HALIFAX, March 19- The British
steamer Batiscan from Louisliurg to
St. Jolfn with coal is believed to have
struck on Trnlnity Ledges. eil’ Yar-
mouth county, and gone to pieces.
Yesterday morning C. H. Harvey,

pool" had come ashore at Deep Cove.
in the boat were the bodies ot three
Chinese or Japanese. A message
I from ‘Sydney stated that the Batiscan
left Louisburg on Thursday last
with a cargo of coal for the Dominion
Coal Company which had the steam-
er uilder charter. ilncluding Cap-
tain John Evans there were forty-
one persons on board: nine officers
and a crew ot thirty-two Chinese. So
Ifai' as known none of the officers

Tile chairman in it few well point-
ed remarks introduced Mr. Knight.
hi the course of which he stated
that the general aim of the Associa-
tion wns to help the returned men to
beconle good citizens, to help in
sending support and comfort to the
soldiers overseas on the various
fronts and to see that their depen-
""'ii'ents"do not want.
MAJOR KNlGHT‘S ADDRESS. -
Major Knight prefaced his reniarks
with the statementthal, he came ul>-
on a constructive. not u destructive
mission. I-Ie did not wish to be con-
sidered il “b1itter-in." The almS_0l`
the Great War Veterans’ Association
were that the dependents of the re-
turned men and men overseas re-
ceive consideration at the hands of
the Government so that none of them
need to come to want or poverty. but
at the same time not to be forgetful
of the men overseas themselves.
in picturing the suffering and ago-
ny of the men at the battlel'i-ont, Mu-
,lor Knight said the soldier. who in
his ease and comfort at home neglec-
ted er forgot the men who were still
fighting, was unworthy the name of
soldier and not worthy the esteem of
honorable men.
The first duty oi' returned men. he
said. and the first duty of the G.W.
V.A. was to see that the men at the
front were properly supported by re-
inforcements. The first interest
enters upon the conduct of the war
and that men will be sent forward to
meet the present need for more men
at the front at the earliest possible
moment. _

There are those who say there is no

THAT MAN UNTIL HE DONNED
THE KHAKI. The man who has
worn the khaki ill France and Flami-
ers had taken part in the biggest

“The returned soldier," ilccltiretl
Major Klllglit,” docs not come want-
ing your job. nor your iiousc, nor
your money-but he lilies want you to
liolp him make Canadit a better coun-
try -to live ln. There is plenty oi'
rooln for improvement iii our nation-
al life, and in enlisting, the soldier
promised to serve you, i'ro1n that day
until his body is laid in its grave."
The soldier is still a soldier. in uni-
form or multi.
The soldier does not want exeliip-
tion l'roin taxation. declared the
speaker, for the “sonietliing i`or no-
thing" spirit would inake him stir-
render his rights as it citizen. The,
returned soldier simply wants in be,
a responsible and honorable citizen.
as lie was ii soldier.
-In touching on the political inspect
ot' -the returned soldier situation und
the G.W.V.A., Major Knight said
that assuredly an organization with
over 41,000 nienibers, located all over
the Dominion would not refrain fronii
entering -the political life of the coun-
try. iilitiided together, the soldier
build up it better memorial to the
men who are gone than any that has
_vet been erected-a (lunatic, pure and
purged, and so glorious in the hall
of nations that the heroes who rest
in their graves will thank God for the
opportunity ol’ serving her.
‘Even as a soldier goes through
his 'hell oi' agony, he knows he
serves others, mid in doing so.
finds God.”
Taking up the work of the Associa-
tion, Major Knight sald that the dif-
ferent branches of the G.W.V.A.
did not cater to the social appetites of
its members. The rooms were bu-
siness pluces-where there wus plen-
ty of work to be dolic. -
"We mean business," lic dcclurcd,
“and wo liieet to work. not to kill
time." '

The same work can be done in
Charlottetown and in the Province.
“l-lc is faithful who serves beet."
He though the G.W.V.A. could do
more for l’.E. island than any other
organization. especially in the mat-
ter of handling and adjusting the
claims and conlplalnts oi' returned
soldiers.
"In a moral way too," Ile declared,
“the Association can help the men.
The man wllo has faced death on
the battlefield is it far better lnan
than ,when he left his home. The
men coming home are the highest
standard you will find anYWIl0\'0-"
The speaker compared two types.

or and Jellicne. eligible for service
but who did nothing but criticise. and

The subject involved, Sir Wilfrid
suid. was one of very great lmpoit-
niicn, as he understood that the treaty
permitted coiiscription on either side
of the line.
"Of their own sulijects.' interposed
Sli' Robert Borden.
“Sir Wilfrid went on to say that
Grout Britain und Franco were as un-
ited as they could be, but he did not
think ii would be thought possible for

This was u. very wide departlrre from

vl'essc0 U10 Imac that Sir Wilfrid
would not press his argument on the

ing with another matter.
AN o1.o Joke. _
Sir Robert Borden said that -Sir
Wilfrid's remarks were not relev-
otliei' bill ol' wliicli Sir (leo. Foster lent to the motion under discussion.
He characterized the opposition
li-ader's reference to “truck or trade
with the Yankees" as an old joke.
and suggested that Sir Wilfrid should
give it a rest for a time. Sir Robert
did not make any statement in reply
lo sir Wllfrid's observation as to the
turiI'I', but explained that the treaty
hutweeii the United States and, Can#
uilu, lietnils in regard to which have
1tl1°o1uly been made public, would be
tabled as soon as ratified by the Un-
