HONOR TO BRITISH GENERAL
People Of BrockviIIe, Ont. Laud the
SIS Memory Of Commander Who Won
Detroit In War Of 1912.

BrockvilIe, Ont.-A monument in
honor of the memory OF Gen. Sir
Isaac Brock, who was in command OF
the Canadian forces against the Amer
leans in the war Of 1912, was unveiled
in this city with interesting but mod
est ceremonies. The local chapter OF
the Daughters of the Empire, to whose
efforts the erection Of the monument
is due, was in charge of the ceremo-
MES. The principal address was de.
livered by Col. Samuel Hughes, the
Canadian minister Of militia and de-
Tense. j y #
The date for the unwilling OF the
memorial was appropriately chosen,
since 1t was just 100 years; since the
surrender OF Detroit. with which
event the name of General Brock IL
most closely associated in American
history. 81 A.
General Brock was born In the
island of Guernsey in 1853 and had
a brilliant military career in the Brit
ish service before he was sent to Can
ada. He was made a knight OF the
Bath for his victory at Detroit, but
he survived his honors less than two
months. y, 5sts
