GOD SAVE TIIE KING

To-day throughout the British F.mpire the birthday

of His Majesty King George the Fifth will be loyully and lovingly commemorated. Owing to the \var the celebration will be on a less elaborate scale than has been the custom under happier conditions, but the con- ditions which \vould make ally elaborate dclnonstra- tion inappropriate will only intensify the loyalty and the patriotism of every British subject and give a newer and deeper meaning to the prayer, God Save the King. 'i`he tiring of the usual royal salutes will'be dispensedwith as has been the case ill all imperial ce- lebrations since the war began. The stores will be open and business generally will be as usual with the exception of the closing of banks and public offices.

I\'ing iieorge is fifty one years old to-day. It has

been his lot to connnand the army _and the navy of Great Britain in the greatest war ill the history of the world and the prayer of every loyal British subject is that he shall live for lnany years after the greatest victory in the history of the world has been celebra- ted.

\\'hile the war is no less sanguinary than it was a

year ago, while thousands of lives are being snufled out almost daily there are many evidences of the ap- proaching end. Germany is being slowly but surely hennned ill by a ring of steel that 'cannot bc broken; distress and want of a kind calculated to make the (fiernian victims of lnilitarism realize the dcvelishness of the system that has brought this curse upon them, are becoming evident throughout the German Em- pire; tlle terrible waste of life at’ Verdun for which there could be no military advantage to the Germans even if they should succeed in capturing the position, is no\v being realized not only by the German soldiers but by the (iernlan people at large. All these and the ever increasing strength and effectiveness of the En- tente .'\llics point to an end in the not distant future and it is reasonable to hope that before we again have the pleasure of commemorating the King`s birthday we shall have the privilege of celebrating a greater day even than the birthday of our much loved King- the day when Peace shall be declared, the birthday of a world newborn, a world from which the possibility of a universal shambles like the present will have been banished forever. l"or this day \ve pray and none the less fervently as we pray God Save the King.

SUNDAY SCHOOL CENTENNIAL

'l`lle amliversary of the opening ol' the \\`esleya1

Methodist Sunday School in (_`harlottctown one lmn- drcd years ago, will be observed by special appropriate services tolnorrow in the First i\Ieth`odist Church and in the Heartz .\lemoriai Hall. It may be interesting to know that this was the first Sunday School of any denomination organized in Prince lidward Island. it came into existence in the old \\"esleyan Chapel that stood on Iiiclnnond Street west, below the Royal Bank corner. This was just thirty-five years after Robert Raikes had started the first Sunday School in the world. liight years later in August, |824, St. Pauls Church Sunday School was formed in thc first Episco- pal church, that stood on Queen Square near tho site of the present l"ost Office building. Since that time Stnlday Scllools of every denomination df Christians, for the moral and spiritual training of the rising ge- neration, llavc come into existence all over this land, and faithful teachers arc always found willing to carry on this noble work.

ln connection with the celebration of the one hun-N

dredth anniversary.tomorro\v special sermons will be preached in the First l\lethodist Church morning alld

evening by the Rev. W. H. l$arraclougll,.li. A., the eloquent Pastor of Centenary Church, bt. john, New

special music has been procured for the occasion. ln the afternoon at 2.30 o'c_l0ck a special Centenary Ser- vice will be held in the Heart: Memorial Hall. At this meeting, in addition to short addresses by the Rev. Mr. Barraclough and others, in which reference wi-ll be made to the forma_tion'and history oi' the School, an interesting programme consisting of singing and reci- tations by the younger scholars df the School, will be given. `_ `

This School that has been in operation without in-

terruption since 1816 and now celebrating its nataldday is to be congratulated upon its marked successes dur- ing the century that has just closed upon it. It has grown with the years and advanced with the times, and the institution that had its birth in an unfinished pri- mitive “Meeting housc" no\v has its home in a beauti- fully finished building, fully equipped with every mo- dern eonticnience for its work provided bythe muni- ficence of one of its members who through many years of his long life attended the School both as a scholar and teacher.

' THE RETREAT BEGUN

There was a significant incident before the colli-

lnission enquiring into the work of the Canadian Shell Commitece on Tuesday, says the Montreal Gazette. Major-(ieneral Hughes had submitted a statement of his connection with the Shell Connnittee. \Vhat he said was in accord with what had been said by Brig- adier-General Bertram, by Lieutenant-Colonel Carne- gie, by Mr. David Carnegie and by any‘who could speak with authority of the work of the committee. The evidence has been reported with unusual fulness. Any who had the desire had the opportunity of under- standing its mcaning and effect. The committee sought by the means at its command to secure for the British Government, whose agent it was, supplies of required material as rapidly as possible and at moderate prices; and it did what it sought to do. Major-General Hughes, though a member of the connnittee and in a \vay responsible for its being established, did not inter- fere with its work in lettillg contracts. The nlore he was questioned the clearer was this made. Neither the doeuments stolen from the Shell Committce’s offices, nor those which may have been prepared for use before the colnmission, changed the impression created. Mr. Helhnuth, one of the counsel before the conunission, before the cross-examination of - Major-Gelleml liughes began, pointed out that the gravalnen of the Kyte charges was that Col. Allison, through his al- leged influence with the 1\Iinister of Militia had been able to obtain commissions upon certain contracts he had lllade. Major-General Hughes had denied that Allison, so far as he was aware, had obtained any com- mission on goods _supplied for Canada. Mr. Hollmuth, therefore, proposed, he said, to determine whether Major-General I-lughes knew that what had been said was correct. The report of the proceedings tells the rest:

"l\ir. Carvell said there was a lot of tnisapprehen-

sion as to .\ir. K_vte`s statements in the House. Ile

I lad not made any statement such as attributed to him

ly .\lr. l'lelhnut_h. lie had never Stated that Cieilérttl Hughes had sent Col. Allison down to make contracts for fuses in New York.

“Sir William Meredith poillted otlt that witnesses

had been called by l\Ir. li. F. B. _lohnston for the pur-

.nose of showing that pressure had been brought to bear

by the Minister upon the Shell Committee to induce it to make contracts it should not have made. That had been the nattire of Mr. Lloyd Harris’ evidence. Sir .Willianl also poillt_ed otlt tllat the scope of the inquiry was wider that l\lr. Kyte's statements.

"l\Ir. Cervell said that l\ir. Kyte had made no

charges at all, properly speaking. llc had simply made certain statements as a menlber of Parliament."

The retreat has begtln. Unless Mr. Kyte’s state-

ment ill the llouse of Commons carried or implied a charge of \vrong-doillg or incapacity on the part of Major-(`ieneral 1-lughcs and of the Shell Committee there would have been no ground for enquiry; there would have been no partizan hullaballo throughout the country, no use of stolcll documents, no attempt to create 3 scandal and by ruining Majol'-Celleral llughcs

_ io destroy the Government of which he. is a member.
