THE WAR AND AFTER. 



Tile war and all its eonseqiK^ifes 

 must be accepted. At the same time 

 we must not forget that tliei-e will be 

 a time when the war will be over, and 

 then, as in the pa.st, we desire the 

 nation to go on with the greatest 

 amount of prosperity possible. For- 

 ests have been burned in Europe as a 

 terrible necessity of war, but they 

 were prol)ably not one-tenth part so 

 hirge or so valuable as the forests 

 which have been l)urned in North 

 America because of the terrible care- 

 lessness of peace. Whatever strain 

 the war puts on citizens, we must not 

 let go our hold on those ba.sal things 

 on which not only the wrll-bfing, but 

 even the very b( incj of the nation and 

 of the world depends. No matter 

 what happens, it will not do any good 

 to so badly till our fields that they 

 will produce less, or to so neglect our 

 forests that they will bui-n down. All 

 our civic, provincial, and national in- 

 stitutions must be maintained in full 

 vioror
