A Belgian writing Oh one occasion said: “We live in s nightmare of terror; we know not sr t ‘to 'd.o. We have lost all we pos- sess; wa~,are in want. The winter is coming and I fear we will all perish,” This is sad to contemplate. Without any provocation their country was ln- vaded and- laid waste with fire and sword. All that was beautiful and grand is now ln ruin. They have_no home, they live with strangers. Many of them left their country never to return; families separated, many a parent has lost a child and the child will never know his parents. _They are ln exile. It was not the soldiers only that suffered death and anguish but the fathers and mothers; the bro- thers and sisters, even the small chil- dren shllred in its horrors. Deeds most revolting will form the darkest pages of history when this campaign against Belgium will he written. ln inquiring why this cruel war was waged against Belgium with such violence. it brings me back to Germany in 1870. Germany defeated France ln a very short time and got a large indemnity. Tlll.s slle used in the arts and sciences, particularly in bringing her army and navy to a high state of perfection. No country in Eu- rope progressed us she did, con- sequently we found her, when war was declared, ln a high state of perfection and ready to marcll at will. INFAMOUS PROPOSAL REJECTED. When Germany was ready to march on France the Kaiser wrote to the King oil, Belgium offering indepen- dence, liberty and protection as well as payment for damages and payment for the transport of his troops across Belgian territory to the borders of France. This Belgium refused to do saying that rather than betray the countries that guaranteed her inde- pendence she would fight whilst a sol- dier was alive. Belgium mobilized at once and went forward to meet the German soldiers then marching on to Belgium. The Belglans hastily threw up some trenches and engaged the Germans near Liege and defeated them. The German hosts were brought forward 20 to 1. They beat back the Belglans but not before they inflicted great slaughter on them. So serious and accurate was the Belgian llre that the Germans were kept back for many days with great loss, giving France time to mobilize and march on to Belgium. The Germans are now further check- ed but still have many more troops than the Allies. Their march on Paris grew more uncertain as the French troops increased and they were finally driven back. Being fooled ill his plans, the Kal- ser gives way to despair. You remem- ber the Kaiser had a schedule time set to_enter Paris. He calculuted_on s; safe passport through Belgium on s. Belgian train to the borders of France at a place with access to Paris and wltllout fortification because France only fortified her own borders against Germany. They never expect- ed 'that Germany would break the treaty she had _made with Belgium. Consequently the reason for the un- usual and desperate deeds of terror and murder that characterise this Ger- mun campaign. Canadu’s contribution to the Belgian Fund wus a worthy one. Those who gave will not regret lt. It was charity as those people were starving. LIBERTY INDEPENDENCE PRO- TECTION. As British we must not forget that Belgium was lighting our battles as Lord Grey's conversation clearly shows. ` Our gift of one hundred thousand CHILDREN- Hill PILLS.

Often poor children suffered for the want of books. At present books are within the reach of every child; no pus _need suffer for the want of a book. During the past year agriculture has prospered; our crops were flue and prices good. Live stock conditions continue to improve. This is important to the farmer. Exhibitions and fairs have received financial aid. We now read from time to time of the different fairs taking place at the dlnerent centres. This, no doubt, will be a stimulus to the farming public. ‘ltis pleasing to note a further re- duction of debt is to be recorded. A Government that can make such improvement on the works of previous Government and have a surplus whilst the latter one had a deficit is a Government worthy of credit. Some three years ago this Government came into power. The late Government left a debt of over one million dollars. There was a deficit every year in power $12,000 to $120,000 alld interest on debt was $40,000. One of the great essentials of a gov- ernment is to be able to give its coun- try good government and to have a surplus. Allowing deficits to roll up year after year is not business and should not be tolerated by any coun- try. Public works were run down bridg- es were falling into decay, the roads in many places were not repaired for years. This Government had a Her- culean task. Our Premier on coming into power went to work with a firm resolve to improve the situation. In a very short time you found our Gov- ernment in Ottawa presslllg our claims before the Dominion Govern- ment so strongly that we’ were given $100,000 a year for all time to come. They also pressed our claims for the oyster areas and they got lll our right free and for ever. The best the late Government would do was to give our Government one half of the proceeds after our Government would pay ex- pense of surveying. They also got. $20,000 a year for agriculture. Whilst I llnd only words of praise for our Government ln the way they have financed the affairs of Govern- ment und improved Legislature gen- erally, I did on one or two occasions differ. I did so at the request of my electors. It was a request of prlvl- lege which I could not deny. Al- though that did happen 1 believe that our Premier intends to do what is right and just for our farmes because I see that he has this opportunity of appointing two farmers to the Exe- cutlve. 