! drawing back in alright at first at
| the appearance, sound and deadly eff
/ fectiveness Of the matchlocks of the
French, the like of which they had
/ never dreamed.
Other panoramic pictures will illus
trate some of the great religious events
| which are closely interviewer in the
history making epochs of Canada in
general and Quebec in particular. The
/ Ursuline nuns will arrive and receive
] welcome from the rejoicing populace,
led by General Montgomery, knight of
Malta. The Jesuit fathers also have
their place in the scenes. Dollard des
i Ormeaux, the explorer and fighter,
and his sixteen heroes of the Long
| Sault form the central figures of the
/ ninth tableau. The celebrated de
i nouement in the council chamber Of
the Chateau st. Louis has not been
| overlooked. Frontenac will receive the
| messenger from Sir William Phipps,
! forces, bearing a demand to surrender
| Quebec. Frontenac will repeat the IA
nous answer, Tell your master to ex-
! pect a reply from the mouth of my

The magnitude and scope Of the ter
centenary celebration, the transatlan-
tic voyage of the heir to the British
throne and of other dignitaries to take
part in it and the keen general inter
est taken in it by great nations indi-
cate that the anniversary commem-
Grated has unusual significance, an
import far deeper than merely nom-
inal consideration would reveal. And
such is really the fact. The history
Of Quebec is largely the history Of
Canada. The city, its founders and
! developers have welded an influence
in international affairs that they did
not reckon. that in their times they
could not estimate. Some keen writer's
there are who aver that in American
history Quebec should rank with
Jamestown and Plymouth in impor-
lance as birthplace Of American lib
critics, owing presumably to the pow
erful influence exerted from Quebec
/ prior to the Revolution in territory
now included in the United States.
Quebec's visitors will be well cared
for. A "city Of tents" with accommo-
dations for $4,000 people, will supple
ment the preparations made by hotel
and boarding house keepers.

of the surrounding territory. This ac-
counts for the fact that Quebec has
bsen under siege or prolonged and con.
certed attack no less than five times

/ some of the famous war towns Of con.
| tinental Europe. For over a century
Quebec was the center Of military op-
erations Of France and England in the
