Thine ageless forces do not cease To mould us as of yore, The chiselling of the arts of peace, The anvil-strokes of war. Then bird our realms in brotherhood, Firm laws and equal rights, Let each uphold the Empire's good In freedom that unites; And make that speech whose thunders roll Down the broad stream of time, The harbinger from pole to pole Of love and peace sublime. Lord, turn the hearts of cowards who prate, Afraid to dare or spend, The doctrine of a narrower State More easy to defend ; Not this the watchword of our sires Who breathed with ocean's breath. Not this our spirit's ancient fires, Which nought could quench but death. �Strong are we? Make us stronger yet ; Great? Make us greater fret, Our crown the polar star ; Round Earth's wild coasts our batteries speak, Our highway is the main, We stand as guardian of the weak, We burst the oppressor's chain. Great God, uphold us in' our task, Keep pure and clean our rule, Silence the honeyed words which mask The wisdom of the fool. The pillars of the world are Thine ; Pour down Thy bounteous grace, And make illustrious and divine The spectre of our race.

These events followed an ultimatum from Germany to Russia on July 31, demanding demobilization. On the same day Sir Edward Grey had demanded of Germany and France if they would respect Belgium neutrality, so long as no other power violated it. France gave a definite pledge. Germany made no reply. Instead of that, she invaded Belgium, the Chancellor declaring that "we are now in a state of necessity- and necessity knowing no law. We were compelled to override the just pretext of the Luxemburg and Belgian Governments. The wrong- I speak openly-that we are committing, we will endeavor to make good as soon as our military goal has been reached. Anybody who is threatened as we are thretened can have only one thought- how he is to hack his way through." The British Government gave Germany a second chance, sending an ultimatum requiring withdrawal from Belgium, and the same pladge that France had given to respect Belgian neutrality. This reached Berlin at 7 p.m. Aug. 4, Germany being given until midnight to accept. Instead the German Government at once announced that Britain had declared war. Britain actually did so at 11 p.m. that night- midnight German time. </div> <div class="mw-parser-output"> {1916 is written at the top of a blank page that covers most of the text, making it hard to understand the text} </div> <div class="mw-parser-output"> Fri Mar 31.

Thine ageless forces do not cease To mould us as of yore, The chiselling of the arts of peace, The anvil-strokes of war. Then bird our realms in brotherhood, Firm laws and equal rights, Let each uphold the Empire's good In freedom that unites; And make that speech whose thunders roll Down the broad stream of time, The harbinger from pole to pole Of love and peace sublime. Lord, turn the hearts of cowards who prate, Afraid to dare or spend, The doctrine of a narrower State More easy to defend ; Not this the watchword of our sires Who breathed with ocean's breath. Not this our spirit's ancient fires, Which nought could quench but death. Strong are we? Make us stronger yet ; Great? Make us greater fret, Our crown the polar star ; Round Earth's wild consts our batteries speak, Our highway is the main, We stand as guardian of the weak, We burst the oppressor's chain. Great God, uphold us in' our task, Keep pure and clean our rule, Silence the honeyed words which mask The wisdom of the fool. The pillars of the world are Thine ; Pur down Thy bounteous grace, And make illustrious and divine The spectre of our race. <pre> Fredrick George Scott </pre> By Permission of the Author </div> UG Transcription Progress Scripto transcription progress Done transcribed https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/4c0dbf5012f7229371b1a544697f3ff8.pdf 4c99495bbb875acb0acfdbb8d323f4a5 PDF Text Text �� https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/dc6d424ca3980fadccd849717dd17827.pdf 8f7c2be6bef7206f00174219b14dd651 PDF Text Text Mary Agnes “Aggie” Cooper (1877 - 1964) 1917 Transcribed by Rural Diary Archive volunteers 1917 "And the little brown dog did not even say Excuse me, ma'am, as he scampered away; But I'm sure as can be his greatest joy Is just to trot behind that boy."

