An- Ardent Patriot. “T would rather that my boy die in France, than that the allies make a Germman peace or an inconclusive peace,” was the way ome splendid azainst himself, not against others. A gay, young life amid the white lights of Paris, too little restraint where his own individual interests were at stake, finally led to his leaving his past be- hind him. He came away in a mo- ment of despair, as he once stated to a friend here in a moment of despon- dency, and arrived in Montreal,_from Jwhich' city he soon made his way. to Danielson to remain, as it proved, to the end of his days. Count Sargent was an honest man. This tribute is unreservedly his and it deserves to be recorded. Hijs one great fault, against which he Strug- gled, was a fault. that has claimed other men by the thousands and made them slaves to habit: but this aside ° was a , cultured, refined and with a broad conception of the great truths of life and of the impor- tant affairs of the world. s Conversation “with him revealed no trace of rancor over his logt prestij and place. He accepted his atate bt life with a_complatency that was nét less than ‘remarkable. Occasionally, to a close friend. he would, in.a mo- ment of enthusiasm, expréss an inten- tion to return.to ce. and _his. fam- ily and frie; but this resolution al- ways seemed to die almost as his lips expressed. the thought. \ The outbreak of the present great struggle, which has ihreatoned - the yery life of the great nation from which he came, found him fired with patriotism and offering his: services for its defence-agmis - #,ruthless in- veder, but.he was told thit'be was too 9l and could not be accepted for ser- ce.
