The war news of the past iew weeksl

and particu`larl_v of the past two d-.i_vs,_ is_ most encouraging. The sweep of the Allied armies along a hundre_d_m1lcs on_the west-_ ern front was a magnificent achievement;

gvast issue in Europe. Butit is nevertheless

possible way, if only to bring about a con- dition whereby the Dominion will be in :I stronger position to meet the heavy bur- dens that will necessarily be imposed upon it as a result of the war.

And, in addition to that important as-

pect, there is the future development of the country to be borne in mind. After the war

the liberation of two whole departments of their-‘ Will be all lml00‘5-elllng Of the U2lti0l1° I

France after they had been dominated, bled white and tyranized over by the Ger- mans for two years was glorious. And \ve can iiiiagiiie the wild joy with which the

al energies now concentrated upon a tem-

porary but vital enterprise. The frreat ar-l

llhine. How far the retirement will pro- ceed. where it will end, or how is as _vet prohlematical. It is the bcginiiing of the'; end no doubt but only the beginning andl we have vet a long way to go on that five or six hundred mile front between the North' Sea and Switzei'lantl. The line has not per-I ccpitibly moved in Bclgiuin; the new AI- lied line is in many places only a few hun-_ dred yards from the original border of Gei'-- - man occupation, although ten to twenty,_ miles in one small section of France.

We are not _vet out of the wood and \ve

must not slacken our efforts but rather re-double them. We need men and material and both must be poured in without stint

and regardless of sacrifice. We are fightingi

an enemy who has reached the stage of dis- piration, who will seruple at nothing, whoi will sacrifice anything and everything not: to gain a victory, which is impossible, butI to secure an inconclusive peace, a peace_ which may serve as a starting point for_ further apigit-ssion and further deviltry.

And abovc all we want inen and matt-_-_

rial for the peace time. We know_nothing| yet i'egai‘tling the terms upon which peace may arise, nothing of the possible interfer- ence of other nations. nothing even of the aspirations of our Allies. All we can count upon is the strength of our arm, the right- eousness of our cause and the justice-lov- ing national instinct of our Empire. These we know, but we know no more of outsidel intentions or possibilities than we knew of. Gei'man_v three monthsbefore she defied us.

We are fighting for peace, waging a,

war against wai'. We have already paid al fearful price, a price measured in miles,of| graves in lfrance, in Belgium, in Gallipoli, at home. For this price, unless it will have been thrown away. we must have a peace that will endure, that will enable us to re- sume our civil life"nonedaring to make us afraid.” Te secure this kind of a peace and this kind of a life after the war we must have an army sufficiently strong not only to defeat the enemy but to enforce our peace terms. We have not yet reached this point. Recruiting must go on; contribu- tions to the Wai' funds must go on till the `end 'oi the war.

We ina_v rejoiceover the victories won

during the past few days but we must notl overestimate them. We have not yet seen the end of the Germans. The Rhine is still many miles off and not until they are safe-, ly beyond their own borders and we at' their heels shall we have peace.

Near approachof the end _of the fiscal:

year finds Canada’s financial position_ sound. The customs revenue, which may be regarded as a fairly reliable barometer of

trade conditions throughout the country,f continues to break records. The figures for

February showed an increase of more thanl ten per cent over the corresponding figures

return to England from France. wht-re he had visited the Canadian troops, Sir Rob- ert said :_

"We are eiiterihg upon the niost

critical period of the war, and I voice the feeling at the front when I appeal to Canadians to support with the most earnest effort ,the proposals which you are putting forward to partially mobi-

, lize the active militia of Canada. A

splendid response to these proposals is vitally necessary in order that the full strength of our Dominion. in ce- operation with the whole Empire, -shall be thrown into the struggle with the least possible delay."

This partial mobilization means that

for the double purpose of providing ti'oI‘.p-:~. for the defence of Canada and of releasing the members of the expeditionary force still in tire Dominion 50,000 men will be enrolled in the active militia and will in two months be embodied in units for con- tinuous service. For some weeks past th Government has been considering mea~ sures for filling the ranks of the militia, which have been depleted by enlistments for active service abroad and for providing a home defence army. The course decided upon was announced by Sir Edward Kemp, the Minister of Militia. Accompanving the annouiiceinent was an appeal to the man- hood of Canada to volunteer for national defence.

Men between the ages of 18 and 45

years are urged to enlist through the exist- ing militia units. They will be attested for one year or during the period of the war, should it last longer, and for six months after the war. provided His Majesty should so long require their services. Their at- testationpapers will show. that they have been accepted for duty in Canada.

‘lt is expected, however, that a consider-

able number of soldiers of home defence corps will in time seek transfers to the overseas forces.

During the present month battalion

staffs will be organized, oflicers and non- commissioned officers will be instructed and recruits will be enrolled in the new units. Next month the men enlisted will be trained two evenings and one forenoon a week.

In May .unless their units are detailed

for special duty, they will go into camp for the summer. -

It is estimated, on the data provided

by the National Service cards that there are 50,000 men still in Canada eligible for military service. that is, men not only -phy- sically fit and of military age, but men who can be spared from their present occupa- tions. Concurrently, with this voluntary enlistment will be the enlistment now in progress for reinforcements so that hence- forth there shall be no excuse for men of military age for not attaching themselves to one or the other of these forces.
