A Challenge To Carvell
The Ottawa Free Press invites
Mr. Carvell to repeat outside of
the House what he -aid concern-
ing that Liberal paper under the
proctection of the House. "We
desire," says The Free Press, "au
opportunity in a court of law to
prove that the important part of it
(Carvell's statement) is false and
malicious."
At no time in the history of our
nation has it been faced with a
crisis of such gravity as that which
now exists.

wood pulp to Britain, she can
simply keep her Stockholm.—Mail

Too Late
Canadians ' have at last
wakened up to the serious-
ness of the war situation,
and are enlisting by the
thousands.
They will yet be in time
to Help break the back of
I� aiserdom, but too late
to get life Insurance.
No Canadian Company
will insure an overseas
soldier.
Every eligible
young
man
should, therefore, Insure
now, for, when he makes up
his mind to enlist, he will
be too late.

Now comes Archie McCaig, Lib-
eral M. P. of Kent, with a refutat.
ion of Mr. Carvell's wicked at-
tempt to introduce partisan politics
into the overseas forces of Canada.
Carvell has been folly discounted
by his own side of the House.
When it comes to tying up
groups, little Willie Thaw and his
team mates, Rain, sleet, South,
Wind, Warmer, Higher Temper-
ature, and Mild, has it all ever
any combination ever brought to-
gether. Ile has them tied up all
over the country.
A heading in the London Ad-
vertiser appears as follows "Activ-
ity of Conservatives interferes with
Recruiting" and in the same issue
its editorial "Clinching Nails" is
one of the most bitter against Hon.
Mr. Burrell andthe reason is most-
ly because he had courage to reply
to F. B. Carvell's insinuations.
F. B. Carvell, Liberal member
for Carleton, N. B. when making
the excellent exposure of the exces-
" sive prices paid for bay by the
Dept. of Agriculture, must have
forgotten the prices he himself re-
ceived for hay in 1902, at the time
of the South African war, or he
may possibly have thought that no
one else would have remembered.

Dear Dad:
Your most welcome letter to band
just a few minutes ago and was indeed
pleased to hear from you. I did not
receive the tobacco, as a rule it takes
from a day to two weeks longer for a
parcel to reach us here.' I am very
sorry to hear you have been suffering
from your old complaint and sincerely
hope your suffering was of short dupe -
tion. You spoke of - being
at Testubert. He never saw Testubert
and as for him being gased, gas wasn't
used in that battle. The last that was
seen of him was under the table at
Ypres growling like a dog his nerves
all shot to, shreads, of course shell -fire
is nerve -wrecking and a man must
have good nerve to stand it and that ie
more than — ever had. You are
not aware that he belongedto the 5th.
If he is talking about being gased at
Testabert plainly tell him for me that
gas was not used. As I said this after-
noon believe half the stun you hear.
It gets my goat to hear such people
like -- shooting off what they have
done and he was not out here long
enough to get acquainted. Well dad
I told you all I could this afternoon so
with best wishes, I remain -
Your affectionate son
W. i3eattie.
P.S. My letters are often short but
its no fault of mine, I may start to
write when the order comes to stand
to. There you are, my time is not my
own. Will.

of others. Recently Miss Lewis re-

Stark, a Paisley boy who had enlisted
at Vancouver, but now in France,
stating that the socks had been hand-

and surprised by receiving the socks
