TRAFALOAR  DEMONSTRATION  
YESTERDAY IN CHARLOTTETOWN
tlvic - lialt-liohday tlitserved by Citizens. Grand
Military Parade by No. 2 Siege Battery and island
infantry Unit. Speeches and _ Music _ on Square.
Prince Street School Pupils Participate. .
Yesterday, the 110th anniversary of
Trafalgar, was observed in Charlotte-
town with more than ordinary interest,
in view of the peculiar significance of
the occasion. In the first place, it was
the day set aside, in response to the
urgent appeal of Lord Lansdowne,
President of the British Red Cross
Society, for the prosecution of a
special collection campaign in aid of
the Society, whose funds have been
seriously depleted since the 'outbreak
of the war; and in order that an
appeal might also be made to the
young men of the province to come_
forward and enlist, a large meeting
was held in the Square, for the pur-
pose of which a half-holiday was pro-
claimed by His Worship the Mayor,
the Government extending the same
privilege to the school children. At
2.30 the 2nd Siege Battery, under com-
mand of Col. Peake, assembled at
Brighton Camp and marched to the
Drill Shed, where they were joined
by the Infantry Company under com-
mand of Col. Allen and Captain
Campbell and, headed by the 82nd
Regiment Band. paraded the principal
streets, finally drawing up in the Mar-
ket Square. A large crowd followed
the parade. At the Square a magnifi-
cent recruiting meeting was held in
the presence of a large audience, Rev.
Peake and flapt. It. H. Campbell,
whose appeals to the young men to
do their duty were probably among
the most forceful ever made and were
immediately fruitful. Besides excel-
lent selections by the Band, the young
ladies of Prince Street School render-
ed a number of patriotic songs, which
lent a. pledsing variety to the pro-
gramme and were highly appreciated.
_Before calling on Colonel Peake to
address the meeting, Dr Fullerton in-
vited to the platform Gunner Stephen
McKinnon, who returned home wound-
od on Saturday night last. Gunner
McKinnon, he said, deserved the posi-
tion of honour, and no doubt his
presence among them that afternoon
'would be an inspiration to the young
men and would induce them to realise
their responsibility and to do their
duty. Gunner McKinnon did not
desire to address the audience, but ho
requested Dr Fullerton to say for him,
that in his heart there was a burning
desire if he were able to do so, to
return to France and continue to do
his part to protect the freedom of the
Empire. (Cheers) Ho then proposed
three cheers for the hero, and the
audience broke into tremendous ap-
plause, while the band played _" He’s a
Jolly Good Fellow." Dr Fullerton
.‘then called on Colonel Peake, who
Dr Fullerton presiding. » Eloquent “made a stirring appeal for recruits. _
such au extent," he said, " that is, I
mean, the Battery, that we are apt to
get swelled heads and to think wc are
heroes; but we must disabuso our
minds of that idea, for there is only
one hero hero to-day, and that is our
noble friend Gunner McKinnon, who
has suffered in the performance of
his duty to save our homes." (Ap-
plause.) He went on to picture the
conditions that would exist if this
province were invaded. If the Ger-
mans lauded in Summcrsidc. for in-
stance, he said, and treated the con-
vents, schools and old men and women
the same as those of Belgium wore,
what young man in Charlottetown
would shirk the call to arms to defend
this city from similar invasion? He
did not think there would be a single
man so base and cowardly in such an
event. and yet there was a parallel
case in Europe to-day, the only differ-
_ence being that one was a little
further away than the other. He
quoted figures showing to what ex-
tent the various religious denomina-
`tlons were represented in the Battery,
_and stated that he understood that in
some of_ the churches honour rolls
were being prepared oi’ the men who
were in khaki. I-le was of opinion that
"Dishonour° Rolls" would be more
effective. as they would show who
addresses were delivered by Colonel " We have been dined and wined to. (Continued on page two)

