The expenditures from the Cana dian Patriotic Fund in Kingston have so far amounted to $44,000, or about | $7.000 in This | is due to the rapid develop- ment of the account. As Kingston | is a recruiting the num ber of persons added to the list ex- ceeds the number expected by nearly one-half. * The cause of this is obvi ous. The dependents of the sol diers are registered where the men | enlist, and dependents are | either relieved financially while here or they are transported to England, | there to reside during the war, and in this case they cease to be a charge on the fund. The number of persons not belonging to the city is perhaps one-third of the whole, and causing one-third of the expenditure, which is now over $4,000 a month. This fact should be remembered when it becomes necessary to supplement the fund at a later date. a ------ The personal representative of the Minister of Munitions will not stand for attacks from any soureé, He is making great sacrifices in coming to Canada at the invitation of the Im- perial Government, and all who come in contact with him must recognize his business ability.

Dr. Chown appeared to be in ad- vance of the times, and a'most 2lone, In his suggestion, that the pupils of the schoous he invited to engage in some patriotic movement, one hav-| ing for its object the work of the Red Cross or some other patriotic so- ciety. But he was not alone and hot singuar in his appeal. He was really in. accord with public senti- tient as it had been aroused by Lord Lansdowne, in his appeal to Canada, and by the acting Miaister of Education in his appeal to the Schools of Ontario. "The statement of Hon. Mr. Férgus- on creates the impression that he has been acting in the 'nterests of the Red Cross Society, that le has caused a circular to be issued, to the schools of Ontario, asking them lo bestir themselves 3nd to make . Oct. 21st "our day for soldiers and tailors" one to be remembered Such a circular does not seem to have been received in Kingston. The local Movement is not" prim- arily nor principally a Red Cross one. The idea is to' interest the school pupils in the war, and to in- duce them to take some Active ir terest in the comforts of the sol- diers. _ This movement may, widen in its re'ations later ou. Dr. Chown Is quite ambitious with regard to it and feels that it should spread and perhaps become provincial in its character. 3 : The first act will be to inaugurate ' 8 league or society or union by meet- mgs of the teachers; or teache ys and pupils, and, when a lively interest Bas been engendered, to Iaunch some plan by which the scholars and the heroes may be brought into in- «direct contact. The enterprise is Certainly born of a moral heroism which cannot be too much encourag- ed in its development. ---- . The Canadian Vickers are building three thundred chasers on German submarines.

FRENCH TO CANADIANS, The Canadian soldiers everywhere, in France, in England, and in Can- ada, will appreciate the words which | Sir John French had occasion to ad- dress recently to the Capadian Cav- alry Brigade. He acknowledged that the Canadians had rendered three great services: (1) They had rallied to the col- ors. promptly "and showed a magni- ficent example to the whole Em- pire." .. (2) They had riveted the bands that bind the great Empire togeth- er in a way that will never be sun- dered. (3) They had entered into the cam- paign eagerly and suffered tremen-| dous losses. A" Festubert and Giv-| enchy they had fought hard, helped | the British to vin ground, and main- tained their splendid reputation. This commendation is cheering and must have been earned in order to be so willingly expressed. The] Canadian officers and men must have been not only wellfitted but crder- Iy and couragecus or they conld not at the front, have distinguished thémselves as Sir John French says! they have. And his praise, so un-| stimtedly given; stands out in strong) contrast with the hurtful criticism] | i the address of Sir Sam Hughes at] Barriefield Camp last week.

The! C.M.R. may have a' similar expo:-| ience. Runt the cavalry have the assurance that their day is not over. | Sir Johd' French, the highest anti-| ority, says it will come again in the war and then the horses wil be set! for and the cavalry will perform, no daub, the part which is assigned to them. ------s cen. EDITORIAL NOTES. The Canadian Ford Company finds serious fault because some poli. ticians are trying to ruin their busi- ness, and all because of Mr. Ford's indisereet talk. Why don't they muzzie the man? Or. why don't he dry up and talk sense? The Chinamen are to vote on whethar they want an Emperor or a President at the head of their Gov. ernment. Which is the safer in view of Europe's experience with the smaller kingdoms? If the people of Greece and voted upon | the question would Constantine and Ferdinand be their -cheice? The petition of the women of Manitoba for the franchise, ' which the new Government has promised it the peopl® want it, has been by 17,060 persons, And the names still going down. The "Bill of Rights" will, when it reaches the house, be a ponderous-and imposing document. It will require an ath- lete to handle it. Hon. Walter Scott, the Premier of ea tatersiovee.

Kingston Nurses As Well As Their Soldier Patients Are In a Weaken- ed Condition From Lack of Nour. ishmeni. x The Kingston Chapter of Gradu- ate Nurses held its regular meeting in the Nurses' Residence on Tuesday afternoon. Several interesting let- ters were read, and there was con- siderable discussion about the "Eli- gibility Clause" in connection with the Provincial Nurses' Association. A very interesting letter was read from one of the nurses on the island of Lemnos, Dardanelles, telling of the lack of supplies and food for the patients and nurses. The Chapter at once decided to send a box of food supplies on the first mail, and more will follow very shortly. Some of Kingston's own nurses are in a very weakened condition for want of pro- per food, besides the poor wounded soldiers dependent on their care. Any contributions of food or comforts, such as cigarettes, gum, games, etc. will be gladly received at any time by the secretary-treasurer, Miss F. His- cock, 117 William sfreet. .

Once upon a time there was a large clock which stood on the tioor in the hall and on this clock liyed the family of Hands. There Fas father Hand, mother Hand, and ther little child named Second Hand. Fa slow and moved around the clock face just once in twelve hours. Mother was smarter and mced around once and hour and little Second hand danced about very fast so that it often heard the chil- dren say: "lI will wait a second and not any longer," So Second hand | knew it was always going very fast. Sometimes it tried to go faster and then its father would say: "If you do that, someone will come and fix | thy clock and them nome of us will be able to keep up with the time as we should." "I won't do it, then, for | father goes slow enough as it is," thought Second hand to itself. One week a man came and-fixed them up with a key, which was just.the same to them as medicine, as it made them feel livelier and started them to fun- ning around with renewed vim. One day something dreadful hap pened. One of the children took a chair and put it in front of the clock, opened the door and turned father Hand back all the way around. of course Mother Hand had to follow and so did the Httle Hand and all they could understand about it was their hearing thewe¢hild say: "There, I won't have to go.to bed right away now." > One day Second Hand felt quite sick and all at once it began to wob- ble and at last fell off and down into one corner of the clock. There it lay all of that day and part of the next, until someone discovered it and said: "Bless me, the second hand of the old clock has fallen off." Soon a strange man came, picked it up and fastened it back again so tight that it never fell off again, and even to this day you can go to the hall where the clock lives and see them all racing round and round as they have for many years.
