\ "ALLEN Ralph Connor's _The Foreiguer ALLEN Ralph Connor's | "The Foreigner" | RINGSTON, ONTARIO. FRIDAY, NOV, 11, 1921. LAST EDITION, ARMISTICE DAY MEMORIAL SERVICE IN THE ARMOURIES Lt.-Gen. Sir Richard Turaer, Bishop of Ostario And Capt. Nicholson Spoke-Kingston Observes Third An- { In spite of the inclement weather, the armouries was packed to ca- pacity Friday morning by people de- sirous of joining in the service to the memory of those gallant Cana- dfans' who made the supreme sac- rifice during the great war of 1914- 18, those who "never turned their backs, but marched breast forward, never doubting clouds would break, never dreamed though right were 'worsted, wrong would triumph." The spectacle, as each unit march- ed to its appointed place in the hol- low square, surrounding the ceno- taph, was very imposing and im- pressive. One hundred and forty- nine gentlemen cadets of the Royal Military College, representing the exact number of ex-cadets of the college who were killed in this war, presented a very military appear- ance, and every movement was car- ried out with a precision, which has made this institution famous throughout Canada and the world, and 'which it wopdd be exceedingly difficult to excell. Smart, athletic, well-trained and well-disciplined youths, they are worthy successors to the great-hearted galaxy of fight- ing men who composed the Canadian gorps. The two batteries of the R.C.H.A. and No. 3 company of the R.C.,G.A., as well as members pf other permanet units, presented 8 very soldierly appearance, and any favorable comments were pany concerning their general bear- Ing on parade. The members of the headquarters staff, many officers re- presenting the militia units of the garrison, members of the 2nd and 21st Battalion Clubs and the differ- ent patriotic societies of the city, and citizens of all classes and creeds were present for the ceremonies. And last, but by no means least, the different formations of boys in the Hghland Cadets, St. Mary's School and K.C.1I. Cadets, each with a dis- tinctive uniform, AX The Cenotaph. The cenotaph itself, a, large, though simple, white wooden cross, draped in the Union Jack, surmount- ed by a single wreath of flowers; was surrounded at the base by a mass of beautiful flowers, and occupied a central and imposing position in the hollow square of troops. To many, It must have been a source of infinite regret that for a second time it was necessary for the military author- ities to undertake the erection of A temporary cenotaph, It is to be hoped that Kingstonians may never fail to foregather on Armistice Day and. pay tribute to the valiant dead, and a permanent cenotaph . would, besides being a thing of beauty, prove a* constant inspiration to those feft behind, and a desirable ren- dezvous for ceremonies of so exalted & nature as that performed Friday morning. The memorial services were open- 8d with the hymn, 'Nearer, My God, to Thee." Major the Rev, W. E. Kidd, M.C., then read a lesson from the scriptures. Major the Very Rev. G. L. Starr led in prayer. The hymn," "Oh, God, Our Help in Ages Past," was played by the R.C.H. A. band before the two main addresses were given, In introducing the Right Rev, the Lord Bishop of Ontario, Mayor Ii, C. Nickle sald that Bishop Bidwell was one of the most prominent men in the Anglican church to-day. The bishop's address was as follows: --Bishop Bidweéll's Address, "No greater distinction could be accorded to any man than the privi- lege and honor of speaking on an ac- casion of this kind. - Yet the task is a difficult one. The most eloquent words seem inadequate and feeble.

"It is, therefore, impossible to do more than attempt to express though very imperfectly something of the feelings which are or shouid be in bur hearts today.