The Orange Lodges of Charlotte'
town united in giving a farewell ban-
quet to the members-of No. 2 Siege
Battery who are Orangsment last
night in the Boyne Lodge Hall. There
was a good turnout of the Orangemen.
and about a dozen of the Boys enjoyed
the members’ hospitality. _
The meeting was opened by Brother
Cresswell, who said they greatly ap-
preciated this opportunity to entertain
the members of the Orange Associa-
tion of the Heavy Battery, and thought
these members were teaching them a
much-needed lesson and showing them
a splendid example.
The chairman, Bro. G. D. Wright,
extended a hearty welcome to the
members of the Orange Association of
the Heavy Battery, who were about
to leave on active service. It was
their duty as brothers to hold up their
hands and encourage them in every
way in their power. -
Past Grand Master Cresswell gave
a brief address. He considered it a
very great privilege and duty to wel-
come their brethren snd to give their
friends who were going to the front
a little bit of s. good time. As the
Master of St George's Lodge was not
present he had been asked to take his
Place. They had about 22 members
who had gone to the front from St
George s Lodge with the First Contin-
Bent. He hoped they would all be
Bllarsd to come back again to the old
Lodge. -
Bro. Acom gave the Boys a welcome
f"°lll B0Yne Lodge. It gave him great
Pleasure to see so many members of
No. 2 Siege Battery members of the
Association. The Orange Association
was the only Association where the
first words of the obligation were the
oath of realty to the sovereign of the
fellllll. and for that reason Orangemen
would be supposed to be equally as
P“ll'I°¢lC. if not more so. than. any
other mon. Speaking of the number
gh Bllllble young men in the city, he_
Ollght the time would soon come
3/hen the call would be for men of his
OW" B80- it was the duty of young
l'l:llsement to show their colours. Ho

speech said he was delighted to be
with them. I-Ie had only been _in the
city three weeks and this was the
second chance he had had to speak
words of congratulation' and God-
speed to the Boys who were going
to fight their battles. He would like
to congratulate the Lodge on the
splendid body of men who showed to
the world that they were not jellyfish,
spineless, backboneless people who
were afraid of their lives in the cause
of right. _They were not there because
they were soldiers, they were soldiers
because they were heroes. They had
faced every possibility and still they
wavered not in their determination.
When he saw these soldiers marching
that day he thought they were the
grandest body of men that ever walk-
ed those streets. He thought to him-
self. when they get to Germany they
will give the Germans beans. When
the Germans met our Canadian boys
face to face they would find that it
was eagle against eagle and lion
against lion. They were going to win
laurels for this Island of ours. He
wished them God-speed.
The chairman then called on Past
Grand Master the Rev. R. G. Fulton
to present a number of handsome
Bibles to the members of the No. 2
Siege Battery present.
Rév. R. G. Fulton. complying with
this request. said hc could not say a
word of praise that was sufficiently
SUOIIS. they could not pronounce a
eulogy which was sufficiently worthy
of their action. When they came
within the borders of the Orange
Lodge and talked to men wearing the
uniform they were told that they were
only doing what was expected of them.
If any member was not doing his duty
he was bringing stigma and shame on
their order. It was nurtured and
brought up in the_spirit of liberty.
It gave him much pleasure to pre-
sent each member with a copy of the
Word of God. He had seen a Bible
which had been punctured by a. Ger-
man bullet-a dum-dum. The bullet
had stopped at the gospel of St John.
The owner had placed the book in his
Docket and it had been the means of
_saving his life. This Book would keep
them from sin, 'or sin would keep
them from it. All the Master asked
was that B man be a msn. For gold-
ance and instruction in manhood there
was no book like the Word of God.
The followinlc members were pre-
sented with Bibles:-Bro. K. Mackay,

