TRAFALOAR DEMONSTRATION
YESTERDAY IN CHARLOTTETOWN
tlvic - lialt-liohday tlitserved by Citizens. Grand
Military Parade by No. 2 Siege Battery and island infantry Unit. Speeches and _ Music _ on Square. Prince Street School Pupils Participate. .
Yesterday, the 110th anniversary of
Trafalgar, was observed in Charlotte- town with more than ordinary interest, in view of the peculiar significance of the occasion. In the first place, it was the day set aside, in response to the urgent appeal of Lord Lansdowne, President of the British Red Cross Society, for the prosecution of a special collection campaign in aid of the Society, whose funds have been seriously depleted since the 'outbreak of the war; and in order that an appeal might also be made to the young men of the province to come_ forward and enlist, a large meeting was held in the Square, for the pur- pose of which a half-holiday was pro- claimed by His Worship the Mayor, the Government extending the same privilege to the school children. At 2.30 the 2nd Siege Battery, under com- mand of Col. Peake, assembled at Brighton Camp and marched to the Drill Shed, where they were joined by the Infantry Company under com- mand of Col. Allen and Captain Campbell and, headed by the 82nd Regiment Band. paraded the principal streets, finally drawing up in the Mar- ket Square. A large crowd followed the parade. At the Square a magnifi- cent recruiting meeting was held in the presence of a large audience, Rev.
Peake and flapt. It. H. Campbell, whose appeals to the young men to do their duty were probably among the most forceful ever made and were immediately fruitful. Besides excel- lent selections by the Band, the young ladies of Prince Street School render- ed a number of patriotic songs, which lent a. pledsing variety to the pro- gramme and were highly appreciated. _Before calling on Colonel Peake to address the meeting, Dr Fullerton in- vited to the platform Gunner Stephen McKinnon, who returned home wound- od on Saturday night last. Gunner McKinnon, he said, deserved the posi- tion of honour, and no doubt his presence among them that afternoon
'would be an inspiration to the young
men and would induce them to realise their responsibility and to do their duty. Gunner McKinnon did not desire to address the audience, but ho requested Dr Fullerton to say for him, that in his heart there was a burning desire if he were able to do so, to return to France and continue to do his part to protect the freedom of the Empire. (Cheers) Ho then proposed three cheers for the hero, and the audience broke into tremendous ap- plause, while the band played _" He’s a Jolly Good Fellow." Dr Fullerton
.‘then called on Colonel Peake, who
Dr Fullerton presiding. » Eloquent “made a stirring appeal for recruits. _
such au extent," he said, " that is, I mean, the Battery, that we are apt to get swelled heads and to think wc are heroes; but we must disabuso our minds of that idea, for there is only one hero hero to-day, and that is our noble friend Gunner McKinnon, who has suffered in the performance of his duty to save our homes." (Ap- plause.) He went on to picture the conditions that would exist if this province were invaded. If the Ger- mans lauded in Summcrsidc. for in- stance, he said, and treated the con- vents, schools and old men and women the same as those of Belgium wore, what young man in Charlottetown would shirk the call to arms to defend this city from similar invasion? He did not think there would be a single man so base and cowardly in such an event. and yet there was a parallel case in Europe to-day, the only differ- _ence being that one was a little further away than the other. He quoted figures showing to what ex- tent the various religious denomina-
`tlons were represented in the Battery, _and stated that he understood that in some of_ the churches honour rolls were being prepared oi’ the men who were in khaki. I-le was of opinion that "Dishonour° Rolls" would be more effective. as they would show who
addresses were delivered by Colonel " We have been dined and wined to. (Continued on page two)

