‘Ihe death occurred last night st his home at Elmwood. North River Road, of Lieut. Colonel Arthur C. Peake, officer commanding the 8th Medium Battery in the first world war, and one of Prince Edward Island's most distinguished war vet- erans.

Colonel Pcake was in his 72nd year. He was stricken with para- ysis about five years ago, and had been confined to his bed ever since.

A son of the late George Peaks. of the shipbuilding firm of Peake Brothers. Charlottetown, Colonel Peake served his early years in this business. l-le was also appointed to the command of the 8th Medium Battery, which he took overseas from this Province and which dis- tinguished itself in action on many occasions.

Colonel Peake had a fine record as s. competent and experienced soldier, and wns very popular with his men. in whom he took a keen personal interest.

In his earlier years he was an active member of the Masonic Order, the Oddfeilows. and Sons of England. His religious affiliation was with St. Peter's Cathedral.

After the last war he engaged successfully in farming and fax ranching, until forced to retire through illness.

He is survived by his widow. formerly Miss Muriel King. of Port Arthur, Ont: also two sons, Lt. C01. George Peaks, who took the ath Medium Battery overseas in the present war and is now with a Canadian Artillery Reinforcement unit; and Capt. Arthur G. Peakc. at present on the staff cf the Royal Military College. Kingston. Ont: and twn daughters. Mrs. C. N. Biss- ett (Alice), Westmount. Que. and Mrs. E. E. Spencer (Muriel) of Montreal. There are also three surviving brothers. Mr. Ernest Peaks. of Chalottetown. Lionel, in British Columbia, and Weston. Montreal: and one sister. Mrs. Edwin Alt-ken.

The funeral arrangements will be announced later.

perllalttod to he slid of Mr - Resident

Today's meeting, officials said. was uni us in that it brought t0- gather t e British and Canadian Prime Ministers and their cabi et War commit‘ in part. for t e

first time.

m British war cabinet was re- presented by Mr. Churchill who is British Defence Minister, and Sir John Anderson, nerd president, 0g

the Council.

Mackenzie King's lo-man Canadian cabinet war com- mittee was complete but for the absence of Agriculture Minister

Gardiner.

What was " ussed at the three- hour session. and what is being done at the continuous conferences 0f the combined chiefs of staff which continue indefinitely at the Chateau, must remain only sub. iects for escalation.

But it believed certain that they dealt wiil-i the ssibility of further use of Canadian forces in whatever new assaults may be launched against the Axis fortress in mmne. and discussed the pm lfllyed by the Canadian First Div- Ilia; fr; Sicily.

i! liter question of grand stra- il-‘BY ls believed to be subject of the deliberations being carried on 17! the chiefs of staff‘. and the more remote but apparently vitally 11" question of agreed plans for POM-Will‘ Problems is expected izere to be the main subject of the Churchill-Roosevelt talks.

I-‘lrst Public Appearance

Mr. Churchill made his first real goblin appearance this morning. eviously he had been glimpsed briefly by l. few pcopis through a limousine window as he was driven to the vice-regal residence in the old Citadel from the railway sta- tion at Charny, on the St. Law- rence River south shore. where he left his train yesterday afternoon. Shortly before noon this morn- ing the familiar figure-long cigar, black homb , gloves and cane, confident smiic and fingers in the “V-for-victxiry" sign-appeared for a few minutes within the walled quadran ie before the main en- trance o the Chateau when he ar- rived for the cabinet meeting. Many ictures were taken o Mr. Churchil and Sir John Anderson standing with Mr. King and his cabinet colleagues on the steps, With Mr. Churchill and Mr. Kin each he ing arrange the group g t0

J, Walter Jones expressed his op- inion yesterday of the Old Home Week and Provincial Exhibition program now in full swing in the course of a brief address to the overflow crowd; and that is Just what this year's program is shap- ing up to.

Yesterday from eoriy noon un- til late at night a colorful. holiday crowd srvarmcd through the big plant viewing the many attrac- tions that are to be witnessed. The show rings where judging was in full swing were crowded as in- terested spectators followed the judges activities as they went over minutely the cream of the is- lands horses, livestock and cattle. Competition in th different classes is very close and as the judges stated yesterday the qual- ity of the stock on display this year is even better tliun that of the ast.

Bil Lynch's Midway was in full swing and the crowds that milled around the various usement booths, sideshows. etc. were find- ing something new. something different evcry minute. making it next to impossible to take in them all in the one day.

The harness racing program was witnessed by an overflow crowd that taxed almost cvery available bit of space. Four classes were run off and the race fans witnessed one of the finest after- noon's sport ever seen hcrc with thrilling, blanket finished marking each and every hent as Island- owncd horses added two more vic- wriea to the pair they chalked up on opening day. Interspersed oe- tween heats was a full vaudeville program that again drew down weli-meritsdmpplauae from the gathering,