Where-e'er our wand'-ring sons may roam, Bri - tan - nia guards the o - cean And, safe, a - broad they all may fare, When - e'er they take the no - tion: For this let's thank our jol - ly tars Whose cour - age nev - er fails, And best of all who sail the blue Is gal-lant George of Wales. {Sheet music ends here} CHORUS: Welcome, O son of the King ! List to the song that we sing. Hail, gallant son of the ocean ! List to the song that we sing ! Glory and power attend thee, Thrice noble son of the King. Joyfully now we acclaim thee, Loud let the welkin ring ! Proudly and gladly we greet thee, Welcome, O son of the King ! 2 The men who sail the briny deep, Maintaing Britain's glory, Have rais'd the flag in ev'ry clime- Full well we know the story: They count no cost, but straightway go Wherever duty hails, And the noblest Prince who sails the seas Is gallant George of Wales. 3 The soldier bold in every land Is honored by his nation ; In war he nobly plays his part, Whatever be his station ; But on the deas we have no peers, And not a nation fails To envy us such a sailor men As gallant George of Wales.

A perfect blizzard of snow was fall-ing on Lake Michigan last night. === ACROSS THE LINE. === Washington, D.C., Jan. 21. - A warm wave which scores the highest record in temperature for this time of the year since 1890 pevailed thruout the region between the Mississippi Valley and the Atlantic coast. Its crest was in Ohio, where the temperature this afternoon ranged from 70 to 74 degrees. South of the Ohio River it was less warm be-cause of heavy rains and showers. Thunder storms also prevailed in Ten-nessee, Mississippi, Alabama and Northwest Georgia. A cold wave which developed in the west is rapidly following the warm wave, and the forecasts say it will reach the Atlantic coast Monday night, but its force will be diminished as it progresses east. Weather officals announce that the fall of the temperatures will approiximate 40 degrees in the region just west of the Mississippi River and north of the Missouri, while it will go lower in the Dakotas, Minnesota, Nebraska and the middle Rocky Mountain region. In the Ohio valley the temperature to - day about equaled all previous records and in a few places exceeded them. In Washington to-day the weather was spring-like, with a maximum tempera-ture of 63 degrees, which, however, is much lower than the January record. In Parkersburg, W.Va., the tempera-ture, 74 degrees, was the highest ever recorded at this season by the weather bureau.

No news travels in the Don Valley like news of a bee tree. But it does not travel often in January. In a few minutes the big tree was down. It was a shelf - four inchs of a rim of wood and the rest hollow. When the tree came down it broke near the top, right at the bees' quarters. They came out in thousands. One of the club members with a speedily-ontrived mask made of a bag and wire boldly advanced, and with gloves on his hands filled one of the big pails with the finest pure clover comb honey in a few seconds. As much and more honey was smashed on the ground among the snow and cedar twigs. A length of the trunk a yar long broke off above where the honey was found. This was rolled out, another pailful was taken from it. and as this was being done someone with a camera snapped the incident. A third pail was partly filled. Not less than a hundred pounds of honey was in the tree. It was of the finest quality. The bees were large specimens of the Italian variety. Some people imagine that the bees of the bee trees of the bush are wild bees-on the contrary they are in nearly every case the regular domesticated Italian bee that had swarmed off from some farmer's hives. The disgrace that had come to the club ten days ago by allowing Chris Stong, the coon hunter from the Humber, to despoil a bee tree in their own valley had been repaired once again had these simple folk of the Don Valley over a hundred pounds of honey was taken out of a bee tree in the third week of January, when the temperature was above 60 degrees. and when the river was running a great flood thru the flats.

