It was a splendid opening, and if enthu- siasm, hard work and good manage- ment are shown in the same quanti- ties throughout the campaign as was shown at the meeting on Monday evening, if the recruits are to be had they will be secured for the 146th : Battalion. The meeting opened with the R. C. H. A. band marching in playing pa- triotie airs. W. F. Nickle, M.P., oc- cupied 'the chair. Mr. Nickle said that thg meeting was being held for the purpose of showing to the civil fans the crisis that has come upon the Empire and the immediate ne- cessity of securing more men to carry on the 'battles. Col. T. D, R. Hemming, D.0.C., a brief address, said that he wished to state that the 'needed' mer, and lote-of them. Peo: ple may think that Kingston has done her bit, but in his opipion she must do more. There is' no reason why Kingston should not supply two com- panies, or 500 men, to Col. Low's battalion. The. country does not want them in thres months' time, but needs then now. "Yon men of Kingston," said fo, Hemming, "in Col: Low you havé a man to be proud of. He is known from one end of the country.to the other as a man of sterling integrity and ene §ho will always give full consideration to ev- ery person. Mothers can depend on him that their sons will be taken care of. Enlist now and do your hit." In introducing Major-General Hod- gins, A.G., Mr. Nickle said that years igo he had known him as a private in the Queen's Own Rifles at Toronto, and since them the General has climbed the ladder of success until now he was on the topmost rung as Adjutant-Genera® of the Canadian forces." in only General Hodgins Speaks, Ti opening what proved, to pe a speech that was worthy of coming from such a great soldier, Gen, Hod- ginsgins sald: "Before 1 enter upon the campaign, let me express my great pleasure at being with you in ------------------------------ and more, people with chest 'and throat troiibles have tried to cure them by pouring cough syrups, lung tonics and the like into their stomachs, a mistake!

We are fighting for our very existence, The call came to us for the fir%~ time in one hundred years from the King who askdd his subjects to see the thing through to the end! His appeal will not made in vain. Canada is now calling on her sons to take their part in th Struggle. The Motherland has doe more for us and for humdnity t we can' ever pay back, and itis up to Canada to stand by ber ig. the hour of need. The comrades in the trenches were calling, and these ap- peals must nqt fall on deaf ears, It is a duty thygt we owe our country, to the Empige and to ourselves. I, the Gerypans should take Can- ada, the Britiy\h Empire would cease to exist, Stpce Wolfe fought so bravely on the Plains of Abraham we have prospered. -Can we allow Can- ada as part of the great British Em- pire to fall to pieces? We inust be true to her as she has been to us, ™ Somebody once, said to the Gen- eral that thgy would volunteer when the Germans attacked Canada. If France, Italy and Russiascannot de- feat Germany, what chance hgs Can- ada with a few thousand unfratned men; She will be beaten if Can-. Canadians are not true to themselves and to their manhood. In sheakingf of the death rate in war, the General said that after-the figures are 'compared, the deatn race is comparatively low. Up™ the 15th of October last, Canada has sent over 96,000 men and £0,000 'of thesé were in the trenches. : So far only 2,500 have been killed 'or dred' of Aisease- --about three: per cent. "1 remember when my wife and I discussed our boys going," said the General, and when, he added, that both were there, the building rang with eers. "We "discussed the char f their coming. back and deci hat their chances were good. Ottawa has sent, 3,000 'men and only lifty-seven have been killed or died of wounds. In one year due to an epidemic of ' typhoid in Ottawa eighty-three people died and another year ninety-three died and the chan- ces of a man stayng.in Ottawa, par- ticularly if "the intake pipe should burst is a great deal worse should he go to the front. Aman is far safer in the trenches' than walking the streets of Ottawa. The average number of men killed is very small to what is generally imagined. The question of a man volunteer- ipg can not be settled on a public platform but it is up to the mothers adians do not do their share, and if; than | Lieut.-Col. W. s.

"hey are - fighting wy fight and your fight, They are expecting the men they left at home ta. come across and ielp them in their work. ® "I am not here to beg recruits but every anan in the city and the eounties will be approached and giv- en the chance to come acress,'" said Col, low. "The greatest regret," said he in finishing," will be when you'or your son or brother or hus- band turgs down this opportunity of joining the 146th Battaliof." He made a reference to "Scotty" Davidson that brought his audience to cheers, and he Also mentioned the fact that of forty-one officers of the 14th Regiment, thirty-eight had volunteered for overseas dervice which wag a splendid record. The 14th Regiment he s=a!d had produced such officers his Capt. George Rich- ardson and the late Lieut.C. Day. Prof. L. W. Mulloy. The closing address was by Prof. L. W.n Mulloy of the Royal Military College. He has been going up and! down this division in the interests of recruiting and in opening his address he said that Mm was now impressed ity ofthe situatfon. He referred to the Chancellor's speech in the Ger- man Reichstag that the German Em- pire had. carried on a glorious fight and wewe now victorious. The speak- er said thay 16 was not a pessimist but he was mo self-delusionist. If this war is to be brought to a successful close iinis up to 'Briton's dominions, '"Thé Prime Minister ha taken splendid "steps" by: Tncreasing our forces fromi 250,000 to 500,000. If we had done as well as had Great Britain, we would nqw have 600,- 000 to 800,000. Great Britain had put three milljon into the field."
