THIS QUESTION HAS BEEN ASK- 5D BY THOUSANDS The Whig Has Heard Several Stories That Would Confirm Rumour That He is a Prisomer. "Is Kitchener alive?" This won- dérful question has been agitating | the whole British Empire ever since the H.M.8. Hampshire was sunk near the Falklands Islands. "The latest and sensational announcement by Kitchener's sister that he is still alive has again started many. stories. A few weeks after his reported death, while on his way to Russia, the Whig was told by sqyperal citizens that they did not believe he was dead. They recounted the story of his work in the Far East when for certain reasons he 'played dead." Others simply would not believe it. A few months ago stories that would give some semblance of fact to the rumours presented themselves. A Kingston lady residing in the west end of the city had received a letter from Montreal which gave the story. This information eame frcm a Mon- treal stenographer, whose sister in England had been written to by a sailor of the Hampshire who was a prisoher in Germany. The Whig had ite representative in Montreal follow up the eluwes but it was Impossible to verify the story without leaving an element of doubt. Some time ago a Kingstoniin in Edmonton heard the story and re- turning here told the Whig of it. Prof. W. Nicol sometime ago heard the story from - George Forbes, Guelph, who was reported as having seen a letter from q prisoner in Ger- many intimating that Kitchener was a prisoner there. In every case the sentance in the letters on whi¢h the story ates, was worded in such a manner as, "It would surprise the world if they knew who was in this camp with us. I can mot write his name be- cause of the ever watchful censor." Opinions vary as to whether there is any truth in the story and the whole world will indeed he happy if the good news should be true WIN-THE-WAR CONVENTION. It is Suggested That Gathering Be in Arena. Toronto, July 26.--The® Ontario non-partisan Win-the-War Conven- ;tion on Thursday and Friday of next week will be held in the Arena, the largest building in the city. The annduncement of the Convention has already produced so many. requests for enrolment, said Mr. Gould, the viceschairman of the executive, to- day, that the other halls under con- sideration for -the great war confer- ence had fo be gbandoned. It is evident that the call for a truly popular convention looking for deliverance from the bondage of par- tyism will be the most welcomed event in Canadian national affairs since Confederation. Citigens who have called themselves by every po- litical name unite in saying that the convention 1s just what is needed to express the deep patriotism of the people who care intensely for suc- cess in the war and wish to translate their feelings into effective non-par- tisan action during the coming elec- tion, : Ladies' organizations want to be present at a gathering wiich pro- mises to be epach-making in Ontario and Canadian history. We are as- sured of unique support. From one Conservatives will attend and every mail brings lists of public-spirited men who are with us heart and soul. Asked as to the attitude of the po- litical parties to the convention, Mr. Gould said he knew very little about that and was mot worrying.

Miss Pearson plays! the part of the Princess Sylvia, a! charming girl who has decided views on matrimony, the most important of which is that she refuses to have her husband. picked out for her by a body of diplomats. So while re- fusing the opportunity thus offered to wed the Emperor Ferdinand, her idol and hero, she sets out to win him in the good old fashioned way. How she accomplishes this is certain to swpgep the cobwebs of gloom out of many a mature. Other interest-|' ing films were the Universal Screen Magazine; "Chubby Takes a Hand"; The Pathe News, and a great com- edy, "Some Specimens" featuring Eddie Lyons and Lee Moran.