Very likely they were j quite unconscious of the high ideals | But -the call of | which were behind their action. they heard a doublercall- empire, motherland, country in.need of her sons in the hour of peril; they heard too the call of duty. And they obeyed that two-fold call. No doubt | they hoped that they migh* be spar- ed to return to the home they loved. | they were bound to go, and if it were so ordained give theif very all for the cause at stake. Those whom we re- member today did not return. They lie in their distant graves far across| the sea, kindred. To us their lives appear cut short by untimely death. Yet life is not measured by its length in years, but by what it has accomplish- ed. A life prolonged to the utmost human span could not effect more than, if so much as, it was given to these men to accomplish, namely to give even life itself for the sake of the highest cause they knew. Next, we remember them in the cherished relationships of humanlife, ---as huebands, Iatners, sons, broth- ers, and friends. Ve join in their mourning today ie those grieving for personal losses, who are longing "for the touch of a vanished hand, and the sound of a voice that is still." Such grief is most natural: np human consolation can redlly assuage 'it. Bat we can' at least ' assure these mourners that we genuinely share their grief with thém; we can soften it in some measure by letting them know how proud we 'are of their dead, whose memory we honor today The burden of their'sorrow will be in some measure lightened, when they realize that it is their own lov- ed ones whose names are inscribed gn the roll of fame, and whose deeds and sacrifices we commemorate on this anniversary. May He who wipes away all tears give them his divine comfort. They Belong to Us AIL These men indeed belonged partic- ularly to those who knew and loved them. But in a very true sense they belong to us all. They and all who like them gave their lives for their country are a great national possess- ion. They were the product of our race, of the same blood and stock as ourselves. They were, as we say in the simple language of affection, "our boys." It is the merest common- place, of which the truth has been proved over and over again in his- tory, that the true wealth of a nation consists not in gold or abundance of resources or even in extent of terri- tory, but in its citizens. It will be- come and remain great only on con- dition that it produces men and women capable of responding to great and noble ideals. We know that this is most true; yet it is a truth that is very easily forgotten or obs- cured. Because it is true, we are here to-day, We grieve indeed with the mournefs, but we rejoice that these men have done what they did. action such as theirs not only re- the future. However difficult and baffling may be the problems which confront us, we can facé them with good hope, when we remember that in a crisis our race has never yet, thank God, been found wanting, as these men and countless others like them proved. In any case, no further reverses, no Jose of prestige or pride of' place can aver deprive us of the memory of their achievement As the famous Athenian statesman Pericles wards of two hundred years ago, they are a "possession for ever." snr, The Only Danger, "The only danger then of our ever losing this priceless memory is that we should forge! in our own lives the simple yet fundamental ideal for which they lived and died.

The business of the world is so absorbing, the compe- tition so severe, the attraction of ma- terial suceess so alluring, that the standards of life and conduct which alone can make a peopie great are in danger of being lowered or even for- gotten. The great value of a memor- lal service of this kind lies in the { fact that it brings before us in a manner which all can understand the truly great things in life. Devotion to duty, obedience at all costs to tha highest call that we can hear, this Tis the lesson that this service and that engraved etone teach us.

May those whose names are here record- ed on this roll of honor rest in peace, and may Light Eternal ever shine upon them." % Mayor Nickle Speaks. Mayor Nickle spoke as follows: "It is a great pleasure for me to-day to have the honor to introduce to' you Lieuteant-General Sir Richard Turn- er, a man whose overseas record is so complete in success, and sterling in quality, that I do not feel that it is within my power to give to you the detail as it should be, and there. fore, I apologize if I should read my speech under such existing cir- cumstances, General Turner joined the Canadian Expeditionary Forces on August 4th, 1914, with the rank of colonel, in command of the Third {Canadian Highland Infantry Brigade |and with this brigade he pro- 'ceeded to France and was there pro I'moted to the rank of brigadier-gen- eral. During the second battle of Ypres, where the Canadians, as you all remember, bore the brunt of the battleand turned the Germans when gas Was first used, it was upon the shonlders of Sir Richard Turner that the great responsibility rested in that he during that battle not only com- manded his own brigade but also Canadian brigade, giving him in all six units, for which' he was respon- sible in so far as their operations went. Later in the summer, General Turner figured prominently at the battle of Givenchy and Festubert, and in 1916 this officer, whom I have the pleasuré to introduce to-day, was promoted to the rank of major-gen- eral and given the command of the second Canadian Division in which was the good old Twenty-first Bet- talion from this city, As G. 0. C. of the Second Division he commanded it successfully at the battles of St. Eloi and the Somme, and in Novem- ber of 1916 he was recalled to Eng- land by the prime minister of Ca- nada and appointed general officer commanding Canadians in Britain with the rank of lleutenant-general. In March 1918 he was appointd chief of the Canadian general staff and may I say here, that it is rather un- ique when one considers that this outstanding general, whom we have with us to-dgy, is the only Canadian of the rank of general having the Victoria Cross. During the war he received the Knight Commander of the Bath and Knight Commander of St. Michael and St. George along with French and Belgium honors for services rendered, and when you con- sider that he is a civilian general, his only military training haviig been that received with the Canadian militia, T am sure you will all agree with'me when I say that his record is indeed a glorious one for service, and that we, as citizens of Kingston, welcome him here to-day as one who, when the pages of history are writ- ten, if credit is given, will find a pro- minent place for the geheratiom to (Continued on Page 15.) i was ceived War, a a . hen America's u k ured an, Wi ai ia | we pray that we may nev- jand moderation so ha sh er forget what we owe to them and jand co-operation might be establish- two other battalions from another | | | he holds a high place in the respect | Railway statements are doctored.

