LETTER FROM DEAD A
READ IN COMMONS
Sir Robert Borden Read Letter Just Received
from Col. Farquhar
Written Shortly Before
His Death in Battle Telling of Gallant Dash
Made by Canadians.
(From our Own Reporter.)
OTTAWA, March 22.-A message
from the dead was read in the Com-
mons to-day. Sir Robert Borden read
to the House a letter he had just re-
ceived front Col. Farquhar. the dead
commander of the Canadian crack
regiment, the Princess Pats Light
Infantry. In simple language. befit-
ting a soldier, ite proudly told of a
spirited and dashing attack on the
German front made by a company of
his regiment led by Lieutenant C. E.
tirubhe and Lieut. 'l‘albot M. Papineau,
great-grandson of the famous French-
t‘.anadian orator and statesman, Louis
J, Papineau. Col. Farquhar enclosed
messages of congratulations which he
had received from Field Marshal Sir
John French and from fatnous British
regiments. They spoke words which
will titrlll every Canadian with pride.
The letter of Col. Farquhar which ex-
plained the episode was in part as
tollows:-
" The enenty had been ver active
y .
ln front of' us, utul reconnaissancei
niado it clear to me that wo had an
opening. For various reasons if, was
lnndvisablo to occupy the trcnch, so
lgot leave to rush it and pull dowtt
the parapet. Crabbe and Papineuu lcd
the party. tlte latter being the botnb
thrower. They both showed very great
dash and ran the Toutons off their
legs. Nothing could have boen more
spirited than the way the men wettt
in.'I
A message from Sir John French
read:-
“l lteartily congratulate you attd
your gallant regiment on your success-
ful operations this morning. Please
convey to Lieut. (Irabbe and the party
he led my great appreciation of their
services."
The officer commanding one of the
ntost famous of English regiments~
the King’s Royal Rifles-sent this
tttessagez-
“ Best congratulations on the
achievement of last night. Please tell
us how you do it."
The messages were read to a ilouse
which showed by its silence tlte deep
impression which the words of the de-
parted soldier made upon the mem-
bers.
In an equally impressive silence
were heard the tributes of Sir Robert
Borden and Sir Wilfrid Laurier. The
Premier said that the ttews of Col.
I"arquhar’s death had been received
with the deepest sorrow. Of all the
able men wlto had served in the
capacity of Military Secretary to the
Governor General at Ottawa, he did
not know of one wlto had done his
work more efficiently, or wlto had
more endeared himself to the Caita-
.dian people. Ile believed tltat all the
members of the House would join in
an expression of deep sorrow on this
sad occasion.
Sir Wilfrid said Canadians would
hear of the death of Col. Farquhar,
and the telegrams which ltad been
Tjread, with a mingled sense of sorrow,
ipridc and gratification. They were
tproud of the fine work done by their
buys at the front, but sorry to hear of
the death of tlte commander of the
Princess Patricia's regiment.
“ May I be permitted to say,” Sir
Wilfrid added, “ that_l was touched to
hear tlte name of Papineau mentioned
as atnong those who have done so
well. And the House willbc gratified
to know that the gentleman who is tlte
bearer of' this name is the grentgrand-
son of one who did good work in his
day in his own way for freedom in
Canada. The words of praise for Col.
l"art|ultar, l ant sure, are a deserved
tribute. lt has been my personal
privilege to know n. good many oi'
those who held the oillco that ite held,
and it is duc to him to say that by his
fact, kindness, good judgment and his
constant desire to do his duty hc was
the equal of ally one of tltctn."
The Cotntnotis spent most of to-day
discussing trade and commerce and
Indiatt estimates.
Sir George Poster, in the course of
tlte discussion of tlte estimates of his
Department, made tite intereesting nn-
nounccment that strong efforts were
being matic with the liritish Admiralty
to have some oi’ the big Canadian
freighfcrs which had been comman-
docred by tlte Imperial Governmettt
released. He pointed out tltat the
British authorities had requisltiotted
ntost of the Atlantic steamsltips, and
the question of transport was, at the
present time. it serious problem. The
Admiralty had recently placed eigh-
teen stettnters in services to rttn be-
tween t‘nnada and France, bttt they
were to carry Government supplies,
and would bc or little assistance to
general frcight transport. Sir George
slated tltat the big t‘.,P.It. fleet was
now reduced to three cargo steamors
and one passenger steamer. All of the
(‘..N.It. boats had been commandeered
attd the Wltitc Star line had but one
steamer in service. The Alluns had
several boats left, btti only of at small
capacity. Sir George expected that
considerable luke tonnage wettld be
chartered i'or Atlantic service, but
they could ttot take the place of the
big ocean frcighters. The Minister
hoped titut by May lst, some arrange-
ments would be arrived at with the
Admiralty.

