Citizens of Charlottetown were af-
forded a rare treat yesterday wllell Rev. Dr. John Pringle of Yukon fame, and who has just returned from battle- scarred France and Belgium, gavo three addresses throughout the day.
Rev. Dr. Prillgle arrived in Char-
lottetown on Saturday night and dur- ing his brief stay here is the guest of Conductor John Macdonald of the P. E. I. Railway.
Dr. Pringle occupied the pulpit of
Zion Church in the morning. Ile read the story of the Prodigal Son as the Scripture lesson and his discourse was followed with intense interest as he told of experiencés at the front and showed how the bciter instincts of the men are brought out by very simple means. His discourse went to show that the msn are upon the whole more spiritually inclined than before they entered this terrible confllct_
Dr. Pringle occupied the pulpit of
the Opera House at 4 p. m.. and was very well attendl-:li considering that only a very brief notice was given be- forehand. Rev. Dr. Fullerton presl- ded and after a verse of "Onward Christian Soldiers," had been sung, llc introduced and paid a deserved tribute
to the speazer whose fame Ile said extended ov r and well beyond this continent. -
Rev. Dr. Pringle began his address
by stating that he was not on duty these days in the sense of being a recruiting officer. He said he had no harsh words to say to the men who have not enlisted. This is a question, said be for every man to settle with himself_ In many cases he was cer- tain it took more courage to stay home than to go to the front.
.The Docter in opening told that llc wasis? P: E. Islander-born in Chur- lottetown, the son of a soldier, and was brought up inl barracks until he was ten yelfrll of age.
One of his earliest accomplishments
was learning to box and llc claimed that the zlrt of knowing hos/ to rlrbt had kept him out of many llgIl.:s_
Ile never l'cIie\‘ed in corscrlptloll
but in universal training. llovs :ln-I grls should both know somletlling of milltllry work and every body at 18 should know how to handle <1 gun. llc declared that llc was not P. fighting parson and will preach peace wilcll this war is eluded as nov-ir before. He could turn the other cheek in B per- sonal dispute but this war, he salll, isa quarrel for justice and the freedom of the nations.
Dr. Pringle ln his remarks referred
to the fact tllat he has a son ill the
trenches, and is proud of the fact. This young man of 6 feet 1% inches walkod 100 miles to enlist, is steady and self- restrained. does not drink or use pro- fane talk and yet is no molly-coddle. I-Ie would gladly give twelve sons, if Ile had them, to the cause_
After dealing for some time with thc
cause of the war he said tllat he had lived In Belgium for ten months and seen towns and villages reduced to a mass of brick and mortar and people living in portions of packillg boxes.

Schools, churches, hospitals, and stores were all laid ill ruins. It is for the freedom of those people that we are lighting and that that sort of thillg shall bc put an eull to f`urever_
The Doctor pail a splendid tribute
to the women of England wllo are uuillg great things. The export of nlanufacturell articles for the past year was some _$10,000,000 over the p:'c\-ions year and reprcsenis their \vJrk.
ill* also told of the lllaglliilu-ll' wnllc
of lilo Britt-.nl navy and pa -.l tribute '<\ ll..w men llf .le fleet. “\Vl\olc- <l..llc” is th- <-rd “oven describes them, he said.
Up to the time Ile left Englsndhehad
learned on good autllority that no loss than 103 German submarines had been accounted for. _
Tile speakcrdescrived at snmelength
what Britain had accomplished, show- ing how Gerluany's economic trade was destroyed; how she has financed Canada, India, the Colonies; feeds and clothes the armies of Belgium and Ser- bia, und has raised all army of five millions and through it ull has kept the sympathy, not only of thc ruling nations, but of the colnmoll people of every nation.
True, mistakes had been made but
the nation that never makes mistakes never makes anything.
Even the Unite-.i States, madc up
largely of the highest intellects of the Old Land and this, made mistakes and made a big one when they did not stand up for justice at the start of this conflict. V Even by l3ritain's mistakes good had been acconlplisllcll. At the Dardan- elles where a fleet had gone without an army 500,000 Turks were held at Gallipoli and but for the Mesopota- mia Expedition the Russian would not be ill Erzeruln and Trebizond. There are always compcnsations.
The Doctor gave some very interest-
ing descriptions of the trenches, and .life therein alld said no such thing as pessimism was known there. He des- cribed tlle temper of the men very apt- ly by this story:- `
In one very dangerous spot near
“Plug Street" the Canadians having stuck up a sign ill big letters:
IF ANY GERMANS, AUSTRIANS.
OR HUNGARIANS ARE FOUND TRESPASSING ON THIS PROPERTY THEY WILL BE SLAPPED ON THE WFtIST_"
The Doctor described the French
army as the nlost pcrfcct lighting ma- chine ln the world, und enloglscd thc bravery of the men.
At the close of thc address Dr. Ful-
lerton thanked Manager Gallagher for the use of the theatre. Col. Campbell and the 105th Iland for their presence and also appealed for recruits for the new Slcge Battery. Hn also stated that he had lt telegram from Halifax asking for horsemen to join the Army Service Corps unllcr (lol. Dean.