London, Nev. 11.--The earnest bope hat the work of the coming armament conference in Washington will be rewarded by success was ea- pressed by King George in the speecn from the throne proroguing parlia- ment yesterday. Anxiety was still being caused by the situation with regard to Ireland, His Majesty said, and the leaders ot all parties were exhorted to patience friendship red. "I have followed with great inter- est the steps taken by the president of the United States to promote the reduction of expendiure on arma- ments--an object which commands the fullest sympathy of my govern- ment," said the king jn his speech. "It was in this spirit that .my gov- ernment gladly accepted the invita- tion extended by the United States government to the conference on lim- itation of armament to be held in Washington. It is my earnest hop? that the labors of the conference will be crowned with success. "The situation in Ireland still causes me great anxiety. I earnest- ly exhort the leaders of all parties in Ireland, and all those in whose hands lies the power to infuence the negotiations and discussions now proceeding, to exercise patience and moderation with the object of estab- lishing friendshhip and co-operation between my people of thal country. "It is my firm belief, as it is my earnest prayer, that with forbear- ance and good will, and with an hon- est resolve to tread the paths of ob- livion and . forgiveness, enduring peace will finally be achieved." Em ---------- FATHER A. J. HANLEY GOING TO DESERONTO As Rector, Succeeding Mgr. Hartigan--The Latter Goes to Prescott. FATHER A. J. HANLEY Monsignor Masterson, who has re- signed in Prescott, is to be succeeded by Monsignor Hartigan, of Deseronto. The likely successor to Monsignor Hartigan is Rev. Father A. J. Han- ley, rector of St. Mary's cathedral, Kingston. While the formal official announcemefit has not been made, it is stated on good authority to the Whig that this has been practically settled ag stated. : . Rev. Father A. J. Hanley was born in Kingston and studied for the priesthood at the Montreal seminary. His first appointment was as curate of St. Michael's church, Belleville, under Monsignor Farrelly. Fifteen years ago he succeeded Father Kehoe as rector of St, Mary's cathedral, As an administrator he has' exhibited conspicuous ability, taking a position of leadership in promoting the wel" fare of educational and charitable in- stitutions in the city, For years he has been chairman of the Roman Catholic separaté school board, in which capacity he has done admirable service, As a priest Father Hanley has the esteem and reverence of all Catholics in the city, and as a man of all classés of citizens. His re- moval from Kingston will be a dis- tinct loss to the community. The name of the new rector/of the cathedral is not announced, but it is likely that one of the priests on the palace staff will be chosen. D."B.

The greatest secrecy is thaintained regard to financial oper- but it is gener- ally understood in the city that a short time ago negotiations were in progress for a Joan from a syndicate of bankers, 'of which the House of Rothschild was a member, but that tnese broke down over the disposi- tion to be made of the money. The Germans wanted it to be placed to their credit in Germany, but the syn- dicate insisted that it should be used in this country. The rise of the mark today reviv- ed these rumors. Without much ap- parent foundation, mark quotations declined heavily, and heavy buying wae in progress, especially for South Americar account. Bankers were no: prepared to reject the loan the- ory entirely, but they were inclined to give more weight to the suggest- ion that the later rally of the mark was due to reports emanating from Berlin that the German Governmnt contemplates taking stepg to restrict speculation in exchange. A"more con- ident feeling prevails generally in the exchange market as the result of the rise of the mark, although a re- action was expectd after. the heavy sinmp of the past few days.

A recent bulletin from 'he census 'de- partment gave St. Boniface a popu- lation of 13,516. This, it was explain- ed today, was due to a tal error.