'FROM ALL THE BELLIGERENTS
Servian Situation Very Critical. Russians and Germans
Alternately Winning. Allied Situation in West
is Satisfactory.
(Special to The Guardian)
LONDON, Oct. 21.-German armies
which for nearly fifteen months have
been fighting at one front or other are
now on the offensive at three widely
separated points against Riga, and
Dvinsk in Serbia, and in the Cham-
pagne district in France. In the two
former places they continue to make
progress but against the French their
attacks yesterday delivered to the
East of Rheims met with repulse as
did those of _the previous days. While
it was expected that the Austro~Ger-
man onslaught in the North would be
most formidable, as a matter of fact,
the Bulgarian attack against the Ser-
bians through the valleys from tho
East are proving the most dangerous.
It is definitely settled that the Bul-
garians have cut the Saloniki-Nlsh
railway to the North fo Vranya, thus
driving a wedge between the main
Serbian army and the Anglo-French
forces which landed at Saloniki. There
is another railway branching off at
Uskub which runs on the Western
side of Serbia but a considerable way
around. Besides. another Bulgarian
army is new approaching Kumsnovo
threatening junction at Uskup. With
the rapid sweep Westward of the Bul-
garians tho peoples of the Allied coun-
tries are watching `the negotiations
which are proceeding between the
Governments and the King and the
Government of Greece. These negotia-
tions which are being carried on by
the British Foreign Office on behalf
of the Allies, having failed to convince
Greece that it was her duty to abide
by the Serbo-Greek treaty to help Ser-
bia when she was attacked, the Al-
lies made a fresh offer to that coun-
try including the cession by Great Bri-
tain ef the Island of Cyprus. This of-
fer and the outline of possible finan-
cial help is being considered by thc
Zaimis Cabinet. Should the negotia-
tions fail it is expected Greece will bo
asked to demohilize or clearly doflnc
her attitude. Conversations are pro-
ceeding with Roumania which it is un-
derstood arc in charge of the French
Foreign Office. Meanwhile all tho bol-
ligerents realize the best -way to in-
fluence tho neutral states is by vic-
tory.
Austria. Germany and Bulgaria are
trying for this in Serbia; Germany in
Courland and France, [Italy in the
Tyrol ami Trcutino, Russia near Slo-
nim, which roughly is the centre of
the Eastern front. Volhynis and Gali-
cia. Except. for the German attack in
France all these are meeting with
more or less success. Field Marshal
Von Hindonburg in his attack on Riga
/
has reached Olai, which is half way
between Riga and Milan only a dozen
miles Southwest of the Baltic port.
The German offensive extends along
a front of about seventy miles and the
German flanking movement on the
right has reached Dvlna. River, thirty
miles Southeast of Riga from which
point the Dvinsk-Riga railway is be-
ing bombarded. As offset to this the
Russians by a dashing attack have
carried Geman positions Southeast of
Baronivichi, an important railway
junction East of Slomen on the Lida-
Rovno railway, taking more than three
thousand prisoners ami according to
a German official admission, have con-
tinued their success. According to
Petrograd the Russians are attempt-
ing to advance but continue their
thrust at the Austro-Germans, thus
doin! s. lot. of damage. `
Tho Italian advance in Tyrol and Tren-
tlno is being carried out in conformity
with a plan to relieve the pressure on
Serbia. New success is reported and
it is stated a general forward movc-
ment. is about tn begin. With the ex-
ception of a fow Gorman steamors

