The manager asked for power to buy a car of ofl when needed, in the open market, as this was more satis- factory at present, The request was granted.

Barviefield Camp Lights, Manager Folger stated that ae- cording to estimates of the Engi- neering officers 'it wonld cost around $15,000 to buy the materials necessary to Mght Barriefield Camp.

NAPANEE FARMER FELL FROM HAY LOFT AND WAS BAD- a LY INJURED. Lightning Caused Burning of Barn on Newburgh Road--Lieut.-Col, Low Asks Napanee Council To Help In Recruiting 146th, {From Our Own Correspondent). Napanee, May 16.--Richard Hayes, | South Napanee, met with an unfor- tupate accident on Saturday. He wis getting some hay out of the loft in his barn, and fell to the ground, 1a distance of about ten feet, alight- {ing on his head and shoulder, and receiving a severe shaking, also a bad: fracture of a rib near the spinal column. A peculiar accident occurred Sun- day evening, when an automobile go- {ing along Dundas street picked up a lose stone with one of the wheels, hurling it through a large plate flass window in the barber shop of F, S. Scott, destroying the window. During the severe electrical storm | which passed over here last night | the lighting system wes for a short time out of commission, and the city fathers, who were in session, had to resort to candles to light the council chamber. 'Bhe barn of Frank Milling, on the PEPER L EPI PN PEEP reer | Newburgh Road, was struek by light- ning last evening and totally destroy- ed. The horses in the barn were with difficulty got out. A small quantity of hay wag burned. Lieut,-Col. Charles A. Low, O. C. 146th Battalion, came to Napanee last evening and addressed the coun- ell, asking co-operation in securing about 36 more recruits in order to bring the battalion up to strength before going to. camp. OPPOSING IDEALS Touching Lite Is The Cause of Clash Of Arms. In Queen's Quarterly Prof. John Watson discusses "German Philos- ophy and the War." Dr. Watson is convinced that the fierce conflict 1 which now convulses the world is "at bottom the ¢lash of opposing ideals of life rather than the shock ' of armed hosts," Very remarkable is the contrast between the modest re- serve of the leaders of German thought in the beginning of the 19th century and the portentious arro- gance of their successors of to-day. One thing is evident: Prussia has got the upper hand, and since the days of the Great Elector Prussia has been distinguished for its disre-. gard of the rights of others. What it is now and what Germany, forced to follow it, has come to be, Dr. Wat- son's article shows us. To us of the British Empire it is, however, a solace to reflect that, though not free from blame, England has acted hon- orably and justly, Hood's By pn b | to Napanee and 3 4 A Toronto despatch says "OC" Bat- tery, Royal Canadian Horse Artil- lery, 260 strong, under Captain Steacy, arrived in Toronto Monday afternoon. They were met at the station by the Mayor and an escort from the Toronto Brigade "of Artil- lery: Accompanied by two bands, they marched to the City Hall, where they were extended a right royal wel- come on behalf of the city by Mayor Church. He was proud of the R. C. H. A, most of which was composed of Toronto men, and also of what the artillery had been doing for Canada and the Empire in the war, Mayor Church, as president of the Recruiting League, presented Capt. Steacy' with a cheque for $300. In acknowledging it, Capt. Steacy said that he was very glad to come to To- ronto, which in his opinion had done more for the war thai any city in the Empire. Capt. Ringwood said that Toronto was the most patriotic city in Can- ada, and that of all the men who passed through the artillery school at Kingston, the best came from Toron- to. He then called for three cheers for the Mayor and Council of Toron- tg, which were given very heartily. The battery then formed up on the City Hall steps and had their pic- tures taken. -» +* A MILLION :A MONTH. * -- + There will be an expendi- # # ture of a million dollars a month # #% for pay and maintenance of # 10.000 men at Barriefield camp. # + > FPP PR Ebr ER PSS bb db Rb ddbdd er eee SAPPERH.