Instead of the snow and the cold which it had been intended to bring along to end the con-tinued January thaw, there came forth a day that the merry month of May need not have been ashamed of. It wasn't in Toronto alone, either, as re-ports show. In the Middle Western and Eastern States the spring feeling was everywhere, and the mercury ran up in the 70's. It was, however, very cold in the Northwest provinces and in the Yukon. The developement of a depression over the Gulf of Mexico, which is moving toward lake re-gion, kept the weather very mild from the lake region to the maritime pro-vinces, accompanied by a few showers. Minimum and maximum tempera-tures recorded at the observatory are: Dawson, 64 below - 60 below; Atlin, 48 below - 36 below; Victoria, 28 - 44; Cal - gary, 32 below - 10 below; Battleford, 38 below - 24 below; Qu'Appelle, 24 below - 14 below; Winnipeg, 10 below - 4 below; Port Arthur, 10 - 20; Toronto, 40 - 56; Ot-tawa, 24 - 48; Montreal, 36 - 44; Quebec, 18 - 36; Halifax, 10 - 44. And while Toronto is billed to shiv-er and stamp its feet tonight or to-morrow, around the city yesterday some of the unusual sights of a Janu-ary 21 were: Canoeing on the bay, Yachting on the lake, Ice boating on Ashbridge's Bay, Caterpillars, Bees, Crowds of promenaders on the beaches to east and west of the city. Hyacinths and rosebuds showing themselves. === Where Extremes Meet. === At the foot of Woodbine avenue, to the south, on the placid bosom of old Ontario, many sailing and steam craft were visible, filled by genial young folks, attired in light costume. In Ashbridge's bay, just north of Coats-worth's Cut, iceboats flitted hither and thither on the icebound surface. On the Woodbine track a dog had hard work to negotiate the muddy strech, while, on the high verandahs facing Woodbine Park, in a temperature of 56 degrees, gentlemen in the bosom of their families smoked their fragrant Havanas to the accompaniment of humming mosquitoes, basking in the sunshine. To the rear of the houses hollyhocks were commencing to Lud again. A score of boats containing ladies and gentlemen sailed from the Humber across to Sunnyside. They partook of ice cream and spent several hours on the beach. Hundreds of people crowd-ed the sidewalks and scores were sit-ting around on the sand. The Hum-ber was fairly alive with boats. On the bay canoeing was a novel January recreation, and Toronto Canoe Club members who enjoyed the sport included: Frank Woodley, H E Saun-ders, Gray Howitt, George Spencer, Hugh Rose, Bert Giles, Arthur Et-well, C McHardy, D Nasmith, Bill Gowland and A Cadieux. The first two from the club to sail a canoe in 1906 were Gray Howitt and H. E.

The first two from the club to sail a canoe in 1900 were Gray Howitt and H. E. Saunders. === Some Curiosities. === A gentleman brought in to The World office a lively full-grown caterpillar, one of several which he saw on McGill- street and on Howland-avenue. Another said he had heard and seen bees in the northwest section of the city. Another heard of a sparrow's nest with eggs being found. Detective Sergeant Duncan, removing straw from his rose bushes, found some budding. A Parkdale resident said he had hya-cinths "so high" (about an inch) above the ground. But no one had seen a robin. The rinks have suffered this season. Up to Saturday. The Granite had been open only ten times this season and re-ceipts are $7000 behind last year; and other rinks have similar hard luck tales. There has been only one-quarter the curling and a fraction of the usual hockey. The toboggan slide at High Park, for which such elaborate prepa-ration was made, has had no usage. For winter records have been badly broken this season in the city, and yes-terday was only a climax which to-day may seem as tho a dream. The temperature Sunday went up to 56 degrees above zero, the mildest it has been in the month of January since 1876, when 57.5 degrees was registered. In 1874 the thermometer went to exact-ly the same, but that was the first time on record since 1840. === Zero Coming. === The "warn wave" should pass the lakes abotu 6 o'clock this evening, and by morning the cold wave, which is gradually coming down from the west, should strike Toronto, and in all prob-ability it will be excessively cold by the middle of the week.

The election may be over before the end of next week, the last con-test being set for January 26.

Yesterday Detective Guthrie visited a boathouse at the Don and arrested John Raines, 8 Percy-street, as the party supposed to have done the stealing. With Raines in the boathouse was John Barry, whom Guthrie was looking for on the charge of stealing thriteen chickens and a duck from Thomas Storey, 13 Water - street. He took him in also.

