Special music was rendered and Ven. Archdeacon Ingles preached splendid sermons, laying special emphasis on the importance of the service of praise.

After this solo, J. E. Morrison recitation and an address of ap- Preciation from the people to the Pastor of the church. This address was accompanied by the presenting of a fine silk hat to of flowers to Mrs. Owen. This was a genuine surprise, but very much appreciated by the pastor and his wife, Mr. Owen finding it difficult to put his emotions and thanks into words. The evening closed with re. in er with other goods, and when Mr, Williamson, the agent, had occasion to go out to the freight shed some time later he noticed smoke issuing from the box and promptly took action to put the fire out.

They would be caught in one night or be in Holand. The - tier was well guarded. Sentries were at all crossroads and right across the country was a most savage breed of hedge interlaced with wire. These were simply boundaries for orchards and fields, but they delayed progress greatly, "We walked for seven hours and we knew we must be near the frontier where there were three lines of guards," con- tinued the Iecturer. "The night was pitch-black and suddenly about 20 yards away we saw a small fire lighted by a sentry. We walked arm in arm in order not to lose each other. We soon found we were going to be caught by the dawn and we found we were on a main road, so we crawled into-a ditch. We were nat sure just on whieh side wa were, We waited there six hours and then went cautiously on.

Their first friends were two Austrian girls and their mother who did all they could for them, gave them food and sent word to the Consul-General. Finally they reached The Hague where spent two goad weel Reaching England they were re-- ceived by the King, as all es. caped officers were. Coneluding his address, Lieut. Robinson stirred his audience deeply when he told of the ones who. were not fortunate enough to escape and asked if the people realized that the prisoners of war are among the greatest heroes of the war, "Everyone knows the record of the Can- adian Corps, il speaks for itself, but there aren't many who will speak about the prisoners of war, They themselves would sooner send back good news to buck up the people at home. But they were exiles, dealt with by a merciless pack of swine, they shared a heartbreaking existence for the Germans did everything fo break their spirits, They took the offensive spirit with them and they never lost it. The lot of the officers improved slightly but for the men it got steadily worse, Can you imagine them working in salt mines 12 to 14 hours a day, beaten there and beaten back, strung up by the wrists with their feet just touching the ground for. trivial offences? These things did actually hap- pen, but our men "stuck it." And yet some will say,-"Deal gener. ously with the Germans in the Peace Treaty." | oausnenininmenaiieninmmsiaeeet eee POOLE & PEARCE THE BARRIE DAIRY The Home of Pure Milk » If :Service, Cleanliness and ai 7172 Quality Count Phone
