EDITORIAL.

In our last issue we hoped that the School year beginningin September would see the beginning of the end of this

ghastly war. We hoped to see again many old faces of boyswho had to leave us temporarily on account of the 'bad times.

Alas, the war drags on, and the times therefore for manyare not better, but worse.

The School is sufifering, yet she gamely holds on, and weall trust she will be aible to weather the storrn and continue

the good work.Considering everything, and remem'bering that twenty-

one new boys joined us this term, we ought not to feel down-hearted.

We are not down-hearted; we are justly full of life andhope, for we feel the diminution in numbers is only a circum-

stance over which there is no control. We know that just as

soon as normal times return the boys who ought to be here

will gladly become associated with the old School.

We have said "good-bye" to the Kingston boys and to

the boys who are entering McGill, or their life's business, andwe trust their future will ibe successful.

"Au revoir" would be better than "good-bye," for our old

boys are very loyal ; they visit us on every possible occasion,

and right glad we are to see them. We shall, indeed, wel-

come back those brave fellows who are doing their "bit." It

is most gratifying to us that such a large percentage of our

old boys have the right spirit and have responded to the call

of duty.

Our honour list now stands at loo.

When we remember that the School started on its careerin 1906 and that the numl)er of old boys who have attended is

about 450. it must be conceded that "The University School"has something- to be proud of.

THE GARDEN COMPETITION.The Rev. Hole very kindly consented to judge this year.

After a very thorough examination the following results werearrived at

:

Winners : The garden managed by de Pencier, Thomasand Jackson. Second place, Traeger's garden.

Much work had been expended on these gardens, butmarks were lost on account of the poor arrangement of plants

and the faulty colour schemes.

SPEECH DAY AND PRIZE-GIVING.

The distrilnition took place in the Gymnasium on Wed-nesday, 7th July, before a large attendance of parents andfriends.

The *'Gym" 'walls were decorated with shields, cups andpennants—the School's trophies.

The Dean of Columbia very kindly presented the prizes.

The Headmaster, Mr. J. C. Barnacle, opened the proceed-

ings by reading the annual report, which dealt with the many

achievements and the general progress made during the Schoolyear just closed.

In expressing the deep regret which the School felt at the

death of Capt. Harvey he said:

"In this great struggle against Prussian militarism it is

not considered etiquette to mourn or show our feelings at the

losses we receive, but though we understand the great causeis worthy of the sacrifices we have to make, I, for one, amunable to abide by the dictates of etiquette.

"We, at this School, DO mourn; we cannot help it. Mr.

Harvey's work for this School will always remain a monu-ment to 'him.

"His efforts have helped considerably to make the Uni-versity School what it is to-day.

"Mr. Harvey died, as he lived, nobly. He gave his life

foi; a great cause. He has set a glorious example to all Uni-versity School boys, past, present and future."

In the course of his report he stated that 1914-15 hadbeen a "record" year for good health.

The Dean then presented the prizes, and at the conclusion

of this ceremony he delivered a short address, congratulating

the School on its many activities and successes during the

past year.

He said that the boys while at school learnt somethingabout everything, but after they left school they had to learn

everything about something.The Warden, Rev. W. W. Bolton, then gave an inspiring

address on the purpose of the School.

He looked forward to the day when a Chapel would beerected on the grounds to commemorate those who had fallen

whilst upholding the honour of the School and of the Empire.All those present stood while he read the Roll of Honour,

which contained the names of over seventy Masters and "OldBoys" who had volunteered their services and who had either

fallen on the field of battle or who were still serving the

colours in various ways.This impressive incident brought the proceedings to a

close.

HOCKEY.University School vs. Normal School.

The first match of the hockey season was played on ourground against the Normal School on October 6th.

In the first half minute of play the Normal School scored,

after a fine forward rush. The score was soon equalled whenAppleton scored from a corner. The play was very even upto half-time, the score 'being one all.

In the second half our side lost no time in crossing their

twenty-five line, and after several attempts Corsan raised the

score.

The remainder of the play was in our favour.

Lennie and Corsan scored two more goals, and the gameended in a victory for the University, with a score of four to

one.

The play of de Pencier, the captain, was the feature of

the game. He played a splendid defence, and fed his forwardswell. Corsan, Lennie and Annance also played splendidly in

the forward line.

The team was as follows:

BrowningMcGregor Garrard

Appleton de Pencier (Capt.) ThurburnHolms i Lennie i Corsan Annance Aylard

University School vs. Mr. Hope's TeamMr. Hope brought a team up from town to play us on

October 8th. The teams were very evenly matched, but ourbetter combination won the game.

