THE ENDS OF THE EARTH.

jSomo idea of the wide appeal which the allied cause is making to the sympathies of English-speaking men the world over is obtainable from any day’s list of casualties in the British papers. These show that to-day practically every regiment in the British Army has a number of Americans fighting in its ranks, to say nothing of many Canadians, Australians, South Africans, and Xew Zealanders, from the Crown Colonies have come knots of men who have generally been absorbed into one of the line regiments. The Royal Fusiliers have taken many colonials; the King’s Royal Rifles have taken each successive draft of men from I' iji, besides others from Rhodesia, Zululand, Xatal, and British Guiana. The men from Bermuda went into the Lincolnshire Regiment, and many Canadians and Americans into the Devons and Liverpool Regiment (The King's). One list of a dozen casualties in the Highland Light Horse included men from Oporto (Portugal), United Stales, Trinidad, and, of course, Glasgow. Eight inches cut at random from a general list of various British regiments included men from Pretoria, Rangoon, West Australia, Maine, United Stales of America, Mussoorie, India, Massachnssets (A.S. A.), South Boston, Toronto, Xew York, Huelva (Spain), Kroonstadf (South Africa), Queensland, Bendigo, Montreal, and California.