The Orange Lodges of Charlotte'
town united in giving a farewell ban- quet to the members-of No. 2 Siege Battery who are Orangsment last night in the Boyne Lodge Hall. There was a good turnout of the Orangemen. and about a dozen of the Boys enjoyed the members’ hospitality. _
The meeting was opened by Brother
Cresswell, who said they greatly ap- preciated this opportunity to entertain the members of the Orange Associa- tion of the Heavy Battery, and thought these members were teaching them a much-needed lesson and showing them a splendid example.
The chairman, Bro. G. D. Wright,
extended a hearty welcome to the members of the Orange Association of the Heavy Battery, who were about to leave on active service. It was their duty as brothers to hold up their hands and encourage them in every way in their power. -
Past Grand Master Cresswell gave
a brief address. He considered it a very great privilege and duty to wel- come their brethren snd to give their friends who were going to the front a little bit of s. good time. As the Master of St George's Lodge was not present he had been asked to take his Place. They had about 22 members who had gone to the front from St George s Lodge with the First Contin- Bent. He hoped they would all be Bllarsd to come back again to the old Lodge. -
Bro. Acom gave the Boys a welcome f"°lll B0Yne Lodge. It gave him great Pleasure to see so many members of No. 2 Siege Battery members of the Association. The Orange Association was the only Association where the first words of the obligation were the oath of realty to the sovereign of the fellllll. and for that reason Orangemen would be supposed to be equally as P“ll'I°¢lC. if not more so. than. any other mon. Speaking of the number gh Bllllble young men in the city, he_
Ollght the time would soon come
3/hen the call would be for men of his OW" B80- it was the duty of young l'l:llsement to show their colours. Ho W§rC0med the boys to Boyne Lodge.

speech said he was delighted to be with them. I-Ie had only been _in the city three weeks and this was the second chance he had had to speak words of congratulation' and God- speed to the Boys who were going to fight their battles. He would like to congratulate the Lodge on the splendid body of men who showed to the world that they were not jellyfish, spineless, backboneless people who were afraid of their lives in the cause of right. _They were not there because they were soldiers, they were soldiers because they were heroes. They had faced every possibility and still they wavered not in their determination. When he saw these soldiers marching that day he thought they were the grandest body of men that ever walk- ed those streets. He thought to him- self. when they get to Germany they will give the Germans beans. When the Germans met our Canadian boys face to face they would find that it was eagle against eagle and lion against lion. They were going to win laurels for this Island of ours. He wished them God-speed.
The chairman then called on Past
Grand Master the Rev. R. G. Fulton to present a number of handsome Bibles to the members of the No. 2 Siege Battery present.
Rév. R. G. Fulton. complying with
this request. said hc could not say a word of praise that was sufficiently SUOIIS. they could not pronounce a eulogy which was sufficiently worthy of their action. When they came within the borders of the Orange Lodge and talked to men wearing the uniform they were told that they were only doing what was expected of them. If any member was not doing his duty he was bringing stigma and shame on their order. It was nurtured and brought up in the_spirit of liberty. It gave him much pleasure to pre- sent each member with a copy of the Word of God. He had seen a Bible which had been punctured by a. Ger- man bullet-a dum-dum. The bullet had stopped at the gospel of St John. The owner had placed the book in his Docket and it had been the means of _saving his life. This Book would keep them from sin, 'or sin would keep them from it. All the Master asked was that B man be a msn. For gold- ance and instruction in manhood there was no book like the Word of God.
The followinlc members were pre-
sented with Bibles:-Bro. K. Mackay, St Georges Lodge; Bro; 0. Lane, Hwlwtt Lodse; Bro. Bartlett M. Meer. star cr. the mast Lodge; arc. Murdoch B. Hume. Chosen Few Lodge; Bro. Cor ral W. L. Jenkins,

words of thanks and spprcoistlqn for the gifts. Corporal Jenkins told of the performance he had under _ne on the prsvlcarnilht whoa he thohzht he had dropped _into I !|omst'| host instead of an Orange so

