These additional imports were
moved into this country by foreign
ranks. 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
