KINGSTON EVENTS 26 YEARS ACO Mayor Drennan "hosts marched into Belgium," UTIERMOST FARTHING PAY BELGIANS IN Fly, SENTI- MENT OF BRITISH. Viscouht Bryce Declares German; Must Be Forced to Make CG lete Reparation, London, May 6.--*if there is any- thing in this country on which we all agreed, it is that the uttermost farthing shall be exacted in the way of reparation," declared Viscount James Bryce in an address at Uni- versity College here, speaking of the demands to be made upon Germany in "behalf of Belgium. "I believe that when the invading said, "neither they nor Europe gen erally thought that the damaz® would be considerable as we now know it to be. The destruction has been infinitely greater than any- thing that could have been imagin- ed. There is no reason for reliev- ing the aggressors and they must be held strictly to acount. | "For much of the harm done theré can be no compensation. beyond redress. And we ourselv:e can never sufficiently compensate the Belgians for their courage and fidelity to their obligations of hon or and duty to ideals of. country." The occasion of Lord Bryce's ad-| dress was the opening of thé "Re-/ making of Belgium" exhibition; which deals. with problems of town planning. As the speaker explain- ed it, the object will be to combine the picturesque irregularity of the middle ages with modern ideas of air space and sanitation. . A commission of Belgian - arcal- tects and engineers has for . sone time been making an exhaustive] study of English town planning, with a view to applying the lessons in rebuilding of Malines, Louvain and other cities and towns in the destroyed area.

No, there will not be conscription in Britain as long as the empire can 'raise voluntarily as many men as ' she needs and it must be confessed that with the advance of the war the demand for these men increases. The 'same difficulty is beng felt with the recruiting as with the production of munitions. Somehow the British people will not be aroused from their indifference--that is, a certain, per- centage of them, and occupying a certain social position.
