CONNELL x FAKE . COMMAND OF | QU EEN' § HOSPITAL IN FRANCE. Liout. ~Col. Etherington Has Asked fo Be Releved--A Number of Doctors and Nurses Returning. A change in the personnel of No. {7 (Queen's University) Canadian General Hospital in France is 'short- ly to be announced. It is understood that Lieut.-Col. Frederick Ethering- ton, who has been in command for over three years, has asked to be re- lHeved of duty, and so far as at pres- ent known, Lieut.-Col. W.. T. Con- nell. who was originally with Queen's Hospital Corps overseas, and who has been in command of the hospital in Kingston, will proceed overseas and take command in France. It is lkq- \ ly that Col. Connell wil®take over with him a number of doctors and nurses from the local hospital and relieve those who have been on ser- vice overseas so long. Queen's Hospital has had a strenu- ous time since it went overseas in May, 1915. It first did duty at Cairo, Egypt, and then was transferred to France, A few months ago it was bombed on three occasions and a number of its buildings and some of its equipment were destroyed. Many of its nursing staff suffered from shock and had to be sent to England for a rest. Some of these nurses are coming home, along with some of the medical officers, and it is likely that arrangements will be made to retain them at' Queen's Hospital here for duty. Tt is not known if Lieut.-Cok Etherington will return jor not, He was offered command of a large hos- pital in England, but has not ac- cepted, . CANNOT BREAK THE GW.YA.

Uultimately they will be taken in as active members, but for a year or so an association going by the name of the Great War Veterans' Association cannot afford tg take in members of previous campaigns as active members because they would absolutely control the association. Major Goodwin also spoke upon the alien labor resolution and re- garded it as a splendidly prepared and able recommendation. The land settlement scheme as existing to-day did not strike Comrade Good- win as of much value, but he felt that if the recommendations of the convention were adopted that Can- ada would have a land settlement scheme, setond to none in the world. The riot in Toronto struck him as being singularly unfortunate. With- out a doubt the Government has | the alien too -well, but the re- Bl! turned man cannot afford to Fw the law into his own hands. A Com- rade Goodwin felt that the' lawless element among the returned men should be curbed and had so moved at the convention in connection with the Toronte riots. Comrade Bowker 'gave some inter- esting reminiscences of the conven- tion. 'He compared himseM to the silent parrot and seems never to have seen his picture in the Star, The new clauses on membership met with h's approval. He was very dissatisfied with the agenda as brought down and had -moved that for.future con- ventions committees should be named in advance, so that the work to be done miight be definitely before the convention on the very first day. He claimed that this was the chief cause of any differences which might have arisen.at the convention, One Hundred Per Cent, Sound. Comrade Topping reported that as a member of the ways and means committee he tould report that the Dominion command was one hundred per cent. sound. The committee had recommended that approximately $25,000 be voted for the carrying on of the work during the coming year. The chief items of expenditure were salaries to the Dominion .secretary- treasurer's office and the expenses of executive meetings in Ottawa. The money would be raised by a per cap- ita tax of sixty cents and the sale of badges. The Hydget counted on an increase of 'five thousand members per quarter and it' was not considered that this was above what could be obtained. "This committee had also investigi.ted the finances of the Vet- eran. Numerous complaints had been laid against this publication, but the committee felt that under its present management, so far as the business end was concerned, Comrade Ander son ought to be continued in his pres- ent office. It was recommended that in view of the great dissatisfaction caused by the Veteran coming out late in month, that the publica- u take place on the first of every~fuonth, despite the financial loss entailed. Comrade Goodwin stated | Military News " The Ottawa Journal-Press says "The speaker at the Protestant sei vice on Sunday wag Very Rev, Dean Starr, Kingston, who spoke impress- sively of the significance of the Maple Leaf, Canada's national emblem. His sermon left a deep impression which was plainly shown by the attention paid by the soldiers." Major A. E. latta, who bas been assistant to the A.D.M.S., has been appointed medical officer of the Inva- lided Soldiers' Commission in Kings- ton. Major Latta saw service over- seas. He succeeds Capt. A. J. Ran- { dalls, who is going overseas short- ly. 'Capt. Randalls, after graduating ai Queen's, practised his profession at Kinosha, Wis., and he returned to Kingston to enter the C.A.M.C. The publication of the Veteran, the official organ of the G.W.V.A., costs $121,000 a year. General Maunsell, G.S.0., acting G.0.C., inspected the N.C.O.'s class at Barriefield camp to-day. He is em- inernitly satisfied with the prizress 'being made in the training of these men, every one of whom will Le qual- ified as drill P.T., bayonet fighting and musketry instructor. It is the aim of General Maunsell to have each N.C.O. efficient in every branch rather than to have specialists. The class consists of 150 men. The name of the Ongwanada hos- pital; is to be changed to Sydenham, according to military orders. S2rgt. A. H. Platford, son of Lieut.-Col. Platford, D.S.0., of the London Seottish, who was killed at the battle of Mons, was discharged from Barriefield camp on Aug. 3rd, being medically unfit for further service. He served in France for two years, being wounded and gass- ed.