In the first half they got the better of us by a score of

two to one. Our goal was shot by Annance.In the second half our side played much better. The

score was soon tied by McDougal and two more goals wereshot by him and Holms. The game ended with a score of 4-2.

de Pencier played his usual splendid game, while the playof Thurburn, at half-back, and Corsan and McDougal waswell worth mentioning.

The team was

was in our favour. McDougal scored the first two goals for

us and Annance added another. McDougal again scored anda few minutes later the whistle blew for half-time.

The second half 'was more even, both sides playing muchharder. Our opponents made a rush and scored. Afteranother hard attack they again scored. This aroused ourboys, and after a hard struggle Holms shot the last goal.

The score was 5-3 in our favour.

Browning played well in goal. Appleton did very well at

half, de Pencier was splendid at centre half, played a gooddefence and fed his forwards well. Annance and McDouoalplayed well in the forward line.

The line-up was

:

BrowningMcGregor Garrard

Thurburn de Pencier AppletonHolms i McDougal Annance Errington Aylard

Corsan was not able to play on account of illness.

The School Hockey League

There were four teams in the league

:

The Eagles Capt. Corsan.The Vultures . . . Capt. de Pencier.

The Hawks Capt. Brouse.

The Owls Capt. Innes.

The Vultures, after a keen contest, came out on top, andare therefore the holders of Mrs. Barnacle's Hockey Cup.

The final result was

:

Vultures .... 4 pts. Eagles 3 pts.

O'wls 2 pts. Hawks ...... 3 pts.

HOCKEY CHARACTERS, 1915.

McGregor—Has held his position at full-back. Hits

hard and is a fair tackle.

Browning—Has the makings of a good goal-keeper. Is

cool and uses his body well.

Garrard—^Useful full-back; has lots of power in- his

strokes. Might be safer, and must learn to stop the ball with

his hands.

de Pencier—A really good centre-half; has splendid

defence and has learnt to feed his forwards. He is a very

good captain ; has the knack of getting everything possible

out of his men.

Appleton—A good "half," is a good tackle and works all

the time. He should learn to use his hands more.

Thurburn—A hard workiiio- "half/' with lots of dash.

Must learn to use his head and feed his forwards.

Holms i.—Played "forward" on the "wini^." Is fast, butmust learn to handle his stick better, lias not sufficient con-trol over the ball.

Lennie i.—Played inside "right." Gave promise of beingvery good, but, owing to an accident to his thuml), did notplay in many matches.

Corsan—Took Jackson's place at centre "forward" andwas very effective. Is a good shot.

Annance—A very good "inside" forward ; has good con-trol of the stick. Works hard all the time.

Aylard—Played "forward" on the "wing." Is fast andcentres w^ell. When he has more control over the ball shouldbe verv useful.

RUGBY PROSPECTS.At the annual meeting of Masters and Prefects the follow-

ing officials were chosen for the 1915-16 season:Captain, ist XV., de Pencier (John) ; Vice-Captain, Gar-

rard ; Secretary, Holms i.

Selection and Colours Committee: Mr. Barnacle, Mr.Tomlinson, Corsan, the Captain and the Vice.

As we have only four of last year's Colours, some real

hard work will have to be done if we mean to keep our last

year's reputation.

Of course, last year was a great exception. It happenedthat most of the team remained a year longer than usual.However, with de Pencier as captain, we feel that the buddingmaterial will soon be whipped into shape.

The forwards promise to be almost as good as last year's,

and it is gratifying to be able to say this. We shall havesome difficulty in the three-quarter line. The boys that prom-ise to be good are very light for our rst XV. Jackson, at

full-back, proved his worth with last year's team. If we canonly find three-quarters we shall have nothing to fear.

Well, we shall see.

W^e had a visit from Russell Ker, who has just left

Haileybury. He is anxious to do his ''bit."

E, Jackson, 1909-11, visited the School in October. Hehas been for the last three years at Wellington School,England, where he was a Prefect. He has the honor of beingour Jackson's brother.

MATTERS MlUTBRyi )

The Cadet Corps is very fortunate in having such anefficient Cadet Instructor as Lieutenant B. Harvey. We are

sure he will bring the Corps to its old standard of efficiency.

Co. Leader Garrard is most enthusiastic and an excellent

commander. We feel that the Corps under his leadership will

become equally keen and win back its former position—ist

in B.C.

