The appeal will last for one week, during which time a system- atic canvass of the city will be made. Comforts, recreations and relief are needed by the boys at the front, and, these necessities are 8! abundantly afforded by the Catholic s| England and France. throughout The present campaign is closely allied to that re- cently conducted by the Y. M. C. A. Both these agencies are doing a splendid work in the interests af the Army Huts scattered 8 Canadian lads who are facing paln gl and death far from home and coun- try. Both administer to the needs of all soldiers alike, irrespective of B| race, color or creed. The Whig has Special Values in 'Stockings WOMEN'S HEAVY COTTON STOCK-: INGS for fall wear.

"A Daughter of the Sup," the story of an Hawaiian Butterfly, will be the attraction at the Grand Opera House to-night. The play is of a type sun- ilar to the famous "Bird of Paradise," and it is said to be one of the most gorgeously staged productions of the current season. It will be presented by a capable company headed by Miss Freda Tymers, including Richard Earle, Walter Ayres, Blosser Jen- nings, Jean Clarendon, Virgina Stuart and Hilda Graham. The play hinges around the efforts of Japanese agents, although watched by secret service men, to gain possession of the Hawaiian Islands by intrigue and sit- uations of an intensely dramatic char- acter are developed. There is a deé~ lighttul love story woven through the plot and it contributes an infinite charm to the drama. One of the chief features of the show is the wonderful scenic effects, especially the scene showing the eruption of the volcano. At Griffin's. Again last evening many admir- ers of Douglas Fairbanks assembled at Griffin's, and were entertained royally by his clever acting in "Bound in Morocco," which gives the versatile "Doug" an opportun- ity tor some of his best "stunts." Phis is a picture that will make you forget your troubles, and will hold your interest from the beginning un- til the very last scene is flashed up- on the curtain. Douglas Fairbanks' picture is sufficient attraction in itself, but when our programme also boosts talented Gail Kane in "Souls in Pawn," you may be sure of a gen- uine evening's entertainment, and that the audience last night found it so was evidenced in a most em- phatic manner. See this programme this evening and make sure of hav- ing seen one of the season's hits. At The Strand. "No Man's Land," a screen version of the novel of the same name, by Louis Joseph Vance, with Bert Lytell as the star, will be shown at the Strand, Monday, Tuesday and Wed- nesday®of next week. Mr. Lytell is considered one of the most talented and gifted of the younger generation of American actors. Those who have seen "The Lone ' Wolf" (which was shown in Kingston 'to capacity houses) will no doubt re- member the leading: character "The Crook," which was played by Mr. Lytell, and in this new vehicle is even better. For.real thrilling, exciting ad- venture "No Man's Land" would be impo$sible to duplicate. Mr. Lytell proves that he is well called "the Athletic Actor." In this picture he rescues a man from drowning, fights German sailors by the score, wrests a gun from a would-be suicide, blows up an enemy raider with a cleverly concealed bomb, and last, but not least, rescues the beautiful lady from the hands of desperate men. Mr. Lytell has put his entire heart into the work, making a production remarkable in its reality. High class comedies and topicals complete the programme.
