SACRED CAUSE
CALI, TO MODERN CRUSADE. Reviving the spirit, of the crusades in a message addressed to members of the Royal Society of St George, the president. Lord Queenborough, writes: For year our country has strained every nerve and made every possible overture and concession, in an effort to remove sources of friction and avert the final catastrophe of war. All our efforts have been in vain. The enemy who confronts us now is an enemy as implacable and deadly to the souls and bodies of all free men as any of the barbarian hordes who swept across Europe after the collapse of the Roman Empire. The cause wo have now embraced is a cause as sacred as that which led our forefathers out upon the groat Crusades a thousand years ago. The spirit of Conor de Lion and St Louis, with whom, for our country and for France these prolonged and enormous military expeditions will for ever be associated, still survives in our midst.
