Transcript
  • [start of clipping] THE PRICE OF EMPIRE [line drawing of Canadian flag] Once more the sons of Canada have paid the price of Empire with their blood. Today's lengthy casualty list tells a grim story, but after all it is a record of devotion to duty unto death. This is a time when the need is for courage and fortitude. We must mourn for the brave lads who have paid the supreme sacrifice. But let us remember and be proud that they died in the noble cause of Justice, Liberty and Right; went down with faces to the sun. Once again our citizen volunteer soldiers have met and matched the trained conscripts of Prussia. They have taught the world what Ypres and Festubert made known that men of Canada would rather be acquainted with death than dishonor. Today an empire stands uncovered at their deeds.
