Friday and Sat- urday the khaki-clad boys were prominent on the `streets with cards in their hands. Upon these cards were names of men of military age, that is between the ages `of 18 and,45 years. There was a general hunt- ring out of the men whose names were on the cards. The result of this canvass` will, no doubt, be found on another page".

But things are different now. A_ foe 1S being -faced that has been forty years getting ready. Canada is called upon to raise 500,-V 000 men, 250,000`to be sent overseas and 250,000 to remain in Canada, armed to the teeth, Major T. Crawford Brown told his hearers on Friday evening, against the day when the British Empire dictates the terms of peace. When this campaign for men to serve under Lieut.-Col. MePhee is over and the reckoning is made, will the call have been A answered? If not then other appeals will be needed." ' This is the testing time for the men of our town and our country; -It has been announced from Berlin," Ont., that_ theidate May 19th has been de- _ cided `upon for the taking of the vote of the people as to the advisability of changing the name of their city. There is a perse- vering section of the population of,_Berlin. that will not quietly set back and allow their plan of name 'cl1a1igii1gto be thrown overboard. by the "Ontario Legislature Recently` the petition was thrown out by the Private Bills Committee, but the men who have the interests of their city at heart came back, and a deputation waited upon Premier Hearst with _s11ch conclusive ar-_'11-` _ments that a. bill was put tli1'ou;'li the -House p1'ovi,ding_~,' for tile (3llal1f.',`0 in -name'i't_' approved by the people of Berlin." There is-much to he said in favor of a change at the present time. Berlin stands for all that is f1'ig'l1tful in the eyes of loyal Canadians `--and_ there are many such, even thoue'l1 of German .birth in our hustlin5_v' busy Berlin. . Hermanufactured.artieles reach every por- tion of Canada,`tl1us the made in Berlin, Canada has anyth1n_r_:' but a pleasant avor. Berlin tomost of us spells Germany. The eliaiigiiig of a corporation name is sure to" i mean considerable of a re-ad_iustment in var- ious branches 01' civic, business and priv- ate life, but the cliaiiee should be well worth. the trouble. Manufacturers are chiey co11- cerned, wepare told, in liavnig this ( .ll:111_1'(`, and after all. iii a busy industrial centre. as is Berlin, the factories are the chief? asset` and what affects the n1an11i:'actu1'i11y_-- inter- ests has a eorrespondm:.: influence on the whole eon1n1unit_v.

So will it be if Berlin citi- zens wish the chane`e. In a few years the word. Berlin wouldbe but a name remem- hered in connection with Kaiser Bill and Prussian militarism.