llad No Personal
No Question Ever
LONDON, Oct. 20.--Coming direct
from Buckingham Palace, where he
handed to King George the seals of
his office on his resignation from the
Cabinet, Sir Edward Carson appeared
in the House of Commons this after-
noon and set at rest all conjectures
regarding thc reasons for his retire-
ment.
Rising from his old seat on the
front opposition bench, the former at-
torney-general, in a few words, made
the House conversant with the cause
of the ministerial crisis, which, he
said, was due entirely to the fact that
he found himself in complete variance
with the cabinet on the question of
near eastern policy. He felt, there-
fore, that his presence in the cabinet
would be a source of weakness and
not of strength.
Sir Edward added that he never
had the slightest personal differences
with any of his colleagues. After ex-
pressing regret at the absence of Pre-
mier Asquith and stating that for this
reason he would give a briefer expla-
nation than he had intended, Sir Ed-
ward Carson said:
“I am well aware of the difficulties
under the existing circumstances of
making any full statement, or of say-
ing anything that might be taken hold
of as showing any signs of weakness
or divergence in the main object we
have in view-of carrying the war, at
all sacrifices, to a final and conclu-
sive issue. I need hardly say that
upon that issue there is not, and never
has been, either in the Cabinet or in
the House or in the country, any dis-
agreement or divergence of opinion.
“The real unity which the country
wants is that steadfast unity of pur-
pose to defeat our enemies and to
save our country, and I entirely deny
that the fact of hdlding a divergent
view as to the best policy and methods
to adopt in the various war theatres
in order to bring it to a succer J-.il
conclusion is in any sense an slew-».t
of disunion.
“I have seen criticisms of ~\.-»l=
and reasons for my resignatit ..  ..
very potty and malicious ch -.|~ .ein
attributing the motives to a pal ly and
political nature.
“I do not desire to deal with these
ridiculous assertions. except to say
now, in the presence of many of my
late colleagues, that since I ontorcd
the cabinet I never hoard a word of
discussion or dispute on those party
questions which diviricd us lmforc thc
war. In every cabinet meeting I at-
tended we all devoted our cuergics
wholly and solely to the discussion of
questions which arose with rclcrcncc
to the prosecution oi' the war.
"I also dssirc to say that during the
whole time I have been in the cabinet
I never have had any personal diticr-
ence either with tllie Prime Minister,
whose unvarying courtesy I dosiro to
acknowledge, or with any one of my
late colleagues. May I also add that
no ono realizes moro than I tho great
difiicultics undcr which we labor, ow-
ing to tho fact that our policy and
methods must, at all times, ho adopt-
cd in concert and co-ordination with
our various allies. and must also very
frequently be framed with a view to
consulting sentiments and foolings in
those neutral countries with whom we
rcmaln on friendly terms. This often
has been lost sight of by critics of our
actions who cannot possibly know the
difficulties which arise from time to
time.
“Difficulties which have arisen in
tho Eastern war theatres have creat-
ed a situation which. to my miitd.
lmust necessarily lead to far-reaching
results.
"At the time I entered the cabinet
.ws already were committed to what
may be called the operations in Galli-
poli. It is not, of course, my intention
to deal either with tho inception or
the carrying out of those operations.
but it must be plain to any observer
that the new war theatre in the Bal-
kans created a situation which could
not be divorced from our position on
the Gallipoli peninsula, and the state-
ment made in this House by the For-
eign Minister, with the sanction ot the
cabinet, appeared to me to be an an-
nouncement of a policy of the highest
importance with regard to our obliga-
tions in the Balkans involving our

clearly defined, well thought out and
decisive policy on the part of the Gov-
ernment, arid, finding myself unable
to agree in any respect with what I
understood to be laid down as a pol-
icy approved by tho Government I felt
that my presence in the cabinet could
not be of any use in the critical situa-
tion in which we were involved.
“I need hardly say I am not sug-
gesting that my views could possibly
be compared with those who have
much more experience and greater
wisdom in dealing with such situa-
tions, but at the same time I held,
and hold, the views I have expressed,
very stronglyfnnd I -hope the HOHBB
will believe, conscientiously and pat-
riotically. I did not think that in the
circumstances I could be anything but
a source of weakness at a time requir-
ing great strength and consistency.
“That is all I can say, and I ask
the House to believe that in the course
I have taken I have been actuated by
no_ personal party motive, but that I
have acted to the best of my ability
solely in the interests of my country-"
Sir Edward Carson's speech was
punctuated with cheers and was cou-
cluded amid loud cheers.

the example of Australia.

submarine construction with a view
to building submarines in Australia.
llc hoped that the day was not far
distant when the construction of a
battleship would bc attempted.
Mr llughcs. tho federal attorney-
gcnornl. said he was sure that those
present would live to seo a squadron
composed of Australian, Canadian and
New Zealand ships. I
