Besides, how is his family to subsist on the miserly allow ances that are given the man in the ranks? In no army does the remuneration sulfice to maintain a family; and this is particularly so in the British service, where a few shillings a month make up the soldier's pay. Even British officers do not receive anything to speak of, either in peace or war. A man has reached a sad stage when he will desert his family at the first blare of the trumpets, led away by a mere lust of battle which is given a halo by the much abused sentim ent of pa triotism. Such a man is not pa triotic. He is more brute thun man and it is well indeed to re strain him, at least until such time as he becomes a real necess ity on the firing line. Married Volunteers Restrained The Canadian young man who would go to war is being required first to secure in writing the con sent of his wife. Without this precious document no married man is permitted to cast his lot with the British army and go forth in quest of adventure and the glories of war. This is a wise measure. It indicates that the Canadian government is more solicitous as to the welfare of wives and children than are many husbands and fathers. In the last stages of a great racial struggle, of course, it might be well enough to take every available man—and force to go those who showed no will ingness. But the head of a fam ily who would rush off at the first beating of the drums should be restrained. He may not be need ed.