This role was made famous by Billie} Burke in London and New York, and} Miss Griffith's interpretation of the! part of a young girl who refuses to marry a book-worm, but chooses a count instead, measures up to the high standard set by this distinguish-| ed star of the speaking stag In the supporting cast to Miss Grifith are| Julia Swayne Gordon, Edward Burns, Denton Vane, Florence Deshon snd | many other screen favorites. "Love Waiches" derives its title from the tome of the play, which is that love] watches over its own, that it is a! tailisman which will protect man or! woman. Besides this splendid feature | there was also the Pathe News, ul screamingly funny comedy that 'was| a sure cure for the blues, and other good reels, The vaudeville consisted | of the Flying Talbots in a trapaze' and aerial act, one of the best of its! kind ever shown here. The same bill will be repeated to-night and Wed- nesday, matinee and night, At Griffin's. Despite the warm weather last! evening an unusually large audience | assembled at Griffin's and viewed! with much enthusiasm the delight- ful programme exhibited. Tyrone Power, that eminent artist of stage and screen, was seen to splendid ad- vantage in the magnificent produc: | tion, "A Modern Lorelei," in which he takes the part of Paul, a seal fisher, and gives his usual strong delineation of a strangely sym- pathetic character. The sweetness of the story is peculiarly appealing, and the fine work and impressive personality of Tyrone Power stands out strongly in this picture. * In ad- dition to this feature, Enid Beénnett, the popular Paramount star, was seen in her newest picture, "A Des- ert Wooing," which proved in every respect to be the equal of any of Miss Bennet's former successes, and received a warm reception from the audience present. | ZEPPELINS FAILED IN RAID ON ENGLAND Attacked at Sea--One Was Brought Down and Anoth- er Damaged. (Canadian Press Despatch)» London, Aug. 6.--Zeppelins ap- proached the east coast of England at 9.30 o'clock last night, but did not penetrate far inland. One of the enemy craft, a Zeppelin, was brought down, it was offieially announced to-day. The text of the official statement follows: "Five enemy airships attempted to cross the coast last night but while still at sea were attacked by a Royal Air 'Force contingent co-operating with naval units, Three were engag-~ ed in action and one was shot down in flames, forty miles from the coast, Andther was damaged, but probably succeeded in reaching its base." The attempted raid by German Zeppelins on the east coast of Eng- land last night proved to be a com- plete fiasco, according to reports thus far received. British fliers, who are ever on the alert along the coast, were ready for the visitors and met them out at sea, bringing down one in flames, damaging a second and driving a third away. What happen- ed to the other airships in the squad- ron is not disclosed in the official statement. The fact, however, that the report sdid, "Zeppelins crossed the coast," is ground for presump- tion that these did reach land. There is no evidence as yet that they drop- ped any bombs and it is probable that their crews were kept busy protect- ing their ships against the pursuing British airmen, LANDING OF ALLIES.
