Yesterday afternoon, Major Frank Chappell, second in command, re- ceived a telegram from Officer Commanding Lieut.-Col. Harry 8. Cameron, Toronto, asking for the views of the officers of the unit in regard to the present crisis. The officers met in the armories later in the afternoon and with practically no discussion, they were unanimous in declaring that they were prepared to carry out any duty which was required of them by the Department of Militia and Defence at this time. A reply to this effect, signed by Captain and Adjutant F. C. Palmer, was telegraphed to Lieut.-Cel.

The (Continued on Page 3) HOLD A MISSION AT R.C. CHURCH Rev. T. J. MacMahon, Regina, Addressing Morning and Evening Congregations Delivering addresses containing stir- ring messages, Rev. Father T. J. Mac- Mahon, of Regina, Sask. a member of the Jesuit Mission, is conducting ser- vices in connection with the Mission at present being held in St. Gregory's Church. Rev. Father MacMahon gave his opening discourse Sunday even- ing and he will continue the services until next Sunday evening. While meetings are held each morning at 5.30 o'clock, the principal gatherings take place in the evening. Special ser- vices for the school children are con- ducted in 'the morning at 11 o'clock and in the afternoon at 3.30 o'clock. Omitted From Peace Treaty Last Sunday evening Father Mac- Mahon spoke on "The Meaning of Man's Existence," particularly emphas- izing that man was created by God for Himself and all other things were created by God for man. This was the only explanation of man's existence that fully satisfied. "Hence we be: long to God and are therefore subject to His laws," he said. In speaking of the folly of individuals or nations which crowd God out of their lives, Father MacMahon declared that the great defect of the Peace Treaty was that all mention of God was kept ont of it deliberately and therefore it did not have God's blessing. "No wonder we have had nothing since but wars and rumors of wars," he averred. "Why was man created?

When his brother, Walter, went to his assistance a few minutes later, he found that life had ebbed out. Deceased had risen early and it is thought he was going into the cellar to procure some coal oil with which to light a fire when he missed his footing and fell. He was removed to his bed- room and Dr. Kaiser was sum- moned. He pronounced death due to concussion of the brain. Deceased was unmarried and is survived by four brothers, Fred, of Elgin Street East, Osh- awa; and Walter, Howard and Herbert, of Darlington, and two sisters, Mrs. James Balson, of Darlington, and Etta at home.

Early this morning, police are posi- tive after 1 o'clock, a burglar or .bur- glars gained entrance to the hard- ware store conducted on King street west by F. Flintoff and Sons and stole a 22 caliber Stevens repeating rifle and 42 boxes of ammunition and approximately £40 in cash Police and members of the firm are at a loss to explain how the intrud- ers gained entrance to she place. At any rate Chief Friend contends the burglary was committed by one who is well acquainted with the sur- roundings. As late as midnight the officer on the beat had tried the rear door of the store. Employees of the store on arriv- ing at work this morning found that the bar on the rear door of the store had been removed. How this was done is a mystery as nothing was forced or broken... There seems to be but two solutions that can be offered and they are that the rear door was carelessly left unbarred or that the burglars had in some man ner procured a key to the front door and had made his exit by the rear one.
