T0LD OF THE SURRENDER rHE GERMAN FLEET BRITISH ADMIRAL, Lectyre In Queen Street Methodist Church on Friday Evening By Rev. A. E. Runnells of Montreal. A md rtaining lecture entitl- ed "1 rendered Fleet' was de- livered Rev. A. £. Runnells, B.D., of Montr in Queen Street Metho- dist church on Frida$ evening. There audience present. Rev. is opened the meeting with ter which Mayor H. W. Newman was called upon to act as chairman. In introdueing the speak- er, the mayor said that Mr, Runnels had served in the: chaplain services overseas. A very pleasing musical programme was rendered 'by Miss doldie Bartels, violinist, Mrs. Evans, soprano, and Mrs. H. T, J. Coleman, contralto. Mrs: Evans 'sang "My Land" in splendid voice, and Mrs. Coleman rendered "Far, Far at Sea a very happy selection which was rendered in ag most pleasing and ef- fective manner. Rev. Mr. Runnells is an interesting speaker, and coming from amidst the scenes which he described," the dramatic end of the great war, by the surrender of the German high seas fleet, an event that has no pfral- lel in the history-of the world, his story had a touch of realism that ar- oused intense inter®st in his hearers. He described it as "the greatest drama that has been enacted in ages." The war was drawing to a close when he was privileged to go to the front. The battles of Amiens and Arras had been fought and when he returned to England he was for- tunate in being one of the visitors of the grand fleet for a period of fif- teen days, and it was during his vis- it that the greatest event in the memory of man took place on Nov. 15th, 1918. It was Germany's hum- iliation and Britain's triumph in the complete subjugation of German sea power. He told in vivid language the depredations comimitted by the German navy from the beginning of the war to its close; how the British, Bod swept their battleships and rruisery from the sea; of fhe submar- | ine atrocities and the heroism of the British mérchant seamen, and the | Zeebrugge exploit when our seamen | upheld the traditions of the navy in the days of Drake, Hawkins and Fro- brisher, as indeed, they did in every action. But it was the mystery ship that brought the war to a close by de- stroying the U-boats and convine- ing the Germans of the fruitlessness of their hopes ! in this particular weapon. The mystery ship was camouflaged to represent a tramp steamer; and acted as a decoy to the submarines which upon approach-| ing rar enough to.accept surrender | were promptly sent to the bottom of the ocean. It was stated by Ad- miral Simms of the United States navy, who served under Admiral Beatty, that there were never more | than nine German submarines ope- rating at one time. The anti-sub ships destroyed 203 of them. The United States contributed three per cent. to, the effectiveness of the anti-sub- craft. The convoy system and was a wonderful Of TO was perfect accomplish- miration. It was a proud thing to Bps Canadian and a British subject en one stop¥ to consider what was done by the navy and by the merchant marine that had trans. ported 19,000,000 men to the vari- ous theatres of war and only 2,000 were lost. Every 1,000 men repie- sented 5,000 tons of equipment and supplies. - The story of the British navy is one that calls for a Homer or a Milton. 'It is a tale of valor that had its beginning in the early dawn of the English people culmi- nating in a drama for which Ger- many had made boastful prepara- { tions through a long period of years and when toast "Der Tag' be- came a convention in social life. The end came when German sea- men mutinied, putting out the fires under their ships' boilers when br- dered out to sea. They only sur- rendered to authority upon the con- dition that the order be withdrawn, and it was, Then following the armistice came the crowning humi- ligtion, the like of which had never befallen any nation---the' surrender of the fleet. Mr. Runnells vividly described how the surrender 'was carried out. The Huns could nof be trusted, and the British fleet was formed into two lines reaching out to sea, with guns trained upon the Germans ash they steamed between the lines to the Firth of Forth. He was on a British battleship and was a wit ness of this most historic event. No man in the British fleet desired bloodshed, but there was none who would not have been. glad .to write "Paid in Full' geross the bill of German a es. The ships were inspected and guards were placed on board of them, Then was sent the 'message of Admiral Beatty: "The German flag will be hauled down and will hot De raised again without permission a lecture Run- and surrendered in on ty- five at a time.

At thé concluding session of the county eouncil on Saturday morn- ing Councillor Cox asked how the seed potato case against Pittsburg township stood. Councillor Spankie stated that the matter was in the courts, and that.the case had been held over until the spring sittings. Councillor McFadden asked what amount was being sued for, and Councillor Reed replied that it was about $2,400, but part of this amount had been paid in by Pert. land since the case was entered. Couneillor Clark said that Kingston township council had given no au- thority to order the potatoes andl it had refused to be responsible. He said that his couneil had not agreed to pay the deficit. as had been al- leged, In order 40 place the matter be- yond all doubt, it was decided on motion of Councillors Spankie and Cox that the county solicitor be in- structed to, proceed at once to re- cover from those responsible the amount of money illegally taken from the county treasury in 1817 for the purchase of seed potatoes. Councillor Spankie said that the statutes did not give county council power to purchase. seed. potatoes, and that the money>wrongly taken must be recovered. 2 Council adjourned 4intil the first Tuesday in June at 4 p.m. Information is wanted of the where- abouts of Pte. Ancel Wood, a son of Gilbert Wood, Odessa, Ont. He enlist- ed in the United States and went to France 'with the American armies. Corp. Geo. Tousley, a cousin, met him coming out of the trefiches after he had been gassed, and was on his way to.a hos- pital. The parents are very, anxious to find the present whereabouts of their won, and would be obliged if Am- {erican papers would copy this article. The piature of Pte. Wood occurs above. Coming to Griffin's. Mae Marsh, who plays the leading role of the Girl in the modern Lory of "Intolerance." DD. W. Griffin's mammoth spectacle, which will 'be seen at Griffin's next Monday, Tues- day and Wednesday, is known all over the country as the Maude Ad- ams fo the films. She has alse been called the girl with a thousand faces. She has played tomboys and heboineés, consumptive girls and athletic girls. She has been the slavey and she has been the princess, tut in "Intoler- ance," she assumes an entirely dif- ferent characterization which has proven ap epoch in her film career, As it is with Mae Marsh so it is with the remainder of the cast that inter. pret the various roles of this magn:- ficent photoplay, each has been chus- en, and cast in a role most suited to their various talents, with the re- sult that the story is enacted in a fldwless and true to life manner. One of the most celebrated historical ob- jects in Paris is the old bell which hangs in the belfry of the beautiful church of St, Germain ,L'Auxerrois. It was this bell that tolled the signal for the massacre of the Huguenots in 1672 AD. or the French episode of Grifith's "Intolerance'" a repro- duction of this famous bell may be seen again sounding the tocsin for the victims of Catherine de Medijci's heartless plotting. Never in the history of the stage have the cus. to nd habits of Jerusaliwm in the a Christ been npeproduced as alized in this great spetacle. Hach incident selected from ' the Christian Gospels has been treated tactfully, artictically and with the ut- most reverence. "Intolerance" is like a dream come true, a vision realized. 'No one can tell the story with word, brush or pen. It is too comprehensive, too far reaching in its scope. It must be seen to be realized. «This special opportunity afforded patrons of this theatre to view this stupéndons { Arthur, J. BE.