T'he officers for this year are :

Instructor—Lieut. B. Harvey.Company Commander—W. A. B. Garrard.Right Half Company Commander—C. J. Holms.Left Half Company Comimander—L Brouse.

The following promotions have been made this term :

Lieut. Garrard—To Company Commander.Sergt. Brouse—To Half Company Commander.Corp. Belson—Sergt., No. 2 Section.

Corp. Appleton—Sergt., No. 3 Section.

Corp. Annance—^Sergt., No. 4 Section.

Sergt. de Pencier has been made Company Q.M.S.Corp. Lennie has been made Band Sergeant.

Pte. Thurburn—To Corporal, No. i Section.

Pte. Jackson—To Corporal, No. 2 Section.

Pte. Errington—To Corporal, No. 3 Section.

Pte. Burne—to Corporal, Orderly Room.

On the visit of H.R.H. the Duke of Connaught, the CadetCorps was instructed to parade for inspection. It was veryunfortunate that such an important occasion should happenjust at the beginning of a new term, when the recruits had notreceived sufficient training to be able to attend.

Although just recovering from the long liolidays the

Company which paraded for inspection was very satisfactory,

and received much praise for their smart appearance.

The following recruits have joined the Corps this term:Pelly i, Small, Andrews, Browning, Daniels, Thorsen, T^elly ii,

Burne ii, Hinton, Harvey, Burdick, Downie.

*A monthly match for the winter season has been arranged withthis club.

All matches are scored by the decimal system.

This term the Seniors and Intermediates have started to

take the Musketry Course (.22) designed by the War Office

for the Territorial Forces, and a prize has been offered for the

best scores obtained in each class.

The course consists of five parts

:

I.—Grouping (minimum, 10; maximum, 25) ;

11. , III. and IV.—Application (minimum, 15) ; and

V.—^Quick Firing, 5 shots in 40 seconds, one miss allowed(minimum, 10).

All parts are shot on a i-inch bull target.

Failure in one group involves starting the course againfrom the ibeginning. Scoring is on the Bisley system, andboys who score 100 (out of a possible 125) are entitled to amarksman's certificate; 85, to a first class; and 65, to a

second class.

Uip to the date of writing, 22 Seniors have passed thefourth test without having had to go back, Garrard and Belsonbeing the leaders, with a score of 93 points out of a possible100.

In our first match we were well beaten by a strong club,

'but considering it was the first match of the season, and that

only two members of last year's team were shooting, wemade a very creditable showing, getting 829 out of a possible

1,000. We hope to have several more pleasurable and closer

matches against this club.

In our second match, against North Vancouver CityPolice, we did not do nearly so well. Shots went astray in

the most unaccountable manner, and we can only hope for thebest that 591, out of a possible 800, will not cause our oppon-ents to smile too scornfully.

A new system of signalling the scores has been installed,

which obviates to a great extent the necessity for the con-

fusion involved by what may be called the "yelling" method.The Juniors are taking a modified form of the Musketry

Course, and it appears to have steadied their shooting con-

siderably.

Everybody (the exception only proves the rule) now hits

the target, though they may not make a gratifying score, anda few are making a respectable showing on the inch targets.

We have received the good news that the School cameout 37th, out of over 500, in the Imperial Challenge ShieldCompetition, twenty places higher than last year, and securinga prize of $10.

Our score of 83% in the first match gi\es great promisefor our future fate next Spring in the C.R.L. matches.

Remember, it was made in a totally different way to con-

ditions prevailing in the C.R.L. competition last year, amongstothers, at a distance of 25% greater and l)y a practically newteam, the individual members of which had to be nominatedbefore the match.

happy one is the sincere wish of your correspondent.A.K.N.O.

CAMERA CLUB.A meeting- of this cluib was held at the beginning of term,

at 'which several new memibers were enrolled.

After the usual business it was decided to arrange twocompetitions. Mr. Tomlinson offered a prize for the best

picture of a game, and Mr. Oxenham for the best portrait

handed in, the candidates to send in their photos at the end

of term.

So far, contestants in hockey, football, or even marbles,

have not been openly bombarded by snapshotters, but we hopeto hear of several casualties before this reaches the press.

