Steele addressed the men exhorting them to do their duty in the greatest danger. After the inspection the men formed into marching order four abreast and followed the Long line of veterans who gathered to escort the Princess j men to the depot. In the ranks of the departing men were 23 members of the veterans club of the City cud the other members were anxious to do them Honor. The Parade As it filed out of the University grounds was led by the Veteran s band assisted by members of the trades and labor band. Four flags two of the Veteran s the French Tricolour and the pm of Brave Belgium were carried at the.

This land has been your Home for some time and i Hope you will All return in Good health and spirits covered with All the credit that la coming to those who Hase r okie their duty.

The fact that you go out to this War voluntarily shows that you Are not soldiers simply for the blood but that you Are going out to the end that the world May have peace. Men today should realize that the Soldier is the last one who really desires but he is1 the one set apart to fight the Battles of his nation. Because you Are volunteers you will go into the. Fight with a proper spirit different from that of the pressed soldiers of some nations. Good Bye and May there be a j Good time for you. Good Patrick was in charge of the marching. Silk Union jacks and emblems of the army arid Navy veterans club waved in the front two lads in uni form of sailors and veterans off h. M. Ships Thistle and were conspicuous at the front carrying standards. They were a Novelty in Winnipeg and for that reason As Well As because of the touch of color they Lent the Parade they Drew much Atten Tion and comment. Everyone of the 200 present were rearing their medals showing that campaigns they had taken Many of them had numerous bars across the ribbon in Honor of each engagement they had seen Many were old Gray haired and feeble they marched with proud step and they tried valiantly to carry their stooping shoulders squarely. The veterans marched from their club on main Street to the University grounds where they met their com rades who had re enlisted for another War. The club band led the Parade playing patriotic airs. They lined up on the South Side of the grounds while the inspection by colonel Steele was taking place. After this event they marched put and Down Broadway to main which Street they followed to the . Depot. Here they lined up on the South Side of the Entrance and stood As their departing friends passed inside to take their train. Tears longing and Hope. Many an old Soldier stood with tears in. His eyes As he watched his friends who were Young and Able to take Active part in fighting. Many a sincere Good Bye and Good Luck was poker. Many a silent hand shake was Given. Many a glance spoke worlds of sorrow longing and Hope. The train was delayed in starting for Over an but most of the veterans stayed at the depot until the smoke of the engine had disappeared then they assembled outside the depot and. Marched Back to their Headquarters. A Large number of them returned sat urday night. After dinner to.

