NEWS OF THE WEEK.

" I send this message to tell every man how much we, the women of the British Empire at home, watch and pray for you during the long hours of these days of stress and endurance. Our pride in you is immeasurable, our hope unbounded, our trust absolute. . . . You are offering your all. You hold back nothing, and day by day you Chow a love so great that no man can have greater." The men are offering their all—and the women are giving the lives they hold most sear. The Queen's message from British wives and mothers is wholly admirable in its unaffected sincerity. Its conclusion mpresses, in six words, the pledge and motto of all home-stayers- ' We too will do our beat."
