Nich- olson, Major W. E. Kidd and Hon. W. F. Nickle. The sixth anniversary of the signing of the armistice which brought the Great War to a close was fittingly ce- lebrated on Tuesday evening when a memorial service, under the direction of the Kingston Branch of the Great War Veterans Association, was held in the city's Memorial hall. An audi- ence, which numbered about one thou- sand, people, gathered to pay tribute to the men and women who paid the supreme sacrifice, and to those who in any measure contributed to the suc- cess of the greatest war ever fought. It is indeed fitting that services such as this should be held in the memorial hall, as the surroundings in this beau- tiful auditorium go towards making the service more impressive. The beau- tiful windows, which depict the part that Canadians played in the Great War, make those who view these me- morials realize what Canadians did during those four dreadful years, "to. wards making the world safe for de- mocracy." The Hon. W. F. Nickle, M.P.P, who acted as chairman, gave a very inspiring address, in which he told of the valor of the Canadian soldier in action, and also paid homage to the men who gave their lives, and to those who have come home disabled. Capt. the Rev. Father Nicholson, padre of the Third Canadian Division, who was the first speaker of the even- ing, gave a very impressive address and urged the point of union, if we are to accomplish what these brave soldiers sacrificed their lives for. Rev. W. E. Kidd, who was padre of the 21st Canadian Infantry Battalion, { paid a glowing tribute to the attain- | ments of the Canadian troops, and re- ferred to the price of fifty thousand dead which Canada contributed, in at- taining her seat at the table of the na- tions of the world. Rev. J. S. La Flair opened the ser- vice with prayer. The band of the Royal . Canadian Horse Artillery, under the leadership of Captain Alfred Light, in addition to playing for the singing, rendered a number of selections which were very WHILE SUPPLY LASTS ONLY .. pg Branigan's D 208 PRINCESS ST.

Kipling's "Recessional Hymn," played by this band of musicians, fol- lowed by "Benedictus," "Ded March" and the "Last Post," were rendered with much feeling and reverence. A vocal solo, "In Flanders' Fields," by Mrs. E. Treneer, and also "Christ in Flanders' Fields," by James Mar- shall, were greatly appreciated. These memorial services have been held in Kingston each year since the conclusion of the war, and it is hoped that they will be continued for years to eome, as it is the one occasion dur- ing each twelve months upon which the citizens of Kingston can gather to- gether and pay tribute to the men-who | gave their all during the Great War. ' Rev. Father Nicholson. The Hon. W. F. Nickle, when intro- fl] ducing Rev. Father Nicholson, stated il | that he needed no introduction to. a ll Kingston audience, as all were aware of the excellent service which he ren- ll dered during the period of the war. ll When rising to speak, Father Nichol- Hl son thanked the chairman for his kind- | 1y reference to him. Father Nicholson said that an occasion of this kind was to pay their gra. died that ers that their glory survives. We are a great people, and the graves of the of France and said he, "The dead have bequeathed to us'? Father Nich- olson said, "Let us commemorate the glorious memory of those who paid but do not for- get those who have returned, in many 'cases, maimed for life." Many went over as mere fats, and il | came back as men, and physically and mentally the strain has told on them all. He urged upon his hearers to do everything possible to assist these war- riors. Hon, W. F. Nickle. . Mr. Nickle, when opening his ad- dress, stated that it was not'the wish of those who had gathered in this hall to be entertained they came in a spirit of reverence and thanksgiving to the men who gave, their lives. He spoke hen the news came that 'by Britain and British gotten along alright, but now that the patriotic fund was at an would probably be up against it this winter, Major W. E. Kidd. Major W. E. Kidd, who during the period of the war served in the front line trenches with the 21st Battalion, gave an admirable address. During the course of his remarks he stated that the men who served could not forget those days as these things will be- come history which the children will study. He referred to the youth of the land as the receivers of a legacy which was purchased with the lives of the men we honor tonight. The cost of Canadian Empire had been purchased with fifty thousand lives which had been given on the battle field of France and Belgiom. : T.
