McCabe. licfore introducing the speaker, the chair- man cullml on tfoloncl Cnulphell, who gave it brief address, in which he stated that Sergt. Knight had come to endeavour to impress upon the people oi' (‘ilarlottcfowl\ thc tremendous lm- portanre of the prcsellt crisis and to urge all young men, without exception. to cnlist in preparation for the strug- gle which is to come. “Prince Ed- ward lslnud," hc said, “at thc present moment. is asked to raise one com- plctc bzlitalloll. Somewhat more than 400 men have offcrcli fllcniselves. Siunlcy Bridge, Clifton.

The chairman. in introducing Sergt.
Knight. said that the time was past for speaking, and there should he a splendid response when they looked on thc two men who were on the plat- form, sufferlng because they had been wounded in fighting our battles. in introducing Sergt. Knight he wished to say that the Scrgt. had been a plie- nomenal recruiter in other places and was on his way to go under the care and treatment of a skilful surgeon. Ho then extended to the visitor " the welcome that evcry British heart gives to t.hc llcro when he comes back to tell his tale." (Chcers.).
Sergt. Knight was greeted with tre-
mendous eclat and his address was marked by frequent outbursts of ap- plause. He said that as the chairman had very properly remarked. the time had gone by for more talking ; it was time for action. He lied been doing recruiting work for three months and Ito would tell them candidly that be was sick of lt. disgusted with some of 'the men he had mot. He did not think

Scrgt. Knight went on to tell of his
experiences in Belgium. stating that wonlcn whose husbands and older sons had all been wounded or killed, were frequently seen to take their 17- yeur-old boys and publicly dedicate them to the army, thus making an in- t-.alculablc sacrifice. Had not the mothers of Canada tho same bravery and spirit of patriotic sacrifice as those Belgian women? Ile asked, or had they become so rooted in .selfish- ness, false pride, succcss and pros- perity that they could not collslder the needs of the other fellow? ln one place hc saw some half-n-dozen babies hung up on hooks in a shack after the lunllncr of slaughtered hogs, with o 'bayonet in each throat. A German philosopher and man of “ kultur" had written, “ the women are for the re- frcntiou of the warriors." In view of such a teaching they could well under- stand the German atrocities which had wrecked the homes of brave little Bel- gium. Tile men who could go to the front to avenge these outraged people and did not go, did not want to go. lf u man wanted to go the way was open for him. The mothers could not keep them back. If a man `wanted a drink he would not consult his mother in the_matter! The man who left his mother out of his confidence was mak- ing a great mistake; but the young man who allowed her to hold him back from doing his duty was an equal sinner with her-because they were committing a sin of selfishness. ‘ Sergt Knight‘s address throughout was impressive and could notffail to deeply affect the audience. At. the close he called for recruits and the young men 'above-named responded. Doubtless others will follow as ere- ‘sult ol' the appeal. The meeting closed ‘with the National Anthem and three cheers for the King.
