F. W. KERR. . The thirteenth anniversary of the Battle of Paardeburg was celebrated in a most fitting man- ner by the Daughters of the Em- pire yesterday afternoon. Twen- ty-four members of the chapter gathered at the residence of Mrs. Palmer and listened with attention while Rev. F. W. gave a most inspiring ad- rapt subsequent to the battle, its and effect upon after his- Mrs. MeClymont, the vice in a few well chosen words introduced the speaker. Mr. Kerr's opening remarks paid a high tribute to the Canadian soldiers, who, he said, perhaps displayed more bravery than any others in the war. He said that tory. regent, victory for one side meant defeat expan. jsion. Such ideas were too small and should not be attempted in a spirit of self-exaltation. The reverend gentieman = re- the call to arms, which came from our own Dominion. He referred to the courage displayed by both officers and men on the field of battle which perhaps was after all, not as great as that shown by Capt. Seott and his heroic band in the Antarctic regions. He said that while everyone deplored the fact of the South African war and while many considered it un- necessary it was really a ne- cessity in order that the self re- spect and prestige of Great Brit- ain should be maintained in the Transvaal and Orange Free States. Gen. Kitchener consolidated the Free States on May 3ist, 1902. A peace was arranged, and Louis Botha became premier two years later and on May 3ist, 1910, a union was consummated similar to the confederation of the different provinces of our own Dominion with correspond- ing self government. ‘ In justification of the war the speaker drew attention to the Misses May Pearson, Jessie Mor-| fo, the other and said that the|immense quantity of new life rison, Annie Leever, Florence|;ime had passed when victories|which poured into the South Gray, Laura Chadwick, Messrs.| were celebrated.
