Some Heroes Who Won the Victoria.

“You know l got a bar to the Vic-
toria. Cross," said the famous Corporal
.i.  Kerr, the first Maritime Pro-
vince soldier to win the highest decor-
ation within the gift. of the British
War Office. and- he pointed, its explain
ation for his statement. to his English
bride who_stood proudly by his side.
"l prize the bar' more than the Cross",
he said:

talion- and -on arrival in -England was

and with ii machine gllii were niowiiigl

brawny lumberniun, single-lianded he
rushed the positions, bayonetted iind'
clubbed several of the Boclies and
then seizing the machine gun tnriied
it upon the enemy and routed the eil-
tlre party, killing most of them. Hail-
ed as the Canadians Michael' Olheary.
he took his honors easily and was nt-
ter decorated with the Victoria. Cross

There is only one thing that Kerr

LONDON. lllarcii 20.-The foi'eigii

bodying a protest of the entente pi'e-
niiers and t`oreign ministers assemb-
led in London against Gerinaiiy's act-
ion, in the name of German peace. to-
ward the Russian people. The pro-
test concludes: “Peace is loildly ad-
vertised. but under the disguise oi'
“Peace treaties such as these we do
not "and cannot acknowledge. Our
own ends are very different. We are
fighting, and mean to continue fight-
ing, iii order to finish once for all.
with this policy oi’ plunder, and to es-
tablish in its place the peaceful
reign of organized justice.
“As incideiits of this long war un-
roll theinsclves bei`oree our eycs,iilore

the battles for t`roedoni are every-
where iiiter-dependeiit; that po separ-
ate enumeration of tiieiii is needed
and that in every case the single., but
all-sufficient, appeal is to justice and
right.
“Arc justice and right going to
win? In so tar as the issue 'depends
on battles yet to come, the nations
whose tate is in the balance may sure-
ly put their trust in the armies,
