And each having given his body for the commonwealth. they re- ceive instead thereof a most re- markable sepulchre. not that wherein they are buried so much as that other wherein their glory is laid up. on all occasions. both by word and deed. to be remem- bered evcrmorc; for to famous men all the earth is a sepulchre.” It is for us today. when many

homes are sorrowed, to rc-echo this heroic spirit.

ii’ today when in the fourth year

of conflict. Germany still breasts her

adversaries with might and resolve, still holds the territories which at the outset her extraordinary preparedness enabled her to conquer, shall we ad- mit that the balance imust be struck in her favor? it is best to face facts. however disconcerting, to know the worst of what we have to tear rather than to delude ourselves with self-complacent piatitudes. Our task

ever drcnmed. Our years of sloth- ful unpreparcdness ami our failure to lace the truth have had their reward in bitter losses. wasted opportunities. and deep liuimiliations. We have reaped as we have sown. But for what has gone before we shall neither whine nor repine. That is not the \\'~”i.)' of our breed, We must steel our hearts and heighten our 1-ggglvg lo soo the atruggle_tlirough.

lt is the character ol' a people that

must prevail in the end. Discipline, scientific skill and organization, can ill) great il1lllSS. but in the last resort il is the men behind tlieguns and the D00ple 'behind the imen. This is our ll0D92 on this we stay ourselves, and as unbroken surety we have behind us the annals of our race.

Let us then face our sacrifices with

fortitude and he of good heart. 'I`cr- rible has been the longdrawn strain. but wc must, bear it to the' end. Above all we must never desert the gallant men who are facing death and falling in i~`landers for everything we profess to desire.
