TUESDAY, JULY 4, 1922, / KINGSTON GIVES WELCOME T0 WATERTONN VETERANS Britishers From Popular Am- erican City Paid a Visit Here Saturday. The British Great War Veter of Watertown, N.Y., held their ex sion to this city on Saturday in spite of the inclement weather, and through the splendid co-operation nt the local branch, G.W V.A., at least Some part of the expected enjoyment was derived from the visit. Ad-| dresses of welcome, a visit to the main points of Interest in the city, | Including the historic Memorial Hall | in the city buldings, a dance in the | G.W.V.A. dub-rooms, and finally a | ball game between the Watertown Knights of Columbus and Kingston, | were the features of the entertajn- | ment possible in spite of the rain. The excursion party arrived on the steamer Waubic about 12.30 p.m. and the visitors, who numbered. around two hundred, were met ar the wharf by Dr. D. A. Volume, president of the local GW. V. a. members of the Veterans' exacutive, Ex-Mayor H. C Nickle, and other prominent citizens. The pipe bana of the Princess of Wales' Own Regt- ment was also on hand to greet tne American returned soldiers and thelr friends, and the pipers led the party to the Memorial Hall, Arrived at the hall, Dr Voluma gave a very cordial welcome to the visitors, and in his address he ex- pressed regret that much of the programme planned for the Aay, would be curtailed on account of tha rain. He remarked concerning the appropriate setting for a welcome to returned soldiers, as this hall, ana the memorial windows, was a tribute to the Kingston soldiers who haa paid the sypreme sacrifice during the Great War. He welcomed the party on behalf of the local brancn, G.W.V.A., and assured his audience that a good time would be spent by all in spite of the unfortunate wea- ther. Dr. Volume then sketched tho programme for the afternoon, and invited one and all to visit the club- ins rooms of the veterans, where danc- ing would be held, and tea served by the ladies - of George Richardson Chapter, 1.0.D.E. ' Brig.-Generzl Hill exwressed nis pleasure at being asked to welcome the party on behalf of Kingston mili tary headquarters, that no more fitting pl gathering could be : selected. Canadian and American returned soldiers were brothers in the truest sense of the word, not only due 10 the fact that their ancestry was the same, but because they had foughr side by side during the recent great conflict.