PRIZE ESSAYCanada's Relation With Foreign Countries

(Reginald Hodson)As one of the largest and best of the colonies of the

leading nation of the world, Canada has for many years held

15

Page 18: The Black and Red November 1915 - SMUS · ZhcBlackm\i>1Rci> VOL.3 NOVEMBER.1915 No.24 StaffOftbe/IRaga3inc Editor- - Mr.J.C.Barnacle assistedby MembersoftheSchool Editorial 1 SchoolNotes

a very enviable position. She is looked upon as the ''pearl"

of the colonies. Occupying almost half of the continent of

North America, she opens for any crowded country an excel-

lent o-round upon 'which to pour her surplus population.

The relation of Canada with foreign countries dates backto the fifteenth century, when Eric the son of Red, an old

vi'king, visited the shores of Newfoundland and Labrador.These are only hazy theories, but we have evident facts whichshow that John Cabot reached here in 1496, from England.But the English did not settle here; they went further southto Virginia and Maryland. The French were the first to plant

a colony in the Canada of to-day, and after many unsuccessful

attempts they succeeded in 1608, when Samuel de Champlainfounded Quebec.

For the next 150 years the English and French were in a

continual state of vyarfare, the successes of each side varying.

By the treaty of Utrecht in 1713 France ceded to GreatBritain, Nova - Scotia, New Brunswick, and the territory

drained by the rivers flowing into Hudson's Bay. There still

remained the territory drained iby the St. Lawrence. In 1763the treaty of Paris gave for ever to Great Britain the wholecontinent of North America except the islands St. Pierre andMiquelon.

For the next few years all went well, but the paece of the

American continent could not long remain unbroken. In

1776 America declared her independence, and after muchfighting succeeded in breaking away from Great Britain.

Thus a nation was formed whose relations with Canada havefor the last three hundred years been peaceful.

It may be thus seen that in the first three hundred years

of Canada's existence she was like a barque between twocurrents, in which tlie stronger finally won.

The English parliament in 165 1 passed the Navigation

Acts, in 'which it required "that all goods imported into Eng-land must be imported in English ships." In 1660 Charles II.

made it much harder for the colonies when he passed the

second Navigation Act, which said "Goods imported andexported by a colony should come from or go to Englandonly !" It was the result of these acts which so hamperedthe early trade of Canada, and thus that Canada had so veryfew relations with foreign countries, in her early life.

The Canada Legislature soon after the Act of Union,

1840, set themselves to try and get the Navigation Lawsrepealed. They got the English minister to look into the

matter, and Lord Elgin had the satisfaction of seeing themremoved in 1849, ^^'^^^ from this time Canada's trade has ever

increased.

Canada's relations with the United States have sometimespresented difficulties. During- the war 1812-1814 the Ameri-can g-eneral, Hull, invaded Canada and issued a proclamation

promising "Peace, Liberty and Security." The French inhabi-

tants of Canada at that time had no love for the Americans,

and they attacked them and drove them iback. There wassome trouble with the States regarding the Behring Sea

fisheries, but the question was settled amicably by arbitration.

The boundary line between British Columbia and Americawas also settled by arbitration, althoug'h some trouble

occurred afterwards. It has always 'been the aim of Canadaand England to keep the trade lines running from "West to

East and from East to West" as much as possible. The trade

with the United States has always been larger than that with

any other country. In Canada there is such a large amountof American capital that the trade necessarily flows from"North to South." In the year 1914 Canada's foreign importsamounted to over $467,000,000, and of that over four hundredmillion alone was from the United States. The same thing-

applied to exports on a smaller scale. Nearly all the pulp in

Canada is exported to our southern neighbours. Reciprocity

is a thing which has often been talked about. In 1854-66

there was Reciprocity with the United States, but in the endCanada found that it did not pay. She found that the States

would absorb her industries and that she would receive

nothing in return. In 1891 Reciprocity was adopted as the

Liberal policy for Canada, but it was so strenuously opposedthat they changed it to semi-reciprocity. Again in 191 1 there

was some talk of it, and even of annexation to the UnitedStates, but I think that if Great Britain continues to uphold the

policy a'bout her colonies that she does now, there need be

no fear of any such thing ever happening.

Since Britain's sea-struggle of 1814 there has been a

complete redistribution of Britain's navy. In early days

Great Britain stood between the world and her colonies.

Japan has during the last decade, made amazing strides in her

navy, army, and in her economic principles. The Imperial

Government has lately changed her naval policy, and has

withdrawn her Pacific fleet to home waters. Thus we see the

possibility of Japan becomino- a menace to our Empire andespecially to Canada. There is also another question whichnas become very troublesome during the last few years, the

immioration of Asiatics into Canada and into British Colum-bia especially. The Anglo-Japanese alliance of 1905 did a lot

to diminish the influx of Japanese, and also enabled Great

Britain to withdraw her Pacific squadron without actual fear.

