UNITE WITH CANADIANS
ON CENTENARY OF BATTLE,
Big Pageant at Niagara Falls Com
memorates the Event

Niagara Falls, Ont, July 25.-Amer-
leans and Canadians joined today i'm a
commemoration of the battle of Lun-
dy's Lane, which was fought one hum
dred years ago today within earshot OF
the roar of Niagara Falls, and which
has been called by some historians the
battle of Niagara Falls.
The centennial exercises were held
on the battle-ground this afternoon.
Military patriotic and historical socie-
ties were largely represented. The
programme included addresses by rep
resentatives of both Canada and the
Unied States. An exhibition of relics
OF the battle and the decoration of the
monuments and tombs that dot the
battle-ground were also included in the
celebration.
The battle of Lundy's Lane was the
most sanguinary and stubbornly con-
tested engagement fought on Canadian
soil during the War of 1912. After the
battle of Chippewa, which occurred on
July s, 1914, both the Americans and
British received reinforcements. The
American army under Gen. Brown,
moved toward Lundy's Lane, mile
below Niagara Falls. The Americans
British. who were under the command
OF Sir Gordon Drummond and Gen.
RIAL.
The battle began about sunset on
July %. The British had taken up a
strong position at the head of the mar
row road called Lundys Lane, and
from this the American troops tried to
dislodGe them The battle lasted till
midnight, and was the hardest fought
of the whole war. The defenders of
Canada fought with desperation, and,
although outnumbered, they held their
position against repeated assaults.
Col. Winfield Scott, who later was
to command the American army i'm the
war with Mexico, was one of those who
won distinction I'm the battle. Under
cover Of fire by an American battalion.
he led his main column through into
the British rear, and Gen. Rail was
taken prisoner. Col. Scott had two
horses shot from under him and was
himself severely wounded.
Both sides fought until exhausted,
and both claimed victory, but the Am
erican invasion was stopped, and Gen.
Brown who had suffered loss OF $50
men, as compared with Gen. Drum
monds loss OF $50, retreatcd to Chippe-
wa and thence to Fort Erie, where
Gen. Gaines took chief command of
the American troops.

London, July 25.-England's hot spell
has started an agitation for reform in
mems summer dress, but so far none
have had courage To follow the Amer
lean fashion Of appearing in the street
i'm shirt and belt. An Englishman
never dispenses with the coat except
when playing tennis and cricket and
boating on the river. To appear with
out a coat on the links is quite as UNI
pardonable in England as to go coat
less in the street.
MY long suffering brothers." asks
one writer in daily paper. why not

waistcoats and be cool. They do these
things in America, where woman is a
very Independent creature. Why can't
we do them here? Haven't we the
pluck?

continues, "by the sight of gentle

from gauZe to tweed was masked in a

at all feminine; on the contrary, he
looked far moro male than thp moor
