Brockville, - March 16.--Joseph Rose, of the Revere House staff, has received a photo and letter giving particulars of the death of his friend, Aaron Reubens, Picton, who enlisted in the first contingent and was re- ported missing after the battle of St. Julien-Langemarck last April. The relatives instituted an enquiry and ascertained several weeks later that Pte. Reubens was reported as among the killed. He was twenty years of age, wag born in Toronto of Jewish parentage, and when war broke out was living at Picton where his fath- er is in the boot and shoe business.

May it not be re- cokened upon with certainty that the gmigration from England and the continefital countries will only be li. mited by the capacity of ships to car- ry the people? -If this be true, will not the years after the war be im- portant beyond measure to Canada?

The double tendency will operate, -- to force upon us what we do not want, and withhold from us what we desire. The Argentine will also exercise a pull upon the people from the Bri- ul part, and Canada must be hos- piidbly ready, and well prepared, if the men of our race are to strength- en uw and not be lost to the flag. The great westward movement cannot be stayed; but it may be guided to a destination, and the com siderations which will determine that destination are very plain. There must be prospect of work, a chance ot better conditions, and some assur- ance that existance can be maintain- ed tll] a new career is entered upon. Only the last point need concern us; there is no doubt of the country's ability to sustain a vastly greater po- pulation. 3 Immigration will be less critical than in the past.

Cornwall, Ont., March 16.--The cheese factory of S. G. Lawson at St. Andrews, north of here, was destroy- ed by fire, which started from an overheated stove pipe.

Cobourg, March 16.---Commencing March 1st Cramabe Township Coun= cil will grant the sum of $150 per month to the Canadian Patriotic Fund through the counties' branch. These camps, efficiently conducted, would partially support themselves, they would bridge over the weeks or months when an immigrant is find- ing his feet and seeking for work under strange skies,--ensuring him at least a roof over his head during this depressing time, and the results attained and the reports made would regulate the amount and kind of im- migration. It is said that our hospital and commissariat systems approach per- fection. If we can organize for war, and the purpose of war, ¢an we not not organize for peace and for the sake of the generations to come? Were France to contribute to this tide of humanity nothing ' could be mere fortunate for us, and I doubt not that her sons would receive a like welcome in Canada. The question i8 worth thinking about. Should this bring the conclu- sions that millions will Ssooni be sepk- ing new homes across the ocean, that some of thése will make better citi- zens than others, that we want the bést, and particularly those of our own blood, 'we can hardly stop at that point and dismiss the matter from mind. It is absurdly unlikely that we will get what we want with- out working for it. There is no war- rant 'for believing that Providence favours Canada to the extent of put- fing self about to do what Cana- dians are not willing to forsee and ordain for themselves. Were Germany in our shoes she would not trust to luck, and those who scorn to borrow ideas from Ger- matty have learned but little from this war.

There are also 85,000 men engaged in work at dockyards and other naval es lishments and "several times that number on Admiralty" work under contract and sub-contract. Besides these, the return specifies men engaged in gefting coal for the fleet, dockside workers, and civilian' crews of colliers, oilers, mine sw ers, supply ships, etc., and in - tion mien and women engaged 'in makiag clothing and preparing food: tor the fleet. : The return states. that "for evers man in the navy, of whom thére are something like 300,000, 'there are' certainly two persons and possibly even three at work on ship construc- tion, repairing and contributing to the general « efficiency and fighting ability of the fleet."

"When I am King," said the Prince of Wales as a little boy, "1 shall make three laws: No one shall cut the tails of the little dogs; there shall be no more fishing + hooks, and no one shall use bearing reins to hurt the horses." Love of atimals has been one of the heir-apparent's abiding characteristics, ays Mr. David Williamson, in a short bio graphy of the Prince of Wales, which he bas added to his beoks of the royal' family. : The Book sets out from the birth of the Prince at White = Lodge--an event which created the unprecedent- ead phenomenon of three male 'de- scendants in the direct line of inheri- tance. : The water used at the christening service was brought from the River "f Jordan; "the gold bowl was the same that had been the christening font of all the Queen's descendants born fm the realm," and "the carrying cloak of the royal child was made of the veil worn by Queen Victoria at her marriage." His "first regular pocket money was a shilling a week, rising stead- ily, but not rapidly." There were, however, compensations, Birthday Presents supplied many of his wants, and he could always find a way to Dossess himself of the lathes, me- chanical appliances, and models of machines and ships to which he was attracted. Absence of "side" has contributed much to the popularity and esteem in which the Prince has been held by all his young associates in the navy, at Oxford, and in the army. Once an Osborne cadet "asked him whether it was a great responsibility to be the son of the Prince of Wales. 'I've never thought about it in that way,' said the Prince. 'It's always seemed to me great luck to be born the eldest son, because when you're the eldest son you haven't got to wear any of your brother's old clothes!' This, if true, is an entertaining illustration of the Queen's well-known admirable methods of bringing up the royal family. as a- midshipman on board the Hin- dustan it was stated that "not the smallest exception or discrimination has been made in his favor." There is an interesting chapter on "Personal Characteristics," in which an illustration is given of his re- markable powers of endurance. "Dur- ing the Prince's visit to Germany, in 1913, two German officers were de- tached to his suite. One day the party had been automobiling. The Prince asked for the car to be stop- ped, as he felt stiff and wanted to have a walk. 'Why not walk home?' he suggested. 'It is fittcen miles, at least," said one of the astonished of- ficers. 'Never mind, I can manage that distance all right,' So the three started off, but only one of the of- cers accompanied the Prince to the end of the long walk, as the other had to stay behind with fatigue.'

Their full official title is "the King's Bodyguard of the Yedman of the Guard." It' dates from' early Tudor times,- having been first established in 1485 by Henry VII., and the yeéo- men still wear the old Tudor uni- form, that of the officers, however, being of a more modern type. It'is' commanded by a captain, who must be a peer; and he has under bim a Heutenant, who is a lieatenant- colonel in the Army, and an ensign, who must be a major at the time of appointment. Its adjutant is known officially ds the "Clerk of Cheque," his duty being = simply * to keep and call the "chégue," or roll, when the corps parades. The whole cost of thé Guard is defrayed by the King out of his privy purse. The term "beefeater," commonly applied to the Yeoman of the Guard, and also to the warders of the, Tower of London, Who wear a similar uni- form, is popularly supposed to be a corruption of the French word buf- fetier, a "sideboard man," i.e, one who waits at the buffet. 1t.is just as likely, however, to - mean . exactly what it says--a beef-eater. In Tudor times the common peojile rarely tast- ed fresh meat--other than pork-- whereas the King's bodyguard no doubt fared sumptuously every day, and the great barons of roasted beef served at their tablé would naturally suggest to the envious multitude the appropriate, and at that time distine- tive, name.
