EMPIRE DEFENCE.
IN CASE OF DANGER. CANADA WILL AID BUITAIN. United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph Copyright. OTTAWA, January 7. Sir Wilfrid Laurier, Prime Minister of Canada, in the course of an address at Toronto, said he could not believe that Britain was in danger, but if Britain were strongly pressed there would be a wave of sentiment all over Canada to go to the succour of th.9 Old Land. Sir Wilfrid Laurier said he was unaware of what was at the back of the Kaiser's head. He might be preparing war, but, if true to his own words, and remembering that blood was thicker than water, Sir Wilfrid did not believe that he intended to attack the family from which he had sprung. When France humiliated Germany, continue the speaker, alliance save her. He could conceive Germany having a score against France, because French armies had over ridden the Fatherland. British policy in the past would not he forthe German people. Nevertheless, added the Canadian, Premier, British naval supremacy was essential to the security of commerce, and was a pledge to the world for the good of the world.
