WORLD PEACE
FRINGE'S MOVING APPEAL THIEPVAL MEMORIAL CEREMONY Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. LONDON, August 2. (Received August 3, at 12.40 p.m.) In the presence of M. Le Brun, M. Herriot, and distinguished representatives from all parts of the Empire, including Colonel Lascelles (New Zealand), the Prince of Wales unveiled the memorial at Thiepval. He said: “ These myriad names, carved in stone and printed on almost endless pages, must bo no mere book of the dead. They must be the opening chapter of a new book of life, the foundation of a guide to a better civilisation, from which war is banished and in which national bitterness, selfishness, and greed shall flee abashed. The first chapter will tell of the growth of the neighbourly spirit among the nations. These names testify against the past and call us to a better civilisation, in which it will at last be realised that the only sure happiness for each nation is peace and prosperity. Let us advance towards the conquest of tho world’s peace and to international amity.”
