Northrup, Manager, HONORED BY THE KING, The King's Birthday honors, so far as Canada is concerned, are few in number, and most of the recl- plents are those who have rendered pignal service to the country in connection with the war. Usually the docoration is for distinction job won by the Individual and 18 In some | vocation of life, science, discovery, invention, industry. This year, the note of patriotism that has resound- ed throughout the Empire has been accentuated in certain centres, and the result is the honor that has come to some of the most active spirits in our national Mfe. Dr. n, head of Queen's University, whi has contributed so largely to the equipping of military units for ov- erseas service---and the recruiting is still going on--is to be congratu- lated upon the title which the King has conferred upon him. He will wear this title worthily, and Queen's men everywhere will rejoice in its bestowment. The Globe asked on Thursday whether the churches of Canada would have the strength and states- manship to "grapple resolutely with the liquor traffic." The retiring Moderator of the Presbyterian As- sembly bas alreddy spoken, and in no uncertain way. There has been no clearer or more vigorous refer- ence to the great question than his. REVELATIONS IN WINNIPEG. The Kellys, who built the founda- tions of the Parliamentary Builld- ings in Winnipeg, are said to have replenished the funds of both poli- tical parties before the last election. They were supposed to have been very generous to the Roblin Gov- ernment which ntly went down with a crash, andjan official, who has been undergoing a severe gruelling at the hands of the com- anission, says he was told that the 'contractors had given the Liberals $12,000. The facts will all come out if the probe be continued. The Kellys are certainly invited to tell all they know, to make a complete confession of their sing without re- gard to what the result may be, or what persons or parties may be in- Jured. The sqoner the whole story is revealed the better, The Globe puts the case clearly when it - much money is spent in this 5 8 I {upon the wrongs of others, and.|difflculties. {is the keenest of all in British Col- | with swollen pocket, presented '0 {view " a stunted, miserable scout' | That sentiment was loudly applaud- {ed by the Assembly. The second feature of this moat] of | | eloquent senmon was the duty | the church towards the liquor traf- [fic. Prohibition might not be the panacea for the evils which drink | produced, but the abolition 'of Vod- {ka in Russia and of Absinthe in | France suggested that in Canada | the abolition of the saloons would {save the youth from many perils, land some of them from untimely | graves. { In order to sweep away the traf- fic three things were necessary: | united effort, national self-respect, and energetic Christian sentiment. This was also applauded by the As- sembly, but not so generally. It is remarkable that a great church has heard from {its presid- ing officer so strdngly upon issues of a national character. And the last word has not been said. The committees of the church have not yet reported. When they de Dr. Herridge may see that his appeal for an awakened church has not been in vain. Cannot the police, by some com- bined and effective movement bring the auto racers to quicker account. The examples so far made of a few law-breakers have ont been sufficient The mills of the gods must grind the more and grind a little fast- er. ELECTING A MODERATOR. The General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church and Dr, Mal- colm Macgillivray are to be con- gratulated, the one upon its choice as the Moderator, and the other upon the distinction which has been conferred upon him. The foes and brethren of the Assembly hav their preferences, and they are very careful in presenting them. The 44 ad als fdaresses--were of their kind, and fittingly express- ed the spirit that actuated them. Thus, while one spoke in support of a western nominee, the Assembly seemed to get a whiff of the purer and energizing air of the boundless prairie. The choice eventually bes came unanimous. The honor of presiding over the Assembly is very great. The Mod- erator feels the responsibility of his office. The interests involved are numerous, and at no time, in mauy years, through the tremendous ups heavals of the war, have they pr-is- ed so much upon the attention of the church, There is, too, the engrossing sul ject of church union. Upon it there has been one pronouncement by the people. Their education may have been inadequate or incomplete; at tory. - The question must go back to the pedple again, and this time care will be taken to make clear every aspect of it and every contingency which the approval of it implies. The Assembly is most deliberate in its acts. There is method and circumspection in _ every detail. There is the elaboration of thought which shows how studiously some commissioners have approached the subject, -and there is the fervor or fire which becomes conspicious as the debate proceeds. In a body so large, so representative, yet so di- versified in mind and feeling, the interest never flags. The discussions are always spirited. Above the multitude sits the Moderator, keen, alert, decisive, and in the judicial mood that so much becomes his of- fice. Of parliaments there are many, but no one is more dignified in 'its demeanor than thet which now sits in Kingston, which supervises the temporal and spiritual the Presbyterian Church of Canada, and devotes its time to the exten- any rate the vote was not satisfac-| THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG, FRIDAY, JUNE 4, 1915. As the labor question umbia this bid for support is the best that can be made by a discredit- ed Government. There is an. element in the Pres- byterian General Assembly which { dearly favors a deferring of the fur- {ther consideration of the union question until after tle war. Which seems remarkable. The war will make union more necessary than ever, as physical, moral, and econo- mical considerations suggest the heartiest co-operation of the church in the great work im which it is engaged. The Toronto News does not think Sir Wilfrid Laurier would be competent advisor of the Govern- ment upon the war, because he did not appraise the German menace at |its true value, The News, however, does not see any impropriety in nationalists acting as counselors of the Premier upon the war, though they were against having any rt in-jit, or giving any assistance to the Mother Country under any circum- stances. KINGSTON EVENTS 26 YEARS AGO A rousing meeting in the jnterests of J. D. Thompson and the Mowat Government was held in the Cify Hall. Ten men are the county jail.