A perfect blizzard of snow was fall-ing on Lake Michigan last night. <h3>ACROSS THE LINE.</h3> Washington, D.C., Jan. 21. - A warm wave which scores the highest record in temperature for this time of the year since 1890 pevailed thruout the region between the Mississippi Valley and the Atlantic coast. Its crest was in Ohio, where the temperature this afternoon ranged from 70 to 74 degrees. South of the Ohio River it was less warm be-cause of heavy rains and showers. Thunder storms also prevailed in Ten-nessee, Mississippi, Alabama and Northwest Georgia. A cold wave which developed in the west is rapidly following the warm wave, and the forecasts say it will reach the Atlantic coast Monday night, but its force will be diminished as it progresses east. Weather officals announce that the fall of the temperatures will approiximate 40 degrees in the region just west of the Mississippi River and north of the Missouri, while it will go lower in the Dakotas, Minnesota, Nebraska and the middle Rocky Mountain region. In the Ohio valley the temperature to - day about equaled all previous records and in a few places exceeded them. In Washington to-day the weather was spring-like, with a maximum tempera-ture of 63 degrees, which, however, is much lower than the January record. In Parkersburg, W.Va., the tempera-ture, 74 degrees, was the highest ever recorded at this season by the weather bureau. </div> <div class="mw-parser-output">{newspaper clipping?} Srong. No news travels in the Don Valley like news of a bee tree. But it does not travel often in January. In a few minutes the big tree was down. It was a shelf - four inchs of a rim of wood and the rest hollow. When the tree came down it broke near the top, right at the bees' quarters. They came out in thousands. One of the club members with a speedily-ontrived mask made of a bag and wire boldly advanced, and with gloves on his hands filled one of the big pails with the finest pure clover comb honey in a few seconds. As much and more honey was smashed on the ground among the snow and cedar twigs. A length of the trunk a yar long broke off above where the honey was found. This was rolled out, another pailful was taken from it. and as this was being done someone with a camera snapped the incident. A third pail was partly filled. Not less than a hundred pounds of honey was in the tree. It was of the finest quality. The bees were large specimens of the Italian variety. Some people imagine that the bees of the bee trees of the bush are wild bees-on the contrary they are in nearly every case the regular domesticated Italian bee that had swarmed off from some farmer's hives. The disgrace that had come to the club ten days ago by allowing Chris Stong, the coon hunter from the Humber, to despoil a bee tree in their own valley had been repaired once again had these simple folk of the Don Valley over a hundred pounds of honey was taken out of a bee tree in the third week of January, when the temperature was above 60 degrees. and when the river was running a great flood thru the flats. The bee tree touched the flood with its tops when it came down. Among those who assisted in thus fore-stalling Chris Stong in robbing a Don Val-ley bee tree were Archie Bruce.

Instead of the snow and the cold which it had been intended to bring along to end the con-tinued January thaw, there came forth a day that the merry month of May need not have been ashamed of. It wasn't in Toronto alone, either, as re-ports show. In the Middle Western and Eastern States the spring feeling was everywhere, and the mercury ran up in the 70's. It was, however, very cold in the Northwest provinces and in the Yukon. The developement of a depression over the Gulf of Mexico, which is moving toward lake re-gion, kept the weather very mild from the lake region to the maritime pro-vinces, accompanied by a few showers. Minimum and maximum tempera-tures recorded at the observatory are: Dawson, 64 below - 60 below; Atlin, 48 below - 36 below; Victoria, 28 - 44; Cal - gary, 32 below - 10 below; Battleford, 38 below - 24 below; Qu'Appelle, 24 below - 14 below; Winnipeg, 10 below - 4 below; Port Arthur, 10 - 20; Toronto, 40 - 56; Ot-tawa, 24 - 48; Montreal, 36 - 44; Quebec, 18 - 36; Halifax, 10 - 44. And while Toronto is billed to shiv-er and stamp its feet tonight or to-morrow, around the city yesterday some of the unusual sights of a Janu-ary 21 were: Canoeing on the bay, Yachting on the lake, Ice boating on Ashbridge's Bay, Caterpillars, Bees, Crowds of promenaders on the beaches to east and west of the city. Hyacinths and rosebuds showing themselves. <h3>Where Extremes Meet.</h3> At the foot of Woodbine avenue, to the south, on the placid bosom of old Ontario, many sailing and steam craft were visible, filled by genial young folks, attired in light costume. In Ashbridge's bay, just north of Coats-worth's Cut, iceboats flitted hither and thither on the icebound surface. On the Woodbine track a dog had hard work to negotiate the muddy strech, while, on the high verandahs facing Woodbine Park, in a temperature of 56 degrees, gentlemen in the bosom of their families smoked their fragrant Havanas to the accompaniment of humming mosquitoes, basking in the sunshine. To the rear of the houses hollyhocks were commencing to Lud again. A score of boats containing ladies and gentlemen sailed from the Humber across to Sunnyside. They partook of ice cream and spent several hours on the beach. Hundreds of people crowd-ed the sidewalks and scores were sit-ting around on the sand. The Hum-ber was fairly alive with boats. On the bay canoeing was a novel January recreation, and Toronto Canoe Club members who enjoyed the sport included: Frank Woodley, H E Saun-ders, Gray Howitt, George Spencer, Hugh Rose, Bert Giles, Arthur Et-well, C McHardy, D Nasmith, Bill Gowland and A Cadieux. The first two from the club to sail a canoe in 1906 were Gray Howitt and H. E. Saunders. <h3>Some Curiosities</h3> A gentleman brought in to The World </div> <div class="mw-parser-output">morrow, around the city yesterday some of the unusual sights of a Janu-ary 21 were: Canoeing on the bay, Yachting on the lake, Ice boating on Ashbridge's Bay, Caterpillars, Bees, Crowds of promenaders on the beaches to east and west of the city.

