STUDENTS ARE SLOW IN VOLUNTEERING FOR MILI TARY DRILL. AT QUEEN'S Principal Gordon Makes Some Point. ed Remarks In Queen's Journal---- He Asks the Reason Why. In Queen's University Journal 'of . Thursday, Principal Gordon writer as follows: How is it that the Students are so slow in volunteering for military drill and musketry instruction? It is that they do not understand the proposal? And yet, it has beer explained in several of the larges clagses as well as in ithe columns o the Journal. By this time every stu dént is surely aware that, in volun teering for this drill and instruction he is binding himself only to a cer tain proportion of military trainin: each week, not to overseas servic nor even to home defence. Later on, those who are trained 'may nav: an opportunity to offer for 'activ: service, but at present the student are asked only to accept training and it is with the unanimous approv al of the senate and of the Board o Trustees that such training is pro vided. Is it that they cannot spare th time? There are none so closel: bound by their studies as to be un able to give an hour éach day to phy sical exercise, and military drill | one of the best forms of exercise one which many students greatly néed. Or are they unwilling tc give the time unless the drill is cre dited to them in place of a class' Possibly the senate may make some allowance for it yet Queen's mer spend' far more Time on football and hockey without dreaming that this kind of exercise shall be accepted a appreciate the need, Ot recognize the crisis ? sing? part _and parcel pire, and the em eon, if even then. Germany is not beaten in the pres ent war, beaten beyond the possibili ty of bringing on another such con- flict, if France be subjected to the same fate as Belgium, Britain's turn for final trial of strength woul come next. From such a conditior of things we have already had a nar- row escape. Had Italy not remain ed neutral, had she held with Ger many as she had done for year, had she flung her army of 600,000 ox even one half of it, against France there can be po doubt that France would by this time have been crush. ed and the whole situation would have been made immeasurably more dangerous for Britain. And if for Britain, then also for Canada. Is it that they are unwilling tc serve in defence of their country? defence of his country, "and. this It may be that in the prolonged en- Joyment of peace our fibre has been enfeebled, and our spirit relaxed, that in our fancied security we have grown apathetic, but onc of the first ninmis on every oitidze i is for ihe war is ours as truly as if we were citizens of London, or Edinburgh. Ihe special call and need laid 'upon all parts of the British empire to-day is to fight, to fight for freedom, for righteousness, for national esistence Some may feel that they would be #'lling. to train and even fo seme aext summer, but that they cannot train just now. But the need next summer will be for men who nave ty that time Lad their training, not for raw recruits. W nether wa offer for overseis sei- vite or no. let us at least be trained and not rerxin unready.

WHY ARE APPLES SO DEAR? | fhere Are Lots of Them----Arte Cheap Elsewhere. are very scarce this and the explanation is hard to find. In Prince Edward 'ounty apples may be had for the picking almost, selling at $1.50 a bag or snows, and hard to sell at that rice. Snows sold on the Kingston market jon Thuraday morning" for 25c. "1 peck," and these were certainly not the best quality of apples. In the stores 30c. and 40c. a peck is being asked for good eating apples. The far ners through the county have had a very good apple crop and the cause of the prevailing high prices is hard to determine. Good apples year in the city, Married In The West. The marriage took place at Sask., on Sept. 30th, of Miss Marie Garrett, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Garrett, Zealand, Ont., to Alexander Smythe, of Alsask, Sask. The ceremony was performed by Rev.' William Heall, Ralph Gag- field Garrett was groomsman and the yidesmaid, Miss Hannah May.

The speaker went on to explain the j different eigns of the Zodiac, and as- sorted that it has been, instrumental in causi a amony p # stance, some butchers claim that only at certain times is it proper to kill swine and look for the appearance of this character in the almanac per- taining to the Zodiac.