PETROGRAD, March 22.--It was
officially announced this morning tltat
the Galician fortress of Przemysl sur-
rendered to the Russians to-day. As
soon as news of the fail of Przemysl
reached the headquarters of the Rus-
sian commander-in-cltief. a. Te Deum

Grand Duke Nicitolas and all their
staffs.
t The announcement of the fall caus-
ed great rejoicing at Petrograd where
the Russians victory was regarded as
of the utmost importance in opening
the way for a determined advance
against Cracow and thence into Sile-
sia, tlte “gateway to Berlin,"
The siege of Przemysi, the Austrian
stronghold in the province of Galicia,
has been underway since the early
days of the war. lt has been a hitter
relentless siege which had ncvcr been
relaxed for a day since thc Russians
invested the city. Several attempts
by thc Austrians to raise the siege,
the latest of which was made only a
short time ago, have failed.
With the fall of Przemysl the only
which is still ht the hands of the Aus-
trinns is Cracow in Northwestern Gal-
icia, close to tlte German border. In
the early days of the war the Rus-
sians' offensive campaign as outlined
ttnoflicially contemplated the invasion
of Germany through East Prussia in
the North and simultaneously into Si-
lesin. from Galicia. The Russians suc-
ceeded in penetrating Galicia but the-
of thanksgiving was celebrated in the,
important fortified town in .Gaiiciu.T

success of the Austrians holding ‘
Przemysl biockaded their attempts to
invade Germany across the Silesia
border.
The garrison of Przemysl originally
numbered sixty to eighty thousand
men, but sorties and shells must have
cut a considerable number of tltou-
sands from that total. The besieglng
army is understood to number about
120,000 officers and men. This force
will now march on the strong Austrian
fortress of Cracow. 125 miles East of
Przemysi, it being the announced de-
termination of the Russian comman-
der-ln-chlef to reduce that Polish capi-
tal as speedily as possible.
The fall of Przemysi gives Russia
control virtually of all Eastern Galicia
and releases the Russian army which
has been besieglng the city for service
elsewhere. Nothing since the capture
of Lemberg and the sweep of the vic-
torious Russian army through Galicia
in the beginning of the war ltus arous-
cd such itttcrest and enthusiasm.
Newspaper offices and army head-
quarters are bombarded with requests
for information. A crowd stood in a
peltlng snowstorm for bulletin boards.
The fate of the fortress has been in-
evitable since the failure of the last
Austrlatt drive from the Soutltward
for its relief. There have been daily
evidences of shortage of provisions
and the ravages of disease. The lines
around the city were gradually drawn
closer until for the past two weeks

range of the outer walls. Russian art-
illery pounded the forts ceaselessly.
An Austrian sortie last Saturday ac-
companied with such an extravagant
use of ammunition as to convey the
impression that the besieged army
was at the end of its resources and
desired to consume the remainder of
the ammunition before surrendering.
Although Przemysl was eliminated as
a positive menace to Russians operat-
ing in Galicia. since lt was isolated
and surrounded early in October, it
was always tt. potential source of dan-
ger. Stubborn battles have been
fought there between Russians and
the garrison and relief columns which
on some occasions were pushed to
within 25 miles of the city. It is be-
lieved now the next move in Galicia
will be a Russian advance towards
Cracow. The Austrians have been
virtually driven out of the territory
as far South as (larpathians.

NELIT. SETTING SHIP  
IN BHETT ITTNEEH
(Special to The Guardian)
ST. JOHN'S, Nfld.. March 22.-Fur-
ther misfortune to the sealing fleet
,was reported to-night when word came
that the steamer Eagle, one of eight
jammed in ice off tlte Eastern coast of
Newfoundland, was in a serious plight
in Notre Dame Bay. Capt. Bishop of
_the vessel sent a wireless to the own-
ers that arrangements were being
-made to abandon the ship. Her boats,
tents and supplies of food and fuel
were taken out on the ice alongside
so that they might not be carried down
should the ship sink suddenly.
Veterans of sealing here express the
,belief that the crew of the Eagle will
be forced to make a dangerous trip
over the ice fioes to Twillingate, the
despatches. The. italian Embassy at
London had no confirmation to-night
of,,the report that freight traffic bc-
tween Italy and Germany by way of
Switzerland had been stopped, nor was
there confirmation of the reported
messing of Austrian and German
troops along the Austrian littoral or
the Assembling of artillery at Trieste.

