SIR WILFRED LAURIER, Leader of the Opposition. "We may differ as to methods;" Sir Wilfred exclaimed "We have our dif- ferences and our disagreements but here and now I give the assurance that in what has been done and what remains to be done we shall take no ex caption or offer no criticism so lung as there is danger at the front. We pro. poses to let the friends and the foes of Britain know that a united Canada stands with the mother country." British Responeibilties And 'Sacrifices "We are British subjects and today we are face to face with the conse. quences which are involved in that proud fact. Long we have enjoyed the benefits of our British citzeuship; today it is our duty and our privilege to accept its responsibilities yes and its sacrifices." Britain Engaged Today In No Ordin- ary Contest. 'Britain today is not engaged in an ordinary contest. The war in which she is engaged will in all probability: nay in alsolute certainly stagger the world with its magnitude and its horror. But the war in which she is engaged is for as noble a cause as ever impelled a nation to risk her all upon the arbitrament of the sword. That is no longer a question which is at issue the judging of the world has already pronounced'. upon that point. 1 speak not only of those nations which are en gaged in this war with Britain but of nations which stand neutral which are not engaged on one side or on the oth (ter in this struggle. ; Take the testi- mony of the ablest men of those .na tions and that testimony is unani• mous it is without dissenting voice tbat today theallied nations are fight ing for freedoagainst oppression for democracy against autocracy of civili zation against the reversion tothat barbarism in which the eupreme, law the only law, is law of might. (Pro- longed cheering.) •• iI • The New Ea, : • : Clinton, Ont., • •, t • • • The Silver Lining of Darkest Cloud. "Nothing can be:: truer: than the words which are reported to have been uttered by a German soldier made pris oner in Belgium, that this war is not a war of,the people, So if there is. a silver 'lining to this darkest cloud which now over - hangings Europe it is that as a result and consequence of this war the Ger- man people will take the determina- tion to put an end torever to this vera onal imperialism.and; .to make it i m possible forever afterward for one man to throw millions of tbe human :race into all the horrors of modern. warfare. "Sir, there is in this an inepiration, and the hope is not a vagne one, that through painful war the,Britieh Em. pire will emerge with a new bond of union the pride of all its citzens the, living lesson to other nations." SIR ROBERT BORDEN. P. emeir. "In England as in Canada all had joined as one man in the face of the Empire's peril. In England the men ,who had been most earnest for peace had united with all the citizens m up holding the. hands of, the Government and maintaining the intergity and duty: of the Empire, Britain had sought peace not war. The efforts of the Government - to maintain peace had gone to every point save loss of honor. - Britain Could Not Stand. By. "I cannot resists the conclusions that it was the deliberate intention of the German Government formed many years ago to violate the neutral- ity of Belgium if war with France should break out.; In honor Great Britain could not stand by and witness this breach of treaty obligations and the jeopardizing of. Belgian Indepen deuce. Canadians Look Forth With Steadfast Eyes. "The leader of the Opposition," con eluded the Premier In a peroration. marked by evidence of deep feeling "has alluded to the uncertainty "of hu man events and particularly events such as are before us in the great' war. which now confronts the Empire and our own people. True the future'is shrouded in uncertainly but I believe that the people of Canada took forth upon it with steadfast eyes. But let me say that while we are now upborne by the exaltation and entbusiabm which come in the first days of a na tional crisis so great that it moves the hearts of all the men we must not for get that days may come when our pa tience our endurance and our fortitude may be tried to the upmost. In those days let us see to it that no heart. grows faint and .that no. courage be found ' wanting." "With Firm Hearts Abide The. Event." "It is not fitting that I should pro. long this debate. In the awful dawn of the greatest war the world has ever known, in the hour: when, peril ,con fronts :us such as this Empire has not faced for a hundred years, every vain or unnecessary word seems a discord. As to our'duty all are agreed,, east and west, and shoulder to shoulder. with Great ^ Britain and the other British dominions in` this gnarrel. And that duty we shall not fail to fulfil as the honor of Canada de monde. Not for love of battle, not for lust of conquest, not for greed for po missions but for the honor to maintain solemn pledges, to uphold principles of liberty to withstand forces that would convert the world into an armed camp yes in the very name of the peace that we sought at any cost, save that of dishonor, we have . entered into this war and while gravely conscious of the tremendous issues involved and of all the soariflees that they may entail, do not shrink from them, but with firm hearts we abide the event," (Prolong ed applause.)

You see that young Italian looking fellow with a striped waistcoat and felt hat with a fancy band? Well, when I got through counting the money you paid me I turned suddenly and. caught the. fellow looking at the bills with a coy. etous expression on bis face. Yon know that there are a lot of robberies committed by persons seeing some one draw money from a bank" "Why don't you call a policeman to nee you home or wherever you are going?" "Because I don't believe I shall die till my time comes, and when it; does. nothing can save me." The disappearance of Stephen Crocks ford was one of the great mysteries of the close of the nineteenth century. The police had a very strong clew, but were unable to follow it. A bank clerk gave them the incident that has been told above, and they did not doubt that the Italian had murdered Crockford, but when or where or what had been done with the body they failed to discover. The only oth- er clew in the matter was furnished by Mrs. Crockford. Her husband when coming home from thecityoften made a short cut over a path through a wood She searched the wood and' in a part so thick that few ever went ' into it she found the remains of a fire, and some wood corded near had visi- bly .diminished. In the ashes she found some bits of bone and burned flesh. She picked up also an unburn- ed piece of a man's cuff. This she took to a laundry where her husband was used to having his collars and cuffs laundered, and the mark on it was identified as having been put on a cuff belonging to the missing man. This, indicating that the body had been burned in the thicket, ended the infor- mation concerning the disposition of Mr. Crocitford's body. The police, get- ting no further clew, gave up the case. Crockford was financial man for" Englehart & -Co., importers : of Japa• nese goods. Mrs. Crockford after her husband's disappearance went to the head of the firm and asked for a posi- tion by which she might support ber- self. She was taken into his private office, where she was informed that a sum was missing from the firm's cash andher er h usband was av suspected of hav- ing p ing taken It He bad been seen a day or two before his "disappearance in company with a blond woman not his wife.
