Professor | take the trouble to translate it for { publication?" And the second 18 like { unto the first, "Why did the Whig | take the trouble to publish it?" i The article drips venom. It bears {all the earmarks of a deliberate at- | tempt to stir up enmi'y between Brit- | ain and France. The tale of the al- s| leged atrocities is probably as true | as the tales of enemy atrocities | usually are. One is reminded of the | legend of the cuttle-fish, which is sald to have the ability to emit an | inky" fluid inh order to darken the water enough to allow it to escape from it's enemies, In short, this is [the same old anaesthetie of propagan- | da; the same old hypodermic diplom- acy that breeds war by the injection | of suspicion and jealousy. Is it not {high time that our infatuated in- structors should tie up the old bull? | Sincerely yours, CHAS. McDONALD. 63 Livingston Ave, Editor's note.--In reply to our correspondent we would answer the two questions as follows: (1) Prof. Macgillivray supplied the translation at the request of the Whig, and for | his work our thanks are hereby pub- licly tendered. (2) The article was published in order that the readers { of the Whig might know something of the workings of the German mind at the present time. It has long been | the policy of this paper to give both | sides of a qhiestion; that man is but | poorly informed indeed who knows only one -side of a question, We have confidence enough in our read- ers' intelligence to believe they can | receive all kinds of information and still retain sense encugh to sift the | chaff from the wheat.

Thompson, Hillier. | | | Picton Gazette The honor for having the young- est doldier in the great war has been claimed by both the United States | and France but the honor really be- longs to Canada and in particular to | R. C. Thompson, son of Mr. and Mrs. | R. W. Thompson, of Hillier, who en- | listed when only thirteen years of | age, | At the time of enlistment he was | in attendance at the Picton Collegi- | ate, but recruiting speeches and the sight of khaki, with great adventures before those who wore it, had so roused his patriotic fervor that throwing books aside he became one of the 'rookies squad" of the 80th Battalion, enlisted for the *'duration of the war and one year thereafter." Beside him in the ranks were none with less than eighteen years behind them, mostly men with physique which was quite mature. But the | spirit and. imagination of thirteen | years was sufficient to carry him | through the same routine as his com- | panions. For six weeks he carried | on, had learned the ways of the army | to some extent and was probably | congratulating himself on having es- | caped detection of his age at the very moment when the age of the youth- ful soldier was brought to tha atten- tion of the authorities. His discharge was obtained against which he pro- tested strongly, declaring he would rather die a hero fighting for right and liberty than live a coward. It was easy however, to re-enlist, which he did at Wellington three months later on March 16th, 1916, this time with the 155th Battalion. He was to have better luck with re- gard to detection of his youth. Per- | haps the look of determination to be | a soldier added years to his head. At any rate he remained in the army, transferring to the 4th Pioneer Bat- talion and accompanying the unit to St. Andrews', New Brunswick. Here he trained and later at Digby, Nova Scotia, leaving for overseas on Sep- tember 14th, 1916, being then four- teen years of age, i Six months' training in England | was sufficient to fit *he battalion for active service. Pte. Thompson gérv- ed for about six months in France with the 224th Battalion and took part in the battle of Vimny Ridge. It was finally discovered that he was only fifteen ygars of age and he was sent back to Canada in October, 1917, receiving his discharge. "Once a soldier, always a soldier," was very true in this case, Not a month had passed before he was again in the ranks, having enlisted at Toronto in November, 1917, in the 1st Depot Battalion. He was one of the soldiers sent from Toronto to Halifax after the disaster there on December 6th, 1917, where he spent several weeks doing relief work. On returning to Toronto he was promoted to the office of Sergeant- Major while still fifteen and held the office when he went overseas the second time. | time with the Canadian 'Mounted | Rifles and was with that battalion at He served again in France, this Mons when the armistice was sign- ed. At this time he was 16 years of age, after having served twice in France. E. Roy Thompson who enlisted and went overseas with the 235th Bat- talion and served in France with the 4th CM.R.,, was also a son of Mr. and Mrs. R. W. Thompson. Selling Fair Buildings.
