quired to be known it is now Now when the Empire is at war now when many of the regular channels supply closed now when men in millions have summoned from the paths of industry to the inferno of destruction now when Britain is lighting for Belgiums right to live now when the worlds liberties are a a stake now when Germany seeks to prostrate Britain even as she has prostrated Belgium now when j many threatens the forty million peo ple of England Scotland Ireland and Wales with starvation now when the enemy is bombarding peaceful towns and villages slaughtering in nocent and harmless women and children now when fertile fields and fruitful gardens of other lands are ly ing in waste and swollen with death now is the tlm when Canada is call ed upon to put forth her mightiest to help stem
