Some Heroes Who Won the Victoria.

Cross `

“You know l got a bar to the Vic-

toria. Cross," said the famous Corporal .i. Kerr, the first Maritime Pro- vince soldier to win the highest decor- ation within the gift. of the British War Office. and- he pointed, its explain ation for his statement. to his English bride who_stood proudly by his side. "l prize the bar' more than the Cross", he said:

Kerr, V. C.. enlisted in the 66th Bat-

talion- and -on arrival in -England was

;lrat’ted to tho 49th the non the firing inc _ in trolicli wari'ii.i'e_ Kerr had always

shown his valor hilt when tho real testing time camo at the Sonime he proved to he a soldier superb. lie was in the attack and ti. party of Germans - that had taken up a covered position and with ii machine gllii were niowiiigl down Kei1"s pals as they dashed to the attack. This was too much for the brawny lumberniun, single-lianded he rushed the positions, bayonetted iind' clubbed several of the Boclies and then seizing the machine gun tnriied it upon the enemy and routed the eil- tlre party, killing most of them. Hail- ed as the Canadians Michael' Olheary. he took his honors easily and was nt- ter decorated with the Victoria. Cross by the King.

There is only one thing that Kerr

can do better than iight and that is smile. llc is ii general favorite with the men who tieatctl him as a sort ol'

LONDON. lllarcii 20.-The foi'eigii

office tonight issued a statement em- bodying a protest of the entente pi'e- niiers and t`oreign ministers assemb- led in London against Gerinaiiy's act- ion, in the name of German peace. to- ward the Russian people. The pro- test concludes: “Peace is loildly ad- vertised. but under the disguise oi'

“Peace treaties such as these we do

not "and cannot acknowledge. Our own ends are very different. We are fighting, and mean to continue fight- ing, iii order to finish once for all. with this policy oi’ plunder, and to es- tablish in its place the peaceful reign of organized justice.

“As incideiits of this long war un-

roll theinsclves bei`oree our eycs,iilore :ind more clearly do \ve perceive that the battles for t`roedoni are every- where iiiter-dependeiit; that po separ- ate enumeration of tiieiii is needed and that in every case the single., but all-sufficient, appeal is to justice and right.

“Arc justice and right going to

win? In so tar as the issue 'depends on battles yet to come, the nations whose tate is in the balance may sure- ly put their trust in the armies, which. even under conditions more difficult: than the present, have shown theinseives ni`ore than equal to the great cause entrusted to their valor."
