Counci] has been called for this even- ing to consider the report of the Fi- nance Committee with regard to the lighting of Barriefield Camp. As| stated in Monday's Whig the Finance Committee is nut inclined to recom- | mend the expenditure of $11,000 on Barriefield Camp, on these grounds: First, that the Militia Department is 4 and Aldermen will be called upon to HOUSEHOLD Linens At Exceptional Price Advantages Table Cloths, Napkins, Towels, etc., greatly be- low present market prices Pure Linens are becoming scarcer every day and the manufacturers are now weaving cotton in place of flax which is almost unobtain- able. Fortunately we have still a large stock of all Pure Linens which we purchased in anticipa- tion of the big advance, all of which are marked much below present mill prices. Se Pure Linen Sutin Damasks, bleached and un .bleached, $8, 70 and 72 inches wide at 60c, 75¢e, 90¢, $1.00 and $1.25.

The Finance Committee is recom- mending to Council that an electric power line be built to the camp at the expense of the city, the cost being $800. This power is necessary for the pumping of water for the troops. Council will have to decide if it is willing to expend any more money on the camp in the way of lighting The opinion among citizens is that the Militia Department should light the camp, Daylight Saving In Danger. From what the Whig can learn, Ald. Newman's daylight saving scheme, which the City Council adopted a week ago, is in danger of being smothered. It is said that at the special meeting of the Council to-night a resolution will be moved to rescind the motion passed on the 22nd, There is'a good deal of oppo- sition throughout the city to the scheme because of its purely local nature, and it looks as if the Mayor 'vote a second time on the matter, It is whispered that some who vot- ed for Ald. Newman's motion last] week may vote the other way this | evening. When Ald. Newman on Monday waited upon the Mayor and asked him to issue a proclamation with re- gard to the daylight saving scheme coming into effect on the morning of June 1st, and also to order that the hands of the city hall clock be ad- vanced at one o'clock on that morn-| ing, Mayor Richardson stated that | he had no authority to do what Ald. | Newman asked, and-suggested that | the latter move a gnotion in Council to-night to put the scheme into oper- ation. This Ald. Newman intends doing. The motion adopted by Council on the 22nd was A "That all public. clocks within the municipality of Kingston be moved forward one hour in advance of what | is now stated standard time, such change to take effect at one o'clock on the morning of the 1st of June, 1916, and continue in force till one o'clock on the morning of the first day of October of the same year, when the public clocks will be set back one hour to conform again to standard time." Late Thomas A. Keenan. On Monday evening about o'rlock the death occurred of one of the city's respected and well-known residents in the person of Thomas A. Keenan, who died 'in his home at 256 Barrie Street, after a very short illness. The late Mr. Keenan was born"W Glenburnie over fifty years ago, and for the last nineteen years hiad been a faithful employee at the Portsmouth penitentiary where he worked up to his last illness. The deceased was @ member of the Knights of Columbus and a Ro- man Catholic in religion. In poli- tics he was a Liberal. He ig sur- vived by a wife and her two daugh- ters, Marion and Katharine, .and four sisters, Mrs. James Barrett of Barriefield, Sister Mary Alphonson in| the House of Providence, and Elizabeth . and Bridget in Glen- burnie, " * Late Mrs. 'W, H.

GERMANY TAKES ALL BUT TWO THINGS. Cannot Rob Belgium of Honor Nor Touch Supplies Sent For Relief. Since the days of August 1914 when the German army frat cross- ed the frontier into Belgium, a steady and merciless denuding of the country by the invading army hag been going on until to-day Bel- guim has been rchbed of all but tw things--her honor and such food | and materials as are 'brought into | the country under the direction of | the Belgian Relief Committee, The | f rmer no cne can toke. The latter | the German governors dare not | touch. | The work of humanity that is be- | ing conducted by the Belgian Retief | Committee in Belgium is respected | by the Germans, for some reason, | more than they respect the Red | Cress. Not an ounce of the supplies | sent over the border of Holland into | Belgium has been touched by the Germans. This relief is sent for the] Belgians and is used exclusively for | them. | Germany has taken Belgians men | and women and imprisoned them, she has Killed Belgian's young men and tortured her children. She has robbed industries: and individuals and taken the supplies of raw ma- terials, 'but never the food and clothing sent im to replace and counteract her work of devastation. Even with 'this condition prevail ing Belgium to-day is barely a'lap ahead of starvation. The meed of her people is extreme. Misery, | want and suffering are everywhere. | Women are weeping and children | suffering because there is no food. | Canada is appealed to give her share---to give a small part of her plynty to jthese Junfortunate PeO- | ple. The Belgian Relief Commit-| tee, 59 St. Peter Street, Montreal, | is doing its utmost. It is capably handling all that is sent for relief.

Each one endeavored their ut- most to give the boys a good night and in this they were more than suc- cessful. With songs, stories, games, etc, they made the time pass away too soon. One could not expect any- thing less when they have such a ifine body of ladies gathered round their flag. We all hope and trust they will have every success in all their undertakings. All the boys say it was the best night's enjoyment they have had since their return, The concert started about eight and continued until after eleven. 'We had not one dull moment, and the boys one and all join with me in thanking the la- dies most heartily for the "tip top time" they gave us, . In appreciation for the Daughters of the Empire.
