When the whole of Europe was succumbing un- der the' cruel blows of the Hunnish hordes and Britain was reeling under the shock then the British people arose as a man and defied the inhuman wretches who had dared to enter into her-sacréd, portals. The Britisher has always maintain- ed i still stedfastly believes that his home is his castle; but to- entertain such a thought when the sun is shin- i ing and te sky blue is onc thing and to have the same lofty sentiments} 'when cyclones are raging and earth- " qliakes ready to engulf her is quite * another story; but even then Britain refused to be downed. Why was it? Was it simply be- : 'cause a narrow Channel separated her from France? Norway had her quisl- "ings and. every other' contificntal ~ country was: honeycombed 'with trait- ors and even Britain herself Was not ree from the scourge. Brixton Gaol s her quota of foes of Britain's own household. Then why did not Britain "tumble as the rest? Britains can grumble as the rest of tions; however, she prefers to settle wn differénces. She is just like od 3 husband and his spouse having jendly spat, they rather enjoy it; Joseph Denny but woe betide some well intentiohed neighbour interfering in the conflict, In most cases the intruder regrets not having kept out of the quarrel. When Britishers sing "Rule Brit- tania" as she sings she tells the world she means it. ~ That is what counts, To have lofty ideals is one thing but to be prepared to carry them out is quite another, Such a-line of action is not to. take the line of least resis- tance but to be ready with all the means in your Power to enforce your principles even at the sacrifico of life itself. . We read of other nations willing to sacrifice themselves to please an em- peror, of others who had to go for- ward because they dared not go back, J but for a people to be willing to sacrt- fice themselves in order to lift life to a higher pinnacle and be willing to smrender fll that is dear to them simply because théy desire to continue their own free way of life and to make the world a better place in which to live, such a mode of - existence has never been found outside of the annals of British history. = When a con- quered race has learned to love. jts conqueror's manner of life, We could understand a nation that had been conquered, that spoke 'the conqueror's own tongue being anamuored by its conqueror's mode. of life, but for a < than a generation they lined--up-with us against a nation which had pro- mised to befriend them. The chival- rous treatment that Britain meted out to an erstwhile foe is so appealing that' very few arc. able to resist her kindly gestures. Britain survives the ordeal because she believes in her high destiny, When an individual has manfully' struggled against fearful odds and has come through, she will not wantonly throw to one side that for which her people hag bled and died. ..-Not much more than a century ago a person in Eng- landewas subjected to the most brutal punishments for what today are called minor offences; but reform after re- form has been ushered in until today even through the continuance of" one of the most cruel wars in history Britain still plans to make not only the British Empire, nay, even the whole world a better place in which to live, In fact "The Utopia" of which Sir Thomas oore as" the author, is slowly but surely being gradually brought in. - No wonder then that' Britishers, [0 even though deprived of all they hold dear, smile through--their tears, and hurl defiance at their foes. A nation maintaing its equilibrium is a people to be reckoned 'with. It has been said that Britain does not know when;she is beaten; that can lose every battle but the last, is not a natural but a anand por Y Goering "For years the boast of the scheming was: "Sacrifice butter for guns" but this butter has melted and his guns are destroyed and he is farther away from the goal he hoped to maintain than ever though he has used all the knavish tricks and most dispicable treachery than ever man was capable, 'Myrtle Station The following letter, written on July 8th, by one of our boys wearing the uniform of the Royal Canadian En- gineers, and passed by the, censor, is of .interest to our readers: You no doubt read in the papers 'of our safe arrival, voy.
