It was reported that she charged the duke with neglect owing to the fact that she was childless.

Another reason for the presenta- tion was the resignation of Dr. Gor- don from the principaiship. Because of what he was himself and because of his activities on behalf of the uni- versity the trustees desired tbat his portrait should be placed side by side with those of the past heads of Queen's. Tho retiring principal was worthy of all honor. Everything that could have been expécted of "him he had done, and more.

He referred to his pleasant connections with the staff, the students and the trustees, and said it was only by their co-operation that he had Béen able to accomplish what he had as principal. He had been encouraged beyond words by the faith and confidence of the stu- dents. Their intérests had always been uppermost and had weighed the heaviest upon his heart. Although his official connection with Queen's would probably terminate before many 'means, he would - always be glad to do what his strength wou!d permit for Queen's and. her students. He appreciated the thoughtfulness and generosity of the trustees in pre- senting the portrait, and -expressed the hope that it would find a lodging place in the noble hall dedicated to the memory of that peerless college president of Canada, W. F{ Nickle, M.P. W. F. Nickle, in a graphic and en- tertaining manner, took his audience from New York to the battlefront. He told of the precautions that were taken while crossing the ocean to guard against enemy submarines, how the vessel, when it got in the danger zone, followed a zig-zag course, in order that the possibility of a torpedo hitting - it would be greatly lessened. An especially in- teresting part of Mr. Nickle's address was that in which he described his ridé in an aeroplane. The machine, which rose to a height of 1,309 or 1,400 feet, was made to perform various feats while in the air. Jt galloped, tilted, ascended and de- scended, and did many other hair- raising things. in the matter of food at least, inde- pendent.

When he returned to Canada and saw the prosperity and peace he could not help thinking that the Freach front line trenches were the trenches that the friends of Queen's to realize their |, . AFTER THE WAR ede. ' Premier Briand Elucidates--Coun= try Will Instinctively Resume the Motion of Direct Council and. Au thority. Paris, Oct. «19.--The remoulding of French Political methods after the war, resulting in a concentration of government, is predicted by Premier Briand, according to a conversation the Premier has had with his Priends, which is recapitulated in the Figaro by Alfred Capus, the dramatist, and member of the French Academy. M. Campus quotes the Premier as say- ng: "I do not pretend to do more than sketch the main outline, As the result of lessons, which it cannot escape, I believe our country will resume in- stinctively the motion of direct coun- cil and authority. There will be this difference, that while under past re- gimes this authority was imposed upon it historically and by custom, today it is the dountry itself which demands it frous its elected repre- sentatives as well as a more firm and concentrated direction of its business. "You undérstand I am not speak- ing for myself. I.am thinking of the next group of. politicians who will be in power. They are bound to come on the scene with a fresh outlook and, less bound by opinions and doctrines will gubmit themselves more easily to experience. Our present political methods are not at all damaged by the war. They simply require to be revised, remoulded and readapted. 1 am convinced for example, that the spirit born of the war is about to clash with the spirit of parochialism and that it will break it. There will be submitted thé motion of public welfare, which has been lost in what one might call the pulverization of efforts." What will be wanted will be the concentration of efforts in the general interest, "In my opinigs the need of to- morrow is to cotficentrate instead of disperse and you cannot imagine with what good will universal suffrage will accept these principles. I believe it is ready to do so now. Thewar has put it in a state of receptivity and it re- mains only to speak to it clearly and frankly and to awaken it to a realiza- tion of its own condition." = A New Generation, Speaking of the actual situation, Priemer Brand said: r "I simply ask you to consider what has already been gained and what no hazard of war eam take from us. Compare what France and Paris were in July, 1914, with what they are in October, 1916. The truth is that we are not deeadent, but that a new generation has sprung up, more sensible, , to reminders of defeat; more nervous, more im- patient, than those which had pre- ceded it. German insolence had con- tributed a great deal to this state of mind. And as one, nevertheless, dar- ed not to think of war, there re- sulted a continual? conflict between lities.

While visiting the British front Mr, Nickle met Col. Ross, a kindly, diguni- fied, resourceful man. A big officer told the speaker that he didn't know whether Col. Ross knew much about medicine, but he knew how to choose men that did, with the result that the division of which he had charge was the healthiest in the army. r Mr. Nickle referred to the hospital work, and said that everywhere he had gone he had,.heard only good things of Queen's hospital. He told of the efforts that were being made to make sightless and limbless sol- diers useful members of society. 'Canada, he continued, should treat generously the men who had lost their eyes or limbs in battle. These men would never be able to do a full day's Work, but some form of em- ployment should be found for them in order that they might realize that thet lives were not altogether wast- The Navy Visited. has ever been at any epoch.
