introducing the speaker, the chair-
man cullml on tfoloncl Cnulphell, who
gave it brief address, in which he
stated that Sergt. Knight had come to
endeavour to impress upon the people
oi' (‘ilarlottcfowl\ thc tremendous lm-
portanre of the prcsellt crisis and to
urge all young men, without exception.
to cnlist in preparation for the strug-
gle which is to come. “Prince Ed-
ward lslnud," hc said, “at thc present

radcs might sinful shoulder to shoul~

er, sleep together. trnin together and

The chairman. in introducing Sergt.
Knight. said that the time was past
for speaking, and there should he a
splendid response when they looked
on thc two men who were on the plat-
form, sufferlng because they had been
wounded in fighting our battles. in
introducing Sergt. Knight he wished
to say that the Scrgt. had been a plie-
nomenal recruiter in other places and
was on his way to go under the care
and treatment of a skilful surgeon.
Ho then extended to the visitor " the
welcome that evcry British heart
gives to t.hc llcro when he comes back
to tell his tale." (Chcers.).
Sergt. Knight was greeted with tre-
mendous eclat and his address was
marked by frequent outbursts of ap-
plause. He said that as the chairman
had very properly remarked. the time
had gone by for more talking ; it was
time for action. He lied been doing
recruiting work for three months and

._ . ...P . __s ,. '~ ‘ K ‘  . -I" golli, mont and setlt"ll‘y'ianed n Express it was a man’s job to come heck from
Scrgt. Knight went on to tell of his
experiences in Belgium. stating that
wonlcn whose husbands and older
sons had all been wounded or killed,
were frequently seen to take their 17-
yeur-old boys and publicly dedicate
them to the army, thus making an in-
t-.alculablc sacrifice. Had not the
mothers of Canada tho same bravery
and spirit of patriotic sacrifice as
those Belgian women? Ile asked, or
had they become so rooted in .selfish-
ness, false pride, succcss and pros-
perity that they could not collslder
the needs of the other fellow? ln one
place hc saw some half-n-dozen babies
hung up on hooks in a shack after the
lunllncr of slaughtered hogs, with o
'bayonet in each throat. A German
philosopher and man of “ kultur" had
written, “ the women are for the re-
frcntiou of the warriors." In view of
such a teaching they could well under-
stand the German atrocities which had
wrecked the homes of brave little Bel-
gium. Tile men who could go to the
front to avenge these outraged people
and did not go, did not want to go.
lf u man wanted to go the way was
open for him. The mothers could not
keep them back. If a man `wanted a
drink he would not consult his mother
in the_matter! The man who left his
