To-day also we are couiideiit that peace lies at the end of the wily that we have been called upon to travel, and we shall on this New Ycar`s Day unitedly resolve that. whatever the sacrilices may be, whatever the cost. there shall be 110 faltering, liowcvcr long the way may be, until we have reached `a just and a lasting peace, not for ourselves alone, but for the world. t lur readers have followed with us day by day the story of the war and we need not here re-enter i|1t0 d».i;iils. .\`ui`iice it to say that i11 the war cloud, dark and tllrealeiiing still,,tl1crc are many breaks that are the sure prectir.-'ors of the end of the slort11. l"erhaps tire' most signiiieaiit symptom o_f the coming end is the growing desiitution in (iermany. There have been many distnrbances-riots on the part of the populace --in which the cry of mothers for food for their hungry babes carried more innnediate inenace to Ger- 1ua~ny than even the armies and the guns of her enemies. This cry is daily becoming 111ore insistent, and women and cliiltlren have been snbrcd in the streets of (ierman cities because they could not repress the wail of tht- widow and the orphan, the pitiful “ (live us back our soiis" of the mothers. This will be a factor in bringing the war to :i close, a strong ally of the \var-ending miracle tiiat is slowly but steadily evolving in the British Empire, where an army of four millions has already been mustered itito lighting form and into _wliie_h millions more are pour- ing from cve1'_\' portion of thc f:tt'~flung liiiipire on which the sun in-ver sets. .‘\nd to this army the millions of l\'ns~-ia and of I"1'a11ce are being added and a coriloo ol steel is being drawn around the iiun allies that sooner or later must crush them under the l"ate they invoked when they defied the world and irainpled uiidcrfoot every ordinance of God and of huuiaiiity. » in our own Dominion the year, both in spite of the \var and because of ii, has been a phenoinenally prosperoiis one. /\ record grain crop contributed largely to this prosperity, especially in. the Prairie l`ro\iiices.

Tiiis' wealth has been distributed over the uhoie l)on|inion, the general prosperity being indi- cated by the fact that the (`anadian \var loan of $50,000,000 was. siilist-1'ibe_;i_ous for them (the contractors) to take several hundred dollars more than was due tliqgl?” _asks thc I5atriot.__Was this intended as a reflection upon Mr-McNeill and the Government, was it*,l1 cly the honest” Patriots _ _ _ _ _ ___ __ , _ . _ _,-_i 1. _ ___ _ -\ _ __ _ _ ____~_! ______,_‘_}_ »_\ .___ jf ~ way of Paying aeotllpfftitciitl Or was it but another A 4 v ,_ " .‘.' f . saniilc f the ' ’ " _ ” ‘ _ _ ' .
