Mr A. P, Seymour, in a characteristic speech at the Anzac commemoration meeting in Pictou, referred to Xcw Zealand as a little speck of the Empire making history. He said it was a happy thought that coined the word "Anzae," which would be handed down to posterity in memory of the glorious deeds of the New Zealanders on Gallipoli. In making reference to the fact that America had joined the Allies, Mr Seymour said it was the best news they could possibly have heard, and if the war lasted another year, she would be a power of strength iu the conflict. However, he hoped for the end of the war this year, and that the men who had given their lives on Gallipoli would rest in peace—in full realisation of the fact_ that "It is a sweet and glorious thing to die for one's country!"
