BERLIN EXPECTED TO

COPENHAGEN. via London, May
S.-There is still talk in Berlin, ac-
cording 10 adviCes received here,
that Germany will make new peace
proposals this week. There is no
definite basis apparently for the
rumors. though the cOnvocation Of
the bundescrat committee on for

Canadian Officer
Tells War Stories
To c. of c. Men

IF you can't give yourself, give
your money; if you can't give money
then do something for nothing"
It was with this appeal that Capt.
Cornelius Kennedy, Of the Canadian
army. addressed members of the
Chamber of Commerce and their
friends last evening at the club house
on w. Colfax av. He had a number
of interesting souvenirs of his stay
in the trenches, among which was a
gas mask, such as is used by the
German army i'm following up a gas
attack.
Recuperatcs From Wounds.
Capt Kennedy is on leave of alb
sence. having been wounded some
time ago and sent home to recuper-
ate. He has been in this country for
the past two weeks. and has spent
several days at Culver Military acad-
envy.
The plea to the young men of
America 10 enlist was brought out
forcibly by the use of the quotation,
Greater love hath no man than
this. that he lay down his life for
his friend" The captain continued
TO the effect that IF the other fellow
Will do that much for you, you should
be willing to do it also"
Many instances of the German
atrocities were brought out in Ken
nedys talk, and in regard to them
he said That's German kulture.-
spelled with a X They can't spell it
with a c because Britain holds the
sea "
Some of the more humorous incl
dents connected with life in the
trenches were related by the speak
er He told of one chap who had
captured a number of cockroaches,
with which the trenches were in
tested, and stuffed the insects into a
cordite shell. which he subsequently
fred over into the German lines.
When wounded Return.
Wait till the wounde, begin to
return 10 New York" said Kennedy.
Not one. or two, or five, or twenty,
but by the thousands. Then a flame
will sweep over America, and I trem-
BILE to think of the result to those
who are responsible for it,"
In concluding, the speaker reiter-
ated his appeal for enlistment, and
urged those who remain at home to
send letters and gifts. There
nothing so good 10 see in the
trenches as a fellow who has per-
haps four or five letters from home.
But is is sad to see another soldier
who has none. and is watching his
comrades enjoyment" he said.
You can do your share even if YOU
aren't able to go 10 the front

lighting line as soon as he is declared

CHAPTER ~.

1t was. after all, the assistant rector
of Saint Jude's who came up the hill
that hot August day The news Of old
Hllary's death had come Gown fro,
the city On an early train. The rector
was away on his deferred fishing trip
where, having exchanged his clerical
collar for none at all and having bis.
tered the end of his ecclesiastical nose
he was quite happy
The assistant, Mr.. Ward, whisted rs
he climbed the HILL As the hill was
steep. this proved two thngs--his
youth, and his lightness Of heart. True
old Hilary Kingston was dead. and vic.
lently done to death. But to Mr.. Ward
death was but the gateway to Il larger
life; and only very sad in the young
who have not yet lived.
Mr.. Ward was young, a broad. shoul.
dered young man, with clear. rather
deep-set eyes, and a firm mouth. The
people Of Saint Jude's pr0phesled that
the world would hear Of Mr. Ward
There was only one bar to his progress
he had too much hum0r. 1t seemed to
the people Of Saint Jude's that religion
Is a serious thing, forgetting that good
cheer Is one of the things 1t must bring
and 1t be religion.
Boroday met Ward in the hall. Old
Hilary was upstairs by that time, lying
in his great bed. All the doors and
windows were open, and sunshine filled
the rooms. Ward thought 1t an un-
usually sane house Of mourning.

asked. ut is a little late for---the
comforts Of religion"

Ward left after that--left with an
uncomfortable feeling of having got

had ever so profoundly impressed him
as this girl who without hope in her
grief met it with IL high head and
courageous eyes.
He felt a certain comfort in one
thing. Elinor had made Il concession,
and Hilary Kingston, lavish giver to
