Excerpt from The Issues of the War Canada to offer their services under another flag. It is not for that reason that of these young men are now fighting for the Allies on the Von Hindenberg line. It is not for that reason that thousands more have been succoring the wounded behind the lines in France. It is not for that reason that an American Commission has been devoting its time, its strength and its energy towards succoring enslaved and starving Belgium. Ah! No, my friends, desire for vengeance is not the impelling motive of American action. There is a far deeper cause than that for our sympathy with one side in this great struggle. It is because we realize that upon the battlefields of Europe there is at stake the future of the free institutions of this world.
