Depestleata st Merchant Sailors Appeal
to Canada for Aid.
When the history of the war comes to
be written, some of the brightest pages
will be found recording the deeds of the
merchant seamen. Day by day and week
by week, in spite of the submarine. the
floating mine. and the most destructive I
devices known to maritime warfare, the
merchantmen ply the ocean and carry
munition supplies and food over there.''
Regardless of every peril 300.000 mer-
chant sternal still "carry ten:" 15.000 of
them have already paid the price of their
bravery. As members of an unofficial
scrvicasi,Cblvernment makes no provision
for them. Right or wrong, it is a fact that
their dependents have no one to look to
but a grateful nation. "Sailors' Week" is
a Dominion- wide campaign to raise funds
to relieve the distress of these widows
and orphans of the sea. Ontario is asked
to raise 81.000,000.
Godench's share of this is 82,500. A
house-to-house canvass to secure this
amount will be soak by the Daughters of
the Empire and business men's committee
on Thursday. September 5th. Remember
the day. and give generously, for these
men gave their lives for you.
In connection with the Goderich cam-
paign there will be a public meeting in the
court house on Tuesday. September 3rd.
at 8 p. m., to be addressed by Rev. Dr.
Conn. of London. an expert on Navy
League matters. Come and hear about

T ! War News Is Good.
The netrs from the theatre of war grows better and better.
All along a line stretching from Arras in the north to Soissons
iu the south, a front of nearly one hundred miles, the Allied
force, are driving the Germans back and inflicting severe
pualabment upon them as they retreat. Over two-thirds of
the territory overran by the Germans since the beginning of
their great offensive in March of this year has been retaken,
and new gains are being added every day. Most significant
of all is the breaking at several points of the old Hindenburg
line; if this can be followed up successfully the entire German
position in Prance will be in danger.
The Canadians have again been in the forefront of the
fighting, and have made important gain$ in territory which
had been lllsld by the Germans since 1914,
The war is going well.
