famed Channel porta we have
come through an endless stream
of shipping. It is of al! sorts, of
all nationalities: here a great
liner, there ‘a rusty tramp or a
little sailing craft. Onder the
land by Folkestone a great battle-
ship blends into the haze, while
nearer at hand a four-funnelled
destroyer with knife-like bows
leaves a creamy wake astern.
Over there William the Con-
querer landed.” Qver there the

Life aboard ship is a new ex-
perience to many of the 178 who
comprise the Canadian Weekly
Newspapers Association party.
One member, whois also a doctor,
did good work shortly after leav-
ing Canada ‘when he performed
an entirely successful operation

Yesterday roses were
sold on board in honor of Queen
Alexandra. .There have bern the
usual concerts, dances, sweep-
stakes and victims of mal de mer.

There has also been an issue of
“The Melita Surprise’, published
by a committee of editors, Its
jokes include a tatl story from
B.C.: A Savage met Jaeges, fell
in Love, and proceeded to Kerry

From the foreword readers may
glimpse what this tour means:—

‘Probably no more representa-
tive body of Canadians ever vis-
ited the seat of Empire in one
party than that now in mid-ocean
en route for a tour of Europe,
the greater part of the itinerary
of which will be spent in the
British Isles. From every proy-
ince of Canada the men of the
Weekly Press are gathered, most
of them to visit for the first time
the sea-girt land of: their ances-
tors, roam about the places and
scenes familiar in history, and
mingle with some at least of the
‘men who are now directing the

allegiance, .

“Ours,. too, will be the proud
privilege of visiting many of the
graves of the 60,000 Canadian
lads whose mortal remains rest
peacefully in France and Flan-
ders, and there we will pay them
the tribute of our love and tears,

to be faithful and steadfast in
our adherence to the ideals for
which they. died and to the fur-
therance of everything which can
make for the welfare of the great
Dominion which gave them to the
world i in the'fight for freedom.

“For all‘of us the trip i is one in

which ‘every prospect pleases’,

and we are looking forward with
keen anticipation to the experi-
ences which are before us,

‘From another standpoint, too,
the trip should have beneficial
results. Our associations during

and rail and motor ear cannot but

throughout Canada on our return,
cannot but help to cement more
firmly the tie that binds us in the
great British Commonwealth.”’
