*To Arms!*

*By Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.*

Is it possible that there are still some of our people who do not
understand the causes of this war, and are ignorant of the great stakes
at issue which will speedily have so important a bearing upon the lives
of each and all of them? It is hard to believe it, and yet it is so
stated by some who profess to know. Let me try, in the shortest space
and in the clearest words that I can command, to lay before them both
the causes and the possible effects, and to implore them now, now, at
this very moment, before it is too late, to make those efforts and
sacrifices which the occasion demands. In Germany, every man from the
ages of sixteen to fifty-five is with the colors. The last man has been
called up. And yet we hear--we could not bear to see--that young
athletic men in this country are playing football or cricket, while our
streets are full of those who should be in our camps. All our lives have
been but a preparation for this supreme moment. All our future lives
will be determined by how we bear ourselves in these few months to come.
Shame, shame on
