RECRUITING

AT WINSLDE STATION

llloqueni Addresses by Sir Louis Davies and 0lher Speakers.

A largely attended and most suc-

cessful ten was held at Winsloe yes- terday afternoon in aid of the funds of the local brailcii of the Red Cross Society. The day was ideal aiid'in additioil to residents in the district a large contingent from the city attend- ed, travelling there by special train. Excellent music was supplied by the band of the 82lld Regiment under Bandmaster McFa.rlaiie, and after a very sbstantial tea had been done` ample justice to, a meeting was held under the auspices of the Prince Ed- ward lslaild Patriotic Society. Rev. Dr Fullerton presided and vocal mllsic was contributed by Professor Barlow, Mr Beers nild Mr lieales. Professor Thompson presided at tile organ.

The chairman briefly introduced the

speakers and explilined the objects of the meeting.

Sir Louis Il. Davies gave the open-

lilg address. Nothing gave him great- er pleasure, lie said. after nine months arduous work in Ottawa tllaii to return once nlore to Prince Edward Island, to enjoy its health-giving ciiniate, to admire its magnificent scenery, and to renew old friendships. Much had happened since his previous visit. Eleven months ago when war was declared between Great Britain and l~‘i'arice oil the one side uild Germany and Austro-Hungary on the other, it had taken all of them by surprise. Up to the last hour, almost, British statesmeli had been confident in the belief tllat war was impossible. They had been feign to believe that Ger- many was sincere in her repeated assertions that she had no intention of entering into war; this, too, in spite of the fact that Germany llad| for twenty years at least been pre-| paring for war on the greatest scale the world had ever heard of. Britain was unprepared for such an eventual- ity, and that very fact testified to the genuineness of the sentiments ex- pressed by her stntesmen in regard to iler pacific policy. Germany, wilile protesting her friendship for Britain, had been stealthily layiilg ilcr plans for attack when she thought Great Britain would be at a disadvantage. That moment, she considered, had ar- rived ili the beginning of August last. Then ireland was thought to be oil the brink of civil war., the Boers ready to rise against the British iii South Africa, while other parts of the Eni- pire were supposed to be so iiidiffereilt to British rule that they would not coins to iier assistance in the case of war. Those, Germany tiiougiit, were the conditions prevailing ill the Brit-

.RALLY-

ish Empire when she decided to strike the blow that was to make iier the mistress of the world. But what a sur- prise was in store for iler. lilstead ut a disuiiited, disioyal collection of nationalities, Germany when she went to war foulid every part of our great dominions solidly united in behalf of the greatest Elnpire sun even sllone upon. (Applause.) Why had all the dissatisfaction ceased? Why had every separate unit in the vest Em- pire put to one side their iiiterilal difl'ci'eilc0s uild rallied to the flag? Why with one voice and with accla- lliation did they declare for British rule? Simply because they realised that the British flag under which they lived sigiiiilell freedom, justice and righteousness. One oi' the greatest testiinoiiies ever given ill this respect was the stand taken by the Bocrs ill South Africa uulider that great states- mail, soldier aild patriot, Geiilt-ral Louis Botiiii.. (Applause) What did that signify? It meant that possibly the greatest charter ever issued was the charter given by Mr Asquitii pro- viding self-government to the South African Colonies, for now, after a lapse of flfteeil years, they found the people whom they fought as foes lighting ill this great world’s coiifiict side by side with tile British people, and with such success and effect that the last remnant of the German rule had disappeared in South Africa. (Applause.) Wherever the British flag iioais in the breeze fair play_and justice rule, and it was ill conse- quence of that that in this supreme nioineiit in Britain's history she was supported by the hearty, loyal feel- ing of all the people throughout iier wide donlinloils, including India. Last year when he was here they had organised branches of the Red Cross Society and he was pleased to know that the women of the Island had entered liito the work with heart and soul and with such success as to win the uiistiiited encomillni of the head- qllarter's committee iii Toronto. Iii- deed hc had received a letter frolil the committee, iii which they tendered the-ir thanks to t.iie branches in the Island for the hearty support received and iii which it was stated tiiat the lslaiid branches had been the most progressive and successful of all tile branches iii Canada. (Applause) lie had replied acknowledging the coni- pliment alid stated tllat he knew froiii experience that the praise was well. deserved. When lie visited tile island last ye-ar lic recognised that the womell hall entered with heart and soul into the great work, and now he felt tiiat they had reason to be pleased and proud of what they had been able to accomplish. Still there was much to dc. When they entered upon this cruel war. when they had taken up arms iii defence of all tllat was worth living and striving for by a freedoni-loving people, tile-y did not realise tilat the conflict was to be so prolonged. Now they knew that the war was not to be a short one, and they iliust appreciate the i`act that there was as inucll need at the pres- ent. time, if not a greater need. than there was twelve months ago, for the work of tlic Red Cross Society. When thc war ilrst broke out Cailadll re- spoiided nobly to the call for men. They sent a very fair proportion of their men iii the first contingent. The second contingent wus iiow going for- ward to the front. and the third coil- tiiigeilt was now being organised. They in Prince Edward lslalid were being asked for li. unit of 200 men to form with a similar nunlber from New Brunswick a complete artillery com- pany. He felt sure volunteers had just to be asked for' in this lslcilll in order to have a hearty response. Tile high officials in Great Britain and at the front had the highest opinion of the bravery and efficiency of tile forces sent by Canada. I-le had just that day seen o. report by Sir John French on the manner in which the Canadians had conducted tilemselves at Lailgemarck. The telegraphed re- ports at the time of the battle had spoken in the highest terms of tile valiant conduct of the Canadians, and llow in the official report of Sir John French to the War Office they were told that “ The Canadians had saved the situation " on that memorable day. when with all the ingenuity that science could bring to their aid the Germans had attacked the Allies under cover- of the fume-clouds of a deadly obnoxious gas. He read the paragraph from Sir John’s report in which he expressed his high apprecia- tion of the Canadian soldiers and the magnificent way in which they had done their duty. By their bravery and efficiency they had averted a disaster which might have been fatal to the Allies' cause. The encomium of Sir John was so high and so well-merited, the action of the Canadians so cour- ageous and brilliant that they ought to be proud their boys had so worthily and meritorioilsiy discharged their duty to the King and flag. (Applause) The day would come-though prob- ably not yet awliil_e--when Germany would be defeated. They had a long way to travel before then, in all prob- ability, but the result of the war would be the defeat of the Germans, and

to 22 the City Corporation fo-ilay re- fused to endorse a resolution demand- ing that " Home Rule silnll be put into operation in the whole of ireland on l7tli September next." ily iiie sanie majority the Corporation adopt- ed an amendment expressing confi- dence in Mr Redmond, the Irish Nationalist Parliamentary Leader., to select the speediest means ilt the proper moment to bring the settle- iilent into operation. Though the movers of the original resolution pro- tested there was nothing lnimlcal to Mr Redmond in it, the majority scented mischief, and a suggestion of

discontent in the_ Nationalist ranks.

Disorderly scenes followed thc an- ilollncenlcnt ot' the result of the vote, and the City Councillors had to be forcibly prevented froi.li engaging in llsltcuffs. _
