Prince Edward Island!
This World War Demands ‘the Supreme' °
Effort of a United Empire ‘  
Shall Our Province Fall Behind
.
It should not be supposed that contributions of three or four hundred men
a few odd dollars, some bags of oats and boxes of socks constitute our rightful
sacrifice. So far not more than a handful of geople in all this country have any
actual realization of what the War means. T ese few have given their husbands
or their sons to the cause of Empire. The remainder have done nothing in com-
parison With their abilities and their opportunities.
' Our national life,our peace, our prosperity and our happiness are so depend-
ent ugon the Well-be1ng_ of the British Empire _that only by playing our part in
that mp1re can We mamtam our fortunate position.
\ Up to the present ninety-ni-ne per cent. of us do not realize what sacrifice
means, nor what _is being endured by those nearer to the firing line than We ’
are. We must g1ve, not only of our material Wealth, but of our -blood, and not
niggardly, but with a generousvhand. `
None of us wish to part with_ our husbands and our children, but it is bet-
ter that they should serve the Empire and save our homes than that our enem-
les should triumph and all that We hold dear be taken from us.
“For Romans in Rome’s quarrel
Spared neither land nor gold, »
Nor son nor wife, nor limb nor life,
' In the brave days of old.” '
The 55th Regiment still requires two hundred men from this Province.
These men must be furnished at once, and must be recruited from P. E. Island
homes. We cannot ask. strangers to take our places. The duty before us is clear,
however hard the part may seem. Some will lose their lives; others willbe
maimed; many will return. ` - . i