Thus if the present relations with Japan continue, everything

17

Page 20: The Black and Red November 1915 - SMUS · ZhcBlackm\i>1Rci> VOL.3 NOVEMBER.1915 No.24 StaffOftbe/IRaga3inc Editor- - Mr.J.C.Barnacle assistedby MembersoftheSchool Editorial 1 SchoolNotes

will work out peacefully, even though at present Canada has

no great trade relations 'with Japan as she has with the UnitedStates.

The "Yellow Peril" has also a very significant meaningwhen we think of the teeming masses which populate Chinaand India. In the case of China the Government of British

Columbia has set a head-tax and a certain amount of learning

on each ,Chinaman, so that he cannot enter British Colunnbia

w^ithout fulfilling these conditions. These restrictions do not

stop them, as they immigrate in just as large numbers. In

the case of India 'she cannot be reckoned as a foreign country,

but she presents the same difihculties to Canada as China does.

The present war will make the question very difficult for

British statesmen to decide. In June, 1914, the Hindoos sent

a shipload of men by the "Komagata Maru," and tried to

make a forciible landing, but they did not succeed. The ques-tion is becoming very difficult, and we cannot think what will

be the outcome.

We may next turn to the empires of Europe. France, the

old enemy of England, is now on most intimate terms. Formany years Great Britain has helped France and in return

has been helped by France. In 1904 the French Governmentgave up its fishing rights in Newfoundland in return for GreatBritain recognizing France's claim to some land in Central

Africa. Between Canada and France a good trade has beenbuilt up, and during the present war France has sent Canadalarge orders for war munitions. The Canadians who are at

the front were received with great enthusiasm, and it is veryprobable that their cordial relations will continue.

With most of the smaller nations of Europe Canada hastrade relations. The Dutch who in early days had a settle-

ment near the British in America, have gradually lost their

power and claims, but still have a lively trade with Canada.

We next turn to Germany, the power who has beenrapidly rising to importance since the war with France in

1870. Up to that time Germany had not made any effort to

attain colonies, but since then she has entirely changed her

colonial policy. Before the present war started Canada had a

rapidly growing trade with Germany. Let us ponder a

moment and think what would happen if Great Britain andthe Allies were defeated 6y Germany in the present war.During the last forty years Germany has been looking for

colonies upon which to place her already over-large popula-

tion. Is not Canada a place suitafble for such a purpose? Is

it not one of the best spots suitable for such a colony? Theanswer is most surely, "Yes." Think of Canada being over-

run by a large German population which would certainly

18

Page 21: The Black and Red November 1915 - SMUS · ZhcBlackm\i>1Rci> VOL.3 NOVEMBER.1915 No.24 StaffOftbe/IRaga3inc Editor- - Mr.J.C.Barnacle assistedby MembersoftheSchool Editorial 1 SchoolNotes

happen if Great Britain were defeated. It is therefore neces-sary for every Canadian to rise and help Great Britain to

drive badk the Germans. And she is doing this, and more sheis giving men, money and food-stuffs to Great Britain.

The relations of Canada with foreign countries dependlargely uj)on the relations which Great Britain holds withthem ; and as she is now at war with Germany, Austria andTurkey, so is Canada at -war with these countries.

In an article written by Turgot soon after the war of

American Independence, he likens colonies to ''fruits whichwdien they are ripe drop from the tree which bare them."Germany thought that the colonies of Great Britain wouldseize this opportunity and break away from her, as the

American colonies did before. This is one of the mistakeswhich Germany made. The commercial relations whichCanada had with Germany before the war, are broken up.

Germany's mercantile fleet has been crushed, just as in thewar of 1812-14 the American fleet was captured. If Germanyis beaten in this war she will have to build up again the greattrade which she had.

We have now taken Canada's relations with foreign

countries, both past and present, and now we have to considerthe future. It is impossible to foretell what will happen manyyears ahead. It is certain that the opening of the PanamaCanal will have material effects on the relations of almostevery part of the British Empire with foreign countries.

What will the perfection of air-craft bring? It may cause acomplete change in the tactics of war and also be made a

common method of locomotion. But when? It may comein the near future or may not be perfected for many years.

