On, Tues- day night when we lost a lifeboat and` on Thursdayo` the Irish Coast when we encountered the worst storm in seven years, ac. cording to the captain, we. felt the rolling very, very bad, and most weresick. It is an awful feeling. I. believe some would not have -cared whether the boat went up or down, but one soon gets O.K. on land. On Thursday the cruiser left us and each, protect- ed by a li_ttle torpedo boat des- troyer, took its own course at full speed.

Many discomforts were ours for the rs! two weeks, but Tommy has a short memory now that things are beginning to be `av- ranged satisfactorily.

Most of the boys` spent their t.ime in London. - Ma ain folk gave me a royal wel- come after five years away from home, and after an absence of ve months I found my dear wife and child -rosy and healthy. The change had done them a great deal of good. We were loth to part at the end of the leave, but duty must be done and we live in others, being able to build up our home again._ One of my brothers I did not see, for he was rushed off to France after fteen'weeks training. I hope I may see him. If we should be here for a few weeks perhaps I ll get another chance of visiting bonnie Scot- land and especially the bonnie `folk.

The change merely indicates that the people of Great Britain wish to utilize every resource and every force attheir command to ensure victory. Britain wants peace just as soon as the demands made by `her and her allies are won from Germany. Anything less is not victory The m`ast;er- (in! way in which Britain is nancing the war is no less impressive than the achievements at the front. Her wealth and resources are almost limitless and are`heing freely and gladly pledged. This war is developing the individual. Every man, woman and child mustdo a share. Women in the United Kingdom aretaking the men's places at home. They have demonstrated that they can do the work? heretofore done by men and just as eiciently.

With a populationnearly equivalent to that or New York State. and a territory larger than the United States, her possi- bilities are vast. The quality of her fighting and her share in the warhas carried her fame to remote corners. Before the war immigration was rapid but not a measure to what it will be when peace is declared. I rmly believe that Canada will have an inux of population not unlike that in the United States about fty years ago.
