MANY NORTHERN MEN IN ORIGINAL UNIT It is a privilege to testify to the magnificent service rendered by the 102nd Battalion in France. It was always one of the most de pendable units of the Canadian Corps and I sincerely hope that it will be perpetuated in the re organized Canadian Militia.” These are the words of Genera| Arthur Currie in writing to a friend in Vancouver. The men- tion of them follows up very fit- tingly the discussion of the re- establishment of the distinguished regiment with Prince Rupert as headquarters. The first battalion to have an oflicial history written on it is th: {02nd And this book is nearing completion. Its author is Sergt. L. McLeod Gould, M.8.H, Croix de Guerre, who served from the day it was recruited til] it was disbanded, going through all th« engagements in France and Flan- ders with it. The new book traces the history of the battalion from Sil the first tour in the trenches to its final resting place and the title is “From B.C. to Bastieux.’ As well as the battalion history the book will give the complete roll of all men who served in it since its inception, giving their records, decorations and the latest postal addnesses of -all those who returned. Loca! Officers. rhe 102nd Battalion was raised in northern B, C, and Vancouver during the winter of 1915-1916 and landed in France in the sum- mer of 1916. It was ordered to the trenches very early after its arrival overseas and probably went through more hard fighting than any other Canadian unit for the time it was overseas, with the exception of a few battalions, such as the Princess Patricias, that reached France before the first yean of the war. Its com- nanding officer was Col. J. W. Warden, who rose from the rank of private during the war. On Col. Warden's staff were many focal officers, among them Capt. Adair Carss, who fell at Regina trench performing an act of merey; Lieut. Robert A. Stalker, who also paid the supreme sacri- fiee and has children residing in this city, and Major J. F. Brandt, who visited town a few weeks ago. Dr. MeNeill was its medical ofli- cer. Besides these officers from Prince Rupert many from the private nanks were residents of this town. It is true that before the battalion had been over a year it consisted mainly of On- iario men, although on leaving Canada 80 per cent of its mem- bers were northern B. ©. men. That is why Prince Rupert should be selected as the home of the battalion because these men, whose ranks had to be filled be- cause they had fallen on the field or had become disabled in action were mostly men from Prince Ru- pert or district. A Memorial. A memorial building is to be erected here when suflicient funds have been collected. Many of tue oflicers and men whose memories will be eherished for their un- selfish gallantry in the days of darkness, were members of this battalion and residents of this city. Why should the regimental colors and flags not also be kept here and a regiment be formed in Prince Rupert commemorating and honoring its great achieve- ments? LOCAL ADVERTISING At a meeting of the Council of the Board of Trade held yester- day it was decided to write all the other Boards of Trade of the district suggesting co-operation, cially with a view to getting ertising booklet which rees of espe out an adv would deal with the resou the whole district.

Jack Pickford in “Burglar by Proxy” is the picture at the West- holme this evening. It is a rol- licking love story full of com- plications. Jack and Dorothy fall in love with each other despite the fact that Dorothy is engaged and that Jack has a toothache, a flat tire, and a reputation as an amateur burglar. At the Empress Theatre there is a typical western piay. Mrs. Charlie Chaplin plays the star part of Miss Holloway in “For- bidden.” Miss Holloway is seized by one of the villains who is after a diamond crested locket. The girl is no match for him in brute strength but she knows a trick or may not be jiu jitsu. Anyhow, the struggle is brief and the man finds himself lying stunned on the ground while the girl makes good her escape into a nearby house. This episodp, the title of which is “The Van of Disaster,” is re- plete with thrilling scenes in which both stars show splendid disnegard of personal safety. while the camera works.
