Hardly, when we remember th a t those Whose memories we shall keep on Saturday died ahnost in vain, because we failed to hold high the torch they flung to us wth their dying,hands. There will never be a war, which will end war, as we ought to have known, if we had really studied human nature or believed our Bibles. Colonel John McRae, when he penned his immortal poem,, could not have doubted our victory, but what he did fear was th a t we would make a chivalrous peace with a people who know nothing of chivalry. ' Even now, while fully appreciating the mistakes made a t the first Armistice and in the Versailles Treaty, which was fa r too easy, we are only beginning to realize-rthe vein of sadistic cruelty th a t is part of the ̂German character.

There a re a few scattered among our Great Common­ wealth of Nations who decry our history arid destiny, forget­ ting that the m ere fact of their being free to do so is more than sufficient proof of th e falsity of the ir charges. It IS a tru ism th a t history repeats itself, and its long story is for the m ost p a r t th a t of the rise and fall of g reat empires, going back into the dim past. Some have left no records except those of ruined cities lost in the jungles, but these are sufficient to prove their greatness 3;nd high culture. Each one according to the recofd had-apparently a certain. contribution to make to th e ' cause of civilization: Rome's . legacy, for instance, was law, as th a t of Greece was art. Each one's greatness,'too, lasted ju s t so long as th a t contribution ~was-maintaTned"at~"ar:high"^standard"and"no"longer,~"and" each-- -perished from the weakness-caused' by wealth and .internal corruption. And w hat is the contribution of*the British Empire? I t would seem to be the instruction and training of man in the art of self government w ith its freedom of the individual to ■ live his own life within the law. It is for th is-liberty th a t those whose memory we keep on Saturday gave their all, as it is the same cause for which we war today. And so long as-wb prove ourselves worthy of the liberties we enjoy, we need have no fear of the future. 3,00p citiizejis throughout Great- profit of- $4,006^0b0.^ In closing . . . ■• ■■ ■ . - • T : "T*̂ .
