VOL. V., No. 34 THE ISLANDER, CUMBERLAND, B.C., SATURDAY, NOV. 14. 1914. KITCHENER SPEAKS AT GUILDHALL London, Nov. 9.—Scenes of ex traordinary enthusiasm were witnessed at the Guildhall tonight on the occasion of the inaugural banquet of the new Lord Mayor of London, Sir Charles Johnston, who succeeds Sir Thomas V. Bowater. Added interest attached to the gathering* by reason of the special circumstances of the times and the presence of the principal Ministers of the Crown responsible for the conduct of the war, and the diplomatic representatives of the Allied nations, The guests, who numbered a thousand, and included the leading statesmen, diplomats and financiers, entered the civic headquarters of London between two lines of khahki-clad riflemen. As each dignitary entered the reception hall he was greeted with rounds of cheers, but the real outbursts were reserved for Premier Asquith, Earl Kitchener, Winston Churchill, the Japanese, Russian and French ambassadors, the Belgian Minister, and the commander of the Canadian contingent. As these entered the hall, which was decorated with the flags and coats of arms of the Allied Nations, the enthusiasm knew no bounds, the entire assembly rising to welcome them. The military men, including Lord Kitchener, wore service uniforms of khaki; the ambassadors and other diplomats were in the brilliant uniforms of their rank. The formal toast the King and the Royal Family having been proposed, ex-Premier Arthur J. Balfour proposed "The Allies." He emphasized the fact that the toast was without precedent, but he added: "We are living in times that are also without precedent, when the whole world is either in arms or in anxious expectation." Confidence in the ultimate success of the Allies' arms was expressed by Earl Kitchener, who pointed out the great issue at stake, the advantage possessed by the Allies in men and material and "in that wonderful spirit which has never understood the meaning of defeat." Lord Kitchener praised the Territorials, particularly the London Scottish and the East Indians, and spoke of the admiration of the British troops for "the glorious French army," and said: "Under the direction of General Joffre, who is not only a great military leader, but a great man, we may confidently rely on the ultimate success of the Allied forces in the western theatre of war." He praised the brilliant leadership of Grand Duke Nicholas, and also the "splendid deeds of the Belgian army," and the gallantry of the Japanese force. Continuing Lord Kitchener said: ' 'The British Empire is now fighting for its existence, and I want every citizen to understand this cardinal fact, for only with a clear conception of the vast importance of the issue at stake can come the great natural moral impulse without which the government's war minister, or even their navies, can do but little. I have no complaint to make whatever about the response to my appeals for men. The progress in the military training pf those who already have enlisted is most remarkable and the country may well be proud of them; but I still want more men, and still more, until the enemy is crushed. Armies cannot be called together as with the magician's wand, and in the process of formation there may have been discomforts and inconveniences in some cases—even downright suffering. I cannot promise that these conditions will wholly cease, but I can give you every assurance that they have greatly diminished. The men who have come forward must remember that they are enduring j for their country's sake, just as are their comrades in the shell (Continued on last Page.)

Six thousand ocean-going Canadian vessels enter and clear at Canadian ports yearly, yet not a single one of them has been captui'ed, nor has any loss been registered as a result of the outbreak of hostilities. Mr. G. J.

Bennett, Calgary's brilliant representative in the *4ouse of Commons, in an address to his constituents on 'Patriotism," struck an imperial note that reflects the sent- ments of the Canadian people toward the Empire. " Without freedom there can be no patriotism," point- •ng out the reason for the determined resistance of the Bel- ;ians to the great German'war machine. "The Belgians allied their freedom too highly to permit the violation of their country, and fought every inch of the ground in order hat they might retain their self-respect. " Did you ever stop to think that the present war is being •.arried on principally by a nation which ha: " Transports carrying 70,000 turbanned Indian princes and their subjects have sailed from India.

The introduction of elaborate destructive machinery with which our enemies are so amply and carefully supplied, has been the subject of much eulogy on the part of the military critics, but it must he remembered that in the matter of preparation those who fix beforehand the date of a war have a considerable advantage over their neighbors. So far as we are concerned we are clearly open to no similar suspicion.

"Our losses in the trenches have been severe, but such casualties have been far from deter ring the British nation from seeing the matter through. They will act rather as an incentive to ; British manhood to prepare them selves to take the place of those who have fallen.'' He concluded: "Although our thoughts are constantly directed toward the troops at the front and the great tasks they have in hand, it is well to remember that -, the enemy will have to reckon I with the forces of the great Do- 1 minions, the vanguards of which ; we already have welcomed in this country in the very fine body of men forming the contingents 1 from Canada and Newfoundland, while from Australia, New Zealand and other parts are coming, in quick succession, soldiers to fight for the Imperial cause. And besides all these, there are training in this country over 1,250,000 men, eagerly waiting for a call to bear their part in the great struggle.