stood the onslaught longer than any
place during the war. investment hav-
ing begun about Sept. 16, something
more than six months ago. The dura-
tion of the siege, compared with the
length of time it took the Germans to
capture Liege, Namur and Antwerp,
is due to two causes, one being the
desire of the Russians to keep the loss
of life among the besieging army at
the minimum; the other to lack of
great guns which the Germans had in
Belgium. The investment was ttot a.
close one, the garrison having had up
until recently rt radius of about twelve
miles in which to move about, and
some despatches told of shooting ex-
peditions indulged in by officers of the
garrison. An aeroplane post was
maintained almost up to the last, and
it is said scanty food supplies were
carried this way.

might have been avoided by a Euro-

many desired," Foreign Secretary Sir
Edward Grey told a London audience.
At the time ite was acting clieirntan
of a gathering which was listening to
a lecture on the strategy of war.
Commenting along this line, thc
Foreign Secretary said Germany, from
hor experience in the Balkans confer-
ence knew she could count on our
goodwill and we were ready to do
last July what we did before, but
Germany refused every suggestion.
and on her relies for all time the
appalling responsibility for the war.
We now know that Germany had pre-
pared for war, and only those who
have planned for war can prepare for
It”
Amid loud cheers Sir Edward Grey
added: " This is the fourth time with-
in living memory that Prussia has
made war upon Europe, and we are
determined it shall be the last.”
The expenditure of' hundreds of mii-
lions of money and the loss of mii-
lions of lives might have been avoid-
ed by it conference of European Pow-
ers heid in London or at tite Hague
or wherever and whatever form Ger-
many would have consented to hold.
lt would have been far easier to have
settled the dispute between Austria,
Hungary and Servlet, which Germany
made the occasion for the war then,
than it was to get successfully through
the Balkan war two years ago. “ln
the recent year,” the Foreign Secre-
tary went on to say, “we have given
Germany every assurance that

front us. We withheld from her
only one thing, the unconditional pro-
mise to stand aside however aggres-
sive Gcrntany herself might be to her
neighbor. Last July before the out-
brcak of war. France, Italy and Rus-
sia were ready to accept a. conference
pbut Germany refused all suggestions
made for settling the dispute in this
way and on her must now and for all
time rest the appalling responsibility
of having plunged Europe into this
war."
Asking what is the issue- for which
we are fighting, Sir Edward proceeded
as follows: “In due time peace will
be put forward ivy the Allies. One es-
sential condition must be the restora-
tion to Belgium of her independence,
national life and free possession of
territory. The great issue is this: we
wish thc nations of Europe to be free
to live their independent lives work-
ing out their own form of Government
whether they be great or small states.
That is our ideal."
The German ideal is that Germans
are superior people to whom all
things are lawful, against whom re-
sistance is unlawful and must be put
down. Titus they must establish a
domination over the nations of the
continent and _these must be subser-
vient. to Germany. I would rather per-
ish or leave the continent altogether
than live under such conditions. After
this war we and the other nations of
Europe must be free to live without
interference by a superior war lord.

THE MTSTEHS MILITAHISM
The opening service in the evangel-
istic campaign at the Baptist Church
was well attended last night. Rev.
L. E. Ackland preached an inspiring
and most appropriate sermon, speak-
ing from the text, “I came not to seek
peace but a sword, etc," Mt. 10 1 34-39.
He said: A single note runs through
this paragraph; it is a hugle call
sounding thc charge that sets in mo-
tion tlte hosts of God t'or thc spiritual
conflict. The Muster was never in
doubt for a. moment what reception
I-lls Gospel would tncct. with or what
its effects in the world would bo; nor
did he leave ills followers in doubt.
I. The Gospel is a call to warfare.
Jesus Christ sends a sword against
every false pence, against tho pi-acc of
self-satisfaction, of idlcncss, ot' indif-
ference. Christ ntukcs wa.” in thc
heart against all forms of selfishness
and of impurity. lic tvaigcs ct-useless

church as an instrument of wurl'~trc to

Il. The Gospel of Christ draws tt
sharp dividing line between matt and
matt, between soul and soul. Jesus
said: 1 am come to set. a. man at var-
iance agalnst his father, the daughter
against hor mother. This dividing
line cuts across the closest. ties, scvcrs
the most intimate associations. Jesus'
coming to earth showed the universe
of conscious spirits cleft into two ltos-
tile forces. Angels rejoiced to un-
nounce His birth. All hell was roused
to meet Hint at Ilis coming; and all
hell awoke in the hcart ofa murderous
king to destroy the new bortt Christ.
The multitudes who came to film dttr-
lttg His ministry were divided. There
was no tteutrnlity. Joseph of Arima-
thea and Nicodemus lost tltoir neutra-
lity and became open friends when
Jesus died. Judas tried to follow

by selling his Lord. Jesus said it