Servian Situation Very Critical. Russians and Germans
Alternately Winning. Allied Situation in West is Satisfactory.
(Special to The Guardian)
LONDON, Oct. 21.-German armies
which for nearly fifteen months have been fighting at one front or other are now on the offensive at three widely separated points against Riga, and Dvinsk in Serbia, and in the Cham- pagne district in France. In the two former places they continue to make progress but against the French their attacks yesterday delivered to the East of Rheims met with repulse as did those of _the previous days. While it was expected that the Austro~Ger- man onslaught in the North would be most formidable, as a matter of fact, the Bulgarian attack against the Ser- bians through the valleys from tho East are proving the most dangerous. It is definitely settled that the Bul- garians have cut the Saloniki-Nlsh railway to the North fo Vranya, thus driving a wedge between the main Serbian army and the Anglo-French forces which landed at Saloniki. There is another railway branching off at Uskub which runs on the Western side of Serbia but a considerable way around. Besides. another Bulgarian army is new approaching Kumsnovo threatening junction at Uskup. With the rapid sweep Westward of the Bul- garians tho peoples of the Allied coun- tries are watching `the negotiations
which are proceeding between the Governments and the King and the Government of Greece. These negotia- tions which are being carried on by the British Foreign Office on behalf of the Allies, having failed to convince Greece that it was her duty to abide by the Serbo-Greek treaty to help Ser- bia when she was attacked, the Al- lies made a fresh offer to that coun- try including the cession by Great Bri- tain ef the Island of Cyprus. This of- fer and the outline of possible finan- cial help is being considered by thc Zaimis Cabinet. Should the negotia- tions fail it is expected Greece will bo asked to demohilize or clearly doflnc her attitude. Conversations are pro- ceeding with Roumania which it is un- derstood arc in charge of the French Foreign Office. Meanwhile all tho bol- ligerents realize the best -way to in- fluence tho neutral states is by vic- tory.
Austria. Germany and Bulgaria are
trying for this in Serbia; Germany in Courland and France, [Italy in the Tyrol ami Trcutino, Russia near Slo- nim, which roughly is the centre of the Eastern front. Volhynis and Gali- cia. Except. for the German attack in France all these are meeting with more or less success. Field Marshal Von Hindonburg in his attack on Riga
/
has reached Olai, which is half way between Riga and Milan only a dozen miles Southwest of the Baltic port.
The German offensive extends along
a front of about seventy miles and the German flanking movement on the right has reached Dvlna. River, thirty miles Southeast of Riga from which point the Dvinsk-Riga railway is be- ing bombarded. As offset to this the Russians by a dashing attack have carried Geman positions Southeast of Baronivichi, an important railway junction East of Slomen on the Lida- Rovno railway, taking more than three thousand prisoners ami according to a German official admission, have con- tinued their success. According to Petrograd the Russians are attempt- ing to advance but continue their thrust at the Austro-Germans, thus doin! s. lot. of damage. ` Tho Italian advance in Tyrol and Tren- tlno is being carried out in conformity with a plan to relieve the pressure on Serbia. New success is reported and it is stated a general forward movc- ment. is about tn begin. With the ex- ception of a fow Gorman steamors which escaped submarines in the Bal- tic tho German flag has virtually been driven from the seas. even the fishing fleet in the North Sea being forced to retire. 1

Hughes, in a telegram sent out to all recruiting centres, announces that no troops are to be billeted in Canada at any establishment where liquor is sold, and that the regulation will bo rigidly enforced. Where there is any abuse of the Militia Department’s standards in respect to liquor, troops will be removed from the locality. Otherwise all troops abbve a minimum of 25, accepted for enlistment will be permitted to remain where they are until military needs require their re- moval. ~