Ar- thur Balfour on his arrival here is- sued the following statement: "It is more than four years since I left this well-remembered scene and paid farewell to my many friends at Washington. It was a most critical stage in the great war, and notwith- standing that there was nohing more to be feared from the enemy's bat- tleships, the submarine campaige, though its intensity had somewhat diminished, was still most formid- able. In the west and in the east the vietory by land hung in the ba!- ance. America, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, animated by a single spir- ance. America, from the Atlantic to it, was concentrating her vast re- sources and preparing to throw her whole strength into the world strug- gle. We all know the result. It came more completely and more quickly than most of us had dared to hope and exactly three years ago lhe greatest of victories concluded the greatest of wars. "I little thought, when I took leave | on this platform of those from.whom 1 had received such endless kind- pess, that I should again be called upon to revisit it as the representa- tive of Grea: Britain, still less did I think that three years after the arm- istice was signed our whole thougits would still be directed towards com- pleting the work of peace. But so it is. Nothing could less resembla the work that had to be done in 1917 than the work in which we are all concerned in 1921. Yet they are not only intimately connected, but they form part of the same great interna- tional endeavor, and he would be a rash prophet who would say that the | victories of peace are easier of attain- ment than the victories of war. But 'surely we may approach those new labors in a spirit of confidence and high hope. We must not indeed éither ask or expect the impossible, although what is within our reach is worth our utmost efforts, and I cannat doubt that under the wise guidance of your president we shall be fortunate enough to attain it. Mos® happy was the inspiration which moved him to summon this confer- ence. 1 am convinced that all 'hose who are going to meet here in coun- sel and the governments whom they represent, are resolved to the best ot their ability to co-operate with. him in making it a success.

CAMPBELL IS SURE WINNER The People Regard Him As Next Member For King- ston. Johfi M. Campbell is a winner! His name has electrified the people of Kingston. This is due to two things, viz, his personality and the things he represents in the city of Kingston. People are looking to him, as the next member of parliament for Kingston, to start things gping here in a way thy have never gone before, The present is Kingston's opportunity and men and women of all classes are realizing this as each day passes. This opinion was forced upon & representative of the Whig who vis- ited Mr. Campbell's committee rooms Thursday night. There he found the place literally jammed by men, young and old, volunteering their srvices to the organization. There were three ward committee meetings in progress, Sydenham, Victoria and St. Lawrence, and reports indicated that the work was going ahead merrily: More than one hundred of those pre- sent were active workers and they were there promptly on time, while as the time passed the supporters of Campbell crowded the place. "Never in the history of the Liber: al party in Kingston, have I seen suck enthusiasm," said one old campaign er, "There is something unusual taking place among the people of the city now that is going to have a tre mendous effect on the day of the el ection. This is as certain as I aw standing here." Merchants ex-soldiers, workingmen of all classes and'occupations were representd in the throng and the name of ' John M. Campbell has brought them together for one defin- | ite purpose and that is to elect a man who is going to do something for this fold city. wr Campbell for Kingston, It is just the case of the man with a definite objective. That man fis John M. Campbell. He stands for Kingston and the people of Kingston who want something done to which the city has long been entitled, and he is going to get it for them. We are going to send & man to Ot-, tawa who knows what we want in the way of development, both induss trially and along the lines mapped out for our harbor, which will mean placing in circulation here millions ot dollars, the benefit of which will go directly to the working man and indirectly to the merchants and other business men," said a labor man, "We would be doing a stupnd thing, under these circumstances, to sent to Ottawa any man not thor- oughly conversant with our needs and able by remson of his outstand- ing business ability, to bring to us this programme of construction. Mr. Campbell has our fullest confidence says @ | thing he means it, and that he gets what he goes after." % The same eentiment was heard om all sides and it was evident that these who are lining up in such large and | increasing numbers are doing so be- cause Mr, Campbell has a policy eof industrial development for the old | limestone city and his opponent has not, The people are beoming thorough- fy aroused to a deep sense of failure in the past, of the utter fallacy, of el- ecting a man simply because he is known as a "good fellow," and they are determined not to make the mis- take again. John M. Campbell is the | "citizens' candidate," because he re- presents what is in the mind of all citizens, their needs and their aspire ations at the present time, Workers' Enthusiasm, It is perfectly clear that this is the only explanation of the rallies tak- ing place daily in Mr. Campbell's committee rooms, and of the oubursts of enthusiasm that are puiting the "pep" into all of the committees. The Whig representative visited the Liberal Women's committes rooms in the Golden Lion Block and here, too, found that the work of organization had been pushed for- ward to an amazing extent. Every ward commitiee has been made up with a team captain to direct the Every afternoon and evening = is spent by the members in making a house-to-house canvass for Mr, Campbell.
