May 21, the peoples of the Uritish Commonwealth of Na tions gather together in all parts of the world to celebrate the birthday of Victoria the Good and to rejoice in their common heritage as citizens of the greatest empire of democ racies the world has ever known. The birthday of the Queen has become the birthday of Empire and in the years of peace British subjects looked forward to meeting on that day, to rejoice in their com mon ideals as free peoples and their comnjon purpose for Lib erty nnd Justice first conceived near London City by the River Thames on Magna Charta Day, June 15, )2Vt. The first Empire Day of the Great War saw rallying to the cause on the fields of Flanders, in the deserts of .Mesopo tamia, nt Gallipoli, in South Africa, in the North Sen. the hosts of Britain nnd the hosts of Britinn's sons. They had come from the hill tribes in India, from the wheat fields in Cnnnda, from the Australian bush, and the veldts of South Africa, from New Zealand, from every far-flung outpost of the British Empire. They came as volunteers. They had been celebrating on Empire i imi me empire stood for, and they were now come to fight and offer their lives thnt their idenls should pre- ...... ouiciy uicrc was never such a rallying in all history. So Empire Day is the Na tional Day wherever the Union Jack flies and wherever British people can come together in their common brotherhood now made more sacred, more en during, by their common sacri. fice. It was Saxon nnd Norman after Hastings. It was Scot and Celt nnd Saxon at Water loo. It was the British Fleet that went out in the North Sea to Jutland. It was the men of the British Empire who stood together at Ypres to save civl zation. Canadians, Austra linns, South Africans.Ncw-Zea-landers, English, Scotch, Irish nnd Welsh. They were men of Britain. They were sons of Empire. They gnve their all. Let us think of them on Em pire Dny: they have hallowed It nnd made it holy. They held on through the yenrs till America came.
