Sir Robert was greeted with tre- mendous applause as he entered, and throughout his address the crowd showed its feeling time after time. \l4 Avwol Sir Robert was given a Welcome Worthy of Toronto s Canadianism and her high Imperialism. Toronto l1as played host to the Prime Minis- ter before; it has taxed the accom- modation of the city s largest auditorium to acclaim him as the able and respected leader of a great political party. But last nig'ht s_Wclco1ne had a deeper signi- cance. It was a tribute to the man who stands at the head of Can-. ada s whole-hearted participation 1n freedom- s' st1'11g'g'le. TW .T.?f' gnnvu \.`I.Avl4l-J\ J.-3 uoouxvuu Robert s address was largely -a narrative of his journey along the ghting line, Where he mixed with the Canadian troops in the trench- es, and his visits to Canadian Wounded in two-score of military hospitals. He briey reviewed what the Dominion had accomplished, and closed with the assertion that those who had been maimed or disabled in the conict would be adequately provided` for, and the hope that the people of Canada would commem- orate the deeds of their heroes by the erection, probably in the capital of the Dominion, of a Worthy mem- orial. .. - E! MADE cA_1g)_11as of good cheer, a word ofhope, a. Word of eondence, a Word of be- lief that the great cause for whichv we are ghting--a cause which in- volves _not only the future of our Dominion and our Empire, but the future of civilization, of l1urn~a.ni.`_\r, of the World itself--cannot fail. This was the message that the` Right. Hon. SirRobert Borden left with the. people of Toronto at the conclusion of his address to the great audience that taxed the ca- pacity of the Arena -Monday night. Fresh from an extended visit to the front in Flanders and France, from close association with the leading statesmen and military authorities of both Britain and Frame. he was able to speak with knowledge of the situation as it really is and of the preparations "of the allies for the great drive on the Western front. Of those preparations" he gave no details, but he was convinced that they were of a nature to bring sat- isfactory results in the immediate future. By. his consistent optimism, revealing itself throughout his ,speech, `the Prime Minister left his lhearers content that bitter though lthestruggle may be, the triumph of 3the allied cause is assured. `IN I I ,M)? `last `Word to you is `a word sm R.0BT.
