BROKE INTO MILL
Four young men broke into the mill
whish Mr. H. Brown recently purchas-
ed from E, Merkley, on Saturday aft-
ernoon and helped themselves to a
wiantity of
apple
cider that M
r. Merk-
ley
bad left with his stock of apple
butter which he was storing in the
mill for the present.
The thieves gained entrance through
a window and finding that they could
not lift the trap door leading up to
where the cider was kept, they sawed
a hole in it and climbed up. They
were caught, however. and we under-
stand the case will be tried in court
unless a settlement is made forthwith.

YOUNG MEN OF HURON
RECRUITING MEETINGS
Hell at Wingham are Largely
Attended
On Wednesday evening of last week
a well attended Meeting in the inter -
este of recruiting the 101st Huron Bat-
talion was held in the town hall.
Capt, Dancey, a returned soldier, made
a strong appeal for recruits) and told in
very plain language a few of the bar-
barous atrocities committed by the
Huns. Mr. Musgrove made a very
efficient chairman and opened the
meeting with a few appropriate res
marks, Solos wee admirably given
by Miss Ethel Tipling and Mr. Carson
of London, with Mise Estelle Griffin as
pianiet, Rey. Mr. Ronarte, Wroxeter,
also gave an address and told the
young married men why he enlisted.
On Sunday evening the hall was
packed to the doors before 8,30 tdhear
Lt.•Odl. Mulloy, the blind trooper of
South African fame, talk on recruit-
ing. Col. Mulloy holds a professor-
ship in the Royal Military College,
Kingston, and his address was possibly
the best ever heard here since the com-
mencement of the war. His words
put the appeal to young men in no un-
certain tone, but at the same time the
address was dignified and clean-cut.
He expressed his regret at the misfor-
tune of his old comrade of theBoar war,
Mr. David Lougheed. He referred to
Wingham asa big ace on the ma

in his memory because of it being not
only the home of Mr. Lougbeed, but of
a cousin of his own, Mr. Knox, who
resides with his daughter, Mrs. Swartz
of the Queen's Hotel. Mr. Mulloy
handled hie subject well and went
into thea history of wars, clearly
showing that from the beginning of
time, a nation that was too proud to
fight or too miserly to keep up an
army, always fell a pray to the milit-
arist. He also sighted the outrages
committed by the Mune on the poor
Belgians and stated that should one
of the Allies get discouraged at the
enlistment in Canada, and drop out of
this conflict, unless Canada would sud-
denly awaken, he leered tbat these
same outrages might be commit-
ted in this fair land of ours:
Trooper Mulloy in his address appealed
to the better characteristics of man-
hood and womanhood, and his address
wi11. be.Tcs-a. good effect on recruiting.
Mayor McKibbon acted moll i.. 'are

were given by Miss Mary Currie, Miss
Pocock, Miss Jean VanNorman and
Sergt, Forbes, Pte, Cowell playing the
piano. Mr, A. H. Musgrove, Mr. John
F. Groves, Mr. W. F. VanStone, Mr.
Geo. Spotton and Major Sinclair occu-
pied seate on the platform.
Canada and Australia, with a popu-
lation of twelve millions, occupies one-
eighth of the globe, and the remaining
seven -eighth is now occupied by sixteen
hundred millions of people. Over-
crowded Central Europe, with its de-
creasing little farms of from five to ten
acres, has for years cast envious eyes
upon the ever expanding farms of
Canada; larger than all 'Central Eur-
ope and with only eight millions of
people. If Germany wins, these fair
acres of ours will become the property
of the Hun, the Austrian, the Bulger
and the Turk by right of conquest.
Is this valuable inheritance, carved
out of the forest by your forefathers,
worth defending?
Who is on the firing line fighting for
your property:
Are you so unmindful of your herit-
age and so crassly selfish that you per-
mit other boys to spill their blood in
defence of the you and your.? Will
you stay at home and make money?
If so, there is a taint upon every dol-
lar bill you make, and, in the years to
come; you will hang your head in
shame and be desised by your fellow
citizens and be hated by yourself.
Your neighbors and your relatives
know you should go; married men,
leaving large families of little ones to
the mercy of the State, are coming
forward more freely than single
young men who have no ties. In all
ages, in all lands, single young men
from eighteen to thirty, then up to
forty-five are first drafted. Are you
waiting to be drafted? After the war
is over your own conscience will be
yours accuser every day and every
night. How will you compareayvith
the returned heroes? The excuse that
"mother would not let me go" or that
you "had to produce", or any of the
stork excuses will sound cheap and
foolish.

PATRIOTIC NOTES
MILITARY BAND COMING
Officers Changed About—Several
Citizens Enlist
Several of the recruiting officers of
the Met worn changed the latter part
of the week, Major Sinclair who has
been in charge of Wingham detach-
ment was transferred to Goderich and
Capt, Herb, Campbell who has been
in charge at Goderich was transferred
to Wingham, Lieut. McLean was sent
to Exeter. .Capt, Campbell started in
at once by making a personal canvass
of all the able•bodied young men and
from the start he has made, we believe
he will make things boom in the re-
cruiting line here. He is one of the
best instructors that can be found in
any battalion,
It has been rumored for some time
that Wingham will receive half of the
161st for a month or so, butso far as
we can learn nothing definite has yet
been announced, although the llkli•
hood is that part of the battalion will
train in town for a month or more.
The 101st Military Band under the
leadership of Sergt.-Major Grant will
come to Wingham on the noon train
on Saturday of this week and remain
until May 24th. During their stay in
town they will give several band con-
certs. Two of our young men have
joined this band this week viz., Mr,
e
Joseph Carruth and Mr. L1oyd,H wer.
The following have also enlisted as
privates in the 101st. Mr. R. T. Cow-
ell, organist and choir leader in St.
Andrew's Presbyterian church; Mr,
C. P. Wilkinson. eye specialist; Mr.
'George Jacques, barber; Mr. Norman
Butcher of the Bank of Hamilton staff;,
Mr. Chester Copeland, mail clerk,
"The Hurons" have the distinction
of having three ministers in their
ranks who enlisted as privates.
Rev. T. M. Wesley, Presbyterian
minister of Wroxeter, was the first to
join and is now serving in the head-
quarters department.
Rev. A. F. 1_i. Pree, Anglican minis-
ter of Gerrie. joined last week and
the Rev, T. K. Fairful, Baptist
minister of Clinton and Auburn, sign-
ed up and is naw in khaki. Mr. Fairful
was for several years .in connection
with the Royal Naval Reserve in Eng
land, and also served in the Elawick