On the bay canoeing was a novel January recreation, and Toronto Canoe Club members who enjoyed the sport included: Frank Woodley, H E Saun-ders, Gray Howitt, George Spencer, Hugh Rose, Bert Gilles, Arthur Et-well, C McHardy, D Nasmith, Bill Gowland and A Cadieux. The first two from the club to sail a canoe in 1900 were Gray Howitt and H. E. Saunders. <h3>Some Curiosities.</h3> A gentleman brought in to The World office a lively full-grown caterpillar, one of several which he saw on McGill- street and on Howland-avenue. Another said he had heard and seen bees in the northwest section of the city. Another heard of a sparrow's nest with eggs being found. Detective Sergeant Duncan, removing straw from his rose bushes, found some budding. A Parkdale resident said he had hya-cinths "so high" (about an inch) above the ground. But no one had seen a robin. The rinks have suffered this season. Up to Saturday. The Granite had been open only ten times this season and re-ceipts are $7000 behind last year; and other rinks have similar hard luck tales. There has been only one-quarter the curling and a fraction of the usual hockey. The toboggan slide at High Park, for which such elaborate prepa-ration was made, has had no usage. For winter records have been badly broken this season in the city, and yes-terday was only a climax which to-day may seem as tho a dream. The temperature Sunday went up to 56 degrees above zero, the mildest it has been in the month of January since 1876, when 57.5 degrees was registered. In 1874 the thermometer went to exact-ly the same, but that was the first time on record since 1840. <h3>Zero Coming.</h3> The "warn wave" should pass the lakes abotu 6 o'clock this evening, and by morning the cold wave, which is gradually coming down from the west, should strike Toronto, and in all prob-ability it will be excessively cold by the middle of the week. The cold wave from the northwest was due here some <h3>Continued on Page 2.</h3></div> <div class="mw-parser-output">{Newspaper Clipping} 29C. or #9C.

Yesterday Detective Guthrie visited a boathouse at the Don and arrested John Raines, 8 Percy-street, as the party supposed to have done the stealing. With Raines in the boathouse was John Barry, whom Guthrie was looking for on the charge of stealing thriteen chickens and a duck from Thomas Storey, 13 Water - street. He took him in also. Guthrie also arrested Castro Youen, 23 Eastern - avenue, whom he found with a quantity of brass supposed to have been stolen from a railroad car at the foot of George - street. <h3>Small Boy Arrested</h3>For some time James Millen, boots and shoes, 580 College - street, has been annoyed by a number petty thefts committed by a gang of boys. Last night George McGraw, age 13, was arrested as being one of the crowd. <h3>His Foot Crushed</h3>James Bunyan, 43 Simcoe - street, while working in the G. T.
