Kingston should make every effort 't0 'hold the industries it has, and while it is looking for new ones to remember the adage "to make new frienfls but keep the old, the one is silver, the other gold." So long as Kingston has its locomotive works there will not be cause for worry, but the value of these works to the city should be duly appreciated. The locomotive industry and Queen's University are the backbone of Kingston, Without them this efty would be like Ottawa without the yvernment and its lumber it cult thing to secure the establish- ment of a good industry to-day. There are so many places with large vacant buildings recently used for munition manufacture that indus trial concerns can get them for a small outlay and the places that can alan offer cheap power and good rail- turers. It must be recognized that Kingston is not yet able to offer power cheap enough to compete with western places, and {ts railway freight conditions must be largely improved. Civic bodies must solve these drawbacks. POLITICS ANP THE CANADIAN ARMY MEDICAL CORPS. By a strange coincidence two very important documents reached our desk simultaneously the other day. One was a verbatim report of the speech made in the House of Com- mons 'on May 27th by Sir Edward Kemp, the overseas minister of mili< tia. 'The other was a sheet copy of a book entitled 'Politics and the Can- adidn Army Medical Corps," by Col. Herbert A. Bruce (William Briggs). The latter is a man whose name is well known in Canada, for he is pro fessor of clinical surgery at Toronto University, and a colonel in the British Army Medical Corps and the C.A.M.C. The connection be- tween these two documents is very close, for the book by Cel. Bruce ens tirely negatives many of the state< ments made by Sir Edward Kemp, On page 27 of the report of the latter's speech, we read that W. w. Nickle put some questions to the minister regarding the medical sers vices overseas. . The final question and answer are as follows: £Mr. Nickle: 'Then we had an ex- cellent medical service?' "Sir Edward Kemp: "There i§ no doubt about it in my mind. In every 'way it was the very best there was.' That reply gives the official atti- tude towards any questions régardidg the conduct 'of the C.A.M.C. overd Seas, but a pernsal of the book by Col. Bruce tells Story. It tells of how he was aps Pointed to investigate the conditions in the medical services overseas, and 'how he found that things were in a. deplorable state. With great entire medical services overseas, but, he found a stumbling block in the facet that politics were beieng allows ed to play a large part in the ser- vice. One glaring instance of this is given in the book. In the reors ganization of the medical services, conducted under the sub-militia council, on the motion of Col. Ash: ton, seconded by the late General Steele, it was decided to order Sur- have been inefficient, to return to Canada and report to the Adjutants| General. Before this action could be 'taken, however political events had caused the appointment of Sir George Perley as overseas minister of militia, with power to take over the question of the C.AMC, under his own control. In the introduction to the book ai follows: : ' "Practically his. first oficial act was to over-ride the decision of the sub-Militia Counell and cancel the act was unquestiona OF Cry |: / Gor "Bruce presented vices to tie govern a' very differant]: energy he set about reorganizing the! a geon-General Jones, who seams 'tol B The result is told] H WHIG, FRIDAY, JUNE 27,1919. | M pie Cen, = i % ed' ale outitléd to kuow why the abilities of this expeplenced and able surgeon were expressly denied to their' near and dear ones, at crucial periods when the Canadian army was in need of all the expert, surgical assistance available.

As Book Agent. : New York, June 27.--It's a far hark from being the big frog in the puddle at the German war office fo peddling a book in Stockholm, yet that is whait the fortunes, or mistor- tunes, of war have brought General Ludendorff to, according to Ira Nel- son Morris. United States minister to Swedeng who returned her on thé Franc liner Rochambeayd. Mr. Morris saw Ludendorff, shortly be- fore the minister left for America; hawking in Stockholm a book he had Chysles Stewart, Parnell, Bon June 27th, 1846. Since the days of the Unién until to-day, no man bias commanded the affections of the Irish people and the respect of his English political col- leagues (0 a gréater aegrée than Charles Stewart Parnell, named the ""'uncrowned king of Ireland, who was born seventy-iiree years ago to- day. The Parnell family was of English origin and more than one of its members rose to prominence, in public life under the Stuarts and during the Commonwealth, His mother Was an American, while on Hhis father's side he was directly des- cended from Sir John. Parnell, & famous Chancellor of the Excheguer, who was a leader of the Grattan Par- Hament. In his early years he was not a politician and it-was not until after he had paid a lengthy visit to the United States that he offered himself as a eandidate in the County ot Wicklow in 1874. Logal com- plications prevented him from car rying out nis intention and he was first elected for Meath in the follow ing year. In the House of Commons he soon began $0 mike his * mark, largely because he was the first mem- ber to recommend ang oa organized course of ebstr: 1880 he declared openiy would have no alliance with either political panty in England, but would support each in turn with a fixed de~ termination to hold dhe balance of power if he could. From that time Le became leader of the Home Rule party. The years that followed were stormy ones for Ireland. The pas- sage of the Relief Bill only served to fan discontent, which was focus- sed in the public view by the Phoe- nix Park murders. The defeat of the Home Rule Bill in 1886 was the culminating point of -Parnell's in« fluence of English politics~and par- ties. The commission of enquiry ap< pointed to investigate certain charges of illegal practices made certain damaging findings against Parnell, but these were neutralized by his vindication of | the darker charges against him, "In 1889 he ap- peared as co-responddnt in. a Sos 8 suit, and when after the divor as granted he married the wife of his friend, his public downfall eccurred.