J Lehn Fink 1 and 3 St. Helen Street Montreal came along he took the Chi d from her arms and carried it of the enclosure covering its Little face with kisses. Such things happen in the time of War and woman s tears and broken Homes Are. The Price the country pays for Victory. Many Felt on saturday that it was a bitter Price though the cause was just. Yet they would not have kept the men Back though nature would have its Way and grief would out. Sex Boer among them. It was impossible to find out what pro port on of the Winnipeg conting ent were married Mem. Of the Saska Toon men 13 were married. Of these one a Fine sex Boer who attracted Tention everywhere by reason of his fins physique had left a wife and four children. His name was Peter Keenie. He and others of the Saska Toon Mien were or Phatic in their Declara lion that the City from which they came would Mot let their wives and families want. They were proud of. Their City and believed in its Pride of them. Thousands line platform. In spite of the fact that the c. P. R. Ponce officers prevented those without any direct business with the conting ent from going on to the platform the friends of the volunteers on the plat forms both lower and upper thronged the entire station inside and out. The contingent accompanied by the members of the veterans club swung into the depot through the main in trance and the ranks were broken for a Short while just before 6 p. M. At 6 o clock count de Bury gave instructions to have the men m uttered. The Veteran s band was by them inside the station Gates and was playing popular and military airs. The Roll was called and Only three men were missing. Or Jacques whom it was stated had boarded the first Section and gone on. T. Chisholm and j. F. Read failed to put in an appearance at the last moment. Men from Moose jaw while the Muster Roll of the men from Moose jaw was being called the Moose jaw special arrived and 98 legion of frontiersmen dressed in Khaki Riding reaches shirts and Kaki silk scarves patties and spurs marched Down the depot amid the cheers of the people. This regiment had just got n from Moose jaw. They we re a Fine Hardy looking lot who had volunteered As a body in the Princess Patricia Light infantry. They eneral Ned with the Saskatoon and Winnipeg contingents. The special of 18 pulled into place on the upper platform shortly after .6 o clock and a few minutes later the boys friends see friends go. Not a Man among the Winnipeg contingent but did not have a Friend Down to see him off and there were Many Well known faces among the crowd of volunteers. Here was one Well known Boule Ardler whose face was always to be found at the theat res on the first nights Public dances and All sports. He had thrown in his lot with p. P. L. I. I am a Little soft just now he said but i la soon get As hard As the first week or so will be a but i la soon be As fit As a were men. Who Hall. Been in Good positions Here Many of whom drawing Good salaries. All had thrown them up to answer the Call to the rally round the Flag. The surging masses outside the rails craned their necks to seethe lads who were off to the front and there must have been several Hundred who never even got a glimpse of one of them so heavy was the crowd around the rails. Gradually the Roll was checked Over. Attention form fours right turn Quick and to the stains of the Veteran s band the boys marched Over to the upper level lined out along Side their proper coaches. A Bugle Cal from the legion of frontiersman bugler brought that crowd on the run. Parting cheers. Cheers floated out Over the depot. Got save the King rang out from the band. All was called and the men climbed in. In a few seconds the windows of the coaches were lined with the faces of the volunteers. after cheer came fron them in response to the plaudits of the people who had managed to get on to the upper level As Well As those in the big crowd below. A whistle from the engine was heard then slowly the troop train gathered Way while the windows remained filled with the to i unters who took their last glimpse for some time at old Winnipeg. Pipers band from Calgary. It is the expectation of All these men dust away that As soon As they Are equipped at Ottawa they will proceed to the front and they will thus be he first regiment to get away. Big turnout of veterans. With hearts full to overflowing 200 army and Navy veterans turned out saturday afternoon to say Good Bye to their comrades leaving for the East to join the Princess Patricia regiment. Sir Hugh Macdonald and colonel Al Lan headed the Parade and adjutant continued from Page one Ong the most patriotic of poles the Hope of recovering their natural in dependence was the faintest and. Most visionary. Those who believed that this european War would Spring upon the world Many sensational surprises find Here their first justification. Her re construction of the map of Europe has begun. Expectations that were impossible yesterday Are today defined so clearly that nothing can extinguish them. Probably it is True today As formerly that a absolutely Independent. Poland could not exist Between the empires which have previously amputated it but constituted in the terms of the Imperial proclamation under russian Suzerain Ltd its position and the numbers of its population will inevitably favor Liberal developments and this will react upon the condition of the whole of the russian lands. War s dramatic effects. War has always for Russia pre vented such dramatic necessities As this. The crimean War led to the emancipation of the serbs and japanese War to the establishment 01 the beginning of parliamentary institutions. It was inevitable that when the russian Advance against Austria and Germany began that the polish popu lation from the Baltic to the Carpathian should be seized with some such dramatic inducement to choose their destiny. They Are All not in the same Faith. The poles in East Prussia have been subjected for Twenty years to a brutal systematic Campaign which however has not succeeded either in destroying their social Unity or driving them from the land. In Galicia they have been More fortunate and there fore More Loyal. But in Austria rus Sia and Germany alike a word has been spoke that cannot be recalled and will set millions of hearts and millions of feet tramp. It is one of the great master strokes of history and no Man can say where and when its reverberations will cease. Joy of Paris poles. Unspeakable Joy reigned this even ing in the polish Colony in Paris. Fam ily groups gathered to celebrate the Good news while Many pious polish women went to their Mission Church to off up prayers of thanksgiving. Mgr Leon Postawka the Veteran pre late who is at the head of the polish Mission was overcome by emotion when news of the glad tidings was shown to Hihi in print by a correspondent. He exclaimed magnificent i am Over whelmed with Joy. For so Many years we have prayed and. Hoped for this news and now that it has come it dates us. ,1 am no longer a Young Man hut i preached this morning to our Young men and urged them to go Forward into the French fighting line against Germany s barbarism. They needed Little urging and have All volunteered with the. Same deliberate Calm that imbued me when forty four years ago this very Day i volunteered for France myself against the same lord is with the and oppressed and it is his voice that dictated to emperor Nicholas the Mani festo just issued to the polish nation.1 Czar s sincerity. The aged ecclesiastic s or. Joseph Landau a pole who served in the French army said1 we dreamed and hoped for the recognition of Poland our hearts today Are filled with Joy and gratitude towards god Aind the Czar. By its exalted language and self evident sincerity the proclamation of the grand Duke Nicholas has intensified our happiness. Many of us although men have wept today but our. Tears were of Joy. Our hearts Are so overfilled with Joyful emotion at., the profound changes brought by i whirly gig s of time that we cannot at present express our feelings coherently a for years the poles in Paris have patiently Long As we live Poland. Cannot die today this an them is being repeated on bended Knees throughout the world and they grate fully realize that it the England s co operation and Russia that has enabled to take this Gen Erous initiative. I am convinced that when the news of the Czar s proclamation filters through the parts of Poland now dominated by Germany and Austria the poles in those countries will Rise As one Man and will though unprovided with modern attack the foreign tyrants. There Are Many thousands of poles in England and in Amer Ica. They will All make a supreme Effort to return to the european continent and do their shale towards the accomplishment of Poland s libera St. Petersburg aug.
