GRAVE MOMENT IN EMPIRE'S HISTORY
OTTAWA, September 18. (Received September 19, at 11.15 a.m.) Lord Tweedsmuir, addressing the Canadian Legion, said he considered the moment as grave as any in the history of the Empire. “ It is grave,” he said, “ because the war we have entered has a serious purpose and a more motnentous purpose than any ot the older wars when we fought for security, defence of territory, balance of power, or similar reasons. We have entered this war for the preservation of those spiritual values which alone make life worth living.”
