LOOK ON THIS PICTURE AND ON THAT.
BATTLES IN EUROPE: BACKS IN AUSTRALIA. "I wonder," said Mr. Denison Miller, governor of the Commonwealth Bank, a few days ago, "how many minds in Svdney are to-day occupied ill makim: tho obvious contrast—our lot and that of those who aro lighting for our very existence! One cannot think that the holiday crowds are as heedless of their fate as thoy appear. They must know that civilisation is trembling in the balance, that tho flower of oun race is standing to the death in that battlo lino of agony, which preserves us from tho foulest enemy -that over bore the form of man. In Franco thoy aro rushing up evevr man that can bo thrown iuto tho line. "In New South Wales every wheel on tho railways is turning to bring the crowds to the Easter carnival in Sydney. Six .trains of pleasure-seekers arrived from Melbourne to-day.
"It is a contrast we cannot escapo from. How can anyone who pauses to think regard such a comparison? There is a recklessness about it all that is appalling in tho face of our national danger. Tho Commonwealth is calling .for money, and must have it. It is necessary for the safety of the people. Lot us follow tho example of Canada, where practically every family, not absolutely destitute, was represented by a war bond in the last loan. Tho time has como to face the fact 6." •
