' |*j TO RAISE HUGE SUM I Grenfell's Supporters In America Engage in Drive With Million and a Half Objective. i PROMOTERS PLAN TO ENDOW MISSION TORONTO, Oct. ft—Mr. C. Perry Burgess, special representative of Dr. Henry Van Dyke, chairman of the International Committee of the International Grenfell Association, is in Toronto to assist in the plans being made by the local committee in connection with the international campaign to raise $1,500,000 to perpetuate Dr. Grenfell's work. The campaign begin in Toronto on Sunday."Dr. Van Dyke desires his appreciation to be expressed for the way Toronto is taking hold of the campaign," said Mr. Burgess. "the results at London, Ontario, where Doctor Grenfell began his tour on Monday, have been particularly encouraging *,and Dr. Van Dyke wishes mc to say that he is confident that Canada will go over the top again in this campaign as it has in so many others. Met With Success Dr. Gr en fells campaign to raise a million and a half dollars in Canada and the . United States for mission work in Labrador was launched Monday, when the doctor addressed the Rotary Club, telling of his plans. It was announced that Arthur T. Little, of Robinson, Little and Company, brother of Mayor E. S. Little, i has offered to give a sum equal to 25 per cent, of the total amount raised here. President George M. Reid of the Chamber of Commerce donated a $1,000 Victory Bond, and numerous other substantial amounts were received. Dr .Grenfell, in discussing the political condition of Labrador, advocated the confederation of Canada and Newfoundland as a means of settling disputes over various phases of control. The natives in the section under the domain of Newfoundland enjoy franchise rights, but according to the doctor do not wisely employ them. He told of his purchase of 300 reindeer at a cost of $15,000 and of the growth of his herd to 1,500 within six years. Reindeer are easily milked, he said .though the difficulties of identification have caused some of his help to attempt to milk the same animal half a dozen times in the same hour. Dr. and Mrs. Grenfell will arrive in Toronto the end of this week and will be accompanied by Dr. Padden, who has been in charge of the work north of the Straits of Belle Isle for many years. The engagements for the week include Sunday, October 10th, afternoon .address in Convocation Hall. Monday, 11 th, address at Canadian Club luncheon, King Edward Hotel.

MONUMENT ON THAMES TYPIFIES THE GRATITUDE OF BELGIUM TO BRITAIN Erected By Belgian Refogees Who Found a Home in Great Britain While the Huns Were Devastating Their Own Country and life in Belgium was Unbearable. DISTINGUISHED REPRESENTATIVES ARE PRESENT FOR THE UNVEILING CEREMONY YESTERDAY LONDON, Oct. 12—M. Delacroix, premier of Belgium, unveiled today as a gift from Belgian refugees resident in this country during the war a beautiful memorial erected on the Thames embankment. The memorial is the work of Victor Rousseau, a distinguished sculptor. It represents Belgium as a woman dressed in mourning in the act of telling her children that Belgians will/fever forget their debt of grati tude to great Britain. The children —a boy and a gir4-—bear garlands and floral emblems symbolic of the wealth of the nine Belgian provinces. The children themselves are designed to typify the Belgian spirit of con fidence and hope for the future. Belgium was represented at ceremony, by Princess Clementine, Count De Roodenbeeco, Vice President of the Senate and other cHstin guished personages. Princess Louise Duchess of Argyll, represented the British xoyal family and Bail Curzon was present to accept the gift on behalf of Great Britain. M. Delacroix Speak*. When Princess Clementine arrived, the guard of honor saluted and the band played the Belgian nation al anthem .while the large crowd present cheered. M. Delacroix, in the course of his speech, alluded in eloquent terms to this countyr's entry into the war for.*he prime object of defending the right and deliver in 2 Bekium. He continued: "The similarity of our historical development and the many characteristics which we have in common are favourable ground for the development of the strong friendships which were born through comradeship on the battlefield, through life under the same roof, through the fact of having suffered together and for one another. All these things create between the two nations such ties as are difficult to define. They are more intimate and more lasting than those deriving from formal agreements." Earl Curzon Replies. Earl Curzon said the ceremony took them back to the famous period.'when the great decision had to be taken which decided for centuries to come the fate of the world. Belgium ,a small nation, made the decision whether she would stand for honor and liberty and justice or yield to brute force and violence and from that day to this the two nations had stood side by side fought the same battles .endured die same suffering won the same victories. Bel: gium had been patient and admirable in suffering and was wonderful in recovery. Belgium now stood independent and fearless, strong en-, ough to be afraid of no enemy; j strong enough to hold her own; strong enough to cringe to no friend That monument would remain as the symbol that the two nations, joined together in August 1914 were to re main united forever.