SRP r rer PEPER EIT r EGON BANK FAILURES LAD T0 BUCKET SHOPS Deyo, Republican From Binghamton, Proposes New Law to Consti- tutional Convention. Albany, N. Y,, June 4.--The oper- ation of bucket shops would be pro- hibited and stock exchanges placed, under State control by a proposal in- troduced in the constitutional con- vention by I. T. Deyo, a Republican delegate from Binghampton. "Most of our bank failures," Mr. Deyo said in regard to the prevention of marginal investments, "most cases of defalcation and misappropriation of trust funds are traceable directly to this form of gambling." Conducting a bucket shop would be placed in the same catagory as op- erating lotteries, pool selling and "other forms of gambling." Stock exchanges would be forced to incor- porate in New York. MUST QUIT COUNTRY. Accuse Baker of Hiding Papers in Prison Cake, Yokohama, June 4 --A German ba- ker, accused of sending secret docu- ments concealed in bread and cakes to German prisoners at Tokio, has been ordered to leave Japan within a week. "Four other Germans en- gaged in business here have similarly been ordered deported, 'for eommit- ting acts against the welfare of the country." The baker, whose name is J. Sehuh, came to Japan from the United States in 1914. Both Oraig Boys Wounded. Renfrew, June 4---Mr. and Mrs. David Craig, Renfrew, have been of- ficially notified that both of their soldier sons, David and John, have been wounded in action. David had previously been reported by the British War Office as among the missing, which circumstance is ex- plained by the receipt of a letter from him stating that he had become separated from his own battalion, and spent several days fighting in the ranks of British regulars.

London, June 4.--In the capture of Chateau Hooge, near 1 the British troops won an important success on the Ypres-Roulers Rail- way, about three or four miles north- west of Ypres and about five miles from Roulers Junction, which con- trols an important network of rail- | way lines between Ostend and east- | ern Belgium. "The capture was ef- fected in a 'bayonet attack. The new vigor in offensive displayed by Sir John French th of the point where the Germans made such vigor- ous attempts to pierce 'the British lines is taken to prove that the Ger- man offensive in this part of Belgium has exhausted itself. pe Germang.are also beleved to on forces in France and Belgium to re. inforee their armies in Galicia and on the Austro-italian frontier. The capture of the Hooge Chatean also marks a considerable advance from the late British. positions on . the Ypres salient. i ' Elsewhere on the front the French defeated a German effort to. drive | them from the Labyrinth, defeated a | night attack - near: Beausejour in Champagne, and repulsed two vio- | lent attacks in the outskirts of Le | Pretre forest. Incidentally, the French war office announces that the fighting north of Arras, in which the Germans lost Ca- rency, Ablain 8t. Nazaire, the Malon mill an the Souchez sugar refinery, was conducted by one French divi. sion. Its total losses were 3,200 between May 9 and June 1, and of these two-thirds were slightly wound. ed. This unit captured 3,100 pris- oners, including 64 officers, and bu- ried 2,600 German bodies. Obsery- ers here point out that the German losses in wounded must have been 10,000 to 13,000 men. War Tidings. United States Ambassador Gerard has made every preparation for 'the removal of United Statesers from Germany in case of trouble between the United States and Germany. It is officially © announced that a British submaride has sunk a Ger- man . transport in the Sea of Mar- mora. The British have captured an im- portant point on the road to Rouli- ers. er progress north of Arras. It was semi-officlally announced that Britain will finance Italy in the present war. The Austrian war office reports that Przemyst has been re-taken by the Austro-Germans and the report is believed in London. At Warsaw, Russian Poland, a bombk from a German aeroplane struck a crowded moving picture theatre.
