Monument.
AN IMMENSE CROWD-
-A MA GNIFICENT ADDRESS-
-A SUMPTUOUS BANQUET
In spite.' of the stormy weather an
Friday afterneonlast an. immense num-
ber of people gathered in, Exeter to
witness the unveiling of the Memorial
Monument to the fallen heroes of
Usborne, Exeter and the front of
Stephen.
The memorial is a combination of
Mutt is usually understood by the
word monument, ata a fountain, the
base being in the form of a basin and
the top a heavy shaft, and over all a
dove, the bird of peace (although many
people 4uestxon whether it is a dove),
The rtt,emoriel is of grey Canadian
granite, with the names of the fallen
herioes of the Great War engraved
thereon.
After^ two or three selection by the
Band, and the National Anthem by
the school children, Reeve Beavers
introduced Capt. T. F. Best of Harz-
iltou, wlio gave a short, approprry;e
address and unveiled the monument by
pullets; the rope which loosened the
vela -a large Union Jack.
Adjournment was.then, made to the
Opera House, which was filled to ov-
erfJ wing -many being tumble to gain.

Reeve ,Beavers occupied the chair
and on, the platform were the. Council
Boards and resident and neighboring
mihtstert
The cbairmantti bisopening remarks
expressed pleasure that so many peo-
ple hats come out to show that they
had not forgotten the .fallen; heroes.
He reviewed the steps taken to se-
cure the memorial, and said that :any
faults (and he had heard some) that
might be found with it he reit sure
would be remedied by the. makers,
Dr, Collie Fletcher complimented the
muntiklxties on erecting this monu-
ment ta,help to keep in, mind what the
boys had done to save our liberteest,
The memorial, he said, will be an in-
sseratioe to do as the soldiers have
done .:in lease of needa It not only
commemorates the past but gives as-
surance for the future.
Capt. /Best, veteran. of the South
African war and the Great War, gave•
an admirable address on, "Lest we
Forget,' He '
very es of imbemesiam,b

them well. His stories were good. A

been speaking to him before, and the
:soldier was a glorious fellow as he
went off to war, ,but itis easy, to for-
get 'both God and ,the soldier when
pePaice is declared. In, a general way
we would like to forget about the
war but there are ,things we must not
forget. The night before the Battie
of the Marne England was oa her
knees ass never before.. England knew
the .stress, We had no chance of
winning during the first ttwa yearsa
No military man can explain why we
did not lose in the firsi,,three .months.
The Bantle of the Marne was the
miracle of the war. The hand of God
was cin that battles Canada did not
awakened until a year before, the close
of the war when Haig said we are
fighting with lour backs to the wags',
The result was prayer and a spirit ,of
sacrifice; but something happened on
Armistice Day, We began to forget
God and the soldiers, and it becomes

diodge+ Ile paid high tribute to 'the
British Navy that never allowed amen
or a transport to be ,last on the 'way
over. He spoke in appreciation of
what the Unted States had done, but
some of the magazines, he said, made
hint ,smile. Also the work of the
Brsti"sit Meecha/ttt Marine ;nest never

the .Belgivans, the magnificent .spirit ,orf
the French, England's "comtemptiibl/e
little einny'' that lost .everything but
their morale. Thesie we must never

honor them, - We appreciate them, but
if we ,thunk that is a,1,1; that is. 'warning
