PREPARING FOR ENCAMPMENT

Yesterday morning a squad of twenty Volunteers under Sergt.-Major DICKS proceeded to Pleasantville and begun the erection of the tents in preparation for the camping of the Regiment.  At 9 o’clock this morning, the squad will again meet at the C.L.B. Armoury and march to the grounds to continue the preparations.  The doctors will be present at the Armoury at 3 o’clock this afternoon to examine candidates.  It is expected the attestation order will be issued on Monday after which the regiment will immediately go under canvas.

POEM

THE WAR

“Hark!  There was stillness, soft and calm,

            Over the world and men were sleeping,

Time had held forth a healing balm,

            And eyes had long been done with weeping,

Hark!  Now tumult and havoc call,

            Words whirl through dreams and men arise,

Quickly to earth from dreams they fall,

            And through earth’s peace the sound of battle flies.

Our country with the throbbings of her heart,

            Calls to her children and the cause is known,

Determined battle for a righteous part,

            Another victory for an ancient throne,

‘God and your country!’ sons of Britain hear!

            Vict’ry must crown each glorious battle fought,

Vict’ry with ease and manly strength to spare,

            Or firmly brave, a vict’ry dearly bought.

Go!  Kiss in faith her noble guiding hand,

            And call Heaven God’s blessing on her soul,

Go!  Join our Britain’s loud heroic band,

            And win in life or death a hero’s goal,

Oh!  England thou art broidered with brave deeds,

            And e’en thy foe must pride each firm command,

How sprung thy blooms from fruitful infant seeds,

            Till lo!  They blossomed bright on sea and land.

God help our King to keep dear England brave!

            God save our King from peril and from foe,

And brethren hasten from o’er land and wave,

            To save the Union Jack and wear the rose.”

TO THE PEOPLE OF NEWFOUNDLAND

FELLOW COUNTRYMEN:

The Mother Country has been compelled to go to war to preserve, among other things, the rights and liberties which we all enjoy as citizens of the Empire.

Newfoundland, in common with the other Oversea Dominions, has pledged itself to assist the Mother Country with material help in the present extremity.

This is to take form of an increase of the Naval Reserve from Six Hundred to One Thousand Men and the training of a Regiment of Five Hundred Men for land service abroad, and the Colony has further undertaken to assume the full cost of this contingent of Five Hundred Men during the course of the war.

It is our duty and privilege, as loyal and patriotic citizens of the Empire, to voluntarily assist in supporting this movement, and, to raise a fund for that purpose.  This Patriotic Fund will be applied primarily in making provision for the dependent relatives of those who Undertake to fight the battles of the country and the Empire by land and sea and afterwards to such other objects connected therewith as may be deemed desirable.

The need is great and in the confident expectation that this appeal will evoke a prompt and generous response, we respectfully, but strongly, urge all who can, to give as liberally as possible towards this most desrving object.

The undersigned, on behalf of the Patriotic Committee appointed to undertake the organization and dispatch of this regiment, appeal for subscriptions toward this fund.  Contributions may be sent to the nearest magistrate, to the branches of any Banks doing business in the Colony, or to the Treasurer, J. S. MUNN, Esq., and they will be gratefully acknowledged.

W. E. DAVIDSON, Governor

D.     P. MORRIS, Prime Minister

J. M. KENT, Leader of the Opposition

POEM

AN APPEAL

“Too much of careless heed and unconcern,

            Of selfish ease, of listless, long delay!

Are we asleep, nor cannot, learn,

            How great the need, how close the fatal day?

Now War his blood-red banner has unfurled,

            And spectre Death has raised his ensign pale;

Hell’s legions are let loose upon the world,

            Even now, perhaps their wicked arms prevail.

Our proudest boast was, we are Britain’s sons,

            Oldest, most loyal, nearest her heart and hand.

Let her sword flame or thunder forth her guns,

            We first would see, first hear, first with her stand.

That day is here: let us fulfill the boast!

            Her sword is drawn, her deep-voiced cannon speak,

There where she steadfast fronts the impious host,

            Whose hands with rapine and with murder reek.

On noblest Britain!  See her at this hour!

            Her head erect; her proud eye flashing fire;

Her arm upraised in righteous wrath, with power,

            To crush the braggarts that durst not come nigh her;

Her plighted faith well kept; her fame more bright;

            Her land an armed camp, where greatest shame,

Is to be idle – through her blackest night,

            The war-torch burns, but with a holy flame.

But what is this to us?  What these alarms?

            Why should not England? England’s need endure?

Oh shameful question!  Look but where her arms,

            Keep sleepless watch and make OUR peace secure.

But not for that – are we such selfish stuff,

            As to count less her loss than our gain?

Our mother needs us: is not that enough?

            Our mother calls us: shall she call in vain?

Honour to those whose names are on the roll!

            Honour to those who lend a helping hand!

Honour to all our leaders – heart and soul,

            Let us work with them, all the whole wide land.

Up as one nation!  To be idle now,

            Count it dishonour.   There is work for all.

Up, and be doing!  Ask not why, or how:

            No service is too mean, no help too small.

