JAMES CAPPON WRITES OF THE WAR. What Germany Has Forced Upon all Europe, Britain --Free = People Must Band to Destroy Such an Autocracy. Dean James Cappon, of Queen's concludes an article on the war in Queen's Quarterly in these words: There may be some room for doubt and discussion as to the causes of this war, but there can be little as to the great issues it involves. The ideals of Germany at present are those of a military aristocracy. It is to earry out those ideals that the strenuous Prussian discipline has exténded its iron hand all over the land. Those ideals involve, Just like those of old Rome, the re- duction of all possible rivals to a condition of helpless subordination; they involve 'the practical suppres- sion of the independence of small nationalities; they involve a form of military rule and privilege dan- gerous to civil freedom. The trium- ph of the two Germanic powers with their Magyar comrade would mean the cessation of that kind of demo- cratic progress which' gives the peo- ples a voice in the decision of war and peace and in the making of their own destinies. It would threaten, I think, all that kind of progress which is based on the general pub- lic opinion of Europe. Of course, I do not mean to say that such ideals are consciously = accepted by the German people as a whole, but only that they lie on the road that Ger- many is taking. German liberals would naturally deny this and. point to their struggles and the gro of the socialist vote. But there is Lhe experience of .thirty years to show that they are practically helpless in many on her course. There s much unreal talk and superficiality pur modern humaritarianism, po dodbt, but none of us would like do change ii for this new type of mili: tary. despotism which is seeking su- premacy in the world, The present war has many aspects of racial, mili- tary and commercial rivalry, but its most fateful aspect is that it is a struggle between humanitarian ideals and those of a military auto- cracy. The open contempt for in- ternational law which Germany has already shown in Belgium and else where merely lifts an edge of the curtain. Germany has been aggressive en- ough in a practical sense, hut her greatest aggression has been a moral and psychological one on the spirit of Europe, and consists in that uni- Vi mm: which turns a 'nat an armed camp as ready for war and conquest as the Hun- nish and Gothic hordes of the early centuries. has forced all Eu- rope e ritain, into that sys- tem. and if she succeeds in the pre- sent war, it will be fixed as a mode! on the world. America will not remain long exempt. A military autoeracy is always a dangerous neighbor to free constitutional peo- ples governed by orators. There is a materialistic reality and truth about it. It is training and prepar- ing while the other is talking party talk. It is the case of Philip of Macedon and Demosthenes over again, only that the world has grown too large to be easily master- ed. But all free peoples must band w 40 such. an autos cracy, otherwise it will destroy them. My. estimate of what the triumph of Germany in the present fet would involve may seem ex- aggerated, but I fear it is only too much in accordance with the history of all miltary =i macies I know of. But it is a good time to remember that the British empire fought a century ago and came victorious. PROF. Baily British E-------- ONTARIO, TUESDAY, OCTOBER I3 DIED ON WAY TO CHURCH.

On Sunday, special harvest thanks giving services were held at St. James' church, with a good atten- dance both morning and evening. The . church was decorated with fruits, flowers and vegetables, which were afterwards devoted to charit- able institutions. At the morning service the rector, Rev. T. W. Savary, B.A., preached a4 most appropriate sermon, under the title. "Giving Thanks For All Things." He referred to the fruits of the harvest, and the wonderful work of God, in providing for all our needs. In the evening the rector preach- ed a-strong sermon on the subject, "Life Through Death." The Methodists Gather. <P Thanksgiving - day. service of the Methodist churches throughout the city was this year held in Queen Street Methodist church. Unlike those of previous years, this one was well attended and much enthusiasm shown on behalf of the congrega- tion. The churches were represen- ted by their respective pastors, Rev. A. Brown, Rev. G. J. Campbell, Rev. John Webster and Rev. H. E. Cur- ry who occupied places on the plat- form. The opening prayer was by Rev. A. Brown, of Sydenham, street Methodist, the lesson read by Rev J. Webster, of Brock street church, Rev. G.. I. Campbell had charge of the service. Rev. A. E. Curry, Princess street Methodist church. took his text from Psalm CXVI: verses 12 to 14 inclusive "'What shall I render unto the Lord for all his benefits toward re? I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the nanie of the Lord. I will pay my vows unto the Lord now in the pre sence of all his people." The sermon was appropriate and left a deep . impression upon the minds of his hearers as to the best way to offer thanksgiving unto the Supreme Maker who has so plen- tiously bestowed blessings upon man- kind, A liberal offering was re- ceived and will be devoted to the relief fund of the churches The choir was in its place and rendered excellent music. At St. Andrew's, In St. Andrews church on Thanks- giving morning. Rey. 8. J. M. Canp- ton conducted the services and Rev J. W. MacIntosh gave a very inter- esting address to.a large congrega- tion. Arthur Craig gave a solo. Mr. MacIntosh spoke on the im portance of a proper observance of Thanksgiving from the standppint of its history which goes back to the time of the pilgrims.

HAD QUITE AN EXPERIENCE Party of Local Sportsmen Who Were Out On Holiday With the return of the cold wea- ther, local sportsmen are happy, as with it comes duck hunting. A lo- cal party of sportsmen who spent Thanksgiving Day, a short distance | below the high banks on the Rideau and down near Kingston Mills re- port a scarcity of ducks. , To make matters worse one of the motor boats belonging to the party was badly di by: com- ing into contact with a Submerged stump in the neighborhood of Ca- sey's Island. The after portion of the boat had a bad hole punched into it, and several of the ribs were carried away. The hanger of the propelling shaft was also torn off and left the oceupants of the craft to their mercy in the rough water which prew#ited all day Sunday. A fatality was only averted by anoth- er motor boat. coming upon the scene, and rescuing the occupants from their pitiable plight. The boat was left to drift while the surplus load in the other boat was landed on shore. In the meantime the disabled boat sank in about twelve feet of water. The engine in.the boat is worth $185 which wolud bring the value of the boat nearly to $250. The owner may vossiblv gef some one to salvage it for him. od KINGSTON GIRL Is Very Clever With the Use Of a Needle.