llad No Personal
No Question Ever
LONDON, Oct. 20.--Coming direct
from Buckingham Palace, where he handed to King George the seals of his office on his resignation from the Cabinet, Sir Edward Carson appeared in the House of Commons this after- noon and set at rest all conjectures regarding thc reasons for his retire- ment.
Rising from his old seat on the
front opposition bench, the former at- torney-general, in a few words, made the House conversant with the cause of the ministerial crisis, which, he said, was due entirely to the fact that he found himself in complete variance with the cabinet on the question of near eastern policy. He felt, there- fore, that his presence in the cabinet would be a source of weakness and not of strength.
Sir Edward added that he never
had the slightest personal differences with any of his colleagues. After ex- pressing regret at the absence of Pre- mier Asquith and stating that for this reason he would give a briefer expla- nation than he had intended, Sir Ed- ward Carson said:
“I am well aware of the difficulties
under the existing circumstances of making any full statement, or of say- ing anything that might be taken hold of as showing any signs of weakness or divergence in the main object we have in view-of carrying the war, at all sacrifices, to a final and conclu- sive issue. I need hardly say that upon that issue there is not, and never has been, either in the Cabinet or in the House or in the country, any dis- agreement or divergence of opinion.
“The real unity which the country
wants is that steadfast unity of pur- pose to defeat our enemies and to save our country, and I entirely deny that the fact of hdlding a divergent view as to the best policy and methods to adopt in the various war theatres in order to bring it to a succer J-.il conclusion is in any sense an slew-».t of disunion.
“I have seen criticisms of ~\.-»l=
and reasons for my resignatit .. .. very potty and malicious ch -.|~ .ein attributing the motives to a pal ly and political nature.
“I do not desire to deal with these
ridiculous assertions. except to say now, in the presence of many of my late colleagues, that since I ontorcd the cabinet I never hoard a word of discussion or dispute on those party questions which diviricd us lmforc thc war. In every cabinet meeting I at- tended we all devoted our cuergics wholly and solely to the discussion of questions which arose with rclcrcncc to the prosecution oi' the war.
"I also dssirc to say that during the
whole time I have been in the cabinet I never have had any personal diticr- ence either with tllie Prime Minister, whose unvarying courtesy I dosiro to acknowledge, or with any one of my late colleagues. May I also add that no ono realizes moro than I tho great difiicultics undcr which we labor, ow- ing to tho fact that our policy and methods must, at all times, ho adopt- cd in concert and co-ordination with our various allies. and must also very frequently be framed with a view to consulting sentiments and foolings in those neutral countries with whom we rcmaln on friendly terms. This often has been lost sight of by critics of our actions who cannot possibly know the difficulties which arise from time to time.
“Difficulties which have arisen in
tho Eastern war theatres have creat- ed a situation which. to my miitd. lmust necessarily lead to far-reaching results.
"At the time I entered the cabinet
.ws already were committed to what may be called the operations in Galli- poli. It is not, of course, my intention to deal either with tho inception or the carrying out of those operations. but it must be plain to any observer that the new war theatre in the Bal- kans created a situation which could not be divorced from our position on the Gallipoli peninsula, and the state- ment made in this House by the For- eign Minister, with the sanction ot the cabinet, appeared to me to be an an- nouncement of a policy of the highest importance with regard to our obliga-
tions in the Balkans involving our

clearly defined, well thought out and decisive policy on the part of the Gov- ernment, arid, finding myself unable to agree in any respect with what I understood to be laid down as a pol- icy approved by tho Government I felt that my presence in the cabinet could not be of any use in the critical situa- tion in which we were involved.
“I need hardly say I am not sug-
gesting that my views could possibly be compared with those who have much more experience and greater wisdom in dealing with such situa- tions, but at the same time I held, and hold, the views I have expressed, very stronglyfnnd I -hope the HOHBB will believe, conscientiously and pat- riotically. I did not think that in the circumstances I could be anything but a source of weakness at a time requir- ing great strength and consistency.
“That is all I can say, and I ask
the House to believe that in the course I have taken I have been actuated by no_ personal party motive, but that I have acted to the best of my ability solely in the interests of my country-"
Sir Edward Carson's speech was
punctuated with cheers and was cou- cluded amid loud cheers.

SYDNEY. Oct. 20.-The Brisbane.
the first cruiser built in the oversea. dominions, was launched September 30 at the Cockatoo dock, in the pres- ence of the Governor-General of the Commonwealth. the Governor of New South Wales, the federal and ststo ministers, and an enthusiastic crowd. Mrs Fisher, wife of the Prime Minis- ter. named the vessel.
l\ir Fisher said the Australian navy
was a dream five years 880; 10-day it was a startling reality. He hoped that the other dominions would follow the example of Australia.
Mr Jensen, minister of the navy,
said that lu a few weeks the keel of the cruiser Adelaide would be laid down. Engineers and draughtsmen were about to go to England to study submarine construction with a view to building submarines in Australia. llc hoped that the day was not far distant when the construction of a battleship would bc attempted.
Mr llughcs. tho federal attorney-
gcnornl. said he was sure that those present would live to seo a squadron composed of Australian, Canadian and New Zealand ships. I
The Brisbane is one of the three
cruisers of the Chatham class. built for tho Australian navy; the other two. tho Melbourn and Sydney, were constructed at Birkenhead and Govan rcspcctively. The Brisbane was laid down at Cockatoo dock on January 26, 1013. All the cruisers have s dis- placement of 5,400 tons, steam 24.7 knots. are protected by a belt. carry 18 sinx-inch guns (50 calibre) and several smaller guns. and are furnish- od with two torpedo tubes. Each has a complement of 376.
