The huge number of citizens of
Western Ontario as well as other
pants,. of the province certainly
showed their loyalty to Their Mai-
esties on. Tuesday last, by being
present 10 the th'riwing small city,
of Sitaatford, the nearest point of
the Royal Tour to this part of the
Royal Tour to this. part of the Prov-
ince, on Tuesday last.
The railway, used by the majority,
as supposed to be the safer Way to
travel apparently did not expect
,such a large crowd to use the
adequate facilities they are able to
put at .command for such an
occasion, iAs it was the coaches
were crowded with nearly double
their eapaeiby, and mostly with
school children, whose whole -hearted
desire was to see the Their
Majesties, wlucth memory would be
with them for many years to come.
Upon the arrival of the school
children for whom a space ;was

but owing to the length of time

Stratford selirol, of about 'teen age
to a park in the city approximately
a mile from the station. At the
Park they were supposed to have
.had lunch provided Iry therneetve,=.
in •picnic fashion. The children
then marched from the park and
were in position to greet their
Majesties long before the arrival of
the Royal Train. During which
time, th•e star being very hot, many
took sick and were much in need
of water, which was substituted
with 'pop that may have passed
through cold water as 'a . chilling

"PhIslt Aid?' men on ,parade and
on One occasion were asked by a
gentleman who had fallen off the
platform and; landed in the Binders
thereby receiving a few minor
lacerations, asked for aid and one
of the four "first aiders" who ga•th-
ered•around had a bottle of iodine
whidlt was gladly applied, then a
prepared 'bandage was applied
which stayed on about half an ]your.
The crowd, in, choosing what they
thought, a position from which they
could plainly see Their Majesties
spread along the tracks for e
dishn•ce of nearly a mile and many
of those within the city limits• at
the arrival enol of the tracks were
sadly disapointed and their spirits
hung at low ebb when the Royal
couple had not appeared on. the
observation platform int time to be
seen, by them, many of those who
did not get a view were school
children, whose sririts were
dampened even to tears, but had
the King and Queen known they
undoubtedly would have appeared
sooner.

Place my band upon my 'envord' the
moment my adversary threatened

Personally I agree that the British
have came dangerously near the
condition in Europe today, Despite
the appartant crisis, 1 do not think
conscription• necessary; nor do I
believe it to be the solution of the
war enhiStmrent problem. Tradi-
tionally and inherently all British-

detests, end resists any semblance
of force or coeleion. It is repul-
sive to hit sense of freedom of
choice.
In any event it stuldfes the pride
and incentive of any subject and
furnishes a very poor inspirational
background' with which to march in-
to conflict.
On the other hand His R. Ii., is
too useful a personage to sacrifice
to the "God of War." If there is
any manual desire to 3Ril4ze the
versatile executive talents and the
enthusing popularity of our former
monarch, I npopose that the British
Cabinet invest him with the office
of International Peace Epa'.ay, with
his pilyilege the creation and, pro-
pogation of international goodwill.

were a handsome sight not often

Many from here went to London on
Wednesday to see the King and
Queen. A large number of school
children, disappointed at Stratford
were taken and report having an
excellent view of Their Majesties.
Also some of the local citizens went
to Hamilton Wednesday and report
the same.
