Henry Edward Pense, D.8.0., M.C,, is the new officer com- manding the 14th Regiment Prin- cess of Wales Own Rifles, Kingston, He succeeds Lt.-Col. W, Y. Mills who aas been in command during the past four years, and recently made appli- cation for transfer to the reserve of officers. Brig.-Gen. Williams, G.0.C. M.D., No. 3, had selected Lt.-Col, Pense as the logical commanding of- ficer, but Col. Fense desired time to consider the matter, and at a meeting of, the officers of the Regiment hela at the Armouries Thursday evening he was the unanimous choice, offi- cers who, under the militia system were senior, waived their rights in his favor. It was the general opinion that the commanding officer ought to be one who had seen service in the war just closed, and, if possible, one who commanded a unit in the field. Col. Pense thanked the officers for expressing their appreciation of his services and stated that while he would like to see the C.E.F. units perpetuated, still he had a warm at- tachment to the old 14th, in which he first enlisted as a private, and he hoped to sée it reorganized and be a rallying point in the city as it had been in the past. The first duty he will be called up- on to perform will be to provide a Guard of Honor for the Prince of Wales on the occasion of his visit in Kingston in October. It is hoped that the guard of honor will be ¢ mposed entirely of Overseas men. The band is to be reorganized at once and it is expectedr that there will be a good band with the guard. Col. Pense has elaborate plane along social lines that he hopes to put into practical form as soon as suitable rooms in the ar- mouries are available. Lt.-Col. Pense was associated with Brig-Gen, W. 8. Hughes in the 14th and when that officer was organizing the 21st battalion, Col. Pense (then a lieutenant) was appointed a plat- oon commander in "A" Company. On the Hth Feb. 1910, he was pro- moted to the rank of captain, and as- sumed duty as second in command of «0 Company, which pest he held until appointed to command "A Company in the fighting at the St. Eloi Craters in April 1916. He was appointed an acting Major July 1st, 1916, when the battalion captured the sugar factory near Courcelette, on the Somme. Rejoining the battal- jon on Oct. 29th, 1917, On the death in action of tho late Lt.-Col. E. W. Jones, he was appointed to command the battdlion, receiving the tempor ary rank of Lt.<Col. on 9th Aug. 1918. He was near Mons when the armistice was signed and was the first to cross the Rhine at the head of his battalion. He returned to Ca- nada with his unit, reaching the city on May 24th, 1919, ea -------- COUNTRY NEEDS SUCH MEN. ---- Hope Mr. Nickle's Retirement Is Not Permanent, ronto Star. The retirement of Mr. Nickle, of Kingston, from parliament is much to be regretted. While his affiliations are with the Conservative party he is an independent in the true sense, 4 man of strong convictions, as resolute as he is quiet in manner, Making no parade of independence, he occasion- ed surprise by the determination with which he adhered to his convictions and followed up his speech with his vote. Parliament needs such men and the country needs them, knows Ottawa knows that it is very comfortable place for an inde- pendent man, If a man speaks and votes steadily with the government or the opposition he has hie steady will the n, and he will be sure entel the eye of the speaker.

The statement of several days ago that the residence, on University ave- nue, occupied by T. W. Rowlands, was sold to Rev. J. D. Boyd, is not | accurate. It was sold under condi: tions but the conditions have not yet been fulfilled as the leaseholder has not been satisfied. fF Wholesale dealers in this city deny that there is profiteering in sugar as alleged by Mr. McFall in his report.

Miss Clara Byrnes, of New York, Attended the Convention of the Union of Canadian Municipalities, Miss Clara Byrnes, of the National Municipal League and Hunter Col- lege, New York City, one of the dele- gates to the Convention of Canadian Municipalities, on Thursday availed herself of the Whig's invitation to the general public to call at the office | and inspect the new press in action.| She was fortunate enough to arrive at! the moment when the pressman was | casting one of the stereotype plates; from a matrix, and was greatly inter. ested in the process. She considered that the Whig's new equipment was | | on a par with that of some of the! New York papers, and she fully real- ized the great advantage this is to] the Whig, Miss Byrnes is a faithful | reader of the 'Whig, and said she wished to compliment the manage | ment on their enterprise in having this splendid press added to their] equipment. { Speaking of the value of the Whig as a newspaper, she said that she found it a very refreshing pastime to read its columns after having per: used the large city dailies, as there is in the Whig none of the stereotyped phrases and articles which are com. | mon in the larger papers. She espe- cially commented upon the excellence of the Whig's editorial page, which she spoke of as being written straight from the heart and with a style which appealed to her very much. As Miss Byrnes is one of the staff of Hunter College, a large New York ediica- tional institution for young ladies, and has done considerable journalis. tic work for the New York Journal, the New York Tribune and several American magazines, her comment is indeed high praise. She has on more SUMMER HATS ~--FOR MEN. FOR LADIES. wee FOR. CHILDREN. Great Bargains TO-MORROW 1t low prices on Hats will clear them quickly we should dispose of hundreds to-morrow.
