NO FINER SPECTACLE

President Poiireore, at I lie dinner at the Elysee to tho King, thus referred to the responso oE the dominions to the call of the Mother Country"She realised at once that hostilities would be long, and would demand of the British Empire the gradual formation of a powerful Army and the creation ot enormous quantities of material. _ lno enbrmousness of tho task did not frighten iier at oil'. She called to the work all her dominions and all her colonies, and from one end of the world to the other a cry of iovc was the reply. Ido not know of a finer spectacle than that ot peoples scattered over the face of the earth rising at the samo moment and with the same spirit in order to fly to tho aid of the Mother Country,. _ What n noble recompense hns the spirit of liberty which has always inspired the administraion of the British Empire received in this universal fidelity < tolarged by all these contingents, tho armies of Great Britain have, during the whole of the war, gained in experience and improved their tactics of warfare and have paved tho way by more and more striking successes for that marvellous series of victories which have compelled the enemy to solicit an armistice."
