  • [start of clipping] RECENT PHOTO OF KITCHENER [photograph] [end of clipping] [start of clipping] REPORTED MISSING [photograph] CAPT. HUGH N. FRASER, reported "missing," is a son of Mr. John B. Fraser, of Ottawa, and is well known here. He was a very popular officer and was staff captain of the mounted infantry brigade, under Brig. General Victor Williams. [end of clipping] [start of clipping] THE MAN IN UNIFORM. Memorial Service. The quaint little church of St. Bartholomew, on McKay street, which faces Rideau Hall, was the scene yesterday morning of a very impressive event when a memorial service was held there for the late Lt.-Col. Buller, the third to command the Princess Patricias, who recently was killed in action. Like his predecessor, Lt.-Col. Farquhar, he was an aide to H. R. H. the Duke of Connaught at Government House, before the formation of this regiment. Col. Rivers-Bulkeley, the first commander of the famous regiment and Col. Farquhar, were also killed at the front. The rector of the church, Rev. Canon Haningron, preached a very appropriate sermon, paying a tribute to the late member of his congregation - that he was a good soldier and died at his post doing his duty. The preacher took his text as, "He is not God of the dead but of the living." He also referred to the splendid characteristics of the deceased. There were special hymns for the occasion, several chosen at the request of His Royal Highness the Governor General. They included "For all the Saints," "On the resurrection morning," "Fight the good fight," with Nunc Dimittis. During the offertory the organist, Mr. Minter, played "Rest in the Lord," by special request. There were also special prayers fro the occasion. Among those present were Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Connaught and Princess Patricia, Sir Robert and Lady Borden, Sir Henry Egan, Col. E. A. Stanton, Major Duff, Capt. Legh, Capt. S. H. Moore, R. C. N., Capt. MacIntosh, and other members of Government House staff. [end of clipping] [start of clipping] [JELLICO?] IN OFFICIAL REPORT HOLDS NO HOPE OF SURVIVORS THE ADMIRAL'S REPORT. Admiral Jellicoe's reports to the admiralty follow:-- "I have to report with deep regret that His Majesty's Ship Hampshire, Captain Herbert J. Savill, R.N., with Lord Kitchener and his staff on board, was sunk last night at about 8 o'clock, to the west of the ORkneys, either by a mine or a torpedo. Little Hope of Survivors. "Four boats were seen by observers on shore to leave the ship. The wind was north northwest and heavy seas were running. Patrol vessels and destroyers at once proceeded to the spot and a party was sent along the coast to search, but only some bodies and a capsized boat have been found up to the present. As the whole shore has been searched form the seaward, I greatly fear that there is little hope of there being survivors. "No report has yet been received from the search party on shore. "H.M.S. Hampshire was on her way to Russia." [end of clipping] [start of clipping] Capt. Howard. An Aylmer boy in the battalion is Capt. Lawrence Howard, a son of Mr. [photograph] CAPT. HOWARD and Mrs. L. A. Howard of the Lake Deschenes town. He saw much fighting in France but although wounded has been fortunate enough to recover. He is one of the young men of Aylmer who is a great credit to the town. He will command "B" company. [end of clipping]
