tions with regard to the death in ac- tion of her husband, whose picture appears in to-day's illustrated sup- | plement of the Whig: : June 24th, 1918. Dear Yrs. Hora: I thought I would just like to write you a line to assare you of the great sorrow it is to all ranks in the company, the loss of our gallant 0] Corporal Hora. He has always been dne of my best and most trustworthy N. C. O's, loved and re- spected by all the men under him. He died like a true soldier while in the execution of his duty, and I canngt' find words to express how sorry I am at losing such a good and efficient soldier as well as true friend. His platoon, No. 11, was badly hit that day, but behaved splendidly under most trying cir- cumstances. Their behavior was largely due to the fine example of bravery and coolness shown by yeur husband and his brother N. C. O's. Assuring you of the sympathy I feel for you in this great trouble. Yours very sincerely, W. L. Latta, Major 0. C. C. Co., 29th Battalion, In answer to your message A A 7 - 5 of the 2nd instant regarding No. 75786, Corpl. T. J. Hora, 29th Battalion. The following informa- tion is submitted by his Battalion through this office: This N, C, 0. was wounded at the culvert which is a post on the Ypres- Menin Road about 400 yards west of Hooge. He was wounded in the head on the night of the 13th June before the garrison to which he be longed was relieved by the 28th Bat talion, and the information is, that this wound would probably have proved fatal. However, while he was being carried out by his com rades on a stretcher along the Menin Road from the Culvert to the Menin Mill dressing station at 19d 8 - 4, another shell exploded near the group and he received further wounds. He was taken to the dressing station referred to and turned over there to the ambulance authorities, and the next advice that the battalion received was from Lieut.-Col. W. Marriott, R. A. M. C., the officer commanding the 10th Casualty Clearing Station, to the ef- fect that this N. C. 0. had died at 19.30 a. m., on the 15th of June. Presumably he was buried in a cem- etery near this station. This N. C. O. was most highly regarded by his Platoon Commander, Lieut. the Hon. F. E. Grosvenor, and by the other of- ficers of the Battalion, and if he had not become a casualty at this time, Have You a Photo Taken in Your Own Front Ee Room? ae ho. Iauired. We try to please.

Sm---- IN WHICH A WOUNDED KINGS- STONIAN WAS CONFINED. Pte, A, E. Mansfield Was Knocked .Cut in the Battle of St. Eloi--Is in an Hospital at Ramsgate, Kent, England. R. E. Genge has received a letter from Pte. A. E. Mansfield, of the transport section, of the 21st Bat- talion, who was wounded in the battle of St. Eloi. Pte, Mansfield is a former mem- ber of the RC.HA. He was with the R.C.H.A. for about ten years, and previous to enlisting was a newspaper man in Syracuse, N.Y. Since the letter was received it has been learned that Pte. Mansfield will not be fit for further service at the front. The letter was written from Ramsgatefent, England. the land of their enemies was the de- claration made by Prof. A. S. Fergu- son in a lecture Friday afternoon to the students of Queen's Summer School on "The Origin of Freedom." The reason of this, the lecturer ex- plained, was that the Roman idea of self-government did not penetrate Germany as completely as it did Italy, Spain, France and parts of Britain. Prof. Ferguson traced back the British type of freedom to ancient Greece and Rome. The great strug- gle now going on was to decide whether this type or another was to prevail. The Greek was very proud of his freedom, especially his intellectual ) freedom. He was a lover of know- "I suppose that you noticed by |ledge and freed himself from the sla- the casualty list that I got knocked | very of superstition.