1 congratulate them on their appointment. ln the hereafter the farmers of the First and Second Dis- tricts will expect them to stand by them. _ From this forward on this Island I look forward for prosperity and con- tentment. THE PREMIER-Mr. Feehan hav- ing concluded his address-moved the adjournment of the debate. In doing so he said: “lt has been the custom infthis House, as far back as our know- ledge goes, that after the mover and seronder have concluded their speech- es the Leader of the Opposition shall reply. The Leader of the Oppo.sitlon ls unavoidably absent. Perhaps even at the future date to whlcll I am going to ask that the House be adjourned ho may not be able to uttelld; but I con- sider that we should give him every opportunity to be present before we pass the present stage ln the debate. The .speeches of the Hon. gentlemen will no doubt be in the press and all opportunity will be given to deal with them in the ordinary way and at n later tlne by the gentlemen of the Op- position. The reason~,-therefore, why I make this motion is for tile purpose stated. - This also may be a proper time to say something as to the cause of ab- sence of tile Leader of the Opposition. He was called away to Ottawa on nc- count of the last llllless and the death ,of his brother, Mr. James W. Rich- ards, wllo for many years occupied n seat ln this House. He was first elect- ed to the Legislature in Confederation year 1873 and sat continuously hero untll 1904, a period of 31 years. Of tllat 31 years he was for 13 years a member of the Government, and when he left this House lt was to contest election for a seat ln the Federal Par- liament. To this seat he was elected in 1908 and since that time and up to the time of his death he represented in the House of Commons of Canada the County of Prince. His political ca- reer iu tlllsfprovlnce measured only against that of the Hon. A. J. McDon- aid. of Georgetown. who still survives. Mr. Richards was by some years the younger man, but he had commenced 'his political career at an earlier age. Now he ls gone. and when we look back upon that long Parliamentary life there are some circumstances that are specially marked. He was re- strained. perhaps through excessive modesty, from pushing his opportum. ties to the limit of which they and he were capable; but all who -knew him best can truly say this, that lle was at all times generous to friends, for- besrlng. to enemies. and aiiabie with all. l`s\lliP08e it can be said of him, with as much truth sa of any man at the close of his poiiticab career, that he made no enemies. I have never heard him utter one unkind 'word or make an unganerous statement with regard to a political opponent; and perhaps when we have said that of a man with the long experience that he * For Protection against the serious sickness so li elytlofollowanallmentofthe digestive organs,-bilousness ‘or nactlve bowels, youoanrely on the best known corrective ` eecliaills as DFT/RPN. has had, we have made a statement of truth that is among the rarest of all. On behalf of the l-lohse I would like to say that his family and friends have our deepest sympathy, and I trust that when our political careers are closed we may be able to receive, with some degree of truth, something of that same praise of the kindly heart and guarded tongue that mark- ed the career of our departed friend. HON. M11. DALTON said he felt lt his duty that evening to say a few words in regard to the death of their good friend. Tile greater portloll of his life had been spent ill the service of his country and of bis people and he (lVi°r. Dalton) did-not think any pol- itician had as many friends-not more at any rate-as Mr. James Richards. He had known Mr. Richards from boy- hood and had always known him to be a popular man, evidence of which was .seen in the fact that he had been repeatedly returned to Parliament. Any man 'that collld be capable of re- presenting a party as Mr. Richards had done would be considered a good and holiest nlall. Speaking ill behulf of Prince County, he was glad that the Prenller should that evening have expressed such sentiments lu regard to the deceased gentleman. He was very glad that the House so respected him that they were prepared to ad- journ for ll. few days in order that llls brother, the Leader of the Opposltioll, might have an oppolunlty ol' speaking oil the Governor's Speech. He thought it the duty of some of the Government members to attend the funeral. I-ION. MR, McLEAN said he could not let that opportunity pass wltllout saying u. few words ln regard to Mr. Richards. He had known lllm for 45 years and sat with him ln that House for a good many years; and although they were on oposlte sides they had always been the best of friends. No lnan could be anything else than friendly with Mr. Itlchards. As the Premier had remarked, Mr. Richards never said all ullkllld word about any person. Of great ability, he was one of the most pleasing speakers that had ever stood in that House. He was always as courteous to his opponents as to his friends, and his popularity was won in that way and not by any nggresslveness on his part; it was be- cause of ills well-known ability ulld ills genial manner. THE PREMIER here stated tllat yesterday he had enquired of Mr. John Richards, Leader of the Opposition. by telephone. He was then in Plctou in charge of the body of ills brother. His intention was to leave Picton on the first boat for the Island. He had just made inquiries to find out whetllcr tllegboat was liable to get illto George- town tllat lilly .or -not, but no move- ment had been made. When the body came to Charlottetown ---the funeral would leave from the Queen Hotel to the Railway station, and those wllo attended were not expected lo go any further.. He had discussed the mat- ter wltll Mr. Richards alld he had pro- posed that they should not feel them- selves obliged to go any i'llrther than Charlottetown. If the body arrived in the evening they would know that the funeral would be llert morning ill time to catch the Western trnin. The motloll of the Premier tllat the debate be adjourned was then put to thu vote and carried. TIIE PREMIER moved lllut when the House adjourned lt should stand adjourned until Tuesday llcxt at 3 ofclock lil the afternoon. The lllotioll was carried. . ln moving the adjournment of the House the Premier said that upon the re-assembling the debate on the ad- dress would proceed to its conclusion. They could not, according to llnle-llon- cred custom, introduce the bills for the consideration of the House ulltll the debate was disposed `ol. The House was tilen adjourned to Tuesday next at 3 p.m, MEDICAL MEN ASK FOR ABOLITION OF RUM RATION IN ARMY.