INTEIIESTING IETIEII
ENIIM THE TIIIINT
Mr. Arthur Bruce, of this City, wllo
is u member of the now Siege Battery, wllo it will be remembered was one of the first to enlist for overseas ser- vice in the Heavy Artillery, and was later discharged owing to an injury which he received in Ilalifax, which prevented him from accompanying his comrades to the front has received a very interesting letter from Sergt_ D. Iiuckley, now “Somewhere in Bel- gillm_" Sergt_ Buckley is well known to the P. E. Island artillery men of this Province many of whom were ln- structed by him ill the rudimcnts of artillery work. Following is the let- tcr:-
Somewhere ill Belgium.
Dear Art: I suppose you'll be sur-
prised on opening this to find lt's from me, but really you don’t deserve it. I wrote to you a few times from Eng- land and never had an answer from you.
Well, how are you old sport? I
hope this flllds you ill the pink of con-

I am at the front ‘now with the Field Artillery about .lv_e miles in front of thc 2nd Heavies. l saw a few of them on my way back to blllets a mollth ago, and I met old Wllitlley. His familiar i'catures brought hack to me nil the good times ' I had in Halifax with you ull. Do you over ponder ovcr these times. your- self? I suppose you do_ Would you like it all over again?
I have been trying to get out of this
outfit and back to my own corps on the staff, but up to now it is as hard to succeed ns it is to find a Gorman working party when the Battery is ready to ilrc.
I nm In charge of the Battery up
here. , The B. S. M. is down at tho wagon lines, so things are rullnlng smoothly. Tho only flaw in this lloavenly place is the unwelcome flgllt_ of ll shell from Fritz now and again, which makes us all duck under cover like rabbits, but only to rise again for furtller "Hun straflug," when he has his wrath upoll us. One morning his “hymn of hate" lasted for over an hour and resulted in making the field in which we are reposing like thc top of ll pepper box- but fortunately for us not a drop of Canadian blood in this particular outst has added to tho ferti- llzillg of Flanders as yet.
I am not very much in love with
these little 18 pounders; somehow they have not tllo kick in them that the old "lleavies," 60 pounders have. I can truthfully say I have had a whack at all kinds of artillery with the excep- tion of the Horse; sometime I may find myself amidst the "right of the line and pride of the British Army." as they are called,
You remember all the stuff I used
to ram into you fellows; marching drill, arm drill, etc., and lnftnltum_ Well, it may be very useful in years to come but it was only a. waste of time really. When- I look over .it ali, the Canadian volunteer would be better off if he wal, in the short- time he has to do it, trained on the line f work he will meet over herd. IL

for Wholehearted
LONDON. May 5.-The National-
ists, according to the Daily Mail, will press the Government at all early date to disarm every mlln ill ire- land. Tile paper adds lllllt tho Nu-
sllould be dlsarmcd provided that tllc` Government does likewise with the Ulster volunteers. “Tile dclnund,” says the Daily Mail, “is likely to raise a dlfllcult issue in Irish politics."
That the situation ill lrclaull s still serious is sllown by letters from the Bishop of Dublin, published ln this mornlng's papers, in which hc writes:
“Martial law should not be ton
quickly withdrawn from Dublin. The danger, which has been much greater' than the Government will admit, is by no means past. Many nrnlcd rebels still are at large in Dublin, null the danger of another uprising cull only be averted by the most strict measures. This is not the time for am- nesties or pardolls. it is a time for swift stern punlsllment.
KING THANKS IRISH TROOPS.
King George has sent the following
despatch to Lieut-Gen. Sir John Max- well, military commander of the forces ill Ireland:
“Now that the recent Iamentable
outbreak has finally been quelled I wish to express to my salient troops In Ireland, to the Royal irish Con- stabulary and to the Dublin Metro- politan Police, my deep sense of their whole-hearte'd devotion of duty and the spirit of self-sacrifice with which they acted throughout."
The execution of Patrick ll.
Pearse, Thomas McDonagh and Thomas J. Clark, leaders of the re- bellion, took place in Dublin Castle. according to despatches from Belfast." I James Connolly, who was wounded
cannot yet be placed on trial.
The other three signatories to tho
proclamation of tha lrlsll ltepubllc, Sean Macdiarmad, Eamonn (feannt. and Joseph Plunkett, fell during the fighting.
CASEMENT TRIAL WILL FOLLOW COURSE.
It has been learned from nutllori
tatlve sources that there is no basis for the reports of the likellllnod of the adoption of rrly novel procedure ill the trial of Sir Roger (‘ascmcnt, who will in due course of time bo. charged under the ordinary law with the crime of high treason.
Sir Roger was arrested in Ireland
before the proclamation of martial law there, and although he is at pre- sent held under the Defense of the ReuimAct. the- charges under that statute would relate only to matters ill the United Kingdom and would not embrace .ills conduct in Germany, of which a public investigation is considered to be highly desirable. .
Important evidence is now beIng‘
collected In the case of Sir linger, and proceedings will begin sllorlly,` the first step being a charge before rl police magistrate.
RISING AT ENNISCORTHY_
The story of tho uprising at En-
niscorthy is similar tn that ill Dub- lin, but it was carried out on ll small- er scalc. At two e'cIock Thursllay morning 200 Sinn Feiners seized thc Athenaeum, one of the principal buildings of the town, and convcrtcll it into headquarters for the insur- gent staff. while other forces guarded and patrolled all the tllroughtfnrcs.
At six o’clock ammunition was serv-
ed out to the rebel recruits. and the Republican fl ag was hoisted on headquarters. The telegraph and telephone lines were out and the rall- way tracks torn up, thus severing communication with the outside world. A proclamation was issued that the town was in the hands of the republican forces; all the public houses were closed, and business was stopped, except the bakeries and such work as was required for the rebels.
~ 1<=~~m- _.;_-_ I::°°':.*:.f. f‘.:.°"a:'°..°.'.‘.1‘,:"°:..l'.:::°.f
Fighting began between seven and eight o'clook_ The insurgents storm- - ed the constabulary barracks, but failed to take lt, and several other attempts to capture the barracks met with no greater success. Otherwise. the town was virtually in their pos- session. including Enniscorthy Cas- tle, atandlng on an emminence com- manding the town.