Ye, who would do the little that ye ought,

            Be earnest, sober, cheerful; what ye may,

Give freely, gladly; stifle selfish though;

            Make sacrifice; help one another; watch and pray.

And you, ye lucky chosen, ye brave few,

            Destined to tread where your brave sires have trod,

Go, and do proudly that ye have to do;

            Go, strong of heart, and serve, like warriors true,

Your country, empire, King; your cause, your faith, your God!”

LEARNING TO SHOOT

VOLUNTEERS GETTING READY

The camps at the Rifle Range for accommodation of the Volunteers during their three days rifle practice there, have all been erected, the work being completed yesterday.  The stores have all been taken up and the ammunition will be brought there to-day.  The first squad of 64 will proceed to the Range to-morrow night and begin practice at 6 o’clock next morning, continuing on Saturday and Sunday.  Until the arrival of the Ross rifles, which have been ordered from Canada, service rifles obtained from the Calypso will be used.  In the miniature practice yesterday, and which will be continued each day at the different armouries, the novices after a few shots kept on the target and did splendid, shooting, considering they had no previous experience as marksmen.  Sergt. Inst. MOORE, who has put in twenty odd years in the Army, says they are the best squad of recruits he has ever come in touch with.

FAREWELLING TO MISSES. MARTIN

After the usual routine business of the Women’s Missionary Society at Wesley Church yesterday afternoon, a social hour was spent, and a farewell provided Miss Gertrude MARTIN, who has been home on a furlough for a year.  Miss MARTIN returns to Indian work among the girls of the Methodist Church at Kishpiax, and her sister Miss Eva MARTIN goes to Hazelton, about ten miles distant, for to train as a nurse in the very fine hospital, at which Rev. Dr. WRENCH is the medical superintendent.  The meeting wished the Misses MARTIN God’s blessing and a safe passage to their distant field of labor.  They leave on Monday next.

Proposed song for “Newfoundland Regiment”

Air: “Tramp, Tramp,Tramp.”

“Don’t you hear the war alarms,

            From ten million men in arms,

Don’t you hear the clash of swords and cannons roar,

            Don’t you hear the Teuton boast,

That he’ll smash the allied host,

            And he’ll drench the European plains in gore?

Then up brave boys of Terra Nova,

            To the highest heaven let your slogan ring,

Sons of Britain’s oldest daughter,

            We come o’er the Western water,

And we’ll fight for our Country and our King.

When Great Britain sent her call,

            To her scattered children all,

To bravely stand together for the right,

            And to stop the Foe’s advance into Belgium and France,

Terra Nova joined her sisters in the fight.

Then up brave boys, etc., etc.

In the fight the Lion and Bear,

            And the Beaver will be there,

And the Dog of Newfoundland so true and brave,

            Firmly in the line he’ll stand,

When there’s fighting on the land,

            And you’ll hear him when his bark is on the wave.

Then up brave boys, etc., etc.

Now the Empire’s sons assemble,

            They will make the tyrant tremble,

From shore to shore the meteor flag’s unfurled,

            Fighting in a righteous cause,

For God, freedom, and just laws,

            See the Britons clasping hands around the world.

Then up brave boys, etc., etc.”

First Newfoundland Regiment

SPEECH BY LT.-COL. SIR WALTER DAVIDSON

REGIMENTAL OFFICERS APPOINTED

At Quidi Vidi Camp, yesterday, His Excellency, Sir Walter DAVIDSON, appointed the officers of the regiment, preceding the announcement with a brief address.  He said: -

“Officers, Non-commissioned Officers, and men of the First Newfoundland Regiment.  I stand before you to-day for the first time as your Lieut.-Colonel.  The law requires the appointment of a Lieut.-Colonel;  the Selection Committee pressed me to undertake the duties and my Ministers accorded  to the proposal their fullest approval.  I offered the office to the three best men I knew, but each declined, and asked me to be your first Lieut.-Colonel.

I accept the offer with pride, not because I intend to take any active part in the control of the Contingent now in training for the Front, but because it associates me with as fine a body of Officers and men as I ever expect to know.  My business is to see that the work of preparation, training and equipment goes smoothly, widely and well.  I shall not be in evidence;  I shall not even wear uniform;  but, (though little seen or heard) I shall be watching and guarding the interests of  each one of you, both now and when you are fighting for us, and in your after career.  I am only concerned as Lieut.-Colonel with the training of this Contingent;  it is for the representatives of the people to decide hereafter whether other men are to be made ready for waqr.

The enemy you go to fight are a nation in arms.  To every single man, his part has been carefully arranged in advance, and he has been trained for that special duty.  Their object is to secure the utter and abject submission of all who oppose them, and to trample down opposition by the terrors of murder, spoliation and destruction.

You lads are our vanguard.  You represent one in a hundred of the able bodied men of Newfoundland capable of bearing arms.  I have little doubt that, when the knowledge of the war and its stupendous results become known, more will offer to join you at the front to fight for our King on behalf of freedom and justice, the maintenance of the British Empire and the honor of Newfoundland.”

The Regimental Adjutant then read out the following appointments: -