Then again, a point which is very doubtful at present, 'whatwdll be the outcome of the war? Can Germany overpowerGreat Britain? When we consider the great power whichGermany has and the fact that she is the most perfect fighting-

machine ever made, we must have our doubts. It is impos-sible to imagine what course Germany would pursue if shewere to win. It would surely mean almost the extinction ofthe male population of Great Britain.

Great Britain and the Allies winning, there are threecourses open to Canada. First, closer union with the mothercountry. Secondly annexation to the United States ; and,thirdly, independence. To make the first feasible some arepromoting preferential trade with Great Britain. Of thesecond, I do not think any true Canadian would leave theBritish flag to join a foreign one. Lastly, what good wouldIndependence be to us? Some larger nation would probably

19

overpower us and we would become subservient to a foreign

power.

We may see by the present war that the foreign relations

of Canada are mainly conditioned by Great Britain. It is veryprobable that this war will be the last and that hereafter

Canada's relations 'with foreign powers will be peaceful.

THE WARSince our last issue Warsaw has fallen and the Teutons

have forced their way eastward. The Russians did not hold

the Brest-Litovsk line, but in the main they conducted a

splendid strategical retreat. Like the Franco-British armies

last year, they lured the enemy on to further doom. In

their eagerness to be everywhere we find the enemy haspractically arrived nowhere. For after all, victory is the

ultimate test ; and surely one must be blind to imagine that

this war will bring success to German 'world-power schemes.Not all the hideous deeds of frightfulness can avail to makeWilhelm II. the overlord of Europe. Blind fury has pushedhis minions on their course of despair. The great scheme for

world conquest began in October^ 1908, when Austria annexedBosnia (undoubtedly with German connivance) and made the

Berlin Treaty of 1878 a "scrap of paper." In the spring of

1909, when England was discussing naval preparation, Berlin

newspapers carried the headlines, "England's Nervousness."Thus the German people were being led' up to the grandattack.

As the enemy could not purchase our neutrality he con-

ceived we must remain neutral, simply because he would wishit so. This has (been the fatal German way of reasoning in

all things. In fact the enemy has shown the most remarkablepO'wer of misunderstanding the aims and ideals of the Allies.

To the Germans it is a surprising thing that other nations

should have aims and ambitions. The British Empire, whichillustrates a most unique growth and development, appearedto Teutonic greed to be a splendid prize for their vast army,aided of course, by their much-lauded and hurriedly-built

navy. Thwarted of victory on the French and Russianfronts, a diversion has been made against Serbia. This, it is

hoped, will make the Allies send their forces to the Balkansand reduce their strength in the main fields. Certainly help

20

will be sent to Serbia. We believe it will be j^trong enough to

render all the service needed. We hope fervently it mayarrive in time to fulfil our Welshes. Britain and France will

not see a little nation like Serbia, which has shown suchsplendid endurance, forsaken in the hour of need. For aboveall, we must remember that this is a war to guard the small

nations. We hold that small nations, like great, have the

right to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." Theleague of the hosts of Wodin think to the contrary. To them,small nations need the higher "Kultur" w'hich will make themrejoice at being dispossessed of their rights and independence.

The most stupid fatuity that ever captivated a people's

imagination w^as surely Germany's belief that the world wouldperish unaided by her "Kultur." Whatever may be the fate

of a people holding such belief, we are quite sure the rest of

the world will progress quite favorably without the aid of a

system which has culminated in the exposure of its exponentsto the most intense loathing and contempt, both of enemiesand neutrals. Lapse of time and wiser counsels must surelyeventually remove this dark faith from the German mind.

Meantime the struggle continues. Bulgaria has joined

issue with her Slavic liberator. Like the Turk, she haschosen the side of despotism. Soon both will be in the throesof despair.

The Dardanelles operations did not produce the immed-iate relief \yq had hoped. Critics have abundantly found fault.

But let it be remembered that there are no wars withoutmistakes. A year ago -we wrote that war was the greatest of

all chances. To-day we may add that when war can be wagedwith mathematical certainty then the era of universal peacewill have dawned.

The present stage of the struggle demands the grimmestdetermination and rugged persistence. Canada is providingmore men, and like the rest of the Empire, she must hangon with might and main. Our sacrifices must continue till

tenacity has accomplished its purpose. A people imbued withthe noblest ideals of truth and freedom, fighting for the mostglorious empire on which sun ever shone, must forget mis-takes, cease to criticize, and do one thing only, ''Fight on."

Let us still stand four-square to the enemy, and thoughdestiny brought the war upon us, we shall prove that"Endurance conquers fate." E. A. TUNNICLIFFE.
