ONLY WAY TO VICTORY 8. "STICK TO THE TRiJPS FlGRTIIC SO CALUNTIV. BRITAIN'S PRESENT DUTY It took us two yeaet to begin. We have got from the beginning stage, and we are now in the middle stage. Don't ask when the end will be. Let us centre our thoughts and efforts on the middle, and the end will look after iteelf.—Sir William Kobertaon, Chief of the Imperial Staff. Sir William Robertson was speaking at a dinner given on Wednesday night at the Savoy Hotel by the Canada Club to the Duke of Devonshire, the Governor-General Designate of the Dominion. Sir Grorge i Perley, the Tligli Commiesioitier of the: Dominion, presided over a distinguished gathering, which included, in addition to the Chief of Staff, the First Lord of the Admiralty, Mr. Bonar Law, Eari Grey, Mr. Walter Long, and the Lord Mayor. Mr. Balfour, responding to the toast of the naval forces, said nothing that the Navy could do would produce in Canada the magnificent Imperial patriotism which she had shown during the present war. It is not," he continued, the business of the Navy to prod uce loyalty to the great Imperial ideal. The Navy is not political, and it is not the business of the Navy to carry on a propaganda for any cause. But what would have been the value of the magnificent, self-sacrificing and patriotic i loyalty of the Canadians and the other) self-governing Dominions, had it not been' for the Navy ? When the Empire is made the Navy provides for its continuance, and makes ite. existence possible. (Cheers.) J STILL RULING THE WAVES. It is indeed a most moving and splendid result of this war that communi- ties so far apart should have fought for a. common ideal. But how could the^e ideals i be carried out if it were not that, through long years of peace, the strenuous labours of the Navy hnd perfected our maritime forces, which provided the union he- tween all the scattered elements of this; great Empire? (Cheers.) It can only be because the British Fleet still rules the seas. (Loud cheers.) Let us not forget that, what has made the gallant deeds of the Canadian troops possible—and what has made it possible for the Canadian divisions to fight in l,rance-- I is the Navy, and the Navy alone. (Cheers.) You do not read much about the Navy in the newspapers, but it is always on duty. (Cheers.) It takes precedence, be- cause it is on the Navy—and the Navy alone-that all the historic triumphs of the British Army depend, and never was this! more true than when the British Army i? playing a great part in the gigantic! struggle which is being waged for the' peace, freedom, And security of the world." (Cheers.) ONLY WAY TO VICTORY. Sir William Robertson, who responded for the Army, said that the less a soldier talked the better. (Laughter and cheers.) You will," continued Sir William, "expect me to say something in recogni- tion of the great efforts which Canada has made. All the. prophets who prophesied i before the war were wrong—(laughter )—as j they usually are. (Cheers.) I shall not attempt to dwell upon what Canada has done, and I do not desire to use words of fulsome praise for men who have, after all, only done their duty. But I must remind you that, within two months of the outbreak of war the first Canadian Division was ready. (Cheers.) In the succeeding April it was fighting at Ypres, and we all remember how well it fought beside the remnants of the splendid force which went out at the beginning of, the war, and beside divisions which had been scraped together of Territorials and other units. What they did then is a matter of history. It was a time of general anxiety, but we never lost confirlenc,(cheers)- and at Festubert and St. Eloi we bad proof that our confidence was not misplaced. (Cheers.) The thanks of the Empire are due to the peoples of Canada and to the Minister of Defence for what they have done. As regards the military situation, I have no news to give you. I think the country and the Empire ought to be more than satisfied with what the Army has achieved." Sir William then made the statement quoted above, and continued:, "The enemy can be beaten in one, and i only one, way-and that is by hard fight-1 iug. If we stick to the troops which are fighting so gallantly for us, with God's help we may, look forward to such a peace as we have said we mean to have." (Cheers. )

KINDS OF RHEUMATISM. I In popular language the word Then- matism is a term which covers a multi- tude of ills, of which pain is the chief symptom. Articular rheumatism, inflammatory rheumatism, and rheumatic fever are all names for the same disease. Muscular rheumatism affects the and does not spread from one spot to another like inflammatory rheumatism. Lumbago is a form of muscular Rheumatism. Some people have rheumatism every autumn or winter, especially those people who inherit a rheumatic tendency. They will continue to have reenrring attacks until the blood is Quilt up to a strength sufficient to over oom e the rheumatic poison. External applications and drugs that simply relieve the pain are useless. On the other hand, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills build up the blood and really cor- rect the trouble. With poison in the blood there. is a continual combat between the health forcos and the disease. When the rheu- matic poisons prevail, the blood gets thin rapidly. When the blood is made rich and red by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills the Poisons are destroyed and expelled. Begin a course of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pjale People without delay. Your dealer sells them, but be careful to ask for Dr. Williams'. FREE.—Send for the free Health Guide, which explains much more aliout rheumatism.
