DIR. ALFRED THOMPSON Is
 ON HIS WAY TO OTTAWA

Dr. Alfred Thompson, member of parliament from Yukon territory. arrived on the tain from Dawson last night on his way to attend 2 special session of that body which has just been called by Premier Boden. Dr. Thompson will leave on the Mariposa on that Yessel's south- ward sailing at p. ID. today.
 In noting Dr. Thompson's de- parture from the Yukon the Daw- son Daily News of August 11th gives the following interview which a representative of that paper had with him. Said pr. Thompson:
 Our Empire and our Dominion now faca the greatest crisis iR their history, and feel it is my duty to be in Ottawa at the special sesStoR when such momentous Inatters are to be discussed. After tha special session I shall be at liberty. if our country wants me, to render service anywhere desired.
 Premier Borden's policy of pro Yiding three dreadnaughts ia amply justified by the memorable logic of events. This policy Waa only put through the house by amending the rules and adopting the closure 60 vigorous and continuus was the op- position to it by the liberals. It finally passed the house only to be killed in the senate by a senile mac jority of liberal senators. This not withstanding that Mr. Borden brought from Britain a memorandum from the Admiralty board stating an emergency existed and that war was imminent. We know now that the emergency did exist and that war was averted only then to occur now. Canada's warships unfortunately were not built, and Canada was hum iliated in the eyes ot the world by the turndown in the senate; but if Australia and New Zealand are to- day represented on the firing line in the navy of Britain and Canada is not, we still can send a land force that will show the world that we are prepared to remove as far as may be the humiliation which was placed upon us two years ago.
 "The number of volunteers offer ing their services from the Yukon. and the splendid response by the citizens to the call made through the Daughters of the Empire for funds for hospital ship will show Canada that the Yukon is willing to do it's share in the present crisis.
 "As soon as the special session Is over Twill offer my services to the government and will be ready to serve when and where required"

LETTER FROM REV. KERN

In letter under date of the 18th
inst, Rev. ]. A. Kern writes from
Minneapolis of the work which he has
taken up as choirmaster of the pro-
cathedral Of St. Mary at that place
since resigning charge of his church
at Mt. Carmel recently. Before going
to Minneapolis he visited for week
with his brother, Father Alfred Kern,
at Loretto, Mimi, which place is also
the home Of his mother who visited
with him at Mt Carmel for some
length of time during the past sum-
mer. In speaking of the new work
which he has taken up since removing
to Minneapolis, he states that the boy
choir of the cathedral is selected from
upwards of 200 boys who all show
considerable talent. There is also an
adult choir, the material composing
which also promises to place the musi-
cal part of the services of the cathe-
dral in quite high position. In fact
the letter gives the impression that
Father Kern is taking up his work as
choir master with much enthusiasm
and energy. He desires to be most
kindly remembered both to his former
parishioners at Mt. Carmel and his
many Langdon friends, the leaving
behind of whom was occasioned only
by his desire to go to the Twin Cities
in order to receive proper medical
treatment for ,hia NE i'll health, which
