McCallum Granite Co. 397 PRINCESS ST. . KINGSTON. Were Sent to Fix a Gasoline Yacht =--Allowed to Cruise and Took French Leave, About three o'clock on Saturday afternoon three of the trusted Ger- man prisoners at Fort Henry escap- ed. They were sent down to the shore from the internment camp to fix up the engine in a motor boat be- longing to one of the 14th Regiment officers, who are in charge of the sol- diers doing guard duty at the fort. The men were put in charge of one of the military policemen, and after fixing up the boat they were allow- ed to take a trial spin under the supervision of the policeman. To prevent an escape they were only given a limited supply of gasoline and told that their spin must be very short, In some manner they procured an extra supply of gasoline from torches or elsewhere and hid it in the boat. When they had gone out from Navy Bay the policeman became suspicious and told the men that they had bet- ter turn back. The men, however, thought otherwise and told the policeman that they had special per- mission from the commandant, Major P. C. C. Campbell, to take a long cruise. The policeman was not misled by the story, and at once commanded the men to return, Instead of doing this they seized, the men, tied him up securely and laid him in the back of the boat. They were big, strong fellows, and were easily able to overpower their guard. After they had got him se- curely trussed up, they poured the extra gasoline 'into the engine and headed the launch for the foot of | Wolfe Island. They were making very good speed at this time, and || when they had reached the foot of the island they headed up the Am- erican channel and stopped their boat about two miles east of Cape Vincent. Here they landed and started for | the inland country. They left the { policeman in the boat, and he was | later found by some people who hap- | pened to be passing.) At once he got | in communication with Major Camp- | bell 'and afterwards tried to locate | the men, He was unsuccessful, and | 80 far no trace has been found of the | escaped prisoners. It is the opinion { of the commandant of the internment | camp that the men are now in some nehrby New York State village. | Every effort is being made to locate | them, and it is thought that they will { be captured shortly. If they are | found on the soil of the United States there may be a very interesting legal usco Headquarters It takes us a little longer to do your developing and printing but you will be satisfied with our work Sargent's Store Cor.

H. D. Johnson who was for many years associated with military work in Charlottetown, P.E.I., and who saw service in South Africa during the Boer war, The matron is Miss McAllister, a former Kingston lady and graduate of Kingston General Hospital.. Miss McAllister was among the first nurses to offer her services to her country, doing splendid work in the early days on Salisbury Plains where conditions were such as to make the lot of those serving there on a par with the hardships endured at any part of the battle front. From Salis- bury Miss McAllister was transferred to France where for nearly eighteen | months she did splendid work with | No. 2 Canadian General Hospital. | Her services here and on Salisbury | being recognized, in March she was offered the position of matron to the| new Red Cross special hospital about | to"open at Buxton Derby. In that part of the arrangement | and general organization of which | she as matron has charge Miss Mc-| Allister has shown herself worthy ot| all praise, Among the nurses on the staff at] present is another representative of | Kingston in the person of Miss Rita | Ashley. Miss Ashley came over with | the reinforcements for Queen's hos- | pital. Until such time as the hospital | is ready for them these nurses are doing duty in various hospitals, Miss | Ashley's work in Buxton has been of | a first class order and has been very | much appreciated, | Queen's too has contributed her share in the person of Major L. V.| Goodwill who graduated from her halls with the degree of M.D. in the class '99. A veteran of the South| African war Major Goodwill has] since been in hospital work in| Charlottetown, 'P. E. I. The major | is second in command in the hospi- | tal in Buxton, | The building now used as a hospital | was formerly the Peak House, a high | class hotel with all the apparatus and conveniences for the special treatment of rheumatism, sete, The course of treatment given by the present hospital consists of thermal mineral baths, the water for which comes from natdral warm mineral springs of an even temperature of 82 degrees Fahr, rataphoresis, or electric baths, moor baths or peat packs and the treatment of mas- seurs. Every convenience that will add to the comfort and hasten the re- covery of' the patients, now Cana- dian soldiers, has been installed and it is quite safe to say that this hos- pital will compare favorably with any military hospital yet organized. Its location too in the town of Buxton has much to do in its ad-| vantages as an hospital. Buxton is charmingly situated in the Peak dis- trict of Derbyshire which extends southwards through Dovedale to Ashbourne and the banks of the Riv- er Trent and northwards over a large area of hilly moorland. The | town itself is 'the highest in the| United Kingdom, being 1,000 feet| above sea level and surrounded by | hills which rise to altitudes of 1,500 to 2,000 feet, these protecting the] town from the violence of the winds. | From the earliest period of which | there is written record, Buxton ap-| pears to have been noted for its| warm springs. Prior to this it has| been proven from the remains of Roman baths, fortifications, ete., | which are found in the vicinity that | it was a resort of some importance | and consequently can rank as one of the oldest watering places in Britain, It is mentioned in the Domesday survey as '"Bawbestanes." It rises into prominence in the Tudor period in the reign of Henry VII when the well of St. Ann was much patronized for its curative powers. To drink a certain amount of water from this same well each day is part of the present treatment. From the fact that the ill-fated Mary Queen of Scots several sojourn- ed with _benefis;(even though in cap- tivity). Buxton became a fashionable resort. Since then the Spa has been successful in attracting many mem- bers of the Royal Family. In 1905 his late Majesty King Edward with Queen Alexrandia paid a visit; in 1912 Her Royal Highness Princess Victoria underwent a three weeks cure; and in 1914 Queen Mary visit- ed the Spa. It is very fortunate that such places as these may now be used and are so much at the disposal of the military authorities and the Cana- dian soldiers especially who are privileged to be treated by the Can- adian Red Cross hospital staff at Buxton will look back upon the days spent there as a very, bright spot in {the darkness of these - troublous Bis. ul.
