GOD SAVE TIIE KING

To-day throughout the British F.mpire the birthday
of His Majesty King George the Fifth will be loyully
and lovingly commemorated. Owing to the \var the
celebration will be on a less elaborate scale than has
been the custom under happier conditions, but the con-
ditions which \vould make ally elaborate dclnonstra-
tion inappropriate will only intensify the loyalty and
the patriotism of every British subject and give a
newer and deeper meaning to the prayer, God Save
the King. 'i`he tiring of the usual royal salutes will'be
dispensedwith as has been the case ill all imperial ce-
lebrations since the war began. The stores will be
open and business generally will be as usual with the
exception of the closing of banks and public offices.
I\'ing iieorge is fifty one years old to-day. It has
been his lot to connnand the army _and the navy of
Great Britain in the greatest war ill the history of the
world and the prayer of every loyal British subject is
that he shall live for lnany years after the greatest
victory in the history of the world has been celebra-
ted.
\\'hile the war is no less sanguinary than it was a
year ago, while thousands of lives are being snufled
out almost daily there are many evidences of the ap-
proaching end. Germany is being slowly but surely
hennned ill by a ring of steel that 'cannot bc broken;
distress and want of a kind calculated to make the
(fiernian victims of lnilitarism realize the dcvelishness
of the system that has brought this curse upon them,
are becoming evident throughout the German Em-
pire; tlle terrible waste of life at’ Verdun for which
there could be no military advantage to the Germans
even if they should succeed in capturing the position,
is no\v being realized not only by the German soldiers
but by the (iernlan people at large. All these and the
ever increasing strength and effectiveness of the En-
tente .'\llics point to an end in the not distant future
and it is reasonable to hope that before we again have
the pleasure of commemorating the King`s birthday
we shall have the privilege of celebrating a greater
day even than the birthday of our much loved King-
the day when Peace shall be declared, the birthday of
a world newborn, a world from which the possibility
of a universal shambles like the present will have been
banished forever. l"or this day \ve pray and none the
less fervently as we pray God Save the King.

SUNDAY SCHOOL CENTENNIAL
'l`lle amliversary of the opening ol' the \\`esleya1
Methodist Sunday School in (_`harlottctown one lmn-
drcd years ago, will be observed by special appropriate
services tolnorrow in the First i\Ieth`odist Church and
in the Heartz .\lemoriai Hall. It may be interesting
to know that this was the first Sunday School of any
denomination organized in Prince lidward Island. it
came into existence in the old \\"esleyan Chapel that
stood on Iiiclnnond Street west, below the Royal Bank
corner. This was just thirty-five years after Robert
Raikes had started the first Sunday School in the
world. liight years later in August, |824, St. Pauls
Church Sunday School was formed in thc first Episco-
pal church, that stood on Queen Square near tho site
of the present l"ost Office building. Since that time
Stnlday Scllools of every denomination df Christians,
for the moral and spiritual training of the rising ge-
neration, llavc come into existence all over this land,
and faithful teachers arc always found willing to
carry on this noble work.
ln connection with the celebration of the one hun-N
dredth anniversary.tomorro\v special sermons will be
preached in the First l\lethodist Church morning alld
evening by the Rev. W. H. l$arraclougll,.li. A., the
eloquent Pastor of Centenary Church, bt. john, New
special music has been procured for the occasion. ln
the afternoon at 2.30 o'c_l0ck a special Centenary Ser-
vice will be held in the Heart: Memorial Hall. At this
meeting, in addition to short addresses by the Rev. Mr.
Barraclough and others, in which reference wi-ll be
made to the forma_tion'and history oi' the School, an
interesting programme consisting of singing and reci-
tations by the younger scholars df the School, will be
given. `_ `
This School that has been in operation without in-
terruption since 1816 and now celebrating its nataldday
is to be congratulated upon its marked successes dur-
ing the century that has just closed upon it. It has
grown with the years and advanced with the times, and
the institution that had its birth in an unfinished pri-
mitive “Meeting housc" no\v has its home in a beauti-
fully finished building, fully equipped with every mo-
dern eonticnience for its work provided bythe muni-
ficence of one of its members who through many years
of his long life attended the School both as a scholar
and teacher. ' _

' THE RETREAT BEGUN
There was a significant incident before the colli-
lnission enquiring into the work of the Canadian Shell
Commitece on Tuesday, says the Montreal Gazette.
Major-(ieneral Hughes had submitted a statement of
his connection with the Shell Connnittee. \Vhat he
said was in accord with what had been said by Brig-
adier-General Bertram, by Lieutenant-Colonel Carne-
gie, by Mr. David Carnegie and by any‘who could
speak with authority of the work of the committee.
The evidence has been reported with unusual fulness.
Any who had the desire had the opportunity of under-
standing its mcaning and effect. The committee sought
by the means at its command to secure for the British
Government, whose agent it was, supplies of required
material as rapidly as possible and at moderate prices;
and it did what it sought to do. Major-General
Hughes, though a member of the connnittee and in a
\vay responsible for its being established, did not inter-
fere with its work in lettillg contracts. The nlore he
was questioned the clearer was this made. Neither the
doeuments stolen from the Shell Committce’s offices,
nor those which may have been prepared for use before
the colnmission, changed the impression created. Mr.
Helhnuth, one of the counsel before the conunission,
before the cross-examination of - Major-Gelleml
liughes began, pointed out that the gravalnen of the
Kyte charges was that Col. Allison, through his al-
leged influence with the 1\Iinister of Militia had been
able to obtain commissions upon certain contracts he
had lllade. Major-General Hughes had denied that
Allison, so far as he was aware, had obtained any com-
mission on goods _supplied for Canada. Mr. Hollmuth,
therefore, proposed, he said, to determine whether
Major-General I-lughes knew that what had been said
was correct. The report of the proceedings tells the
rest:
"l\ir. Carvell said there was a lot of tnisapprehen-
sion as to .\ir. K_vte`s statements in the House. Ile
I lad not made any statement such as attributed to him
ly .\lr. l'lelhnut_h. lie had never Stated that Cieilérttl
Hughes had sent Col. Allison down to make contracts
for fuses in New York.
“Sir William Meredith poillted otlt that witnesses
had been called by l\Ir. li. F. B. _lohnston for the pur-
.nose of showing that pressure had been brought to bear
by the Minister upon the Shell Committee to induce
it to make contracts it should not have made. That
had been the nattire of Mr. Lloyd Harris’ evidence. Sir
.Willianl also poillt_ed otlt tllat the scope of the inquiry
was wider that l\lr. Kyte's statements.
"l\Ir. Cervell said that l\ir. Kyte had made no
charges at all, properly speaking. llc had simply made
certain statements as a menlber of Parliament."
The retreat has begtln. Unless Mr. Kyte’s state-
ment ill the llouse of Commons carried or implied a
charge of \vrong-doillg or incapacity on the part of
Major-(`ieneral 1-lughcs and of the Shell Committee
there would have been no ground for enquiry; there
would have been no partizan hullaballo throughout the
country, no use of stolcll documents, no attempt to
create 3 scandal and by ruining Majol'-Celleral llughcs
_ io destroy the Government of which he. is a member.
