Canadian Army Welcomed the Opportunity
°f Flihllng side by 5l<l`¢ With Americans.
(Special to the Guardian)
BOEITAWA' August 26"sh` R°b""l P0 llfilllitions of its horrors. 'l‘he
or en arrived back iii Ottawa short- devils by wiioiin German milltai-isis
ly after noon-yesterday. He was mot
st the station by Lady Borden, I-Ion,
Frank Cochrane, Hon. Mlartin Bur-
rell, llon, Arthur Meiglien, Speaker
Rhodes, -Major General Bigger nnd
Captain Ellis of the Militia Depart-
ment. The boat which the Premier
crossed made her record since the
war from port to port, having made
the trip in the remarkable time cf
5 days 19 hours. At one point the life
boat of a torpedoed steamer was
sighted ,just prior to rescue by patrol
boats. Otherwise the crossing was
without incident.
OTTAWIA, Ont., August 26.-Refer
ring to thework of the Imperial war
Conference Sir Robert -Borden yes-
terday declared the Canadian repres-
entatives carried out ar definite poi-
icy of preserving complete freedom
of action to the Government and Par-
liament of Canada in the policy and
methods to be adopted for co-opernt-
ion with other parts of the Empire in
any common purpose. He referred to
conclusions of great moment having
been reached. adding that "Before the
close of the present year further im-
portant decisions must necessarily be
taken."
NEW YORK, .Aug-ost 23.-The/Can-
adian Press, Sir iitobert made the fol-
lowing statement: '
` "I was on the other side ofthe At-
lantic lust ten rweeks, and I return
wiith the conviction that never was
the spirit of the Allied nations more
steadfast or moreresolute than at
present.
‘f'l‘he greater portion of my time
was spent in England, where I ar-
rived just after the German had con-
ducted a successful ol‘fensive,' first
against the British, and then against
the French during the spring. The
effect of that success has been coin-
pletely dissipated by the recent de
feat of the Austrians in italy, and or
the Germans in France."
In referring to the arrival of tha
large American forces overseas, Sir
Robert said there was most effective*
and harmonious co-operation be-
tween the armies of the United State.-I
Great Biiltain and Fraiice, as well as.
the navies. ‘
"The Canadian army welcome the
opportunity to iight side -by side with
their`ltius‘men of this commonwealth,"
the Plremier said. During the Geimaii
offensive inthe eariyspring montlizi
the Canadian divisions were' not en-
gaged -but during recent weeks they
have won as conspicuous a victory
as ever fell to their lot since the
outbreak of the war. Driving forward
on a considerable front they hurled
hack the Germans fourteen miles and
captured nearly 10,000 prisoners, and
more .than one hundred and ilfty
cannon. Their casualties numbered
considerably less thantthelr prison-
ers. And they held all the ground
which they captured.

to ii. finish and that there shrill be
are possessed must be cast out; the
spell with which they have bound
the German people.must be broken.
Until then `Germariy cannot become
regenerated. -Lt may be a hard lesson
but the German people must learn it.
Mastery ofthe Air _
“As mastery oi' the air passes more
and more completely to the Allies, the
German people will more and mort-
realize. through wiir cai'i-ie-(.~ to theii
own territories, the mai-tyrdom to
which they relentlessly subjected oth
er nations. it may 'be a hard lesson
but they cannot be saved from them
selves unless they are compelled tt
learn it. 'lt is equally the duty oi’ tht
Allied nations to purge Germany oi
her inadness`»hy unsparing use of eco
nomic pressure until she has giver
convincing manifestation of sanit)
and a clean spirit. Let no selfish pm'
pose of divergence of interest impedi
uniteil action to this end‘. An assnssii
state must 'be barred from the society
of decent cominonwealths until the;
ure convinced of its sincere repent
ance.
Canada fights with no ag-gressiv;
or selfish -purpose, ibut to secure tht
pence of the world, to safeguard lib
erty and to maintain public right.
She is thoroughly conscious that vas'
responsibilities will rest upon thi
Allied nations, and especially upoi
the British and American common
wealths when conditions of peac-
come to be determined. I firmly he
lieve that the future peace of th-
world rests largely, and indeed, chie’
ly upon unity of purpose and of sci
ion between these two democracies;
ilnlc.-is this strenuous respons1hlln_
is realized and inet, we shall not hav-
lulfllled our highest duty to -this or
Io future generations. With nation-
us with individuals, power is insei-
arable froin responsibility; and'dut_\
cannot 'he fiiliilled by declining i
just cull to leadership, however diill
cult its task may be.
“TI trust that these two mighty dc
mocracies, united by strong- ties o
kinship, languages and ideal may in
spirc each other with complete coi.
ildence ami sympathy in earnest ain
unseliish purpose ami nction to coin
inand the world’s peace and -to secui'
safety and equality of_ opportuiiit
for the smaller nationalities and fo'
the backward races of the world. Th.
supreme result -would indeed crowz
all oui' sacrifices' ami would giv-
us much to hope from u. wider leagu-
of nations."
