With this condition of affairs the question as to where more men for the navy could be secured loomed large indeed. Men must be secured for new ships. When the war broke out England had a big navy, and she has been straining every nerve since then to make it bigger, so that at no time could its supremacy of the seas be doubted. The navy was as essential to Canada as to Britain. Its loss would mean starvation to England, but it would effect Canada in a deep way by cut- ting off the market for Canada's corn and grain. The Empire without a navy would be cut'in two. More Men Are Needed. At. first men for this service were Secured from the merchantmen of the | £mpire. Then the fishermen were called on. This last reserve was ab- sorbed, and then th authorities had to turn to civilians. A London di- vision of Naval Volunteers was raised by Capt. Guinness. He found that ordinary landsmen, such as a bank clerk or a riveter from the Clyde, could be trained into seamen for the big ships. The difficulty after uni- versal service went in was to get more men. two places remained. Either to take them from the ranks of the army or recruit them in Canada. If untrain- ed men can be secured from here that much more strength will be given the Allies. The quota alloted was not large, being only 5,000, which was indeed a small number compared to the Canadian Expedi- tionary Force. A recruit signing up with this force would go almost immediately to one of the three great English | training centres--Devonport, Chat- am or Portsmouth.

There is always that training going on. There is always- active service men It was seen that the only | . ma-! its not a bal 5 in peace time. For over 1,000 years the British navy has been on active service. The men of the navy have handed down its traditions, and suc- cessors have proven their ability in an emergency to the extent that the traditions have never failed to be in- spiring. A seaman must be resource- ful. The speaker told a story of an assistant secretary of a railway, of which the captain is a director, who enlisted in the navy and proved his worth in an emergency. In a certain action a Zeppelin was sighted flying overhead. He filled the emergency by using a gun to bring it down in spite of the fact that no order had been given him. 2 Another case was where a midship- man had brought a destroyer into port after all the officers had been killed by concussion, He would not say it was less dangerous, but the speaker added that navy work was certainly a most interesting experi- ence. , Why Canada Should Contribute. He dealt with why Canada should contribute to the navy in view of what is bound to come after the war ----a closer unification of the Empire. He shuddered to think of what would happen to Canada without the navy, and for this as a reason this Domin- fon would send more men. He hoped for 2,000 men as soon as possible: In answer to the chairman's ques- tion, he said that the men must be of good character and physioue and sons of natural born British subjects, between the ages of eighteen and thirty. If older they must be pre- pared to go as stokérs. The same rate of pay--$1.10 a day--with sep- aration allowance and patriotic fund grants go to these men as to men who enlist in the C. E. F. Part of the pay is held for them to balance that of the British seamen, who do not receive as much. Lady Guinness' Appeal. Lady Guinness followed and spoke of the historic city of Kingston, and how here years ago the idea of stand- ing together for the Dominion and Empire was conceived by the early settlers It was quite unnecessary to detail all that the Empire owes to the navy. Canada or England had not suffered invasion because of it. The Zeppelin raids and baby-killing campaigns were but a shadow of what the enemy would do if it was possible for him. Belgium was a much smaller couniry than Canada, with about the same population, but it wag unable to completely hold back the hordes of Germans. Canada with such an extensive coast could do less. If there had : been no navy England and Canada would have suf- fered as much as Belgium. It would have been easy for Germany had there been no British fleet to attack the coast of North America. There have been heavy demands for men for that great branch of the service. Canada had been asked for a small quota of 5,000. Td:get that many meant just as much:40 Canada as to 'any country of the Empire. 'Your Canadian soldiers are won- ders," said Lady Guinness. 'Send some more of the same kind to the navy." Col. Evans Speaks. Col. Evans took up the thread of recruiting appeals, showing how the small audience could do a great amount of good by telling their friends in the district of the meeting. He appealed for their support because he was a British subject and also al- most a Kingstonian. Years ago he attended the Royal Military College with "my good friend, Col. Ogilvie here." His grandfather, who was in the British service,' had also been stationed-at Kingsten. He appealed for that 5,000 men from, he said, the lowest motive. A difference of $700,00,000 had been effected in Canada's trade by the British navy, and now over half of that was on our side of the ledger. The meeting has a peculiar gignificance for business men when this was taken into con- sideration. ; There was also the gratitude mo- tion beside the feeling that every- thing should be done to further the cause of liberty. In appealing to the audience to as- sist in the campaign, the speaker took up the excuse that rum is sup- plied men in the navy. The vast ma- jority of men were teetotallers. In regard to the religious aspect, he as- sured them that prayery were said every morning at 9 o'clock, and the very atmosphere breeds reverence for religion. Next of Kin Association. There had been a meeting in the mayor's office to speak of a "next-of- kin" association for Canada. The business men who gathered did not think it advisable for Kingston, but he hoped it would be taken up later. London, Stratford and other places now have such associations. During the evening Miss Foster, Y. W.C.A., sang "Scots Wha Hae." Mrs. Smith recited Miss Machar"s poem, "The Hearts of British Men," and C. B. 8. Harvey sang "The Death of Nelson."
