Kingsion has a personal interest in the death of George NS. Mallgeh, Hamilton, ome of the Stefansson aww, because he spent years in this city as a student of Queen's ig flog. He gradudited in arts and __ science, and wae given and adorned a place in the geological "* for Canada. He had done great for the county, in various ties, because he was most conscien- tious in the discharge of duty. . As an expert, the expert in his elass, 'he went on the ill-fated Arctic - expedition, and it is hoped that though he has passed away leaving ' the country the poorer by his 'death, he has left among the ship's 'ecords 'something that will en- rich 'the literature of Canada.

J When Dritain sounded the note oi warning to Germany--when Sir' Kd- ward Grey counselled the Emperor of Germany to keep off the soil of Bel gium in conformity with the solemn pacs he himself - had sigped--Uanada, equally with Britain, was interested in the result. ' Detiance of that warming meant war and in that war Canada became 1n- volved; and war followed, for the Ger- mans had madé up their minds to defy the world so sure were: they their success. 'Lhe vicissitudes of bat- tfo: have been trying and intense. 1he British have been true to their tradi tions, and it is well that they have. Upon them has fallen the brunt of the fight in France again and again, and before they clear up this conflict, so that out of it lasting peace may be Canada must make her con: of expected, tribution to the army. The Canadian Patriotic Fund is the creation of parhament.

It is expedient that every community shall contribute to the cause to the extent of its ability, and-it can only do this when it understands the plan and purpose of the movement. 'Lhat plan and purpose will be fully ex- plained at the meeting this evening, and to hear it there should be a very large attendance.

Peace, 2 Washington, Sept. 15--It is ru- mored in official circles that a move- ment is on foot to bring about a ecs- sation of hostilities dnd that an fu- 'formal enquiry has been addressed to the German ambassador as to whether or not Germany desires to discuss terms of peace with her foes. No reply has as yet been received from Berlin. . The story is to the effect that Os- | car Straus, former American ambag- sador to Turkey, conceived the iden German ambassador, Count von Bern storff, who gave his consent fo the suggestion of negotiations. . Mr. Straus then cupsulted Secretary of State Bryan, who took ap the matter in an in al manger with the kaiser and Sir Edward Grey, "the British foreign = secrétary. The French afibascador to the United, States was also consulted.
