fused hitherto to see the urgency of this present crisis, or to believe that the Germans are guilty of the cruelty and indecency with which they are charged. But the facts cited above, being communicated to me from such n source, are absolutely authentic. and will only be rejected by men who are bliiitl t.hrough refusing to see.

I may add one more quotation: " We are so grateful for all the help

we are receiving from Canada. and from all over the worltl." _Let those who are doing their best for the Em- pire anti for humanity by contributing to the efforts to assist Great Britain in the “Holy War" into which she has been forced take such expressions of gratitude as a rcconipense for their efforts and gifts. Let those who have done and given nothing hang their heads in shame that, by their refusal to help, they are tacitly consenting to the torture and mutilation (including emnscnlation) of brave men, to at- rocious niaimlng anti ruin of pure and noble women, and even the disfigure- ment and irrevocable disabling of helpless children.

VOLUNTEERS

AND TAXES

Sir,-A few tlays ago, while going

down Main Street. 1 noticed 061111111 .notices, which seemed to he type- written, tacked in various places where they would be almost certain to catch the public eye.

Upon stopping before one of these

notices and reading it, I found that it was a list of the defaulting rate-payers of the town. Their names were. as is usual in such cases, arranged in alpha- betical order, tfontniencing with "li" and ending with “ \\'." The first iiuine on the list was that of a. young nian, who on the 15th of tlils ntoutli landed at Plymouth, England, as a member of the Canadian contingent. ' Opposite his name on this list was the aniount dtie by hiin to the town-two dollars. This was all he owed: his poll-tax- two dollars,

lt. seeined”to me as l looked at his

name again, so often on riiy lips in days gone by, that he was standing there before iiie-tlte boy whom every- one knew for tt good--natnretl, inoffen- sive fellow, but a boy whom most people would have laughed at had he tolti them that he was thinking ol' .going to the front. We \vlio knew him well. and who knew that uiidor- noath the surface of his good nature there ltirked the inextinguishable fire of patriotism, were surprised at his going.

Anil now, the boy, who lnay to-

morrow for aught that we kiio\v. he exposed to the tleatli-tlcaliiig shrapncl of the Gernian guns, that bo_v is sup- posed to pay at paltry tax, intposetl upon hlni by the town for whicii he is `\villing to give his lift-. Eiiglainl's war s t‘aiiatla`s war, (`aiinda`s battle is i’i'ince Edward lslaiid‘s battle. I’rint'c ’<JtI\vartl lslnnil's fight is i'\lbortoii`s iight, anti so it goes till it reaciics every nnin, woman and cliild in the i-tinntry.

'i`he tax is legal and it makes no

lifferenco how long this boy reniiiins .ui the battle-fields ol' Europe. when he returns, it can he collectetl. lint it seems to me that a thing can often he legally correct while it may not be morally right.

I cannot conceive of anything that

would be more pleasing to the citizens of the town, or more noble on the part of the donors, than to exempt for ever t'roin taxation, those \vlio on the

die that this Empire riiight live.

The heroism, the grand, sublime.

nspiring, ennobling courage of those -.vho leave all they lioltl dear behlnti. to go to the front, is something whit-.li should cause a glow of patriotisni to -.iveep over the laiitl. As long as ilio Empire raises sons like l-laroltl liaeirsto, that long is this lrlnipire :ate I uni. sir, etc.,
